Matter of fact I'm on week 5 with my two-strand twists. I'm very excited about the journey.
I reached my waistlength goal as a loose natural. I was unto hiplength as a texlaxer but I still wasn't satisfied. I got mad and told my mother I was going to cut my hair and she said "you grow all that hair and now you don't want it?"
I was given the option to have someone style my hair weekly but I turned it down since I'm a DIYer. So one day I did some thinking -I've been a loose natural...I've been texlaxed...hmmm, ok, so what's next
? I decided to do locs because
- I love to see well groomed locs especially once styled
- I hate detangling my hair and I just like to leave my hair alone
So I'm going from laxed to locs. I still have alot of texture in my hair and my last touch up was in January. I'm not too worried about the fuzzies. I love the fact that I can safely 'wash and go' without worrying about the detangling session. My twists have shrunken up to armpit length in most areas so I'm enjoying the shorter look for now (they were lower midback in the beginning).
I don't intend to be loc'ed forever but for right now no combing fits my lifestyle and I'm very happy.
