I finally started my loc journey!! It was such an easy process and I don’t regret it. It is only day one and my hair just feels so full and healthy. I can’t wait till my hair starts maturing. Even though I wish it looked longer (because shrinkage will humble you real quick) I don’t regret it all!!🥰
