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.
