Thank you and yes I believe it will be cheaper if my hair is shorter. I have to check with my consultant, I meet with her on the first a few days prior to the install. I am OCD too and think the straight ends would bother me and since the back part of head is already natural might as well cut the front too so it doesnt look weird.
I also got a a "compliment" when I went out today. I was asked who did my crochet locs
Attempted my own retwist yesterday does not look anywhere near professional but I felt a lot better than when I did when I let someone else do it. This was my first time trying it myself. I had no clips a dryer or a comb so the results were very "organic" looking

Thank you! I don't like the fresh rewtisted look either BUT it gives room for my hair to swell and lasts a lot longer than mine probably will. i may or may not head to dallas in 2 weeks, if i go I'm getting my hair done. the loc education and knowledge in buffalo is seriously lacking. but most of these broads here are baldheaded roosters so I'm not shocked.
Thanks! I'm in month 10. One year will be May 3rd
everyone says they're growing fast but I swear some days it doesn't seem like it.

I'm glad you talked to her. Hopefully you'll see a difference once she eliminates her product.
Same when I was a loose natural.It shouldn't set you back since it's literally a low/no manipulation way you're wearing your hair and you're collecting almost every shed hair you have. Plus your hair and the size you started with is a good foundation. I've washed my hair once a month since starting them with no set backs.
Your dh is lyingYea I figure it will grow quickly since it's not shedding. I'm debating going back to a loose natural tho tbh. Dh is telling me that a lot of folks take multiple tries before they finally keep their locs.
if i go back to being a loose natural its going to be a boring wash n go that chews my ends up or a ponytail
Your dh is lying
lol j/k but seriously i think you should stick with it. but if you're teetering back and forth even after you're loc'd chances are you'll remove them. hey do what makes you happy! I have yet to feel the urge to take mine out even on my worst days. I came too far and this all boils back down to one thing...i hate doing my hair
@ dh lying. He was like I've seen so many videos of folks who try plenty of times. 
You know my co-worker who was loc'd for years told me the same thing when I mentioned loc'g. He warned me not to feel badly about not liking them the first or second time around. It's one of the reasons why it's taking me so long to start. This isn't something I want to try over and over again.Dh is telling me that a lot of folks take multiple tries before they finally keep their locs.
I have some length so I showed her an IG video of longer hair being comb coiled and she was like "no problem". I was so hyped! I finally settled on color which she will apply by next Friday I hope. Then once I'm comfortable with my hair condition after coloring I will loc. Until then I will continue to drool and drool and drool over loc pics.
I notice a lot of people who get them done over either DIY or went to someone who had no clue what they were doing. This reason is exactly why I got mine professionally done by one of the best in the loc game. I didn't want to start them myself and end up with something completely the opposite of what I wanted 10 months laterYou know my co-worker who was loc'd for years told me the same thing when I mentioned loc'g.

But I have finally found someone local who I watched comb coil another woman's hair and let her know she's loc'g mine
Wish he were in my area or at least visited. I've considered flying down to him.
Where are you located? I peeped the pics of locs that he likes on IG and majority are in northeast. I'm a stalker lol
LOL...that's a good strategy. I've stalked the likes of others but never thought about stalking him. I'm near Philly. There are PLENTY of 'locticians' out here, but I don't particularly care for the look of the locs in their IG pics. I know one personally but was SOOOOO unimipressed with the phone pics she showed me. I would see her almost daily, too, and she used to ask all the time, when are you coming by...ugh...incredibly awkward. I was set on going to locnationstan, but he's in DE and I'm not driving yet. So that brings me to the woman I'm absolutely set on now.

Thanks, and I know what you mean. I've always felt that lots of hair overpowered my tiny head/face, but everyone loves it on me. It's why I wore a barbered cut for so long. I figure after I loc, when I'm feeling like a 'poof', I'll just set a loose pony tail on top of my headEven though my experience with the person who started mine was unpleasant, I still feel like she did a good job. I just don't think it's my best look. I tried, but I think I like big hair on me better. I LOVEEE locks on other people but for whatever reason big hair frames my face better. So glad you finally found someone to do them!! Good luck!!

Time is creeping by I feel like I'm ready to have my sisterlocks installed already! I'm trying to convince my SO that they are going to look nice and look better over time. But he is not convinced and said he feels like locs don't look good on women. He is going to learn to love them darn it!
Your SO is a trip. Lol. Showing is better than telling. So you've showed him pics of fabulous loc girls and he said they didn't look good? My SO thinks they're sexy...well not mine but once they mature lmao
Oh yes I've showed him a bunch of pictures of women with sisterlocks that looked gorgeous! And he just wasn't feeling it
but I think he will learn to like mine, I hope 
View attachment 392667 View attachment 392669 I didn't do my retwist last week. I'll probably do it within the next few days. I'm two months away from my three year loc-anniversary.I'm almost armpit length at my nape!
