shortest my hair has been since the day I was born lol

but I love it...it feels free. not having to put my hair up to take a shower..letting the water run over my head...the feel of a soft brush on my scalp for the first time in 15 years...

Cutting off your locs is so liberating
12705543, liberating as shit. you don't realize how much you are aware of your

hair until it's not there.

like there are entire hair-aware and muscle memory neck movements that i was able to just ditch immediately.

and it's as simple as slightly stretching your neck when you sit.

or subtly swinging your head when you put on clothes or are bending over.

i aint have to do none of that anymore.

it was so weird, this post reminded me of that.
12705552, yes!! thanks for articulating that
Posted by Damali, Thu Jan-22-15 11:42 AM
i still am hair-aware when putting on coats and jackets, as if I have to pull the hair out of the back of it, but i don't anymore...it's weird

Posted by deejboram, Thu Jan-22-15 02:19 PM
That seems the only reason why one would cut their locs around here.

You look goooooood tho sis.

Did your head feel lighter still?
Took me a day to get used to the lightness
And a week until I stopped freaking out when I touched my head and felt a q-tip instead of a janitors mop
12706261, lmao

thanks..yeah way lighter. lol @ janitor's mop. although mine feels more like a brillo pad than a q-tip
12706032, Did you save the locs?
Posted by Numba_33, Thu Jan-22-15 03:10 PM
Or are they slowly decomposing in a local NY state landfill somewhere?
12707084, I saved them. looking for somewhere do donate them

i saw a guy online in some old message board saying he takes them to make wigs for cancer patients, but i'm trying to reach out to see if he still does
12706202, Looks good.

When I cut mine (waist length), it took me all of 5 minutes to get used to it (had them for 10 years). I was *done* with having all that hair on my head.

Funny enough, the last time I cut my hair was when I cut my locs off in 2010. Got a nappy afro now. Are you gonna grow it out or keep it short? You can also rock some dope styles now, like a high fade, etc.
12707087, i'm gonna grow it out
Posted by Damali, Fri Jan-23-15 11:15 AM
and yeah, Lupita really inspired me to try some alternative styles. Hell, if i don't like them, i can always just chop it off real quick
12706565, Very nice
