Whats up my lovely sisters. It has been a process and a journey that finally I have arrived at. My loc Journey, spiritual journey, life journey. I had been natural for 4 years, until I decided to relax my hair. As predicted, in another month I cut those relaxed ends off and let my roots shine through once again.

Before, I had thought about locking, but it just wasn't the right timing. I had to make sure I would be in the right place mentally, emotionally, and spiritually before I started locking.

I'm blessed and very thankful to say, now I'm there and the time has never been so right! *Internal Smile* I'm meditating more, praying more, learning my true worth and being the woman I've been envisioning. Sure, I'm still growing but now I'm ready to lock. But even before I had never worn my hair this short. Lately I've been wearing a mini afro, which I'm in love with and I feel amazingly beautiful. But I'm still opting to loc, simple because locs are beautiful and hold a spiritual meaning to me. Locs are the hairstyle for my soul.

But I need help, its not that I don't feel pretty with the twists, but I've never had my hair this short before. Its about 2-3 inches of hair on my head, and I feel different.
I'm not sure if I can pull this off. So my question is what did you have to tell yourself when wearing starter locs that showed scalp? Did any of you wear flowers or scarves, hats alot to play up the short style? Any suggestions?

I guess I just need some support and relateness. I'm ready to start the locking process and regardless I am couragous and I will rock the short baby twist, but I'd like to read some feedback from anyone who knows how I feel and has maybe experienced this stage.

Thanks much ymib.com Love and Peace, Success.
