CHAEBEE'S NATURAL JOURNEY: I pulled out the Baby Locs :(

For those who had read my last post you would have seen the urge expressed in my post to "do things " with my hair. Regular things like combing,washing etc. Especially washing, seeing that I really do love to wash my hair as Much as a fish loves to swim in water (more like has to, lol). Well...I pulled them out. It has been about a week since I had done that (apparently a long time since I have been on here too, sorry :/ ) and my hair is now in a protective style. A lazy one to go along with how I feel about my hair right now. To be descriptive; my hair is in two french twists to the back of my neck with a headband over them..cute with a touch of nerdy.

I pulled out the baby locs with mane n tail detangler and a shower comb and I must say that mane n tail detangler is just awesome! It made it soo easy to pull them out, even though to my surprise the roots of the locs had already started locking up after just two weeks since installment :O Yes the locs were doing well in their VERY young stage. It kinda sucks that I pulled them out and It took me about 2 days to do so, with many breaks in between.

You may be wondering how I feel since I have pulled them out and to be honest? I have mixed feelings. My problem is that I seem to want both worlds; loose long hair AND locs (smh). I love the look of locs, especially when styled . Not to mention the ease with which it grows and how they only get even more beautiful with each additional inch they get. The only downsides to me are the facts that: the initial start up can be a mental trial, they are permanent and you will be walking around with all your shed hairs.

But, on the other hand I love natural hair and the versatility it provides if the person knows how to deal with it. Your can be straight one day, wavy another and in an afro-style on yet another. There is so much your able to do with it. I didn't even mention the multiple braid styles available to rock. The only downsides here are: the maintenance can be tedious, growth may(or may not) be harder to achieve also due to maintenance and styling can take some time.

In short I will be stock between both worlds. If I get locs I will miss having free flowing hair and crave long natural loose hair. On the other hand If I get long natural hair, there will still be times when I will crave the unique beauty of hair locs. So you see that there is no satisfying myself fully in the hair department, lol.

So I a back on my previous transitioning journey and the only plans I have for my hair right now is to put in some Poetic Justice braids. I have someone in mind to do it. But when or if I get them done you will be updated with pictures...I promise.
