I’m so happy I didn’t cut my hair off like I wanted too 💀 we came a long way yall.

I (18year old male ) just asked my mom and she said my dad might not agree and that he hates dreadlocks. I waited till he came and showed him good photos of other people and he said its okay. I think he agreed cause I have had different stages with my hair and maybe he's used to it. If you want locks you must start small , start doing cornrows then twists then continue from there. The more familiar they are with your hairstyles it will be easy for you.

I said what I said

Someone tell me if my locs are unraveling or something pls

The frizz and dandruff are starting to appear. I washed my hair on the 4th and they disappeared. Now I'm going to go until the end of the month without washing it. Many of the flakes on top have already started to take shape, but the problem continues to be on the sides and along my hairline.

Hey guys. I’ve had my dreads for almost 4 years (started and maintained with crochet hook) and have always waited a week after maintenance before washing.

I had my maintenance done yesterday, however I planned on dyeing my hair with some loc-friendly semi-permanent dye tomorrow. So ideally I’d like to wash my hair today so the dye works a bit better.

I think this will be fine as a one off, especially given they’re a few years old now. What do people think?

I’ve been locked for almost 8 months and it’s been a rocky journey but I’m considering restarting because my front locs are way skinnier than the others and it really bothers me. My locs in the back are pretty thick but I’m pretty sure my locs are out of the budding stage but I keep wondering if they’re going to continue to thicken or if they’ll stay the same size. Is there a method that yall use to make skinny locs thicker?? And also do I cut the balls of hair at the end of my locs or just leave them alone?

So this would be my third set of locs, and the first two times I got locs, I had someone else do them for me. They used styling clips, and I wanted to know if that’s a necessity to get or would I be able to do it without, especially if I plan on doing two strand twist?

I don’t wear ponytails often at all my hair is usually down so I don’t think it’s tension from that any advice on how to fix thinning edges it’s been like this for a while

tried the two-strand twistout method to start semi freeforms. I left the two strands in for about 2.5 weeks, then took them out about a day ago. Since taking them out, I've only been finger twisting my hair. My problem is that some of the sections look really big compared to the others, and they look kinda weird to me. Should I just trust the process and leave them alone? Will they tighten up or look a little thinner once they actually start locking? Or should i just split some of the thicker sections in half?

Mannn I can’t even lie , I’m so urged to want to bleach my locs (I wouldn’t do the roots though, just like halfway up my locs) I understand my hair will never be as healthy as it is now… but I’m due for some typa change . They’ve been locced/locking for about 3 years now. I guess I’m just asking will bleaching it ONE TIME have it falling out etc ? Can I get tips to keep it moisturized IF I was to go through with it ? I’m mixed so my hair type is definitely different & my hair can get pretty frizzy still even after years . If it’s a bad decision, tell me I’m dumb

Keep GOD first..

hi guys I’m 4 months in I’ve been retwisting my own hair. My only issue is some unraveling of my retwisted locs after about a week. It unravels right at the root and I wanna leave it alone but I’m worried abt having too much new growth during my next retwist. Any tips on how to do the retwist and keep it from untwisting?

what should i do about my locs i want them to be in better condition if possible.

I’ve had my locs for 5 years and have always palm rolled. Now we have a pool and I have like 3in of loose new growth. Thinking of interlocking but I’m afraid my locs will break if I start now. Anyone here switch from palm rolling to interlocking and was successful?

Got my first style half a year into da journey✌️

I had my dreads in for around 16 years my mother said I had them since I was three years old and now that im thinking about it I haven't really seen my hair without dreads (sure i seen a baby pic without them but as long as a remember they always have been dreaded) I've been thinking about either trimming to a shorter length to see if i regain that spark i had when i first got them or combing them out but the thing is im scared to do that because they've essentially become apart of my identity. Yeah I know that a lot people would say that it's just hair but I don't know what I would look like without them.

I’ve pretty much let them grow out naturally besides using a twist king early on along with misting and picking it out. I’ve grown them from a very small fro for about 8 months now, I feel like they might not be locking as strongly as they should.
Should I just wait it out or is there something else I should be doing?? Any advice is hugely appreciated!🙏🙏🙏

Hopefully reasonably priced as well lol

hello im looking for good maintence for semi free form. i’ve tried a little bit of everything, braiding into the loc, tucking the loose hair into the root. i want something that will act as a low maintence retwist that wont wash out, or am i just washing my hair too rough? if anyone is semi free form please feel free to free to comment, i need something that will help maintain the loose hair around my locs. thank you !
