Accidental freeformin'...

These are mobile pics and I promise I'll get you higher-res photos, but I wanted to give y'all a quick peek at my locs as of late.

In the past 3-4 months, I may have retwisted twice. Just out of sheer laziness. In fact, at one point I just HAD to retwist because the new growth was starting to do it's own weird loc'ing thing. And by weird, I mean they were loc'ing up with each other. Which does nothing but make taking them a part a freaking pain.

Summer time is here and I'll do even less retwisting because there is something about the summer that makes my scalp insanely itchy. And the only relief I ever get is from washing the hair. And I'm not down for retwisting just to wash a few days later. No ma'am...

So yep. The 3.5 year old locs are still doin' their thang!

Loc Spotlight: Gorgeous thick locs

Hoooow beautiful are these locs? *swoon*

Okay - somehow I've found some inspiration to be more active with natural hair blogging and so I'll be back with more Loc Rocker updates. YES! Finally, uh? Between my locs, guest posts and random gorgeous pictures of loc'd ladies and gents on the innanet - I'll be doing a lot more updating.

Even though I've been a bit ghost on the blog, many of you have been so supportive through social media and emails and I can't thank you enough.

I'm back!

The locs are still a rockin'

Hi lovelies!

Just droppin' in to say "hello". The locs are still a rockin' and I've got a photo shoot coming up in a few days so that means recent pics. Yaaaay!

Have a wonderful weekend!

LocSpotlight: Larger Locs Love

Hi! It's me. I know. Pretend like I haven't disappeared for a good month, okay? I still owe you a 3-year update and I promise that will be coming sooner rather than later.

I was strolling through Tumblr and came across a pic of these gorgeous locs.

Beautiful, right?

Satin hats: Perfect for Loc'd Ladies in Colder Climates

Hey y'all! Happy New Year! I hope 2012 has been treating you well so far. I spent the Christmas holiday in Maryland with Esposo and the in laws. Most of you all know I'm a Florida girl, right? That means I complain when the temperature gets below 70 degrees. Such was the case during my visit. While I've been in much colder weather, I was cold enough to want to cover my head during most of the trip.

I am always getting questions about protecting the locs during the winter and this is one topic I can't speak much on simply because, uh....I live in Florida. Where winter doesn't exist. A few weeks ago I found this amaziiiiiing website that has satin lined hats and scarves.

Be still my heart.

I need these. I need all of them. For one, they have so many different adorable styles. And satin is so much better for our locs. Scarves and lint-y hats can result in the dreaded lint and we all know how much that sucks. The satin, however...locks moisture in and can prevent your locs from getting dry and brittle. Those with longer locs may struggle with trying to stuff their hair into these hats but still, protecting the crown from Jack Frost is better than nothing, uh? Must.get.these.

Hatsome has a sale going on too. You can snag most of these hats for $25. Not a bad price. Granted you could sew satin pieces in your own hats but I'm one of those "I'd rather pay someone else to do something I'm too lazy to do myself" kind of peeps.

How do you protect your locs during the winter months?

Oh, and speaking of winter. It was 30 degrees last night here in Orlando, y'all. 30.


*faints*

Guest Post: Loc rockin' for 5 years

Say hi to Amelia from Wilmington, Delaware!

 What Amelia says, "I've been natural for 6 years and locking my hair for five.  

Merry Christmas!

I know the politically correct term these days is "Happy Holidays" and I use that too but for some reason, I felt inclined to say Merry Christmas! I'm in Maryland spending my first Christmas with the in-laws and I'm having an amazing time.

Lots of love to you and yours this holiday season!
