The Beginning of My Loc Journey

Updated: Sep 22


Why Microlocs?


Locking my hair represents a deep commitment to personal growth and spirituality. Letting go of chemical treatments like perming signifies a symbolic shedding of old habits and embracing a more natural, authentic self. Locking my hair is also a powerful expression of self-love and acceptance, honoring my roots and embracing the journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth. It serves as a daily reminder of my dedication to nurturing my inner self and living in alignment with my spiritual values and beliefs.


Microlocs offers a perfect balance between the size of traditional locks and sisterlocks, providing the versatility and low maintenance you desire. Microlocs allow me the benefits of locked hair while still having the flexibility to style and manage my locks easily. Their smaller size allows for greater versatility in styling options, whether you prefer to wear them down, in updos, or adorned with accessories. Additionally, the low-maintenance nature aligns perfectly with the desire to simplify your hair care routine, giving you more time and energy to focus on other aspects of your life, including your spiritual journey.


Where did my inspiration for locing my hair come from?


My inspiration to lock my hair draws from a rich tapestry of influences rooted in my environment and personal experiences. Growing up in Miami, Florida, surrounded by a diverse community where African Americans proudly embrace their natural hair, I was exposed to various hairstyles, including locks of different sizes and textures. Seeing individuals confidently wear their locks, from thick to thin, likely planted the seed of curiosity and admiration for this hairstyle.

 

Moreover, my mother's journey with locks was a direct and personal inspiration. Witnessing her commitment to wearing locks for seven to ten years, despite any initial reservations or challenges, provided a tangible example of the beauty and versatility of this hairstyle. Observing how her locks grew effortlessly and required minimal maintenance likely reinforced your desire for a hairstyle that aligns with your lifestyle and values. As I witnessed her locks evolve and grow, my appreciation for their beauty and simplicity deepened, ultimately sparking my decision to embark on my journey with microlocs.


Who's the stylist of my locs?


Danni of Danni Natural Touch LLC in Hialeah, Florida, is the skilled and talented hairstylist responsible for starting and maintaining my microlocs. Her expertise and dedication to natural hair care have played a significant role in shaping my hair journey. Danni provides exceptional hair services and creates her own hair products, such as the rose water I have personally used and love. I highly recommend her hair services and products to those in the area seeking professional hair care services and natural hair products.
