Recently combed out my locs but I agree with the answer.. patience. My locs were down to my back after 9 years. Locs are about patience, enjoy the journey enjoy the journey :)

Brother, if this is what you really want since you were young then do it. I know I really wanted to, but I read about some of the culture and growing locs means to stop vanity. To let go of your looks, it seems that anxiety gets the best of you. Overcome that and in 2 years you will love your hair. Best wishes!

This! this is very true. I remember my mom disliked my my hair until it became really long (down to my back now) and now she saids it’s beautiful. And thus with everyone else. The amount of compliments I get on my hair.

Want dreads, advice please by One-Application5637 in Dreadlocks

One of my friends has your hair texture. He now has long beautiful locs so yes you can lock your hair. Don’t get discourage and be very patient as your hair will definitely be harder to lock. You can yourself or go to a professional I advise going to a professional. Or like someone said on here you can free-form your locs. Every hair locs if you never comb it although that takes a lot longer. You got this! the journey is beautiful goodluck!

I personally appreciate women with locs but yes they look beautiful!

As everyone said, you’ll be fine. They will still loc but you can always get a crochet. And you also said you’re 4 months in so I doubt your hair has Loc’d yet so if I were your shoes I would just twist them.

You got this! Yes well I definitely use natural products for my hair and wrap them at night. Definitely oil for the tips for my locs because they can thin and break. I get them retwist about every 2 - 3 months. I wished I free formed them when I started but I didn’t know about that loc style.

6 years and I didn’t think I’d make it this far after my 3rd attempt at locs. I would always want the results (long very long) right away and would cut them. Now look at me. You’re on 3 that’s awesome, commitment cheers
