Don't Forget the Locs



Source

 So it was recently brought to my attention that I have no posts on locs.  My response was “I sure don’t, let me get on that!”  I honestly know nothing about locs.  Years ago, I pondered getting sista locks but the commitment was too heavy for me.  One of my very good friends  is a “locker” so I figured, let me get some info from her.  We can barter great ideas and exchange helpful information over margaritas!  So, we have a date to do that and I will post that later.  Until then, I have been doing my own research on the locs.  There are plenty of great blogs out there geared toward the locked community – no surprise there.  You know, like anything, you have your faves.  I wanted to share mine with you in case you are considering the locked route!  Check these out!

NaturalViews with Angie

Meet Angie

When did your natural journey begin?
7 years ago.  My hair was never long so it did not take a lot of cutting and waiting when my process began

What/Who inspired you to go the natural route?
Who: No one person in particular inspired me to go natural but Karen Gary, a hair stylist in Columbus, Ohio encouraged me to loc my hair.
What: I realized that I spent too much time in the hair dresser to not have healthy hair

How do you rock your natural?  (curly, straight, locked )
I rock the locs!

What is your current routine?
I have them washed and retouched once a month.  I use Carol’s Daughter’s Hair Milk to keep it moist and I was recently introduced to Shea Butter.

What is the one thing you love about your hair?
The progress!  My hair is longer and more healthy than it is ever been and I believe that I owe it to the loc process.
