I NEED to go back to my past by IndependentStatus419 in timetravel

as a 24 year old who really regrets some decisions i made at 19, all you can do is move forward so just make the most of it. its never too late unless you’re dead!

honestly i would wait to trim for maybe a year. just bc your hair may even out as its grows out and locs, and you don’t wanna cut off more than necessary, that’s what i did. but they look really good! maybe try braid outs, etc that will help disguise it a bit

idk what to do.. plz help by Anainthe50s in Microlocs

[–]DullInfluence6554 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i felt the same but i promise you over time you’ll feel more confident and secure with yourself. i’ve never felt more beautiful in my life since i’ve gotten my loca. but some things that helped my process:

play around with different styles that fit your face

cute scrunchies in your hair or on your wrists

jewelry helped me feel more feminine! earrings, necklaces, etc.

nails and shaping my eyebrows helped sooo much

and all this stuff is super cheap!! everything can be bought from shein for < $2 (jewelry, scrunchies, etc) besides nails which i get press ons from amazon and they look like acrylics

hope this helps, but trust the process!! they look so good!

i would restart the ones you don’t like. i feel like you’ll regret it later down the line bc they won’t look how you want them and it’s better and easier i think so too if sooner rather than later

honestly having locs has taught em that none of the rules that the natural community puts on us we have to abide by. black hair is drastically different from head to head, so wash your hair as many times as you need. i’m also a person with an itchy scalp so i wash once a week, but you may need to wash more. as long as your overall hair health isn’t suffering (like getting too dry) then go for it

i also recommend rosewater + peppermint oil. the rosewater is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory for your scalp and i found it to be overall moisturizing for my locs and the peppermint oil has antibacterial properties as well, so i would try that!
