So.....I cut the locs off, yep I did it! I have been having this strong urge to cut them for a while now...mind you, this is like the 3rd time I have done this, but I think they served their time quite well. I just had an urge to play around with my loose natural kinks and curls again. I use to wear my hair very very short, and then I grew it out quite a bit, so now I am doing it again. My goal however is to wear it in a loose curly/kinky blowout. I don't quite know what it was, but all it took was one post from Andre of Fly Girls: http://flygirls.typepad.com/fly/2008/06/hair-repair.html#comments, and I was like, yep, I am going to go ahead with the plan!

So it was like 3am and I couldn't even sleep just thinking about it, so I popped up and started chopping. it always feels so good to start anew! I think it is important to not get stuck in a comfort zone, so I think my spirit was just asking for a little change. Right now though it is driving me crazy, because I am not the one for short hair, I like playing around with styles, and it is nowhere near that point...I give it about 6-8 months.

I pretty much keep it wrapped now, and once it grows out I will start styling it a bit more. I definitely have to get a good blow dryer for the days I plan to blow out....any suggestions/tips from the natural beauties out there on styling, blowing out, and defining/loosening really tight curls...naturally????
