3 years of progress
Pictures from install day to present, coming up on 3 years. I have 335 braidlocs, I interlock every 6-9 weeks (with help from my wife), doing a 4 point rotation. Located in DC if you care. My locs were installed at Braids That Speak (IG: bellemicrolocs). So far it's been the best hair decision for me. I was a loose natural for 10+ years, did every style imaginable but was falling out of love with my hair because of the amount of time I spent detangling and not retaining length. My wash day went from a literal day to barely 20 minutes. I have dermatitis so I wash one to three times a week. I don't use oils, conditioners, or any styling products. I spritz a little rose water every once in a while. My hair is coarse and type 4, but I've been a dyed #27 and #30 since 17 (I'm 40 now). I air dry after washing. I sleep with satin scarf, no lint so far. **Pictures unfortunately uploaded out of order but you can probably figure it out
