Getting through the “ugly” stage of locs

I hate calling it the "ugly phase" but it is what it is lol.

The ugly phase of locs is the part of the locking process where your twists are no longer fresh, they have shrunken up to almost half of the initial length, the buds are forming, and the locs are just a hot mess!!!! This phase is a widely disliked part of the loc journey because it's where you have to learn to appreciate your hair for what it is! This phase is fortunately just a few months but it definitely teaches you self love. This is usually the phase where people decide to comb out the locs because it was too much for them. If you are at this stage, stick it through! You got this. I wore a lot of hoodies in that stage lol.
