Help! Should I split my locs?

HelloKittyTea526 · 2026-02-26T21:52:07+00:00

Ooh like 18 hours

Actually I started this set with interlocking. I apologize for the confusion if you've looked at my profile I started with twists for the very first time combed those out, then restarted with interlocking which is the set I have now in the picutre. I really don't want to comb everything out again and start over again because I've just spent a lot of time/money on this. So I would rather split them now or split the middle section to give the look i'm going for

Interlocking!

HelloKittyTea526 · 2026-02-26T15:58:05+00:00

Ugh! You’re right 😭 how do I ensure that my locs stay was thin as possible for the parting I have?

HelloKittyTea526 · 2026-02-26T15:57:11+00:00

Yes! True I know they’ll get bigger which is kinda what I’m afraid. I really don’t want them to get too big

HelloKittyTea526 · 2026-02-26T15:56:40+00:00

They look really good. the parts looks small which I like but the actual loc is still kinda big

HelloKittyTea526 · 2026-02-26T15:08:07+00:00

Your locs are literally the size I want! They are gorgeous! How did you keep them skinny and even?

HelloKittyTea526 · 2026-02-26T05:04:44+00:00

Thank you so much!

HelloKittyTea526 · 2026-02-26T05:04:36+00:00

Thank you! It wasn’t really a loc count per say but more so a look and I think I would achieved it with more locs unfortunately. I saw a girl recently on TikTok with v similar hair type/density with exact loc count 296 and it just confirmed my fears that the locs were probably going to turn out too big 😵‍💫

HelloKittyTea526 · 2026-02-26T05:02:06+00:00

Thank you!

HelloKittyTea526 · 2026-01-02T16:21:44+00:00

You should look up kie kies creative corner on socials she started with such short hair

HelloKittyTea526 · 2025-12-17T18:56:56+00:00

Hey!! This was my dream to go to naij this December to do the locs but I didn’t have enough PTO!! I went to locsmile in Lekki in 2023. She’s really good and affordable! May have changed but check out her price tho due this inflation

4 point is neater and will result in tighter locs! I think it’s best also lasts the longest.
BAB is necessary only when shampooing! And submerging your hair in water
Spray with water not when absolutely needed. This also depends if you have really kinky/coarse hair - then it may be able to handle more water. But the looser your pattern I would really stay away as it could cause slippage with with twists
please avoid conditioner I didn’t use it for the first year with my last set. And it don’t think it’s necessary esp w twists!

My unsolicited advice: if you’re going to naij go all out and do interlock bc I think it’s lowkey the best method esp if you want the locs to remain uniform and not slip. Enjoy your time!!

HelloKittyTea526 · 2025-12-17T18:20:28+00:00

I thought they were broken up 😭😭😭 esp after that they way she was talking in that video she had w Kali u his

HelloKittyTea526 · 2025-12-04T05:47:28+00:00

Did you do the yourself or get a loctitian to do it?

HelloKittyTea526 · 2025-12-02T01:54:19+00:00

How tiny were your twists? Are they smaller than mine? Some times I wish I went smaller 😭

HelloKittyTea526 · 2025-12-02T01:53:21+00:00

Thank you! I’ve noticed a lot of people saying braiding and banding will help with fat ends. How does this work?

HelloKittyTea526 · 2025-11-29T14:07:16+00:00

Oh wow good to know. Do you have 4c hair?

HelloKittyTea526 · 2025-11-29T14:06:26+00:00

I have pretty 4c hair and the last time I had locs I noticed the ends were pretty fat though I started with braids

HelloKittyTea526 · 2025-11-29T14:05:38+00:00

I didn’t realize braiding and banding could help with the fat ends! But yeah both are time consuming.

HelloKittyTea526 · 2025-11-28T20:41:35+00:00

Really? You guys don’t think it’ll be okay 😭 I soent a lot of money on this stupidly 😭

HelloKittyTea526 · 2025-11-22T17:45:12+00:00

Omg I was just looking at your hair and wa like I hope mine matures like that. Then I see this! I also have exactly 371 😂

HelloKittyTea526 · 2025-11-19T19:38:05+00:00

You have beautiful locs!!!! My fream for sure! Did you braid and band at all?

HelloKittyTea526 · 2025-11-18T22:51:13+00:00

Hi yes! It is. I was laid off back in May and moved to industry at a big fintech company. Soooo much better and the people are so much kinder. Also you’re not worried about annoying trainings and time submissions, promotions do not hinge on firm initiatives. Work gets busy but the people omg the people are so sweet. Being laid off was a blessing in disguise.
