Did my Locs grow? Hmmmmm.... It's been a whole year since my last length check and my regime I think has changed a little. I have been sticking more to the "Less is More" principle and I'm generally happier about the state of my locs. They are cleaner and feel much lighter even though they are longer. I'll save my current regime for another post entirely. Picture on the left is from Feb. 2015 and the one on the right is me currently Feb. 2016. My longest loc is shy of the 13" mark, however now that I think of it my length check tee may not be the most accurate way of telling if my hair grew or not as those folds around my sides may be changing the results. Ha Ha!!! My personal verdict is that my hair grew about 1 -2 inches at the very least, I notice the growth more around the sides, the taper on the left side of the pictures obviously changed a little. Phew!!!

Finding the perfect angle for the perfect selfie isn't always easy so I fooled around with my camera for a bit and I the pictures below are probably my best of about 15 X_X. Chunky Loc Twists Chunky Loc Twists and the Eye. Chunky Loc Twists. I'm tempted to write some more, but I guess that will just be repeating what I said in the video. This is it fellas, tell ...

Hey people, Glad to be writing again, I am learning to remember that blogging is part of the business :). Well it's the month of love and I wish you all lovely things but while we are that and not arguing over the current state of the economy  or the dollar to Naira exchange rate ; or if Baba Go slow is not indeed somewhat fast, I would like to discuss a very important Loc Head issue - Interlocking Vs Palm rolling. First lets define this two loc methods so no one is confused. Interlocking is the process of getting the hair to loc by passing the tip of a loc strand through the root using a latch hook, a tool or by hand. Palm rolling is the process of locking the hair by rolling them between the palms in the same direction. Let me also define what Traditional Locs are: Locs that are neither Free form, Sister locs, thick locs or micro locs are often referred to as traditional locs irrespective of their size. Now that that is clear, both methods a...
