I was going to put this in a post of its on but I just wanted to go ahead and let you guys know that I will not be posting up until I start my locs in july/august. Reason being I dont really have anything to to post up because my hair is a protective style or braids atm and they will be in until I take them out to go for my consultation. I am also an art student and I have 6 weeks left on my course and I am curently doing my final major project which is just. yeah xD STRESS.But I am planning on making a post nearer to then to show my natural journey. It'll be a year in august!! woo.
I am so proud of myself for sticking in there and not going back to relaxers cause Ive gotta admit it's been pretty time consuming taming my natural hair and the thought of putting a relaxer back in has crossed my mind! But I love my natural hair, I love its thickness and texture and just how it looks in general, which bring me into my 2nd update!
I cannot wait to start my loc journey, Ive been watching so many videos on youtube about locs in general. I feel to just take out my braids and start my journey now but I know It's not a good time!! I literally feel ready, my mindset has changed, and I just realise that it's just hair, it doesnt need to be given so much importance because at the end of the day as India.Arie states "I am not my hair" I used to be one of those people who was defined by their hair everyone knew me for my braids but gone are the days! Seriously I know getting locs is going to change my life because for the 1st time it'll be me in my fully natural state and I'm just ready to embrace all of the stages and I thank the loc community of youtube for that. I ve watched a millon videos on "things to know before you start your locs" " How to retwist" "Loc journeys" and " Do and dont products" "Cultivated vs Freeform" "Ending my loc journey "" Ive even been watcing peoples month by month loc journeys. I' m currently religously watching Edhil1998's journey because ive been watching her beforeshe even started her locs and hers aree BEAUTIFUL, they've matured so quickly! I am also watching Tbey82 cause she started her journey along with her daughters 3 years ago and they honestly look beautiful. They are sooo well kept and neat and I love their size!!
As you can tell i'm itching to start them. Literally I keep watching videos on youtube!! I'M physically and emotionally ready, like nothing anyone could say or do to me could stop me from doing them. I'm strong that I can start them and embrace the journey !!
My good friend Khemi has had her locs all her life and she was like you're more educated about locs than I am. I might retwist her hair for her xD
