Thank you.True indeed...it's the salt and pepper for me.
I would love to have my 3+ years of loc growth back and I would love to think I have the patience to get through the doing-what-it-wants-to-do stage of locs but chemo really changed my hair texture and density. It’s very fine and very straight. It’s baby hair for real……locing this hair is going to be a totally different experience. We’ll see if it grows up.Thank you.
50 where at????? You look 25! Congrats on your 2.5 year mark. Your hair looks lovely!I have been locked 2.5 years now. I LOVE my locs! #50 and fine
What are you going to do with your locks once you cut them? Has it been hard keeping them separated during your transition so they don't marry?I’ve been going back and forth about what to do when I turn 40 next year. I decided to transition/stop getting retis and hopefully chop at or close to my birthday. I’m sure I’ll look crazy in the interim but I want enough hair to do something with. My locs will be ~9y 4mos and I’ll have just over a year of new growth if I stick to the schedule
As it is here is a recent shot

I’m not sure what to do with them. I’ll probably keep them buried in the closet or something lolWhat are you going to do with your locks once you cut them? Has it been hard keeping them separated during your transition so they don't marry?
I think locs would be perfect for you!I think I wanna loc my hair but i'm scared. I've been a loose natural since 2013 and i'm sick of braids and twists and detangling my hair. I'm tired of sitting for 5+ hours getting protective styles i know i'll get sick of. Not sure what to do but I know I just want low maintenance. I wanna be able to get up and go without constantly worrying about how my hair looks. Also being able to save money would be a huge bonus.
Any Advice is needed...thank you!
just had my consultation. Everything looks good and I set up my appointment to get my starter locs done on feb 15th at 9.
She told me I could start my locs with coils but I told her I wanted two strand twists..like small to medium pencil sized. Not too big or too small and I showed her pictures.
In about 2 weeks, all this hair will be loc'd!
Congratulations! I'm so excited for you. How did everything go? Can we see pics of your starters if you're comfortable sharing? I'm sure you look beautiful with them. How do you feel? Enjoy your journey and love your locks!getting my starter locs done first thing in the morning! so excited plus i'm taking a day off from work, might take off friday too!
Wow....seriously? That is so unprofessional and disrespectful. I'm sorry that happened. At least you were able to turn things around and still treat yourself to a day out. ***hugs***@shortycocoa
here's the update: I went for my appointment at 9 and the loctician did not arrive to the shop until 11:45. I had just pulled off when she texted me that she had to go to a funeral for one of her family members. I was pissed. I stood outside waiting on her for hours. I didn't end up paying her.I got to the shop super early too, a little after 8 am. I took off work for this smh I planned ahead and even scheduled this online. She didn't even call me to say she'd be late.
I left, went out to lunch and got cheesecake factory for dessert before heading home.
I ended up booking an appointment with another place for next saturday afternoon. Hopefully they won't flake out on me. It'll still cost the same--$95 but what that girl did today was such BS. It was my first and last time going with her. She lost a customer.
*****she ended up calling me at 11:41 to say she was on her way but I had just got in my car and left*****
Yay!!! Keeping my fingers crossed for you. I hope everything goes well with your consultation. What kept you from starting them yourself, if you don't mind me asking? I'm just curious.This saturday is the big day!!!!! I hope this all goes well and i'm not disappointed like last time.
i go in for my loc consultation friday morning at 11.
I'll keep the updates going
Glad it went well! It definitely sounds like this was a much better experience and you're ready to go. She seems very thorough. I'm looking forward to seeing your pics tomorrow. Enjoy your appointment!Consultation went great! The loctician said I should start with two strand twists instead of coils since my hair is so long. She said if I got coils, they would unravel and cause a lot of snagging. She also said I should get a trim beforehand so I plan to just pay her extra tomorrow for a good trim. I showed her what size I wanted and she had me pick my size from her swatch. I showed her lots of pics of my preferred sizing. She said she'll write down the products I would need after she twists my hair and to make sure I sleep with a bonnet or a scarf at night. She said loc maintenance is super simple and to not overload with products so I don't get buildup and lint in my starter locs. Overall, I was pleased with the service and very thankful things didn't go all the way left.
She said she'll wash and condition my hair tomorrow and to make sure I take my final pics being a loose natural.
I'm all set for tomorrow afternoon so i'll post pics then!
