    Your locs look good. I fortunately found a good loctician. She has combined at 10 of my locs, which is frustrating, but I don’t want to do my own reties. I had stopped braiding and banding at 7-8 months, but now I’m back to braiding and banding due to slippage.

    I'm 5 days into my loc journey, and I have no intention of seeing a loctician. Humans have been locking their hair for thousands of years, and I doubt that the ancient people of India had locticians. But getting back to the 21st Century, I can use TH-cam University and learn how to maintain my hair myself.
