Dreadlocks??? Coming Soon!

New hair, who dis?

I can’t tell you when the desire first hit me, but I’ve wanted locs for well over 20-25 years.

I know people have strong opinions about them, and that’s your right, but I’ve never felt more like myself.

These are braid-ins, so I can try them out. If all goes well, I’ll be going permanent, and I can’t wait. #yolo

P.S. My daughter wanted to get locs, and she was cut down by people for it - told they were disgusting and that she’d regret it. Well, Momma decided she’d just get them done so she could see if she’d still want them. P.S.S. She helped put them in and loves them.

Hair is a huge source of pride for people. I understand that. For me, being willing to do something with my hair that was unconventional in terms of "typical" beauty for a caucasian woman helps me focus on other aspects of my life - such as my character. I'm not spending so much time worrying about what my hair is doing. It just does what it does.

I'm aware that I've been given the privilege to be able to "get away with" wearing dreadlocks, but to be fair, I'm not in the workforce either way. I'm a stay-at-home mom who's homeschooling her teenage daughter. If and when I return to the workforce, I'll only consider places that are open to it. They're not going anywhere.
