Well, it's here! The two year mark. I can't believe it's been 2 years since I started my locs. I love them more and more. The freedom is indescribable. I've gone through a lot of changes with my locs. For one, I colored them black. I just grewweary of the two-toned colors and in the past, my hair STAYED black. I missed that. I DO have to get another kit to do the back because I was hard-headed and instead of buying two, I bought one and began to run out when I got to the rear of my head! So, I must purchase another to finish the job. But I do love the deep, rich color of my darker locs!

I notice that lately, my locs have been "crawling" a lot after shampooing. I mean, it's like VELCRO or something the way they stick together! But they are less fuzzier (still fuzzy, just less) than they were and they are nice and solid and seem to be starting to condense. I'm sure by next year, they should be considered to be fully mature (I guess!)

I've combined some of my locs because I wanted them a little larger than they were. Not only that, but I wanted the sizes a little more uniform. Before, I had many varying sizes; the largest being about the size of a pencil. So, I have combined most of the smaller ones so as they grow out, the locs will be more uniform in size.

These last shots (the two immediately above and the one below) are of my hair after having freshly tightened and shampooed my hair. I did this to show how the water weighs the locs down, showing more of the actual length before it draws back up when dry.
