loc my hair

I went to a loctitian on September 12 and began the process of locing my hair. I am loving the journey so far. I have been natural (without chemicals) for 8 years but was not ready to loc. My hair is thick and coily, but the inidvidual strands are fine, so all that daily manipulation of my hair was doing it no favors. I resisted locing because I love afro puffs so much. It finally dawned on me that I could still wear my beloved puff if I had the urge. I’ll just pin my hair down and add a fakey :0) With all the loc styles I have been seeing, I don’t even know if I will crave my puff anyway.
