#loc tips

Okay so, here’s so pictures of my locs before I decided to cut them. I was absolutely in love with them however,

It was not the size I truly desired.

It’s not really visible but the parts weren’t really how I wanted in the back.

I dyed a lot, clearly, and I just decided that I wanted to how much healthier my hair could have been had I not bleached and dyed it so much.

Usually I used semi-permanent dye but, for the black I’d decided to go with permanent. WORST DECISION EVER! I found out later that permanent dye has the same oxidation process as bleach AND I WAS TRYING TO AVOID THAT. I just felt like the black dye messed with the health and integrity of my hair.

I started them in Nov. 25, 2020 and decided to cut them on December 16, 2021. It was bittersweet. At first I didn’t cry but a couple weeks later it hit me how much I loved having locs and the confidence they brought me. Having locs unlocks this amazing energy. It’s more than a loc journey. It’s a self love journey. A journey to finding yourself. You would have to embark upon your own journey to truly feel what I mean.

In June of 2022 my new journey begins. I’ll be getting the size, shape and everything I always wanted and I’m extremely excited. Initially, since I’ve been wearing my wigs (used to be a HUGE wig girl) again I was like hm maybe I don’t want locs but I DO. I love love love switching my looks with wigs but those locs have a HOLD on me!
