Lock Journal

July 25Th Marked the day I started locking my hair. So it has now been 6 days and I think everything is going pretty good so far. I pretty much have just backcombed all my hair and used very very little product. I didn't do it all in one day either. I did it over a span of three. I am doing it all by myself hints why I am taking my sweet time. I had done some research about locking my hair on the Internet, some articles useful, others not so much. It isn't hard, just time consuming so far.

My husband didn't like the idea of me locking up all my beautiful long hair! He loved my long hair. But he supports my decision and doesn't dislike my hair now. I think it is growing on everyone. I didn't go out in public until two days ago and I couldn't stop laughing. I find it amazing how entertained ppl are by hair. If they ask, I tell them that I have wanted to dread my hair for some time now. So about 17 months ago I decided to grow out my hair and when I feel the ich to cut it short I will dread it instead. That is exactly what I did. So why dread. I went with my gut feeling. No need to understand, that is just what it is. :)

Well I have a few dreads still in my hair! My scalp got so dry it was driving me crazy. Very uncomfortable. So I decided to de-dread my hair and I will now be cutting it short soon! So it all worked out! I just want some care free hair that I don't have to spend so much time on! I still have the back of my hair to un-knot so I am still a dread head, I might keep them, not sure yet. <:
