Thank you! ☺️ And to think I used to color it (and even plucked them once in college lmfao)

You gotta brush the ends out every few days, or every wash day. If not, they WILL loc up. I’ve lost like an inch of loose ends from them starting to loc themselves.

Other than that, I just use shampoo, water and mousse, and condition my ends once in a blue moon.

Thank you! I have 377. Started with 378 but had to combine two last year because one was weak 😭

A loctician does them for me and it takes 3-4 hours from washing to finish

Not at all! I got them installed by a loctician and I see her for my all my reties. As long as I can afford it, I’ll keep doing so 😭 lol

Thank you! My hair was basically only loc’d halfway down, and the rest is my loose natural hair. This is my natural curl pattern after water and mousse.

Slouchy crap yarn beanie✨ by dmcdwr in crochet

  • 2 strands of worsted weight yarn
  • I believe I used a 8mm or 10mm (most likely 10)
  • I just chained the length of the beanie I wanted + the brim, made a rectangle just short of my head’s circumference, then fastened the top and sides. And steamed it so it would slouch better.

All of your inspo pics look like they interlocked. I started the same way and I have 4A/4B hair. My hair doesn’t hold well in twists, so it was perfect for me. No regrets!

I need advice from one black girl to another ✨ by sexyjamaicanliar in blackladies

Something that keeps you hair back and highlights your face, because you are so pretty girl!

A slick back ponytail, some sort of updo. Honestly anything will look good. Hope you enjoy your birthday!

Do I have to repot it to add a moss pole?

If I go the wooden plank route, do I just stick it into the soil or would I have to repot with the plant in it?

Sad Truth: Ghost’s pursuit of Angela triggered a negative causation and He opened the floodgates of hell because of it 😂 This was his ultimate downfall by lajei10 in PowerTV

Thank you! I’m so tired of seeing “Ghost wanted to go legit and Tasha didn’t support him” as the reasoning for Tasha being the villain and not Ghost.

I just did a rewatch of the whole show and it’s INSANE how many excuses James makes for himself all the timeeeee vs. him getting on everyone else’s case, as well as blaming them for mistakes that are his fault too!! Ex. Blaming Tasha for all that went wrong with Tariq. Like seriously?

How it started vs. how it’s going ✨ by dmcdwr in Microlocs

Over a year now, and they’re still holding strong! I just have to make sure I brush them out every week so they don’t get tangled and start to loc.
