They always seem to look scalpy in the beginning but they would be easier to maintain in the early stages. The parts would probably stay intact.
These are pictures from 1year and 4 months after my first BC. I don't even think I wore these out of the house I hated them so much. If I decide to start my locs with braids, I would make them a lot smaller...of course.
I dunno...my hair is about 5 inches or so here...
