Loc up now but hairstyles before I got locd 🍃

Hi so I wanted to show how my hair was before I locd it and the different styles I had before hand I did a lot of braids and a lot of sew ins /quick weaves /wigs /my natural hair and frontals but my go to was definitely faux locs or butterfly locs. Over the years that style was my favorite because I could keep it in for a few months and they would started to look like locs.So after much research and back and forth about what type of locs and size I got my locs. The best thing about it is that I finally felt comfortable with wearing my natural hair before I was always covering it up. I love my locks and so happy to have them now 1 year and a month and a life time to go.

... Read moreBefore embracing the beauty of locs, many of us explore a variety of hairstyles that reflect our personality and style. Transformative styles such as braids, weaves, and wigs allow for creative expression and can serve as protective styles, promoting hair health. Faux locs, in particular, are popular for their versatility and ease, making them a favorite among many. They can mimic the aesthetic of traditional locs while providing the flexibility to change styles easily. This allows individuals to enjoy the loc look without the long-term commitment, and as styles evolve, many find themselves inspired by the rich culture and history associated with locs. The journey towards locs often reflects a transition not just in hairstyle, but also in self-acceptance and confidence. By exploring different styles, one can celebrate their natural texture and learn to love their hair in its natural state. Ultimately, the journey is personal, and each hairstyle contributes to a beautiful narrative of self-expression and empowerment.

Do you miss your loose hair sometimes?! I go back and forth but I mostly love my hair. Sometimes I see my friends with the fresh silk press, crisp box braids or the laid sew in and I miss it. But my locs have changed my life for the better. What about you? #locjourney #blackg
