A couple of months ago I posted a blog about my hair journey (click here). I have always enjoyed new styles; braid, wigs, natural and or relaxed but at that time I had reached a point where I was tired of covering up my hair and wanted self-acceptance. Does that make sense? Let me be clearer, I was not wanting to be natural and then cover with a wig. Also, and honestly speaking, I was experiencing some scalp issues from not allowing my scalp to get enough air; extreme dry scalp (almost cradle cap like...I know!). My solution: Love your natural hair and don't hide it. So, I decided to go back to locs. When I was in college I loc'd my hair for a very brief moment (I think a year) but I was ready to go back to it, to give myself the fresh restart that I needed. So, fast forward to almost a year now and you can't tell me nothing!!!
I LOVE everything about my hair, the color the length PLUS no more extreme dry scalp!!! I have a hair routine that I am willing to share if you guys are interested in learning more about what I use. Let me just add, the products and routine that I've created, has increased my length 2x!!! (and it's so simple- you know me). There are so many advantages to me being loc'd and loving it; I can create cute hairstyles in minutes, I can color and or cut my hair and still be loc'd, I can be crimped & curled.....the list goes on and on! To see exactly what I'm talking about, check out my video of me styling my hair below. In closing, don't know where you are on your hair journey; loc'd, wearing a wig, relaxed, dyed etc. -no matter what, love yourself shamelessly!
