I am newly napptural so I don't want to lock my hair just yet. I hope to lock my hair one day when I'm a bit older. I think maybe in my late thirties. I like locks but at this time I think they are too permanent for me now

Alma, your hair is da bomb. And I say you oughta write a book coz I love how you started your locs. I toy with the idea myself and you're the guru I'd come to for guidance if I did decide to loc. But like CC, I'm not quite ready to yet. I'm enjoying my hair as it is right now.

I started locs sometime last summer, but took them apart because my scalp wasn't getting as clean as I liked. It has a tendency to flake, and I often need a brush to rid it of build-up. Also, when I had started taking them down, what I thought was a bud turned out to be a hard ball of lint. I just couldn't do it. I did enjoy the extra free time, though.

There is a girl at my school who just started locking, and it looks absolutely radiant on her. It's not for me just yet, but for the first time I began to think about it *hmmm*

I have considered it but then quickly changed my mind. I dont think that it would be right for me. I do love seeing ppl with nice, neat, clean locs. Maybe one day I will get the courage.

Dreds are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute but I'm too fickle to do it. I like being able to straighten it one day, then wear my natural afro the next, or a short short wig. I'm going to put in some imitation locs though just because I want to try them out.

Your hair is BEAUTIFUL!
I'm curious:
1) Before you began freeforming, how long did it take you to tighten up your locs, and how often did you do them?
2) How long does it take your hair to dry?
3) I noticed they are fairly thick and full. Are they easy to manipulate?
4) Do you miss your loose hair?
(btw, I'm a londoner too - born and bred).

Hi!
I tightened my locs once a month with the latch hook technique. I didn't want to do it to often or it might thin out the locs.
It used to take my locs a whole day to dry when I was daily rinsing -but water helps the locs to tighten, so it soon took about 1 hour 'till my locs were dry.
It was hard to get my thick locs to style up in the begininning because they had no length, but as they are getting longer, its getting easier to style.
I've always wanted locs and I had natural hair for 80% of my life so far, so I'm glad I finally took the step to loc up.
Nice to see another Londoner in this forum!
