My God! I didn't realize that I hadn't posted to this blog for almost 2 years. In 2 weeks I will be locked for 5 years. YES, I still have them. Many who started this journey before and even after have chosen to cut their locks. And that's ok. This is just my opinion but, there seems to have been a trend. When people, particularly famous singers and actors grew locks so did regular folks. When these famous folks cut theirs so did regular folks. Again that's ok. Wherever you are on your journey be blessed. I'm still enjoying lockdom. I'm not much into blogging about them as I was when they were babes or teens. I still have no desire to be permed. IF i did cut them I would probably wear 2 strand twist. I love the feel of naturally coily hair.I've had the colored 2 times in 5 years. I'm still pretty much a minimalist don't do too much other than washing, conditioning occasionally and I still clarify with baking soda and a few drops of lavender oil in a pitch of warm water after washing. Refreshing. I haven't been doing much since I began my lock journey. I moved to Maryland about 5 months after I locked my hair and I hope that this will be the year that I move back home to Texas or somewhere in the South. As you all know this economy ain't no joke and finding a teaching job isn't as easy as it used to be. I have picked up a new hobby/love about a year ago. I started learning the bass guitar and I love picking it up and learning something new every time I do. If any of you fellow lockers out there play bass, hook a sista up with a few fret board tips.
Hopefully, I'll post pictures for my 5 year anniversary. But there are so many beautifully locked heads of hair to look at and I encourage you to enjoy them all.
