2mth update

OK its been 2mth so far with free forming. I have to say that the only changes i see are with end of my hair that was started with 2 strand twist. I really don't see much loc'n at the roots. I have had people who are twisters tell my that my hair won't loc if i don't twist it. Hmmm i really don't think Bob Marley was a twister so if his hair can dread so can mine, I guess it will just take a little longer. I have been rinsing once a day and shampooing once a week.

So far i really like this journey the freedom of not combing your hair, or worrying how you will style it. The older you get the less you care out things like that anyway. Well didn't have much to say this month may as the months come along i can talk about more changes in my hair.

Freeform locs

So i was natural for 2yrs before i decided to loc my hair. I have wanted to get locs for years but people have always tried to talk me out of it. But i finally made up my mind to do it. I started June 17 2011 with 2 strand twist. I started washing my hair a little too soon they came loose at the roots. I decided to just let them be. I wash 1 to 2 times a week with Suave clarifying shampoo. I don't add oils to my hair i just wash and go. I have never been a product user not even on my loose natural. I think my hair is naturally oily so i really don't need to add any more oils to it.

I decided to get loc'd because i really don't like doing my hair. I wanted a wash a go hair style, i'v had every hair style but locs. I decided to freeform because i really wanted to see how my hair would loc on its on, also twisting is time consuming not something i really want to get into doing. Plus i feel twisting is conforming.
