Styles for Medium-lengthed locs

Well y'all..I'm bored. I had a style for two weeks and curls for another two weeks and I'm just not digging my locs in their straight-down state. It's boring and uneventful. And of course I'm wanting to color again. But I won't.

I'm also itching to go back to the loctician so she can give me an updo or a pretty style for a wedding I'm attending this weekend. But her salon closes at 5pm and I don't leave work until 5pm. Sucks much, uh?  So, I had to do some research on styles for medium-lengthed locs that aren't curls. I love my curls but I want something different. It's SO hard to find information for us loc'ers who are in between. We're not short but we don't have super long locs either. I refuse to not know how to do my own hair. So I've got a lot of learning and practicing to do.

These videos have been CRAZY helpful.








My life will be SO complete if when I learn how to basket weave. I was pretty dope with flat-twisting when I had loose hair so I'm hoping it won't be too difficult. My only issue is that my scalp is SO sensitive. If I pull any of my locs too tight...it hurts. Does this mean I'm tender headed? Ain't that a crock of bull! I was never tender headed before. *scoffs* 

Anywhoovers....I'm inspired now!

If you have any suggestions or know of any other videos and/or styles for medium-lengthed locs, leave them in the comments section. I'm going to make this post a sticky on the side for reference.
