You're so beautiful your locs are awesome. The first stages are going to be trying but have patience. I've been growing my locs for 5 years. I'm very picky about the products I use: raw shea butter at rm temp is a great start, doo grow oil for moisture and smell including coconut oil. But you have to find what works for your hair personally. Any specific questions just ask me.

@zion4marchelle Aww. Thank you! I am actually in my 8th month right now and I am really starting to like them. I can do much more with them. I have decided that just using Black Castor oil and Ohm's Aloe Gel work best for me for retwisting.. You're hair is beautiful, by the way. Cute styles!

they look very very nice on you! I wish my intial set looked that nice on me ... ]=

girl stick with it! u will b glad u did b/c they will look sooooo nice on you!!! (they already do!!). My initial set was hella skinny too, but they have DEFINTELY thickened up!

[NappyGurl1979]

Thanks girl! I hope so, because they don't seem to be doing much. I have a few buds right now and I have one in the back that is doinf something totally diff than the rest, but other than yhan...nothing. I know that they growing bcuz I get hella new growth, but ironically, they seem to be getting shorter and shorter. Lol. I don't know. We'll just wait and see what happens. I would love to see pics of yours from beginning until now. How long have you been growing them?

[NappyGurl1979]

Ok. Cool! I can def tell a difference now that I've done another video.

Congrats on ya locs!

Have you tried Jamaican mango and lime locing gel? Or aloe vera gel? I interlock my new growth but I used the mango and lime products when I used to retwist. It never flaked on me. Your locs are young now but they WILL thicken up...just gotta be patient with them. Mine were skinny too in the beginning. Pls keep us posted on your journey.

[NappyGurl1979]

Thank you! I actually used to love Jamaican Mango and Lime products. I would use the spray on my braids and loose hair, and use the gel for my and my daughters' twists. Then, all of a sudden they changed the formula. It usded to be all natural, now the ingredient list has some things on it that I don't agree with. I did think about Aloe Vera gel, though.

how long did you grow your hair out before you decided to loc?

[zion4marchelle]

@NappyGurl1979 sounds good. I'll be posting a new slide by the end of the week. I curled my locs for the second time and they look great. Yeah have fun with your hair be healthy and stylish : P

Your locs look good...When they start budding they will thicken up and then they will become tighter when they lock up..Be patient. The beginning stages are trying so be encouraged is my best advice...

KEEP IT LOC'D

congrats on the journey. be patient. patient. and more patient. Ive been growing my locs for 11 months and this is my third set of locks. I really love my hair. Dont mess with it too much in the first couple of months

[swttart89]

Usually the hair on the nape of the neck/back of the head tends to be a little looser and locks last. I've had mine for a little over a year, and I love them more each day. Message me an e-mail address for u and I'll be sure to send some pics.
