The Journey Has Begun!

Good morning! Well, it's actually 2:08pm, but I'm pretty much just beginning my day. Anyway, I felt like I should write a little something about how I'm starting my locs. I'm doing them completely by myself! As an unemployed college student, professional locs are out of the question. I feel like I will be closer to my locs by doing them myself, though. I love doing my own hair (most of the time). As you know, my hair is pretty much collarbone length when stretched. My hair is a 3c/4a mix, and the front and back of my hair is considerably looser than the rest. I did single strand twists or coils on my entire head. Only the very front of my hair needed two strand twists. I used EcoStyler Gel at first, but I switched to Jamaican Mango and Lime Locking Gel. Officially, I began my loc journey on Thursday, October 20, 2011. Yay!
