Obsession

Last weekend my friends and I attended Summer Jam outside Cologne, Germany. Like at any reggae event it was locs galore. Everywhere you could spot women and men with locs. From the shortest starting out locs to the longest past the knees (no lie!) locs. Since Silver-Straw was one of the friends there with me and he's still at the start of his loc journey, we did a lot of loc spotting together. I saw the most beautiful women with perfect locs in cute hair do's as well as men with "manicured locs" down their backs. I saw people of European descent with crazy raggedy looking locs as well as some with beautifully formed locs.

Even before Summer Jam I was researching locs. It is a style I love and haven't tried yet. I've always said I'd loc my hair when it turned gray a la Toni Morrison. But right now I'm playing with the thought of starting my own locs journey. This would mean a serious commitment and lots of patience. Patience is my greatest life lesson, so maybe locs would be totally suitable for me, lol.
Since I'm at home sick I've spent a lot of time on YT the last two days.

Don't be confused, there are styling options for locs as well, which make them very appealing to me.

One thing that I've thought of, actually two things. But one thing is that I haven't found anyone on YT yet with a similar curl pattern to mine, it would be nice to see someone with a similar curl pattern to see results. Not that I doubt that my hair could loc! When I was younger my mom somehow didn't detangle my hair right and it got matted into one huge flat loc thingy on top of my head. My hair can definitely loc, lol!  

Another thing I have thought about is how I need to cut down on products if I decide to loc. I won't need as many products, and will probably not be able to do reviews in the same extent as I do now. Especially not in the starting out phases of my locs. Which actually would be like rehab, lol. 

Here's a cute vid for Loc Appriciation Day which was on June 23rd. 

I'd love to hear from you guys, what do you think? Should I loc??
