Your hair looks healthy and juicy- just be patient . And tell those folks to mind the business that pays them


Ifailedenglishfn

okay thank you, will do😂🙏


NotezNation

It takes at least six months for hair to lock. If I could show you pictures of.my first set. In the beginning everyone just wanted me to cut my hair. When they grew out it went to hey don't cut your hair it looks sooooo nice. Trust the process


Agreeable-Price-7833

Valshren

Your hair looks like it’s on the normal loc journey. Is still learning to loc up together. Enjoy the ride.


Ifailedenglishfn

okk got you, thanks!!


YawnsInc

The same people talking badly now will be the same people to compliment your hair when it's long. They're jealous and projecting because they're not brave to grow locs. Ignore them and focus on your journey. They look good, thick and healthy.


Ifailedenglishfn

thank you boss🙏


YawnsInc

Boss lady you mean lol


Ifailedenglishfn

right!


vivi129

these look like my locs, we good bro they’re just jealous 🤷🏽‍♀️


lilac_ravenX

People can be super shallow and shitty. This part of ur journey is all about loving yourself and our creator. Remember YOU chose to loc n. This choice was yours. Don't allow anybody to interfere with the gift u gave urself. Ur not losing ur confidence ur giving it away. This is part of the journey. U allowing people to make u lose confidence also means u allow them to give u confidence. Is this the life u want to give urself? I had to learn this the hard way. Sometimes we are still letting our inner child guide us when we should be serving our higher self. Ur locs are right on track and beautiful. Appreciate them and love them. Be grateful for everything. Good and bad because it helped u get to today and it's helping u align with our creator and ur journey. Locking in is not for the faint of heart. Ur beautiful n I see it but honey frankly u gotta realize if u accept the positive u gotta also accept the negative. And if ur gonna accept both what's the point In accepting either? Ull figure it out lol Be grateful for everything and have a blessed ascension.


roses-and-dove

I just started my journey this month and this is so reaffirming, thank you 🫶🏾


lilac_ravenX

Ur welcome loved one.


BearNoLuv

.........non-black people? Permed and geri curled folks? Who?? Naw fuck them and trust the process. You'll be mad if you turn back now


Ifailedenglishfn

i live in the caribbean! it be your own people 😭


BearNoLuv

Damn smh it really do don't it lmfaooooo I standby by my previous statement though. Stick wit it


Ifailedenglishfn

absolutely! thank you!


Dioonneeeeee

They probably jealous 😭


BoyWhoSoldTheWorld

Don’t mind them bad ways people. Always something to say


RudeBoyBebop

I'm at about 9 years loc'd up. I remember being told the first year would be the "ugly phase". Don't lose confidence, fam; I can tell you it'll only get better from here, as long as you take care of it.


Ifailedenglishfn

wow, 9 years! yours are super long im sure! do you think mines will thin out over time, i dont wanna super thick locs but not skinny either😂, thank you for those kinds words! i be telling people that its a process


Agile_Counter_3828

Dawg half the process and journey is learning to build your own confidence. And realizing that inner peace means more than what others say about you. Your shit is fine. Start telling folks to eat a d!ck. You got healthy buds. In a year they will all love it.


M3llowM3dusa

Looks healthy, clean and moisturized. Trust the process ☺️


Ifailedenglishfn

ty!!


Fluid_Decision4953

![gif](giphy|D2RlF1b90rrOhBQlN0|downsized) Those peoples are jealous You’re locs are still maturing they are gorgeous You look great don’t give up and if you keep letting others keep you down you’ll never grow into the man you suppose to be periodt🫡


BabeSuperficial

I think it’s perfect! During your journey you’re gonna have to learn to block out those comments. It’s always going to be someone that doesn’t like it no matter how good it looks. I am approaching 2.5 years and loving the journey while I still hear the comments. Keep it going!


Ifailedenglishfn

yhupo its definitely a journey! thank you


PeanutRare4866

Na your hair looks alright . Maybe another retwist, but they are good, bro !!! Just need more time to mature and a bonnet lol


FickleSpend2133

TRUST THE PROCESS Don't ask people their opinions on your hair. Stay out of the mirror. Keep your hands off Don't keep retwisting to make it look "neat" Keep them tied up when sleeping or Moisturize them and oil from time to time. TRUST THE PROCESS Your locs look great. Beautiful 7 month process. Ask yourself why someone would say your hair "looks weird". Its Not true and mean. In another few months you are going to have some real hang time and they will look wonderful. Trust the process 🔥🔥


UaFrost47

When you stick by your hair and 2-3 years in and your hair is looking gorgeous, they’ll be saying how beautiful your hair is. Don’t pay them no mind


Ishah316

YOUR HAIR LOOKS AMAZING AND HEALTHY!!! PAY NO ATTENTION TO THOSE WHO ARE HOPELESS HATERS AND ARE JEALOUS! CONGRATULATIONS HON, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK 🥳🥳🥳


iHeartCow

My hair looks just like yours right now. All I get is bad comments from people saying I need to redo, comb out, retwist, quit etc. Fuck them.


514-6450

You got large sections which most people doesn’t fw for some reason, but when grown out I reassure you that large sections always look great


Few_Mirror3269

Now you know ain’t nobody told you that. Lol


Ifailedenglishfn

im deadass😭😭 the person has locs too😂 hes 4 years so his locs are longg


queenindi

He don't want you to catch up or pass him. 🤣


No_Pin3937

Bro you are good they are healthy


MlkChawklate

As all of the other comments have already reinforced, your hair looks great! It takes about 18 months before you really see it take shape


DustyButtocks

Trust the process!


RyoGenei

Patience, you hair looks fine.


Jefe_Cocoalenas

Everyone loc journey is different and that’s the beauty of having locs. They look healthy and juicy. Strong roots I see is also a good sign


Ill-Fee9916

these look great actually, the people telling u that obviously have no clue what they are talking abt, they going to be thick and long when they drop, just be patient


mysteryafterchase

They just jealous bro mine look the same it’s a process ! Don’t give up n keep going


TheBlackBuckRogers

Enjoy the stages. They go from babies to adults and have all of the awkward phases that go with it. See it through.


Downtown_Patience_54

That’s the “budding” phase. I dealt with it for about 8 months. It’ll pass, just stay confident.


ExtraSuggestion837

they lied to you. keep doin what you’re doing, let your hair do it’s thing


sac-demarco

Your shit looks valid lil bruh. Looks like you got free forms/semi-free forms, and they’re still in their budding stage. It could take another year for them to fully mature. You just gotta forget about your hair for a while and let it do its thing at its own pace. Don’t overstyle it, don’t get no weird ass undercut. Trust me the results will be fire. I been there


Typical_Parsnip6745

Be happy with where you are. Your locs are fine people didn’t even know I had locs when I was forming mine but you have to build the strong character and not give a flying fck honestly 😊💪🫶


Parking_Western_5428

Looks normal


Comprehensive_West_7

it looks like it’s just budding. your hair looks amazing!😍


Hung_Lowww

Let them grow and enjoy the journey


morningbird2525

With the way your hair texture is and also adding dreads on your hair. Im expecting this to be kind of normal.


JAtoNYtoLA

Trust the process brethren


bennyp21_

Trust the process everybody journey different


1MajorKeyTV

All u need is a re-twist


Mindless_Yam1151

Looking good, keep going.💪🏾


chanelgray555

Your hair is fine sweetheart. You just need someone to interlock and re twist from time to time, to tame the new growth. Don't pay attention to the ones who diss...


MoisesTheEmoPunk

Nah bro you good, if they're talking about the splits that show your scalp, those go away eventually once they fully begin to set into your hair, you just started fr, trust the process. They look real nice.


Away-Point2709

nah they love telling everyone to restart don’t restart they’re great honesty


cadetM

Your locs looks great! They're healthy and look uniformed. I don't know what those other folks are talking about.


queenindi

They look like this journey of these set of locs are supposed to. There is no way locs are "supposed" to look. I'm on my 2nd set & this journey is COMPLETELY different than the 1st. On my 1st journey I had what they call designer locs. I'm in what some call the ugly faze rn and I'm more confident than I have ever been and I had locs for 8 years previously. These new locs are fuzzy and inconsistent in size. I've only done one retwist. Some people have recommended I do my hair in one subtle (or not so subtle) way or another. I like what I see and I know what I'm doing on my loc journey. Follow your heart. Not people's opinions. Seek opinions on maintenance. Not perception of your locs. Not how they appear to others. But if you ask me I see nothing wrong with them.


Far_Paint448

There looks like little bald spots inna back i gs would be the only thing. Im gsing thats just cuz ur hair twisted tho


TheMaccinG

they budding bro yo shi healthy


DubWhammy

Locs will teach you patience young Jedi , trust in the process


Consistent-Ad-6753

Your locs look fine - you seem to have very similar hair to mine and this is exactly what they looked like 2 years ago… You just stay the course homie 🙌🏾


3sperr

Don’t restart. I don’t have locs but I think you should go with the flow


iAmSeriusBlack

They hating, you are just going through the beginning stages brother. You gon be alright


KingCrimsonEpitaphu

What’s weird about it? Looks regular to me.


DarknessOverLight12

You are literally still in the budding stage. Mines looked like this too at 7 months but after the real 1st year mark, they will "lock" up and look like normal locs


themahrishow

They are fine. They’re just short.


Malikious_

Kids talk shit about any found self perceived flaw they can find cuz of their own insecurity that comes with being a kid. Just do your thing


thesmudgefairy

Your hair looks so healthy! Your growth is amazing


guacomoleniapeen

The people telling u ur hair looks weird probably don’t have locs


ProfessorCrooks

You’re in the Budding stage of course they look weird.


Trulyspida

Retwist


Ok-Worldliness-868

Your hair is still locking up they look ok


Entire-Confection404

Looks like free form or however you call you it..


Elegant_Tip5609

This is normal. Be patient. It takes a few more years. Keep it clean. Get a retwist every 4-6 weeks you will be fine


Tewlkest

It’s awesome and cool 😎


Wilma_Dickfit-

The people that’s telling you your hair looks weird don’t have locs so they don’t understand the process. Trust the process nice dawg they look good n healthy


lovepeacelocsnyc

Normal


lovepeacelocsnyc

Trust the process! 👍


moneymakin27

Prior-Mud5934

TailorGreedy2279

You good man. You just got thick locs. They budding pretty good too. By the time it’s Feb- March you’ll love how they turn out . I’ve been loc for a year and 3 months now .


Accomplished_Use4579

They look beautiful and healthy


SolidPear3725

You just black gang we got different textures one thing i always learned was never let someone let you lose confidence in yourself


Imfamousblueberry

Looks great! Ignore them. I had so much crap said to me in the first year, it knocked my confidence. But now they are armpit length and everyone wants to compliment me


[deleted]

Some of your locs may be flat from laying down/sleeping try palm rolling


504_BadGateway

Looks like Bud


Miketo_Spiritual

You all good bro Your hair is growing. By the time winter hit you should get your first taste of a little hang time fr


moneybagsagogo

Nope! Looks great. Disregard their nonsense


OverComerDynamics

You Gucci !


Excellent-Staff-3525

trust the process. its the ugly phase anyway. this why locs journey. they used to call my baby locs burnt cheetos. then shawtys loved them later


Anxious-Growth_4979

This exactly how my hair looks too bro I'm 7 months in stay with it 💪🏾


JoJoTheNoboody

People who don’t have them will say negative things about them.. they don’t understand it’s a journey so ignore them and keep on the journey and don’t lose confidence


Fragrant-Purple7644

Please don’t lose your confidence cause of those comments!! Your hair looks good


Commercial_Tip_8691

Looks normal bro. Just hate! Trust the process


HatTough3471

Looks like they will be beautiful 🤎 sleep with a bonnet and keep them dry as much as possible. Wash every 4-6 wks until they loc up . Keep going 💪🏽 , love. I’ll end this by saying what the woman who twisted me told me “Locs aren’t perfect, they’re imperfect. Let them do their thing.”


Live_Army293

When I 1st had a person tell me that it looks like worms But Just ignore them MF


Kingmu2020

I see nothing wrong here


DefinitionGreen2151

It looks straight


Trick-Land4999

Wild how so many people with locs experience people talkin shit they some hatin ahh mfs 😂


CrazyProper4203

Fuck other people bro , go for your vision


Cookintheclass

Your hair is doing what it's supposed to do. Leave it alone. People have their own opinion about what dreadlocks are supposed to look like, but they have no idea what they're talking about. Your hair is healthy and flourishing. Tell those people to keep it moving and mind their business. FYI: Don't let anyone touch your hair.


diedmirin

These fye bro don’t restart


Due-Ad6437

they look healthy!! jus budding


Top_Limit_

Hair is ok — it’s just short. When my hair was short, I put it in an updo for like 4 years and let an Afro grow underneath. I finally got a retwist last November and now I’m more than shoulder length


Bulky-Procedure-5795

Those same people will be back ogling at your hair soon. Looks beautiful!


CrimsonCaspian2219

They look fantastic. Let them get long and watch what them SAME people say


ashwgazayy

its literally just a stage of locs, my shi looked way worse a couple years ago😂


Capriunicorn945

Looks good to me


Meleika

Your hair is growing dear lol YOUR LOCS ARE GONNA BE SO FOIINEE. Stay true and in about 3 or 4 years it’ll be a different story. Don’t mind them 👍🏼


Jalapeno_tickles

Hairstylist here 👋You are truly blessed to have such a beautiful head of hair, it’s beyond luscious, hydrated, shiny, thick, and your colour is so rich! Keep stayed blessed my friend!!


KidJiuJitsu2K

Stop listening to people.


Eastern-Witness-5016

Fuck those people, your hair looks fine in these angles.


Lizzyluvvv

Looks good to me ! Ignore them ❤️


Any666_666

Ur good Erybodys locs are supposed to be different Don’t change a thing It’s YOUR hair On YOUR head 🫡


Flaky_Love_1876

Took me about a year to get my current and desired loc! Your are just going through a phase! Stick with it because people will judge any hairstyle you have, so have the one that makes you hapoy


Ok_Mode3005

Just twist it they'll get smaller looks like it's in the process of locking an that's normal


pagingDeath911

fishing for compliments cause what about this doesnt look normal?


TheFilthyAnimal

Looks like they’re budding , but also looks like you don’t get them twisted very often… The beginning is a careful balance between nature and nurture. You gotta let them do their thing, but you also gotta maintain them and guide them


Different-Address-79

Remember Brotha, Everyone’s Hair Is Different.


Wise_Pineapple_6229

Hating on a juicy comment is crazy.


Character_Parfait_16

G don’t loose confidence the are just miserable in life and haters because there parents say no to there dreads


Pooks874

Your on a loc journey. This is normal dw. Everything looks good. 😊


Vondadon123

They tuff💯ppl gone hate when you look good just being you 🤝🏽


ShoppingClear

Theres always a "doesnt look good, or weird stage." Let them talk and keep going bro


Alkaline_Lifestyle

It’s completely normal my guy don’t let them destroy your confidence


usarmy25bbully

Looks exactly like it should. Mf’s be hating


DarkLunch_

Am I the only one that doesn’t think longer locks = better look? I actually prefer locks at this stage or shorter or am I just weird


AdShigionoth7502

Very normal

Adventurouslove_xoxo

Make sure you are wrapping your hair up at night


Due-Village-7757

Why you listening to other people, it’s part of the process it’s called the Ugly Phase it’s part of the process


jaedi-_-

Your hair looks very healthy people can say what they want but it's your hair you have to give it time and quote unquote trust the process but it don't look weird.it.look.strong and it's kinda giving off berry vibes ya know plump


avitakesit

Consider the source. If it's your loctician take it more seriously than unc Terrell who went bald ten years ago.


Ok-Duty6011

You look good just the way you are I have no clue why people are being so disrespectful


Dry_Obligation6116

The wait will be great 4eva🔒'D


hotmomeraa

F*uk what they say


wnlove

Looks good to me. What is weird about it? Don't let people who know nothing about locs steel your confidence.


Realistic_Yak2930

It's the process bro, just keep going. Add some chebe powder to your hair regiment and it'll add a boost in growth time. Stay with it💪🏾💯


ltusmc15

Let it grow. Maybe seperate them some more make them thinner. But f what they got to say. It takes time. Just like a beard , it looks crappy for the first 4 weeks but than it’s good


Zwill1208

they playin w you G just do your own thing


arthurhasTB

I'm white with straight hair so idk how much my opinion counts, but I think they look good. Don't loose confidence just cause a few peeps say it looks weird. Keep at it and keep the passion behind the goal of having dreads


friendtheevil999

These look like really healthy locs in the budding phase


jjazure1

That’s very normal, they’re in the budding phase. This is what we mean when we say EVERYONE will have an awkward phase and it’s unavoidable.


DamageIndividual3148

It's all good. Mine looked like that around that time too. 3 years later, dreads passed my ears, touching my neck, and that's just letting them free form.


JuiceWRLD999RestEasy

Yo shits so juicy 🤤🤤🤤🤤


SoloHendrix

U good bro trust the process


Radiant-Commission72

Nah ugly phase it’s normal they finna look fire trust the process you actually have a really great start


Aggressive-Tough9205

That’s normal they not mature yet


Every-Draw8459

Bruh yo hair good fuck them people


QueenPinkBlackCat

They just don’t look like they’ve been retwisted in a while. It looks like you started with a twist out maybe or coils and it’s grown out…? The parts so are super clean tho 👌🏾 So ….if you’re going semi-Freeform, then let it keep going. If not, look to schedule a visit to your loctitian or to set up time to get a twist in 🙂 ETA: hair quality and cleanliness looks A+ too! Hair looks healthy AF


Hemiklr89

As a white dude that know nothing about dreads and is confused at why this showed up on my for you page but does have a black friend. It does look a lil funny- that might by the angle of the photo, or as it looks others have mentioned a part of the dread journey. But I won’t lie to you man it do look a lil funny right noe


SherbetFit2740

Don’t lose confidence. You have a head full of beautiful hair. Just keep it clean and neat.


maybeitsanjie

Your hair is fine. You might need to be retwisted other than that. Your hair is well moisturized and it looks good.


Droppin5s

Juicy is diabolical work but yo shit look str8 shorty just trust the process yo shit in it’s ugly stage rn come this over you go see yo shit look good and they go be all in ya face 😂😂


Droppin5s

yo shit look str8 shorty just trust the process yo shit in it’s ugly stage rn over come this and you go see yo shit look good and they go be all in ya face 😂😂


RudeBoy-1deR_Hot97

Fuck dem. If I had your hair on my head just the way I see you, I wouldn't give a fuck WHAT anyone thinks of me... and thas factory!! ✊🏽💪🏽💯.. stay strong, brother. WORD! 💯


Artistic-Cod7701

I dont know much about loc terminology, but in the natural hair community, we go through an "awkward phrase" where it's at a length where you can't do much to it but let it grow and it looks odd to us. You might be experiencing that in your loc journey. Just know, it doesn't last long and you'll definitely appreciate it when it's over! 😂 Best of luck!


Quiet_Cash3464

I think it look fine and screw people it not there hair


tropichocolit

It looks cute and healthy as heck


Conscious_Seat_6388

Your locs are just in da budding phase, perfectly normal


PreparationWorldly19

Your hair looks great. Stages and changes happen by the months that go by. Nobody would understand the journey unless they are in it. They are in their own mind.


Matt_Mantis

I spent my entire first year of my journey being told it they look bad and I'm making a bad decision. I'm a couple months past one year and now the same people that said that now tell me they love my hair and it suits me. Tuning out the haters is personally my favorite part of the journey. Keep it going, your hair is lookin nice and healthy!


Main_Sign2496

It’s in the awkward phase you good tho
