I got mine crotchet like 1 month ago, and everything is fine, it looks nice too. She wasn’t lying when she said it’s tedious and Time consuming, I was in the salon for like 3 hours, and it hurt. (Not a lot. Bearable pain, like little scratches)

Im trying to do it all on my own. My loc stylist that i thought was going to do my hair never messaged me back and so i started learning on my own. I am doing this method and i just started on my hair (im correcting all the firzzies and puffy spots. So far they look good and look longer 😎. But i did make a few of the mistakes that you mentioned so yah my hair may or may not be damaged after this lol

Good job!!! Look, no one is perfect and you're learning how to take care of your own hair, which will save you a lot of money. Also there's just something about nurturing,repairing and creating your own locs that make the journey that much sweeter. When ppl come up and complement your locs, that's all you! You did that! No one is going to care for your hair like you do because it isn't theirs. Tbh I'd rather make a mistake on my own hair than have someone else do it. That's why I retwist,crochet, maintain, repair,and dye my own. I feel like I have this deep bond with my locs and I understand what they need when they need it. I only got this far because I learned my locs. Having someone in my head would have interfered with that (just my opinion) I made mistakes with my babies here and there as well.I even lit my loc on fire by accident one time!!(I lost at least half of it)😂 I applaud you for taking this on. Of course research is your friend and if you ever have any questions, you can ask me. I'll be 3 years loc'd in a few days so I know a little sumin sumin☺. And if you end up getting your hair done by a stylist, guess what? That's absolutely ok 👌🏾 Because everyone's journey is different and that's the beauty of locs. No set in the world is identical. I'm sorry for yapping so much.ill stop now😖 I hope you enjoy your journey ✌🏾❤

Yes they do but the amount of time it takes for that to happen depends on how the were crocheted and the persons hair texture. My sister in laws locs gradually softened each month and by month 5 weren't stiff at all. she is white with a slight wave in her hair. My hair took 2.5-3 months to softened up and I have extremely kinky hair. From my experience It depends on thoes two variables. ✌🏾❤️

@imluvinlocs

This might not work for everyone but I tried this on two different types of hair textures (straight and kinky) and it significantly decreased the stiffness. I washed the hair and applied either conditioner or oil (depends on what you perfer) and just let the hair air dry. Hopefully this helps some✌🏾❤ P.s if using conditioner please make sure you thoroughly wash it all out. Not doing so could result in build up.

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear thats happening to you. Are they instant locs with added hair or is it just your hair? After washing your crocheted hair the locs may slightly frizz but they shouldn't unravel. If they are starting to come Undone they may need to be crocheted a little bit more to lock the hairs in place.

Oh okay I see. I don't mean this in a negative way at all but it doesn't matter what hair type you have (pin straight or 4c) if done correctly they shouldn't be coming out like that. You should be able to wash your hair right after you get them done and only have some frizz. Frizz is normal and is part of the locking process rather you naturally let your hair loc or you use the "instant" method. Once again I'm in no way trying to come off as rude. I just do not believe the stylist crocheted them enough and that is why some are coming undone.
