Feeling comfortable In My Two Strands

Hey guys I know I’ve been MIA but I’m back fr now lmao. 🤸🏽‍♀️For starters I’m 4 years loc’d and I’ve always had trouble accepting what my locs looked like in two strands until now. Don’t get me wrong I absolutely love my hair! With how much I’ve grown as a person throughout these 4 years.The main reason I loc’d my hair is because I honestly hated my loose natural hair. Not saying I was bald then but I felt like it would never grow💀

I started my locs after I buzzed my hair off and I let my hair grow out for 9 months. (4th slide)THEY WERE LITERALLY MAGGOTS WHEN I STARTED size wise anyway🙂‍↔️. I had THE MOST confidence when they didn’t pass my ears and I honestly didn’t care(still don’t🙂‍↔️). Even then I still didn’t do two strands until about year 3.

Either way let me be your motivation to just say F it and keep going! IF YOU GOTTA ADD HAIR DO IT. It’s going to happen for you. I remember sometimes i would get discouraged by the way they looked in the beginning but i would always tell myself “You’ve had less hair than this before”🤸🏽‍♀️

Locs have become a popular hairstyle choice, especially among those looking to embrace their natural textures. Understanding the different styles of locs, including two-strand twists, can help you find a look that suits your personality. Many people begin their loc journey after experiencing a big haircut or buzz cut, similar to the author's experience. It's common to face challenges during the early stages as the hair transforms, and having a strong support system or community can significantly boost your confidence. Incorporating hair accessories and exploring different styles, like updos or colored locs, can make the journey more exciting. Additionally, maintaining a healthy scalp and hair regimen is crucial for the growth and health of your locs. Don’t hesitate to connect with others in the loc community online and share your journey through social media. Remember that everyone's hair journey is unique, and celebrating your progress is what matters most.
