So for about two hours last night(it's 2:04AM) I got the strongest urge to get locs. I just had this overwhelming feeling of anxiety. My hair is itching and needs to be washed and the thought of detangling and the stress of putting my hair up in plaits and styling just made me ridiculously anxious. I love changing styles but I don't really like stying - especially box braids which take forever now that my hair is getting longer. Honestly, I'm not that good at styling (eg cornrows) either and my styles only look neat for about three days.Anyway, I save a LOT of images of hairstyle. I mean a LOT. I take many pictures of magazines etc. There is probably an illness for this habit.
Anyway, I realized that I have over 100 style variations for loose hair. Some are updos but they can all be done in under 20 minutes. Most in as little as 10. They include braid-outs and updos done from braid-outs, blow-dried hair and simple updos done on blow-dried hair etc.
In conclusion, there is probably no way I'll get locs. I really love changing styles and my loose hair too much. I also love the versatility of loose natural hair a bit more. it's great for many people. I guess right now it's just not right for me!
You all are in for a LOT of new styles...
