I absolutely love Marley twists. This is my second time doing them on myself and these are my current ā€œgo-toā€ styles. Usually when I search for inspo on styles to do, I look for loc hairstyles. I feel like this is a great hairstyle for the people who aren’t ready to commit to locking their hair yet

First time doing a long drive by myself. Advice?
I'm planning to take my first 5-hour road trip alone to visit one of my friend. My car is the base model and it doesn't have cruise control. Nevertheless, it is in good working condition. I have never driven for more than 3 hours by myself before. I'm a bit scared. It's 350 mile
