Live. Love. Locs.

I'm from atlanta.
I live in new york.

Soooo I Was Thinking About My Locs…

When I decided to start my locs I probably looked at every youtube video, blog (0nDeck, Britney @LocRocker …and the list continues that had to deal with dreads and natural hair. And I used to think it was sooo corny when people spoke of how growing locs teaches you patients-which it definitely does, self acceptance…. and that their hair represents them and tells a lot about who they are…blah la la. How the hell can you determine certain qualities about a person based on their locs? Bullshit

Sooo I was thinking about MY locs and I started to understand what a lot people where saying. I started my locs June 2010 at a natural hair salon called Deeply Rooted in Atlanta. And I was rustling through magazines trying to decide the size I wanted my locs to be-and because I was going to maintain this style for a while, it was a big deal The lady pointed at some guys locs and said yours will probably be about that size… and I said okay. But then half way through my head I asked her to make them smaller because I didn’t want them that big. So now a year and a half later I have fat locs in the back and skinny ones up top. Definitely reflects how indecisive I can be.

Whoa was I bored at shit today. This is what I was doing instead of studying for my test. Putting on makeup with nowhere to go—as you can’t tell by the grey t-shirt I have on. But on the bright side I used to be scared of the red lip. Its either a hit or miss because the color is so LOUD and my lips are kinda plump. But I think I’ve done well for my first time. SUCCESS!
