Whoa! I just counted the months and it's been exactly eighteen months since I started loc-ing Poofy!! Ah, I remember how frustrating those first few months were....it felt like NOTHING was happening. In fact, let me go find a picture from when I started loc-ing.
This isn't from the beginning, this is from February this year, after about nine months. NINE! Okay, now, today, it's about another nine months from the above picture and Poofy looks like this-
Look at God.
I haven't even hit two years yet. So to clarify, this is 1.5 years of locing my hair, and about 2yrs 3months of growth from when I shaved my head. And this is growth with hella shrinkage due to the locs.
I love my hair.
I usually tie it up because, well, I've never liked wearing my hair down haha. Also, everytime I washed my locs, they would just be sticking out everywhere. Yesterday, when I washed them, they lay down! Obediently! Dangling about my face and whatnot. I was so excited.
Then I tied them up #kanyeshrug
My routine is very very simple. I washed them, threw in my oil mixture, wrapped in a towel and then pulled it back with a headband to sleep. This morning, I ran wet hands through them, added some more oil, tied the top, pinned up the locs in front and called it a day.
A year and a half!
Damn.

Oh your hair looks absolutely lovely!!
How are you feeling though? Nigeria just passed that awful bill to ban same sex marriage and criminalize anyone who is friends with or helps a gay or trans person, even rights and aid groups. =(
Fire!!!
So pretty!
@Sugabelly, mehn, our people make me so tired. I was tweeting and blogging about it a lot yesterday, just saw your timeline today. I don't know how you have the fortitude to challenge the useless people in support of it, but I want to thank you for doing it anyway!
they're so thick and juicy! mad jealous.
Well there you go. Goes to show you that if you keep at something and you don't watch it, God is quietly doing something good and it will surprise you.
My locs are about 3 years now, people who looked at me like I was crazy now stop me in the street and ask to rub my hair. I'm aiming for it to reach my buttocks and them start trimming from there. Keep the faith , you'll go far. God bless
Must feel great! Congrats on a goal accomplished...
You are so beautiful. Congratulations on your journey!
Gorgeous
"Look at God"
