Nat's Locking Journey

 

Hello everyone

and thank you Maryee for inviting me to join LHBE. My locs are traditional and were started with two strand twists which I maintain with an interlocking tool I made. My locing anniversary is Mar/01/2009 and have been natural now for about 5 years. Since I was lurking and looking at some wonderful blogs for so long I decided to take the plunge and start a blog of my own. Hoping that I will learn more from my fellow lockers and possibly share something new with you. Check out my blog @ http://naturigurls-locjourney.blogspot.com/ Come share your thoughts and ideas with me.

Yours in this journey together

Lotit's Fotki Album

Hey ya'll who've chosen to live a
nappy-headed lifestyle! 6 years of
wearing weaves on and off and hair
extensions. I started my locs on
3rd Oct 2006.  Friends thought I
was crazy to lock my hair. I'm more
connected with my hair than ever
before! It's been a new journey, a
new age in my life...Please check

Locked since 11-2-06 & still counting!

hey!!! i'm part of so many different groups, i told myself i wouldn't join any more (only bcz i would start to forget passwords and such). but i've seen this L.H.B.E all over the place, i couldn't resist. i want to get in contact with other naturals and loc'ers & plus, this community is ever growing & i want to be a part of every minute of it.

i have three accounts (links at the bottom) that chronicle my journey with locks, started on 11/02/2006. my first intention was to get sisterlocks, but due to the money issue & the fact that micro locks weren't for me, i opted for traditional locks. although i did go to the salon to get them started (with two strand twist), i maintain them myself mostly with the latchhook, and i periodically treat myself to the salon for a fresh palm roll. they are all different sizes & lengths & I love every minute of it (being natural in general) & at no time can i EVER see myself rockin a perm again in my life. i am a 19 year old girl and just like DoULuViTgOrGeOuS mentioned in her blog, i hope that i can be an inspiration to any other young black women to not let society judge them or label them & to not be afraid to step out & be different.

ok i'm tired of typing now, so please, just stop by my spot & show me love!

Ready or Loc. . .

Here I come. I started with two strand twists in February 2007. I'm notorious for using the "figure it out" method, which has been the process for my hair. I maintain with a mix of latch hooking method and twisting, just depends on what I'm feeling like. That's pretty much how I approach my hair: I do what I feel like.

I'm working on my PhD in American Culture Studies at Bowling Green State University. I'm a self proclaimed craft gangsta, and between whining about the cold, bragging about my home state of NC, I joined the blogosphere.

I'm a recovering hair product junkie. All other body care product are still free game! I like to make up words. Pop culture is my joy and probably will be at the center of my career. I give my intelligently quirky, corny, and sometimes snarky take on most things hair, somethings culture, and all things hair culture.
