Three years deep into my Loc journey, and Sis, I have no regrets. I do however have a list of things I’d absolutely never do with my Locs, and you can read about those here. But even with that, I’m absolutely in love with my Locs and my journey, and I believe that my being completely ready, had a lot to do with the deep love I have of my journey. Keep reading to learn 5 signs that’ll let you know if you’re ready to start your Loc journey, now!
1. Experimented With All the Styles:
You’ve already rocked all the cute braid styles, cornrows, and low cuts. You’ve had fun wearing those styles and want a change. They were fun, but now you’re itchin’ for something different. If you’re ready to say ‘peace out’ to those few styles that can’t be achieved with Locs, then girl, you’re on the right track.
2. Mastered Your Loose Natural Hair:
If you’ve already played with your natural hair, you’ve tried every kind of ‘fro, puff, and twist-out, but you’re over the long wash days and detangling drama- then, Locs might make all your ‘low-maintenance girl’ dreams come true. Trust me, I was the queen of lazy loose naturals, and Locs rescued me!
3. Craving Length and Growth:
You’re fed up with your hair reaching that annoying length that it never seems to grow past, consider getting Locs. In the Loc journey, you’ll be in for a surprise every time you take off that bonnet. If you’re ready to see length and growth, Locs will be the gift the just keeps on giving!
4. Sick of Protective Styles:
Tired of always rocking protective styles? Want to let your real hair breathe and shine? If you’re nodding your head and loving the look of box braids and faux Locs, imagine you ‘eating’ that look, with your own natural hair. Spoiler alert: you can with Locs!
5. Confidence on 100!:
Okay Queen, confidence is key at all points of your life, but especially during the Loc journey. This Loc journey comes with a “less than cute stage,” and if you’ve got the confidence to own it, you’re golden. Haters talking smack? Brush it off, Love, because you’re magic. You are the blueprint – remember that!
