Braid Loc Journey Replying to @bluebeauty478 Did you start your locs with braids? March 2022 1.5 years

Transcript

So, yes, I have three year old braid locs. Even if they are medium sized. This is me on day one. I look raggedy. Just look at the braids. Just look at the braids. I just did 55 braids in my hair at the time and kept them in. Another one. This is me a couple months locked. My hair was very, very short and the braids were very much still there. I dyed my locks red like a year and a half and probably not the best idea. But, bro, these are the worst pictures. But look, these are my braids. They're a little bit longer. They're past my shoulders at this point. And then this is my longest lock. Um, and they're very much still braids. Here's another one. This is March 2022, 1.5 years. This is me officially two years locked last September or August. I had just bleached my locks for the first time, but you can still see the braids and they're so much shorter. So yeah, this is me three years later. My braid locks are three years old now. Um, I've only bleached them twice now and you can still see the braids on some of them, but I think they're really cute.
