How was your hair styled before you went natural or locked?
Relaxed (with a bob) then braids, but they slipped out, they were a hot mess! then fro, then locked.

What did you like/dislike about your previous hairstyle?
I HATED PERM BURNS!!!!!! while i like (brainwashing) the sleekness of a fresh burn oops perm, i hated the scabbies.

How long have you been natural/had locks?
natural -2 years
Loced almost 2 years

Why did you decide to go natural/grow dreadlocks?
I had just finished school and started working. it occurred to me that everyone else was natural and why couldnt i be! so one thanksgiving, i went under the knife. my hair dresser put a texturizer in to "soften my look" she thought that being natural was such a hard, masculine look...that did nothing to ease the transition. anyway, the fro grew and grew and i began to trust my hair enough to realize that it was a-ok! so after the fro, i loc'd it. i always wanted locs and i think its about learning patience and temporarily sacrificing vanity to respect yourself. i thank myself everyday.
