Well in my last post it sounded like it was all sunshine and peaches with the curls. The truth is, though I did in fact love them, my scalp really could not handle the process to get them. I have extremely sensitive skin and by extension a very sensitive scalp, so whenever I got the curl done over it was like torture. The last few times I got it done, I was literally shaking in the hairdresser’s chair. I began to dread salon visits and this along with other things pushed me to go back natural.
This big chop meant something else though. This time I would be getting locs for sure. I had wanted them for years, but two things in particular were stopping me from getting them. For one, the cost of sister locs and also my mother still didn’t quite approve. Now don’t go thinking I just rebelled and did what I felt like, she eventually relented this time and said it was my choice, but I would have to fund it. So off I went to my trusty laptop, and did my research. There I found several instructional videos on youtube for the interlocked method and there is no word that could describe my excitement.
Within a matter of weeks I was installing my microlocs! I initially installed them under my curled hair, but the curl activator made them walk out so I said to myself, ‘if I am going to do this, let me commit fully,’ and so, the curls fell to the bathroom floor!
