It has been amusing to see how much information on 'braid locs' locs etc is on the internet. People are now deciding and or judging what is actually dread locs and or locking of your hair. Who's to say anyone is right? Now how you wear your natural hair, locs, natural hair, short to huge afros has a politically correct and or incorrect way/style? Give me a break! I started 'braid locs' back in 2003 when hardly anyone was actually wearing dread locs well not as many as they are today. Now it's a trend and along with trends there is always the so called 'right' way and or 'wrong' way of doing something. This is how it will go for me. I like to wear my hair the way I like to wear it. You can look at me, stare me up and down and judge me all day long if you like because either way I'm going to do me. "Your hair is cute...but I wouldn't wear my hair like that." Really? Well that's good for you and wait a minute who in the hell asked you anyway. This is the same old crap that anyone who's doing them and being different than the next will get from those who like it but have to also point out that they wouldn't do it as if you gave an ish about what they do to their own hair. Get your life people. The only reason why I'm ranting and raving is because of the many blogs I have stumbled upon about the different styles and the status quo on locking your hair, per dread locs, sister locs etc. As far as I am concerned there is no right or wrong way of doing it. Today it is so hard to be unique but when you are you get admired and or the nice nasty it's cute but I wouldn't wear my hair like that, I wouldn't do that etc. You wear your hair and or your hair will wear you and if you have a distinctive, unique style that represents who you are as an individual than I give you props.
