BEAUTIFUL FREEFORM LOC SISTA'S

Hi Ladies & Gents,

Today Im feel'n some type of way. Let's just say, Im pondering on this hair freedom liberation thangy. Every once in a while I think about how far we have come with wearing our own natural hair. It is basically accepted everywhere now. There is still a few who have that stigma about it being nappy, kinky, ugly, yada yada ya, but most are coming around and starting to see the beauty of our hair. When you are able to project the image of who you really are, its such a beautiful & liberated thang. Some will say, well I think that when Im relaxed, wearing wigs or weaves, Im projecting that. Maybe but to me, those are somewhat of a mask, just like makeup. Yeah, you may look beautiful in your makeup, wig, or weave but being natural seems to bring out  that inner beauty and transcends almost everything about you.  You don't have to strip down from it. Do not get me wrong, this is not a bash on women who are not natural. As stated, Im just feeling my naps right now.

I remember wanting locs back in the 70's and yeah, I know Im telling my age but Im good with it. Anywho, you were disowned by society back then for wearing them. People could not grasp them except for a few. Yall already know what type of image was projected, especially through the media. My thoughts then and now are that, they were the most beautiful thing. The way they fell every which way, each one doing what it want. However, when you look at society now, I would say 7 out 10 people are sporting them, which is an awesome thang too me.  Also, of all the different ways people are wearing their locs,  I think freeform are the most intriguing! I say this because they are not what I call, "manicured." Those who wear them just let them do what they what. They remind me of a tree, with beautiful branches, extending from them. Well, take a look for yourself below. Hopefully, you will see what I see. Much luv, Peace!
