I restarted my locs twice from ages 19 to 29. Dealing with comments from friends and family and pregnancy hormones. The final time I was 3 kids in a realized that it was my hair, and I loved how locs made me feel more confident with myself. Once I stopped caring and owned my locs. It made me better in other areas of my life. 10 years later, I am just enjoying life and my loc journey. 😊

My loc journey is not related to vanity, or spirituality. My loc journey is totally related to easier to manage natural hair. I went natural for 10 years before I loc'd my hair. I got tired of all the work it took to maintain my natural hair and was convinced by a nephew to just loc it up.

I made the decision to lock my hair earlier this year and I’ve always preferred thick locs (especially when I was considering what I want for myself because I like my hair to have volume), and let me tell you the least supportive people have been my family members. My mom especially because she’s a Caribbean person and we have no one with locs in our family. I’ve already been told multiple times that people don’t like them, that they look “scary”, that they’re shaped weird, that I looked better with loose hair. But me and my locs are thriving, they’ve grown and developed so much in such a short period of time and I’m so proud of them. I was considering doing Marley braids because I have a big move coming up and I wanted some more convenience since my locs are at a sort of mid-length now (they’re shoulder length, from ear length when I started) but honestly they’re sitting really nicely and maybe I’m just finally starting to have good hair days because they’ve really been having a blast up there doing what they want up till the past two-ish weeks (I’m 5 months in). I went into this just wanting to live a better lifestyle and center myself in my own life so I can find my authentic self, and I wasn’t prepared for how spiritual this journey has been. I watched a lot of videos before I decided to loc and almost all of them said that locking is a spiritual journey and a journey to self-love and acceptance, I really should’ve listened to them because when I tell you I’ve never been so face to face with my trauma and finally having the strength to jump some serious hurdles. Whatever I decide to do, I’m really glad I stumbled across this video because the loc community has been so supportive and I’ve honestly never felt more *me*. My locs really are an extension of myself, and I was never a person who felt attached to their hair. Here’s to 5 months and many more 💕

Needless to say I had some hair trauma for 3 years. I hated having perms, braids and extensions in the form of braids or twists. My hair is super thick and dense so it was bothersome. I am 22 now and have been natural for 11 years. Did a big chop and now my hair is long again. I really want to get locs again. I have 4C and love my natural hair. I just need the right loc-tition in my area. I don’t just want anyone to loc my hair. Plus I’m in tech/corporate and university but I already stand out. I just want to wear my hair and not have to get extensions.
