On Saturday, I began my microlocs journey. For the next 6 weeks (or perhaps a bit more), I’ll be letting my hair do its thing before I get it washed and retwisted!
I am eager to see what my hair will do–how it’ll lock up. I’m SUPER excited, and I almost cannot contain myself!
Jernee is a little thrown off, but I smell the same and I sound the same, so overall, she’s good. My cousin, Akua, gets all the credit for this. We endured 8 hours on Saturday, (with 2 breaks) and 5 hours today (Sunday: with 1 break) to make this happen.
She’s amazing at what she does in her creativity with hair, and now, I can say my hair is one of her creations.
I’ll be doing a few articles about this journey; how my hair is growing, what I am expecting (and experiencing), and the chemical-free products, I’ll eventually be using to care for my hair.
I look forward to this next phase of my life, and I am happy to be taking on a process I’ve envisioned for years for my hair.
Stick around and grow with me.

I had no idea that it was such a long process! Excited for you. 🙂

This is so wonderful, especially that you are sharing the experience with someone close to you! Poor Jernee has never witnessed a metamorphosis before, but she’ll be happy knowing you’re happy! 💜

Thank you, Sun! Lol. It’s been a long time since I’ve had something different than a short haircut. It was like a year or two before I got her.
We’ll experience it together. Lol.

Thank you! Haha! I imagine many people will probably have to do just a wee bit of research to get what I am speaking about. I’ll keep you all updated, though throughout this entire process.
And, thank you, Peter!

I'm bald, but I've really gotten into growing my beard out of late!

the funny thing about beards is that so many men live their entire lives without knowing what their beards look like!

Three of my brothers cannot grow a full beard. Lol. It’s so funny. They just can’t. So, they barely have facial hair. My other two brothers can grow full beards; they can get to a point of having a ton of facial hair, and it looks great on them.
They are my stepbrothers, though.
What’s weird about the three of my brothers who cannot, our father had a full beard when he was in high school, and these men can’t even get a full one going in their early to mid-30s. They have plenty of hair on their heads, though. And so does my dad and he’s in his early 60s.
As I think back, the men I’ve dated all had beards except for one. Lol.

Eight hours? On one day? I don’t see how Akua didn’t get cramps in her fingers. Good luck on your journey. I went chemical-free 7 years ago. Getting used to the transition was an interesting and arduous process. I didn’t do braids or locs, but the process was indeed a journey in itself. It continues to be! LOL Good luck! 🥰😊🤗
