🩷 I started my locs with the interloc method

🩷Locs 7 yrs old

🩷I don't wash my hair often but need to as it's gotten longer lol

🩷after being a product junkie lol..I don't use products..only occasional coconut oil, eco styler gel for twisting and WATER!! (don't want build up)

🩷 I retwist every 6 months but I'm about to switch it to every 3 or 4 months

🩷 alot of my locs have thinned out due to water damage so I've had to ✂️ ✂️

🩷I cannot wear a ponytail for too long 😩

🩷 my locs love sunlight and water.

🩷 my locs are my flowers

🩷best hair decision EVER

🩷NEVER cutting my locs off. it's my natural state.

... Read moreFor anyone considering starting their loc journey, understanding the various methods of locking hair is essential. The interloc method, which I used, is a popular choice due to its effectiveness in creating lasting locks. It's important to remember that during the initial stages, having a consistent hair care routine is crucial. Many loc'd individuals opt for minimal product use to prevent buildup, which can hinder the natural beauty of locs. My regimen includes just water, coconut oil, and eco styler gel—this simplicity has helped maintain the health of my hair. As locs mature, they can become heavy, so adjusting retwisting timelines is necessary; I now plan to retwist every 3-4 months instead of 6. Sunlight and hydration are vital for healthy locs. Incorporating ample water and letting locs soak up natural sunlight promotes growth and resilience. However, be mindful of water damage, as it can lead to thinning and breakage. Regular trims might be required to keep locs looking their best. Ultimately, embracing and celebrating your natural hair journey can be empowering. Locs are more than just hairstyles; they symbolize individuality and commitment to natural beauty. Whether you're starting your loc journey or looking for tips to maintain existing locs, remember that every journey is unique.
