Helllerrrrrr!
I've been searching and searching and really haven't found any threads that support locs... so let this be the first (I guess, could be wrong so don't quote me).
Anyway, I thought it would be nice for ladies/gents to have a "go to" thread for those who currently have locs, inquiring about locs or simply just want to know more about them. I'll do my best in answering any questions and do welcome those who have experience with locs to chime in as well!
Locs = cultivated, sisterlocs, brotherlocs, freeform, braidlocs, etc
Before we get started, lets clear the air and get a couple of the basic myths out of the way about locs:
1 - Locs are filthy and dirty- umm negative, you can wash locs just like you would normally wash your hair
2 - Locs were invented due to smoking mary j which caused laziness... umm negative! Locs been around for centuries.. has nothing to do with someone getting down with mary j.. find another reason to blame your use of weedz.
3 - Locs cause damage to hair and scalp - if you are not properly caring for your hair and scalp, just about anything will cause damage.. not just locs
4 - Locs have to be cut out - not true... although most who are ready to depart with their locs choose this method because it's easier does not mean that they cannot opt to comb them out. It will just take some time.. a whole lotta time but it's possible!
There are a few others but you get the picture.
Joining/supporting this thread is simple. Just post a pic, comment, suggestion, advice, regi, products, styles or anything that will help support and encourage those on their journey!
