1-month Loc update

Hello all,

This is a quick video update after my retwist. Today is my 1-month loc anniversary! Yay!

How To: Nourishing Loc Spritzer

This is a how-to video for making the loc spritzer I use daily :)

1-Month Loc update

A few things I've noticed in this first month:

* Locs love water!
*Locs love oils
*The first month is virtually uneventful- For me, only some shrinkage and minimal frizz
*I love my locs and still plan to keep them :)

Enjoy the first video. I will post photos of my second retwist in a few days.

Happy Hair Journey

A few years into my natural hair journey, I started thinking about locking my hair. I hesitated to do so for many reasons and my fears will be addressed in future posts.

DRUMROLL....

So, I am almost four weeks into my loc journey. In addition to Happy Stories that celebrate natural, I will be updating on my own hair transition. This was not an impulsive decision by any means and it has come with much opposition. Stay tuned for what I expect to be an entertaining, challenging and affirming ride. Also, I hope to debunk a lot of the misconceptions surrounding locs and the locking process-- i.e. it's a dirty, messy, unattractive process and muddies career prospects.

I have created a Hairlightful youtube channel...but I am unsure whether or not to keep a video journal. Any thoughts?

I have been looking at thousands of pictures and hundreds of videos as I research the process. This one of Lauren Hill is one of my favorites. Here's to Happy Hair Locking :)
