Turning Tables

So I'm sure you are all noticing my hair. I have gotten myself loc extensions. I've been wanting locs for so long and every method I used I didn't stick with it. I figured if I paid for it, then I'd keep them in. They were done by Keisha the Loc Goddess here in Atlanta. She is amazing!!! I am more than excited and happy with the results. Please check her out if you are looking for a great loctician.

So back to my hair... these are permanent. I can cut them out when my locs get to a length I'm comfortable with or I could leave them in indefinitely. I actually wanna cut these into an asymmetrical bob. I will keep you guys (who are interested) updated on how they progress as I go through my journey.

DISCLAIMER: For those who are gonna say, "That's cheating" or "Those locs are not real"... keep it to yourself. My head, my business. I don't care how a woman goes natural. I respect every journey the same way and I expect you to do the same or again... keep it to yourself.

Here are a few pics that I fell in love with of my new babies! Enjoy!

Thank you guys so much. It was a hard decision for me because I respect the Loc process so much. But everyone has their own journey and here's mine. I'm luvin every minute of it. Excited to see the changes over time. Thanks for co-signing... a girl could always use the encouragement.

They look great! They really fit your look too. (& in the end they are still locs)

Your hair look great!

I'm a total creepy stranger from New York who is thinking about flying to Atlanta to have extension services done by Kiesha,

If you don't mind me asking how has the process been going for you? Have you noticed a lot of difference between your new growth and the extension locs? How has maintenance been? I'm looking to go to lower back length and would love any feedback you could share before I commit to the investment.

Thank you,

Deborah
