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.

It’s a WONDERFUL experience to loc your hair. It’s almost been one year and I must say that it fits my personality soooo well. I encourage you to take the tiem and do the research and make sure it is the right decision for you. Locs aren’t as permanent as people think they are…it takes about a good year or so for them to fully set, and even after that you can get rid of them if you wished. Best of luck!
