    I rather have my locs in a cute shape, than just long and hanging. This is why I enjoyed my locs more at a shorter length. I am on my 2nd set after I chopped off my 3 years bleached golden blonde locs. I am keeping this 2nd set of locs cut short in a style, they just look more hip, unique when they are shorter. You can see my earrings better, lol.
    Love a natural who is not length crazed and love a good cut/shape. Excited to watch your journey.

      You are so on point..my hair is just hanging there and I don't like it 😂 I'm not length obsessed either

      @@DearStephanieX. I went to cosmetology school and learned about different hair styles/lengths that suit the face shape better. So as I was growing out my locs, I knew that hair right at shoulder length or above flatters my face shape better. Find you a cute length to cut it into Sis! LOL. One thing about hair, it will grow back 👍🏾

    This is one of the best bob cuts on tiny locs I've ever seen. The layers are pronounced. That's one of my issues, every since my locs got long it doesn't look that full. I love BIG hair.
    The 4c'er is another influencer I watch she has so many tiny locs and they are beautiful as well. I love your locs, you're definitely an inspiration.

    I have loose afro hair. I recently got a hair shape and it makes such a big difference. I was left with a length similar to yours when shrunken. I can finally wear a wash and go.
    I had gotten my hair trimmed many times by different stylists, but never had a shape up. Best decision I took for my hair.

    I did the same as well. My hair was looking right, so I trimmed & shaped my hair. It looks a 1000x better.

      Hi! I got them from the beauty supply store but I modified them to fit my locs. They were too big before I did the modification :)

    I had to do a big cut like this at my 1 year. I’ll probably have to do another at my 3 yr mark

    • @theminimalistnatural

      How has it been growing out for you? I think this shape will be nice for a while - I hope!

      It's been growing out nice into a beautiful bob shape. Last year my hair was like your before pic and I was really uncomfortable wearing it down.@@theminimalistnatural
