LOCS ON THE JOB....

Don't let people fool you into thinking that just because you have locs, you can't look presentable and that it will affect your job interviews...

Believe me, I have been to so many in the last months and from what I've seen, keep it neat and do your work right --and things will pay off. People love confidence, good presentation and the ability to sell your Self well...

For those who want to say that there locs made them fail, then I see that as an excuse.

Its a good feeling to walk in, look smart and still be my Self.

THE SMOOTHER LOCS ARE...

I notice that the locs that have the most bumps on them are the ones I kept tampering with as they were slowly locing...

All my top locs are bumpy, whereas my bottom locs aren't -- And I always used to mess around with the top ones while the bottom ones were left to do their thing...

So I'm glad I'm not touching or manipulating new growth to my locs, Maybe they'll smooth out now...

And if they don't --who cares! I love them anyways.

LONDON LOC HEADS... I SEE YOU!

Now that I spend most of my time travelling around central London, I am so amazed to see how many loc heads are out there... from all races and walks of life.

I sometimes find my Self being stared at, or the occasional smile from another loc head passing by...

Just yesterday, I was hard at work doing my promotion work when this girl from another company, doing promotion too, was taking every opportunity to just stare at me... And she had the biggest thickest shoulder length locs I had ever seen... They were literally exploding out under the hat she wore and curtained her face, very beautiful!

"Let these plants be peace" ... those words come back into my mind.
Its a good feeling to see others out there... from all races feeling the vibe.



And yes... I am obsessed with hair lol!
I can't help it! I have a case of serious loc love.

NO TO DIRT

At the bus stop, and I saw this man with long long locs, completely coated with something hard (I'm thinking wax) and it wasn't a pretty sight! The wax was covered in dirt. Now he wasn't a bum or anything like that, he was a clean cut guy who looked like he was on his way to work or something...

And people were subtly looking from his locs to mine, probably wondering if mine were dirty too!

Now this is what I have an issue with...I can accept any type of locs -but DIRT?!?
Sorry, I can't take the false assumptions that dirt will loc hair up, or wax.

After a topic I read, I realised just how careful we should be with what we use on our locs... I don't regret experimenting, but some of the products did leave my locs at the bottom with build-up which took time to remove.

And in the long run, I notice that the more simple the routine, the better the loc health.

Dirt is not an option.

PICS OF LOCS - AN INSPIRATION TO THICK LOCS

When my locs get longer, I want them looking like this:





Many times, I have asked my Self if I want to cut my locs in half and get thinner locs...then I look at these pics and know that I still want my thick locs.

I'm in that funny stage where its not short, but its not long.

So I'm just hoping to get on the long side very soon.

I have seen many friends with locs of 10 years + and all have told me that if you want healthy locs when they are long and aged, be sure to keep 'em thick. Most of them have slowly joined their locs over the years so the locs have gone thicker, then cut the thin ends when they were ripping off.

HAVING FUN WITH HATS AGAIN...

OCT. 1ST - 3 YEARS AND 2 MONTHS!

Got all my hats out again, the cold weather is back so I'm looking out for more ways to jazz up these locs. OK, so I hate styling it, so the next best thing is getting a nice hat or headwrap on.

I can just tell this Winter is gonna be a killer!
