I'm on YouTube!

My friends have been telling me to start making YouTube videos for a while, and I finally did! I absolutely hate my voice, and I think I'm pretty awkward. I did it though! Here's the video and there will be more to come!

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!

Let's Get Started!

Hey! My name is Layci, and I'm a junior at UMBC (Go Retrievers!!!). I've been natural my entire life, all nineteen years of it. It was armpit length at its longest, my senior year of high school.

After a huge cut due to color damage, I started actually taking care of my hair.

I've been obssed with it since June, my BC of sorts. It's now October, and my hair is collarbone length. I'm a 3c/4a mix. I absolutely looove my loose hair, but im ready for something new. Since I was in elementary school, a press-n-curl was all  I knew. Twists outs have recently become my staple style. Now, *drum roll please* I am loc'ing my hair! I started this blog because I cannot seem to find any bloggers who are starting with me and like me. Hopefully, I can find some fellow loc starters through my blog. Anyway, I hope you have fun embarking on this journey with me!
