Many may not understand the emotions that are behind loc'ing and that's fine. It's not for them to understand. Enjoy what nature is doing to your crown and continue to love yourself....ultimately.
As you look at the stages of my locs, please do not assume that if your locs do not look like mine, that something is wrong. Your babies are right where they need to be. I am documenting my journey to share but please know that it is not a "guide to how locs should look". And remember, I am not a professional hair stylist or hair guru. I know what I know only because I research and go through trials and errors.
