I made the decision to loc my hair in September. Of course, just because I had a desire didn't mean I was prepared to take the plunge. I invested in the proper products, tools, and information before finally doing the deed. I spent the last few months enjoying my loose natural hair as much as possible. Trying new things, achieving different styles, and reaching milestones.
Now, since this year began me and my hair have experienced many firsts liiiike:
First twist-n-curl
First fro-hawk
First Sew-In Weave
First Kinky Twists
First (successful) Wash-n-Go
First Bun
And of course, the first time I was able to swing my fro!

Now, it is time to begin a new journey. After months of research, 6 hours of labor, I finally gave birth to my beautiful starter locs. Ladies, I introduce to you my very first set of locs!
I started them with finger coils, with Taliah Waajid Loc It Up Gel and Hot Six Oil. I sectioned my hair and made my parts as neat as I could. They're not all the same size, but for most part I was pretty consistent. Can't wait to see how they look when they finally mature! (I know it wont take long, my hair has attempted to loc up on me without my approval numerous times). I will re-twist once a month, wash every 7-10 days, and keep them from getting dry with oil. I'll probably be around here a lot less, since I want to take time off from being "Hair obsessed."
My locs were born on Oct 22, 2011!
