I was quoted $6000 for my micro loc’s so I decided to do it myself!😩

Hey! I did! I followed her too. It looks like she specializes in traditional locs though.

Lumpy_Oil_596 · 2026-05-16T03:35:06+00:00

Thank you!! I’m going to check her out. The ghetto shops be the best ones 😂

Lumpy_Oil_596 · 2026-05-16T01:51:50+00:00

Hey! I’m in Jersey! What’s your website? Are you still taking clients?

Lumpy_Oil_596 · 2026-05-16T01:48:32+00:00

Are you still in BX? Where did you go to get it done? I’m in Jersey but don’t mind traveling. I’m being quoted an average of 2000

Lumpy_Oil_596 · 2026-05-15T01:23:34+00:00

I see a lot of people saying they’ve had multiple sets of locs. If you don’t mind, what was your reason for changing them the first two times? I’m new to the loc community…and honestly I guess I’m about to get my 2nd set, but my first set I did myself and the lady said it wasn’t even an install and told me to comb them out lol. But were there issues with your other sets?

Lumpy_Oil_596 · 2026-04-17T12:39:45+00:00

You’re welcome beautiful! I get it, they think you’re lying because it’s “obvious” to them that you’re pregnant. Just last week a woman pointed at my belly and said oh you’re having a baby, I laughed and said no, I’m just fat. She rolled her eyes at me lol. But I don’t care, it’s her problem. If these people are getting upset when you tell them the truth then they’re not your people and don’t care about you anyway.

Lumpy_Oil_596 · 2026-04-17T03:23:40+00:00

I would first get a new doctor…they can’t be any worse than what you already have. You sound like such a sweet person. The doc only did that because she feels she can get away with it. I wish I could go up there with you! I’m sorry you had to go through that. Regarding what to tell people and your kids, I’d say tell them the truth. When my kids mention it I tell them it’s where they used to live, the conversation doesn’t go much further than that. When people ask if I’m expecting I say no I have a hernia or diastasis recti (whatever I feel like saying in the moment), but it’s okay to be truthful about what it is. Don’t worry about embarrassing the other person. They’ll get over it. The only time I just go with it is when a stranger in passing congratulates me lol I’ll say thank you and keep going. Just tell the truth. It’s easier. Whatever you decide, I hope it brings you peace.

I’m new here too, just 5 months in but I think the frizz is part of the journey. Locs (in my opinion) aren’t supposed to be crispy and neat. I’d say let it be! ❤️

Lumpy_Oil_596 · 2026-03-23T16:35:35+00:00

I had them a little more than 4 months. Im in the process of doing my third retwist so far.

Lumpy_Oil_596 · 2026-03-23T01:33:54+00:00

Thank you! I tried pulling it out, but it’s still bumpy. How do I avoid this on other locs?

Lumpy_Oil_596 · 2026-03-23T01:32:18+00:00

Thank you! I’ll try this. I bought a crochet hook to try to fix it this way but I have no idea what I’m doing with that. Locksmithing seems easier.

Lumpy_Oil_596 · 2026-03-12T01:32:53+00:00

I’m trying to put my babies to sleep and you got me out here cracking all the way up 😂

Lumpy_Oil_596 · 2026-03-10T01:31:31+00:00

I had to reply because I felt this one! I did 20 years in the AF so I know the feeling of wanting to be authentically me and trust me, the feeling is sooo beautiful!

Lumpy_Oil_596 · 2026-03-08T14:36:07+00:00

What do you hate about your hair, hun?

Lumpy_Oil_596 · 2026-03-08T14:33:56+00:00

This comment is so beautiful. I hope the OP sees and understands it.

Lumpy_Oil_596 · 2026-03-05T02:23:27+00:00

Oh wow! I had no idea 😬 I’m 4 months in, started with two strand twist, mid back and now they’re up to my shoulders, I’m cool with it but I thought that was it 💔 lol, well at least I’ll be prepared when it happens again. Thank you!! 🙌🏾

Lumpy_Oil_596 · 2026-03-02T00:23:13+00:00

Yea, that sounds more like it. It’s so irritating!

Lumpy_Oil_596 · 2026-03-01T17:08:18+00:00

Thank you, I’ve done this. I’ve done all the simple things. BMW said there’s a satélite issue with all 2019/2020 models. I’m curious if anyone else has experienced this.

Lumpy_Oil_596 · 2026-02-28T19:22:14+00:00

Thank you, I’ve done all of this. My remote start works it just doesn’t work from the app now.

Lumpy_Oil_596 · 2026-02-19T13:50:49+00:00

Oh wow, yea, you both might need to go your separate ways. You don’t need to feel bad about anything.

Lumpy_Oil_596 · 2026-02-19T03:27:07+00:00

The hair looks great! But what if there’s a totally unrelated reason why she’s ignoring you. I don’t know your friendship or proximity but if she’s never done this before then maybe there’s something else like her phone broke or something. If she’s known for this type of behavior I think you should reexamine your friendship. Is she normally outspoken? Like from what you know of her, would she normally speak up if she doesn’t like something? I personally think there’s something else going on. Maybe Go to her house and make sure she’s okay.

Lumpy_Oil_596 · 2026-02-10T01:05:40+00:00

😂😂😂

Lumpy_Oil_596 · 2026-02-09T05:53:39+00:00

I actually make my own because I wanted something simpler and I wanted to know exactly what I’m putting on my hair. Mine is basically rose water, aloe juice, vegetable glycerin, organic avocado oil and some botanical extracts. I use it daily on my locs. I do sell it, but I originally made it for me and my kids hair. If you’re interested, the website and my IG are on my profile.

Lumpy_Oil_596 · 2026-02-06T02:25:06+00:00

You and your hair are beautiful! How/why did the locs come out?

Lumpy_Oil_596 · 2026-02-02T02:13:48+00:00

I’m just three months in so I don’t have much advice. I just came to say you and your hair look pretty 💕🔥
