      Me too girl !!!! But honestly the first time o started my locs journey my hair was very short and I only remember three days of me having a bad hair day lol tbh I don’t really remember the ugly phase it’s like starter locs then boom I got hang time lol

      @@laurenlocd3180 I just started my loc journey but my hair has always been short. Does having locs make a difference in how it grows? People keep telling me that ima have hang time but like why would it grow now if it has never grown before lol.

      Mine were beautiful when I first started. It’s the frizz that will get you. I’m usually natural and not self conscious about my hair but I hate looking like I don’t take care of myself and that’s what I currently look like sadly lol I haven’t cried yet but it’s frustrating

      Right I started my locs yesterday I had 14 inches of hair. My loctician kept telling me how healthy my hair is and asking me why I wanted to start locs. My twists are like 3 or 4 inches long because of shrinkage 😫

    If you're really trying to go all natural with locs you should really only use water to retwist your hair and don't use any gels or wax to do a retwist

    Month 3 is the stage NOBODY tells us about. I’m in month 3 and currently dying. My hair is very soft and shiny and pretty. But right now it just looks so bad. I wrap my frizz too but it does not help. I just said fuck it, I let my locs stick up, I lay my edges and do my make up. I’m over trying to hide it at this point lol

    I had a question about what you said happened with your twists unraveling when you put the passion twists in. If you start your twists off twisting to the left isn’t of the right, will that minimize the unraveling? My kids are mixed and I’ve been braiding their hair and said I’d be a pro by the time they are old enough to need one.
