My Loc Journey 🫶✨

2024/2/9 Edited to

... Read moreIn exploring locs, many find that color can significantly enhance the style and personal expression. Over the past couple of years, individuals with locs have embraced vibrant shades including auburn, blonde, and brown. This evolution often tells a personal story and reflects an identity, showcasing how locs uniquely adapt to different hues. Changing colors not only boosts confidence but also signifies different phases in one’s life, especially with the popular half-and-half look that blends shades to create an eye-catching contrast. It's worth discussing the maintenance and care that comes with coloring locs, as improper techniques can lead to damage. This emphasizes the importance of choosing the right products and treatments tailored for colored locs to maintain their health and integrity. As you consider your loc journey, think about the colors that resonate with your personality. Each shade can add a new chapter to your story. Have you experimented with colors? If you're contemplating a change, share your experiences or thoughts on moving from one style to another.

My loc journey was different! Flew by super fast! I stopped getting my hair done professionally about 3 years ago because I haven’t found a loctition yet that I align with. I dye, retwist and style my hair myself although I’m not big on styling. I remember when I first got my locs, some lady at

I started my own locs with the intention of doing #microlocs but honestly I got lazy and they became bigger than intended but it was a blessing in disguise!! I maintain my own hair while being in college so microlocs would’ve been too much so I would say mine are #smalltraditionallocs :)

I started with keeping my hair in two strand twists back in February to get to the idea of locs. Then I waited for it to loc from the twists but I was still nervous. A few did loc but a couple of days ago, I took the plunge and started to locs this way. Now it’s time to wait to see the outcome.

I remember when I started my locs , they was ugly and I didn’t like them. But I managed to make them work and they grew and I love them so much. Some broke all the way off and some matured beautifully I was gonna chop them off but it’s just gotta take care of them and now they down to my shoulders.
