Getting ready 4 Family & Holiday Loc Thoughts ...

**NappilyT** · 11-05-2013, 06:22 PM

Playing around and I added 5 gold wraps to 5 locs around my edges. At first I felt like Frankenstein's bride but now it's growing on me and everyone else seems to think it's cute lol. I think the next time I try this I will braid it in, not wrap it, so that my natural color can tone this extension down a bit!

Side note: my locs are my friend, we will stick through thick and thin until the end! <3

I've been wearing the loc petals style for 3 weeks now. So in love with it. I did a wash over the weekend with the petals still in and even with a little shrinkage the style is still dope.

HI. I love those loc petals. You are wearing them well. Did you do those yourself? Are they as easy as the tutorials makes it seem? Did you use the black rubber bands? A loc buddie and I were just talking about doing that style on our locs. I was waiting for a special occasion. U go girl! Wow! and I can shampoo with them in too. I am so excited!(giggles) Peace and Blessings.

Yay! Are you enjoying the journey? I hope you keep that happy face that says yes. Peace and Blessings. 8 months is an accompishment. Are you fully loc'd yet?

my locs go through periods where they look either medium or thick.

Yes, they really were that easy. But maybe because she styles her hair more often than I do, but I swear it took forever! I didn't realize I had so many locs. I had to loop each one. So it took me a good 4-5 hours. Whew! And yes, I used the black rubber bands. A few came down after the wash, but I just looped those suckers right back up. I've gotten so many compliments (thank you btw) on this style that it will definitely be a keeper.

Okay, I have to take back my words, well, not really.... It IS cold, but I went on and did a plait-pin-up afterall. {Thanks Chescalocs }
It is tight though, and I mean that literally.
I wish I had some nice {silky/satin-type} scarves. Not the big headwraps, just the ones to go around the edges of my big 'ol head.

I'll be so glad once me and my mom finish putting all these braids in....I should be finished tomorrow. I said I was going to split them into smaller sections if I didn't end up with enough of them, but know that I'm mostly finished, I know that's not gonna happen- whatever number I end up with is it, we've been braiding since Monday!
