Three Year Loc Journey

Made three years loc'd October 24th!! I went through several changes from the second year to the third. First, I decided to combine all of my locs. Over the last couple of years, I have been combining several here and there...and finally just decided to do them all. I did not anticipate how narrow my locs would get after maturing (this is one thing you can definitely consider when deciding on the size). Turns out I actually loved the size they were while they were budding and swelling, but once they started to compact they were skinnier than I liked. I see why so many start over because of size, but I really did not want to start all the way over, lol. So now my locs have multiple ends. I may trim along the way, or get it cut into a cute loc bob in a few years =). Next, speaking of starting over, I decided to comb out my back row, due to extreme lint buildup (starts at 3:19). Those in the back were already super thin and pretty much looked white in some areas due to lint...so it was a pretty easy decision to start over and make those a larger size. Nonetheless, I still love it here, and it is still the best hair decision. Love my low maintenance loc life!

What's the reason you decided to combine all your locs? Faster retwist?

[@LocGirlTee8807]

It started off with some thinning around my perimeter...those were combined first. Then I noticed once my locs matured more, they were thinner than I liked...and due to fear of more thinning in the future, I decided to combine them all. The faster retwist is definitely a perk!

@@LocGirlTee8807 I had medium to thick locks. I loved your volume though!

[@LocGirlTee8807]

@@Ronldbx6 thank you. I loved the volume it had when they were puffing and swelling :)

[@empresslucien9513]

How many locs do u have?

[@LocGirlTee8807]

I've never counted them

[@sashanascarlett8910]

Hi, beautiful! What’s your Loc count?

[@LocGirlTee8807]

Hello! I've actually never counted my locs! Since I've combined so many, I would estimate I have about 120 or 130 ish

[@sashanascarlett8910]

@@LocGirlTee8807 Thank you! I am amazed at your combination over the years. I also love your volume. I know I shouldn’t Loc crush but I am secretly wishing mine turn out as versatile as yours.

[@LocGirlTee8807]

@@sashanascarlett8910 awww thank you! Once they matured, they were a lot smaller than I anticipated. The multiple ends on each loc help with the volume.

Thank you for watching!

That oil will cause lint/debris and dryness every time.

[@LocGirlTee8807]

I barely oil my hair anymore! When I do, it's as little as possible.
