Here are the top 5 things I am looking forward to experiencing once I have locs. If I could sum these points into one word it would be FREEDOM!
#5 Being done with protective styles that include weaves
Don't get me wrong- I have enjoyed my weave-based protective styles, but I am just over the installation and take-down process of it all.
#4 Simpler hair maintenance routine
My routine is already pretty basic. I jokingly say that my hair is in witness protection, but I am looking forward to an even simpler routine. Along the same note, I am excited that said maintenance will be performed by someone else!
#3 Exercise friendly hair
I sweat...a great deal. I am not a cute exerciser. To be able to take my headband off and shampoo/rinse my hair at will (eventually). Yes- sign me up for that action!
#2 Wake up and go hair
Need I say more?
#1 Wearing my hair "out" more often
When my hair was super long, I never wore it out. I didn't want to pineapple, re-twist, detangle, etc. So I tucked it away in protective styles. Locs will give me the flexibility to wear and enjoy my hair more.
