So it's been a little over 10 months and I don't know if it's just me, but my locs look a lot longer in the front. I didn't palmroll last month (nor did I retwist the roots) because of the "pipe cleaner curls" look. (It was too time consuming lol).
So at this point I had a lot of expectations as far as length and progress. I'm accepting that some parts of my hair may never actually loc for whatever reasons on the ends. (probably relaxer days or my curl pattern, who knows). The top middle of my head isn't locing as quickly as the rest. My hair grew back quickly, but not as fast as I thought it would. I'm still waiting for my length to be back to it's originally length... (chin and shoulders). I'd be lying if I said I don't miss my old length.
In other news, I've given my old wigs and hair pieces a break. I'm just simply tired of them. I'm tired of hiding my hair through the "ugly" phase. I'm tired of not feeling attractive or as feminine with shorter hair. So now I just pop a tam over my hair and go about my business.
These are some of the women that inspired my locs:
this length and thickness is more of my personality... crimped and curly, long hair don't care!
