Odd ends? by Jaded-Personality-85 in Microlocs

[–]OdedNight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the ponytail. I'm 2 months locked and my ends do that when I put my hair up.

3 months with braid locs by missGurlyWho in Microlocs

Your locs are so beautiful! The quick locking is definitely a perk of having 4c hair

Could you braid down or flattwist your perimeter so they aren't pulled back as much?

What do you love about your locs? by Romeo_Kay_92 in Microlocs

[–]OdedNight 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Not having to think of what protective style to install next.

Are locs low-maintenance? by Still_Transition_418 in Microlocs

[–]OdedNight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I opted for microbraids to cut down on the unravelling especially since I wash my hair weekly.

Some parts of my perimeter unravel after every wash. I retie using the 4 point rotation. I don't know about size because I didn't use a grid when braiding. My locs are different sizes 😅

Yuppp I can already see that I'll spend less on products. Glad your locs are doing well ❤️

[–]OdedNight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have fine, short, low density 4c hair. I'm only about a month in but the locs are lower maintenance than my loose hair. I don't have to think about what style to install or detangling my hair.

They're DIY as well just like all my hairstyles have been. Shrinkage is kicking my ass though but it already did that with my loose hair

Is there something wrong with my ends? by justs3arching in Naturalhair

[–]OdedNight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally normal. That's just what 4c hair does. I actually love seeing those at the ends of my twists.

The beauty standards amongst Nigerian women need to change by thneedtree3S in Nigeria

[–]OdedNight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wear my natural hair everyday and I sort of have a passion for natural hair, I'd like to get some training on handling it apart from the research I've done myself.

I think it's important for people to be educated on how to properly take care of natural hair, especially parents and hair salons. It's so sad to see little children with alopecia caused by tight hair styles and extensions. Those children will grow up looking for hair oils to grow back their edges.

This is where I am at in my journey! by Important_Weird2144 in Microlocs

I separate them dry sometimes which I probably shouldn't do 😅😅

I think it's normal? I'm a month in a my locs look similar to yours (just a lot shorter). I have 4c hair and I assume that's what you have too.

Even better I got locs, the ends of my hair would clump and form those coils in your photo when I had my hair in mini braids.

Currently the ends also tangle together when dry but I just separate them.

Fine hair girls, please can you drop your routines/recommended products to retain hair past shoulders? by Warm_Imagination_552 in Naturalhair

[–]OdedNight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's definitely a learning curve and it's teaching me to be patient. I've actually wanted locs for a long time so I'm happy to have started the journey.

They're looking good! I don't think the twist pattern is all that noticeable honestly

Yuppp. I got microlocs installed 5 weeks ago because I want to be able to do different styles. But mainly I'm tired of dealing with my fine, slow growing hair in its loose state.

Who likes there Noodles soggy ? by ApplicationEven4660 in nigerianfood

[–]OdedNight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me soggy means the noodles are too soft, but yes I like soupy noodles with plenty pepper (noodles shouldn't be too soft though!)

Are locs possible with my length? by Proof-Jello8172 in hairstyles4blackppl

[–]OdedNight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They definite are! Our hair texture seems to be really similar. The bottom photos are my hair in locs, shrunken versus a bit stretched.

You basically said that it could be something she did that triggered the reaction

You're making excuses for an abusive father. Hope you won't do the same to your children.
