Baby Loc Question about Thickness
Hey guys!! So I loc'ed on November 27 and so far everything is going great... I think. I went for my first retwist appointment last week. It's been a few days and even though my loctician said this is normal I just want to ask the boards' opinion. So my baby locs are thin where she retwisted and thin at the ends but in the middle they're kinda clumped and much thicker. Is this the norm? Also is that the thickness my locs are going to eventually be? Am I overthinking things??? Ah lol. I wish I had someone loc'ed who I knew and could ask these questions lololol.

Hello,
I definitely think you are over thinking it (which is ALSO normal, btw) Your baby locs are thin where the roots are twisted, because it's your loose growth thinly and neatly in a twist--where there is no tangling--the tangles give you the illusion of volume. I must warn you that you won't really know the size your locs are going to be until they are out of the teenage phase and they have matured (and you won't know when that is until you get there, and one day you say: VOILA! they're mature!)
My advice is to just enjoy the moments of wonder and surprise that your locs will bring you through out the process.
One Love,
SR

How do you know how thick your locs will turn out, is it based on the hair that is sectioned off?

You dont know at first, you can have an idea, based upon the grid...however it will depend on your maintenance method chosen and your texture. By month 6 you'll have a good idea....but it's not until around 18 months that things start to calm down and the locks begin to mature into who they will become...enjoy!
