Wow can’t believe it’s been a year already! It’s amazing how time flies!
I did “starter locs/dreads” on the 5th of January 2012 (yes, this post is over-due 
) & a year later I’m still loving my locs! They do require a loooot of patience (but hey Rome wasn’t built in a day, right?) and at one point I even wondered if they even were growing at all! It was until about 8 months loc’ed that my family and friends started noticing the increased length and not too long I also started to notice a difference .
This is how my locs looked, a year ago…
And this is how they look now….
I had just retwisted my locs… I also need a new hair colour now; this one is not fading away so nicely.
I must say they have really grown and it appears they have fully loc’ed now
I’m very happy with the way they’ve progressed and I’m looking forward to another year with locs! Woop woop!
beautiful!!
WOW!!! big ups to you girl
Thank you so much!
Congrats,Nangamso!!! Your patience has paid off in a big way. Your locs are ‘tight’! How about a deep red/brown colour? Dark like your roots! just an idea….
Thanks Eloise!
I’m actually considering a hazelnut brown colour this time around. Thanks for the recommendation.
