10 YEARS WORTH OF LOCS

Hey everyone! 🌟 Just wanted to share how amazing the journey of growing locs has been for me over the past 10 years. It's not just about the hair; it's about self-expression, culture, and embracing my natural beauty. If you're considering locs or are on your own journey, remember to be patient and enjoy every stage. Each twist and turn is a part of your unique story! 💖✨@#lovelylocsjourney #mylocjourney #unfiltered

LOC STAGES FROM BABY LOCS TO MATURE
My locs have gone through a lot of changes in the last five years. Having locs is definitely one of the best decisions I have ever made, and I wouldn’t change it for anything. Here are some pictures of my progress during my locking stages. #locs #locstyles #locjourney #locstages #star

My LOCS are FLOURISHING!!!! 🌸
Can’t believe that it’s been two years since I started my loc journey. My hair has changed so much and I love them. I started my locs as two strand twist…I think that when I counted them I had about 280 mini/micro twist! 😬 I just wanted to share my locs with everybody. #letschat #lemon8storytime

Goodbye to the Locs
They say that your hair holds memories, I guess it’s time to make some new ones. Today I cut off 18 years of hair ready and excited to start the next chapter of my life, whatever that looks like. Took the leap and I’m super thankful it came out so amazing. S/o to Jason over at @kleankuttsbarber

Locs 🌸🤍🌸🌿
I like the look of Locs. I can grow my hair into long locs if I want too. but someone told me because I asked how long does it take for locs to grow she told me 10 years. I don't think it'll take me 10 years maybe five. but I like the look all the same so natural and pretty.

So I have been maintaining my own locs for the past 3-4 years. Before locking my hair, I was always one to learn any style I wanted to do at that moment. These products have helped my hair grow along with things such as Aloe Vera on occasion. I’m very minimal so throughout the week all I do is

HOW TO GROW LONG HEALTHY LOCS
When I first decided to loc my hair 8 years ago I was so excited ! I always wanted re-twists and new styles 2-3 times a month (NO) . Please learn to love your locs with or without the retwist. Mositurizing and keeping my hair in 2-strand twists or braided has saved me from damaging my locs ! Below
