KNOW THIS: My journey is MY journey. It does not look like any other loc'ers journey. If you are interested in locs or currently loc'ing, realize that everyone's journey is going to be different. The quicker you accept your hair texture, method of loc'ing and outcome, the better you will enjoy this journey. Do not compare your locs to any other set of locs. While it's okay to marvel and appreciate other locs, don't forget to love and appreciate your crown too.
Many may not understand the emotions that are behind loc'ing and that's fine. It's not for them to understand. Enjoy what nature is doing to your crown and continue to love yourself....ultimately.
As you look at the stages of my locs, please do not assume that if your locs do not look like mine, that something is wrong. Your babies are right where they need to be. I am documenting my journey to share but please know that it is not a "guide to how locs should look".
Love y'all!
