How do you feel feminine with starter locs

Installed my own starter locs after I took down my box braids a couple weeks ago. Though I do love my hair texture, I struggle feeling feminine with the style. But in that I’m also liberated. (I’ll swoop my edges to feel a lil oomf) I hope I’m not the only one.

I mist rice water and my hair feels soft when I use the silk scarf as well.
