The most important thing is that you were able to transition from relaxed to natural hair, but I hope that one day you cut off all the extensions on the end of your locs so you won't have to keep repeating the big chop every year, so to speak.S.

So, I have had my locs for 4 years but they are only shoulder length because I cut them to my neck every year (around New Years). I cut them because I am trying to eliminate... No, I do not mean what you think. I am trying to get rid of all the extensions. Yes, I impulsively decided that I needed a change and I did not want to comb my hair anymore after my father past 4 years ago. I avoided the Coils stage because I thought my face was just too fat for that look. I cheated…I went into the shop with a shoulder length perm and came out with shoulder length locs, $400 (after tip). I always thought about locs but never knew I’d actually have them especially since a long curly weave was my favorite style for years! Even though I cheated the first stage my new growth went through all the stages to get where I am today. If you looked at my hair you’d never know they were fake unless I told you. Take a look…see the dark hair on the ends? Those are the remnants of the extensions. I color my locs and the extensions were synthetic and won’t color. I admit that today, I am proud and enjoying the beyond maturity stage of loc rockin. However, my journey has been non traditional.WooHoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08332510409169941025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2863545505587940137.post-48570125491914959572010-04-09T09:21:47.295-04:002010-04-09T09:21:47.295-04:00When I first thought about locing my hair that boo...When I first thought about locing my hair that book was my bible. I studied it like I was taking a course in Locing 101. I still refer to it sometimes.And being perfectly honest as much as I love the length I have now,I miss the beginning stage when I was getting to know my natural hair and I had all those little buds on my head and it took two seconds to run my fingers through them and make them stand up. Ahhh the good old daysLoced Lionesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13845926474495737757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2863545505587940137.post-62520680064355426982010-04-09T04:34:46.038-04:002010-04-09T04:34:46.038-04:00Mine are in the budding stage at the moment which ...Mine are in the budding stage at the moment which fills me with hope that the fuzzy stage will soon enough come to an end- I can't take it anymore!LeshaLainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09079072119681946023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2863545505587940137.post-71418600168353815292010-04-09T00:06:25.069-04:002010-04-09T00:06:25.069-04:00Yay I'm glad you got your hands on this book t...Yay I'm glad you got your hands on this book too! I borrowed it from the library, it was definitely worth it. I wish I could have borrowed this book when I first started, just to get a concise and convenient manual to reveal to me what I was up for. Not that youtube, fotki, and other websites didn't help, but it's also nice to hold something physical in your hand that tells you what the locking journey is all about :) Great post!NESSessaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15457503537265187149noreply@blogger.com
