Threaaaaady's in looooove

Loving this thread. I grew my locs for 12 years and it was one of the most important choices that I've made. Like Rhondab said in her poem, they hold energy and connect you more to nature/the universe. It really is a spiritual thing. Kept having dreams that I was supposed to cut them, and eventually I did. I dont regret it, cause I still carry that energy and the lessons learned with me(friends still call me dread), but some of these pics have got me all .

over the weekend, I had this overwhelming feeling that I need to cut mine in the next couple of years. Like this era, time, journey is coming to an end.

actually last night/yesterday i had a really rough one (again!)
family woes, money worries, all that

and my hair was a MESS!

so my therapy for the day was to go through and appreciate each one on my locs, twist them up and make them all nice

turns out, i ended up braiding them all together (6 to a braid) and they'll be all bouncy and crimpy by friday (they probably are already there by now but i want my hair to look extra special on friday - friday's a special day )


i really love my hair like this


P.S.: i look like an absolute dumbass right now tho, with huge braids sticking out everywhere

Rhondab said:

no matter what you choose you're still beautiful anyway

sammij said:

thanks lil sis....we'll see. they are getting so long, they are a tad annoying.

Rhondab said:

Now you KNOW that big ass head of yours is gonna like.....um.....well.....

My hair is my strength
my power and might
seek not to kid
what you know not
but understand the blessing
of my loc

My beauty is profound
my dark skin addresses
the lack
of awareness
of my Godly stance
seek not to kid
what you know not
Understand the blessing
of my loc

I AM a Goddess
Divinely created
Beauty of the Soul
Melanin and nappy hair
blessings from above
seek not to kid
what you not
Understand the blessing
of my loc

Ignorance abounds
as you laugh secretly
Your mockery
confirms
That I AM
has made me perfect
so as you continue to seek to kid
My locs continue to grow
and manifest the power
of the Divine
Understand I AM
The blessing....and not just my locs.

My sister likes to threaten to cut hers whenever she gets bored w/ them, I'mma be mad @ both of y'all They're just so beautiful, I've never had the urge to cut mine OFF, but I have trimmed it a few times. When it starts to hit near your waistline it's a damn hazzard

CalhounSq said:

a friend of mine...his locs are super long. his about to his waist but he trims them all the time. He thinks its creepy for a guy to have hair that long.

We'll see. I may want to cut them and start over. I don't know.


thanks Eccentric.


; unkempt

I've never worn locs , I used to wear cornrow braids alot but then I decided to wear a TWA instead.
