I know I haven’t written in awhile- which is fine since no one is really reading this and this blog is just kind of for me and my journey. I have recently decided to loc my hair. I am one who really likes to read and research before I commit to something. I have been admiring locs for awhile- especially the versatility I found with sisterlocks. I decided that route was a little too expensive for my blood. So I decided instead to lock my hair. I called my good friend Cookie over and we sat down for 8 hours putting in tiny two strand twists. I will have to have my best friend send me pics of my hair after it was freshly twisted. My husband is buying a new camera for me for Christmas. I am hoping to get it early- (read: Black Friday) and therefore start taking pictures documenting my new journey.

Usually what inspires me to blog or write would be frustration. I have been very frustrated with the lack of help from my fellow sistas out there. Now I am not pointing the finger to all- but there have been some I have reached out to and there have been no responses or vague responses. I have basically been interested in learning the best way to tighten my locs. I realize that is going to be a personal preference. However when I a see a fellow sister’s locs I instantly want to know her routine. It was no different than when I was a free natural. I do my best to make sure i pay it forward and if someone needs help I try to be more than willing to lend the knowledge I do know. I guess its going to boil down to me buying some books- I have no problem reading on my own.

I may find later that I am making this harder than it needs to be. The common thread I am finding is the simplicity of locs…. so I guess I will lay back and try to enjoy the ride and learn some patience.

Hopefully the rest will come

Peace and Blessings
