I do have a few pictures from when my locs were younger, but my scanner is on the fritz. Maybe I can add some later. But for now, here are some recent photos taken with the webcam.
I love my hair. When it was chemically treated, I did not love my hair and it did not love me. My hair looked awful. It was thin and malnourished. All these years my hair has been trying to reject the perm and I continued to submit it to torture. Now days my hair and I are on good terms. We love each other.
I started my locs in March 2001, shortly after the birth of my first child. Having locs is truly a spiritual journey. As I learned to love my hair, I also learned a greater love and deeper respect for myself as the Lord made me. And above all things I have learned PATIENCE. Patience is a virtue in all aspects of life. Whether it has to do with taking a deep breath when it comes to your "hard-headed" children (I now have two) or turning the other cheek when it comes to friends, relatives, and colleagues (they can be a headache). Patience will help you through, and keep us all from self destructive behaviors.
Love Your Hair, Love Yourself
There seems to be some type of hair revolution underway among the women in the black community. More and more I see black women sporting natural styles. Everything from the TWA to locs, braids, twists and all styles in between. It makes a sister proud to be a sister. If you know what I mean. Just think, black women all over the world accepting themselves and their hair in its natural state; every little nap, curl, wave, and kink... BEAUTIFUL!
