I forgot to add they normally expand to the size of the box on your scalp so that's one way to predict their final size

1 April. Also looking for a new consultant.
Husband loves them. Very few people can tell I have Sisterlocks- even folks with Sisterlocks themselves. They look like my normal curly hair or straw curls.

Ok so my first set of starter locs completely unraveled and I had to get my whole head retwisted.
I seriously was like F that and almost canceled my appointment and said to hell with locs. Man I was PISSED. But I went anyway, changed my regimen, and this second time around I'm seeing a HUGE improvement
.
So for my hair:
Rule #1 do not wash until the next appointment. I'll leave wash day to the professionals until they mature and officially loc. My hair swells to about twice the size of my dry locs, even with using the stocking cap method. Disaster.
Rule #2 schedule re-twist no more than 3 weeks apart. 4 weeks is not going to work out and that 1 crucial week also makes a difference.
Rule #3 scarves are my friend....like BFFs lol I was tying my hair up for bed...but that's not enough. I had to incorporate them into day time looks too.
Pics below are at the same time progression. 2 weeks on the first set of starter locs vs the second set (also 2 weeks in) ...night and day difference. This is a huge learning process but I'm glad I'm figuring it out. Have yet to use gel or any butter/creams. He only used the setting lotion concoction to retwist my hair. All I've used at home was my collection of Wen Oils and rose water mist here and there. The lavender Mint oil is my fav to use. Next retwist is June 24th.

I believe he's gay.Too bad because he's fine!
You met him in person? His gorgeousness threw me off guard up close. His skin is like butter.

I've never met him but I've seen many of his YouTube videos and he gives off a gay vibe.

How many locs do y'all have? I'm guestimating 125-140 for my head

I believe I have about 90-100. Sometimes I wish I had thinner Locs.
Omg girl you can't tell?
I know, I know. Lol. I was leaning towards gay but thought maybe, just maybe metrosexual.

2 months on the 27th. I don't think I will cut the perm ends off since I'm losing the braid pattern already, and they're starting to swell up.
What a difference each locking method has, it's crazy, and fascinating.

Now that im looking at pics I like thicker locs. But I'm happy about the size they are going to be. This pic on IG had me drooling:

I like those!
Do you think your locs will turn out to about this size?

I'm guessing my hair will turn out similar to this young lady I follow. We have very similar hair texture, curl pattern, and thickness (she told me hers unraveled a lot at the beginning too) and have around the same amount of locs

My first set of locs was thick like this. I loved it!
i dont want them that thick now though.

Yeah I love the way they look but I know they're heavy as hell as they get longer and wreck havoc on the edges.

Now that i think about it, my edges were in tact. They just felt heavy after awhile, and when They were wet.

I think the first couple of pages in the thread has everybody putting how they started their locs, pics, and should have the info you're looking for
