    Just hit a year with my locs and it was hard waiting for a protective style because I was scared that one before 1 year would impede my progress. Let me tell you that I think my hair can do math because when I washed my hair two days before I hit a year, all the frizzies and loose ends got themselves together and decided to look more like mature locs, so I skipped the protective style. This journey is amazing and if I ever get tired, I will probably be rocking the TWA with razor sharp precision edge ups!

    • @daelocs
      @daelocs  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Lol it’s so funny how our Locs struggle for so long and then pull it all together out of nowhere! Lol

  • @Thisreadingcorner
    @Thisreadingcorner 3 ปีที่แล้ว +21

    They look beautiful, I definitely miss my long braids at times. I also did my braids/twists myself and I put Marley twists over my starter locs once but it barely made it two weeks. Since I started my locs, I’m so much more tender headed and the tension on my scalp felt so much worse than normal with braids. So since then it’s just headwraps or locs out

    • @daelocs
      @daelocs  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have done this and I was only able to keep them in for about a week and a half. I was worried about the weight on my locs so I keep the braids up in a bun. Eventho it looked very cute I had the worst headache and neck pain and had to take them out to get some release. Good news, my lots were fine.

    My scalp also hurt after braids for the first time after locking. I think our scalps reset to being tender when we leave them alone for a long time so maybe it's normal

    A few months ago I tried braiding over my locs, and I took them out a few weeks later. I did notice a couple of locs felt thinner. So, I doubt I will be going in that direction again :(

I even tried to condition the hair before I installed it but apparently did not work for me. It also made my Locs dry. I would want to try again when my Locs are more mature. its only been 6 months

    Yours look so good! Mine are amazing but I can’t take it anymore. It’s so heavy and it’s still hurting a week and a half later. I try to put it in a bun and I feel like ima fall over cause it’s just so heavy. I have 91 locs and my hair is relatively thick so idk. I got really long braiding hair (50inches so I guess after braiding it’s about 25) and I think I shoulda got a shorter length. My locs bust out the braids often too 🤦🏾‍♀️

    That style looks great. Do you plan on growing your locs indefinitely or do you think you'll cut them at a certain length?
    I've kept my hair short for many years because of maintenance. Now I'd like to grow my locs but I worry about heaviness. When my hair is soaked in the shower, it already feels kind of heavy and it's only shoulder length.
