Ok, so I’m positive that I want to go forward with this dreadlock idea I came up with this past January. Back when it was time to make a New Year’s resolution I decided that I wasn’t just gonna come up with one objective goal, but instead simply dedicate the entire year to making small, sometimes invisible changes for the year that would benefit me from the inside out, therefore my motto for this year has been: Surrender 2010. Since then I have not gotten a relaxer/perm. More importantly though I am learning more about myself (selfish ambitions included), what I like and don’t like and who I am and who I really want to be, and lets not forget also how far I am off track.
Anyways, in order to obtain locs (I’ve learned that this is the proper terminology not “dreadlocks”) you have to start with “virgin hair”. This means that the hair must be natural, having never been chemically treated. Therefore as a loc lusting candidate I am forced to cut off all of the hair I have that has been previously relaxed/permed. This happens to be pretty much all but 2 inches, thus indicating “The Big Chop” that’s in store. As of now, I have no reservations and am looking forward to this liberating moment.

Ok so I got a date...a date from my hairdresser that is! I'm getting all of my hair cut off on the 29th of this month. I'll go back to get the locks initiated on October 10 ( 10/10/10) how cool is that!? Majorly excited to get this process started :)
ReplyDeleteI love my new haircut! Often I forget it even happened. All it takes is a glimpse as I walk pass a window or mirror. I'm so thankful I had the guts.
