Locs – Day 1

I’ve wanted locs in my hair since I was in college.
I never did it though. I wasn’t 100% sure my hair would hold locs. I didn’t know how to maintain them. And I was broke.

Today I had a friend put about 50 or so starter braids in my hair to see if it would hold. I’m really hoping it does. Fun part is the ends. On extremely curly hair, you don’t need to do anything to the ends when you finish the braid, they just sort of hold themselves in place. My hair isn’t quite curly enough for that. So we super-glued it. After these are in for about 2-3 weeks, we’ll do my whole head if they take.

And here’s how they look after 1 day. When I have my hair down, you can’t see any of them. It took Kami about 2 hours to do these 3 rows. My whole head will probably take 8-10 hours. I got a lot of knitting done, so that’s a bonus. Plus I get to chat with Kami and her kids, which is also fun.
