Well, my hair is losing the "coil" pattern. They are starting to look more like locs everyday. I am so excited that I have stuck it out to this point. I often question myself, "girl, why didnt you do this a lot sooner?" Simple, Felee wasnt ready. I would have started, panicked, and cut them boogers right outta my head. That is not an option for me at this point. Glad I waited. There is something on the inside that has to like click before you actually decide to loc your hair. I know my husband said to me in the very beginning, "You know that is permanent, are you sure that is something you want to do." Well, in a sense it is permanent, but then again its not. Its a matter of how you look at it.Kinda hard to describe right now, but for those of you that have embarked on the journeey before me, you know what I'm talking about. Any whoooo, next month will be 6, hear me know, 6 whole months that I have been on the journey! That is truly remarkable! What I started out doing, i don't necessarily do anymore. I didnt do a lot anyway, but its even less now. I wash, I rinse, I twist, I oil, I spritz and thats it. Pure and simple. For me, less is best, and the less I do, the less I constantly worry... Now instead of washing at some given timeframe, I wash when I feel like it. I rinse and my scalp thanks me. I twist one time and thats it. I oil my scalp when needed. i spritz w/ some H20 to liven things up. Can't get any more simpler than that. I guess I could do more, but why????? If my hair is doing ok as is; if it aint broke, dont fix it.. :ol Styling options for me right now are simple; curl my babies and let em flow. When they grow a little more maybe I'll wear them straight, maybe not. Curl em and go. Curls last for days and days and days, and, well u get the picture.... The length i had at the beginning is definitley GONE. What happened? When did it happen? Oh well, from what I have been readin I THINK that is part of the whole locing process..... any way, I love my babies, and anticipate them growing up into toddlers, then teens, then mature adults... Not quite sure what stage I am in now, but I'm still HAPPY! Grace and Peace, ~FeLee~
