September 1st, 2011!!!: My locs are BORN :D !!
After all this waiting and contemplating on when i should get my locs done, I just couldn't take it anymore!! I just had to get my locs done. Plus I thought it was so ridiculous of me to be complaining about how bad I wanted my locs and not doing anything about it.
So anyways I went out and bought the locking gel (a pic will be posted soon) and just started the process.
So from the amount of youtube i have been immersing myself in I've come to learn that there are more than 1 ways to start your locking process. But the 3 most common ways to start them are:
1) comb coils/finger coils
2) two-strand twists and,
3) braid locks
the method i used was method number one :) I used the first method mostly because i liked how it looked hehe :) !!
Everyone always tells you that when you are parting your hair, make sure they are need and precise. Thats all fine and dandy for them, I can't lie my grid pattern is abit off. By that i mean my parts not the neatest, but thats cool....its gives it character LOL!! Plus I like it about unruly. I mean some people like really manicured locs and some don't I'm in between. I don't worry too much about the parting much. I just want the process started, and to finally say I got me some locs lol.
So yea, here are some pictures of my starter locs :) Theres not much i can do with it other than just waiting for my hair to loc. So going through this process it will definitely teach me how to be patient, because.......... well i have no other choice but to be patient, lol :P Hope you enjoy this.
I'm also thinking about doing a few videos here and there. We'll see!

Anyways, another thing one needs to pay attention to, or take into consideration is the size of your locs, do you want big locs, skinny locs, medium size locs and so on and so forth.

Starting my loc journey!!
Okay Okay, your probably tired of me talking about how much i want to get my locs done haha! And how i'm always changing the date. Well I've made a decision about this. I'm going to start my locs tomorrow...if not then next week sometime!!
The only reason why i chose to wait until November was because 1) I wanted my hair to grow abit longer
2) I wouldn't know how to really start my locs/don't want to mess that up and,
3) I wanted a professional to do it
Well that all changed once i called around a few places today. I had not realized that it would cost so much just to get your locs started. I spoke to one lady over the phone saying that the price to get my locs done would be $300!!! Like WTF!! Another lady said it would cost $250 and up ( I hate when prices say and up lol) So basically if you want to get your locs done for the first time its between $100-$300 and up!! its crazy i know.
................................................................................................
I took out my yarn braids last night and washed my hair today. I started playing around in my hair and tried doing some comb coils. And they actually looked pretty good. If i don't have to work tomorrow then thats what i'll be doing. I'm really excited and i'll definitely be taking pics of the finished product!!
So until then
Have a good night!!
