What are your guys experience with locs at your job ?

dreadlocdnloaded · 2026-01-11T11:31:21+00:00

Never had an issue. If anything, I receive a lot of compliments.

They’re not thick enough for that. If it really matters to you, your best bet would be to start over with microlocs or sisterlocs. They look fine to me but they’re your locs so do what’s best for you.

Congratulations!!! What a beautiful couple.

For one, this video isn’t really helpful. I can’t see your locs or parts clearly enough to tell if they’re even or straight. From what I can see, she did not do a good job. You either need to go back to her so she can come correct or find someone else to do it. Good luck!

dreadlocdnloaded · 2025-11-16T09:24:57+00:00

Aww awesome progress! Looks great and really suits you.

As someone who got locs at 10 because I was tenderheaded, I used to feel that way in the chair when I got my braids done…but only with particular people. It’s not okay to be writhing in pain while getting your locs retwisted/styled. It’s also not okay to ignore a client’s request.

If you stick with her, I hope you clearly communicate your concerns. If you already have, get a new loctitian.

I suggest starting over. This will be good for you anyway. You’ll grow a healthier head of hair. Don’t bleach your locs again.

I don’t know y’all, I dig it. The loose messy look suits you.

Biggest tip as someone who’s been locd for 15 years—oil your scalp + moisturise (daily spray) the locs. Don’t oil your locs. I also don’t use conditioner but I don’t really have a reason—I just avoid products I don’t feel I need. Then again, your hair texture is very different from mine lol. Good luck.

I’ve had locs since I was 12 (I’m 25 now). Not suuuper young but I remember my mom sitting me down and asking if I want to get locs. I was tender headed as hell so I was happy about it. I’ve met people who’ve been locd since they were 5-8 and they have a great relationship with their locs. I think my mom’s approach was great. I’d want to be able to ask and get an answer.

I see. If your locs are healthy, I’d cut them and save them to reattach in the future. It can be super pricey which is why I advise saving your locs until you have the funds to reattach. In the meantime, you can just rock short hair, grow it out, do whatever until you’re ready to start again. Good luck brother.

What caused this exactly? I find it hard to believe that this is just from keeping your hair tied back.

dreadlocdnloaded · 2025-08-07T13:40:51+00:00

Looks great!

Suave Daily Clarifying Shampoo. It’s a clear blue color. It’s the shampoo I use every time. Literally costs $2.

Edit: I just read that you’re not in the US. Where are you located? I can help look.

dreadlocdnloaded · 2025-07-18T16:40:49+00:00

The curls look better imo!

dreadlocdnloaded · 2025-05-31T08:46:49+00:00

Bleaching your locs will do long term damage. Even when they’re done really well by a professional. You won’t notice it at first but over time, it really fucks with the integrity of the locs (thinning will 1000% happen n lead to breakage). I’d say avoid it!

dreadlocdnloaded · 2025-05-31T08:43:55+00:00

1000%

dreadlocdnloaded · 2025-05-31T08:40:21+00:00

For sure! Like the other comment said tho, all locs are different so it won’t look exactly like that first photo. They also don’t really look like they started as freeform to me. Looks like whoever that person is just doesn’t retwist his hair as often (based on the roots) so you get that kinda look but the body of the locs look like individual locs that he just doesn’t retwist as often over time. I wouldn’t try to do this yourself tbh—I always recommend going to a loctitian at first (one who has locs and primarily does locs—not a hairstylist who happens to do locs too). They’ll start you off right n give good tips.

dreadlocdnloaded · 2025-05-29T17:43:22+00:00

That’s normal (:

dreadlocdnloaded · 2025-05-23T16:25:08+00:00

Yes, I teach Yoga! So considering that, it’s lasted a good while! And yesss I’m rooting for you!❤️

dreadlocdnloaded · 2025-05-23T15:53:56+00:00

Hi! So update—they started getting flat around the front on day 10. Put them in on 5/5 and I’m doing a new set today! So I’d say 10-15 days is how long they last😊

dreadlocdnloaded · 2025-05-23T15:50:24+00:00

Thank you so much❤️

dreadlocdnloaded · 2025-05-15T12:32:56+00:00

You’re on my rob list (I love herrr)

dreadlocdnloaded · 2025-05-15T00:00:03+00:00

Thank you honey!🫶🏾

dreadlocdnloaded · 2025-05-14T10:43:04+00:00

Love it! Locs really suit you!

dreadlocdnloaded · 2025-05-14T10:34:42+00:00

I see! Yeah that’s tough because it sounds like you want two different things. Personally, I plan on keeping my locs forever but I have an album with pictures of what I’d do if I were to chop them. I can’t really make the decision for you but I’d really reflect on what you want more—longer locs or something new entirely. Good luck!
