Locs

Hey friends. I know..this is strange. Two posts in a week, but since I'm on a 4-day fast from Twitter (it's so hard), I'm able to get a lot more things done. Anyway, this post is about my hair. I have finally decided to go ahead and proceed with locs. I attempted to loc my hair in July 2008, but then I changed my mind in June 2009 and combed them down (meaning I untwisted all the hair so that it would be loose). I did this for several reasons. For one, I wasn't ready for the commitment. I had never had an afro or anything, and I still wanted to experiment with natural hair. Second, I went to a black church college homecoming and every 5 people had locs. It was overwhelming! I felt so normal that it compelled me to take mine out! Well now that I have finally made up my mind to lock my hair, I'm really excited about it and I can't wait for my hair to grow! It's going to be exciting and I'll try to keep you guys posted on my progress. I just hope that my locs are long and bountiful by the time graduation comes....

Ahh... I love locs!
