1 month loc’d ✨

Feeling both excited and a little nervous as I start this new journey! 🥹 I’ve decided to start my locs—partly because I realized I’ve been spending way too much on getting my hair done, and partly because I love low-maintenance, get-up-and-go styles. So far, I’m really enjoying the process and have even been getting a lot of compliments, which means so much—especially since I was super anxious about the starter locs phase. Here’s to embracing the journey! 🌱✨

... Read moreStarting locs can be an exhilarating yet daunting process. The first month is crucial as your hair begins to lock and develop its unique texture. Many people choose locs for a variety of reasons, from embracing natural beauty to reducing the time spent on daily styling. During the starter locs phase, it’s essential to maintain a healthy hair care routine. Keeping your locs clean and adequately moisturized helps to prevent buildup and dryness. Consider using natural oils, such as jojoba or avocado oil, to keep your hair nourished while allowing it to lock properly. In addition, connecting with communities online, such as the #starterlocs or #locjourney hashtags, can provide support and inspiration. Many individuals share their stories, tips, and product recommendations that can aid you in your journey. Embrace the journey, celebrate your progress, and remember that every loc journey is unique! 🌟

On March 2nd, I was officially one month loced. Lots of frizz and you can still see my twists, but it’s a great start. I usually have such a hard time with decisions and I’m so proud of myself for going through with this amazing journey. #locjourney #startedlocjourney

#lemon8diarychallenge tbh I’m not gonna sugarcoat!! I am literally just now starting to love my locs! It was so hard to gain confidence in the first 5 mths I wore so many wigs! I dyed them the bright orange to help wear them out and just recently dyed them back jet black and I fell in love!
