Sooooo…. as we like to say, I did a thing. 😁 After 6 years, 9 months and 3 days, I made a very big decision. On 12/13/2020, I cut my locs off. Shocking to some, it was a decision I had been contemplating for a long time now; and the year I’ve had prompted a…

#ConfessionsOfALocdGoddess: The Water Retwist
So last night, I did a quick retwist on my hair, because these COVID roots were not cute anymor, ok? It wasn’t my best work, but it got the job done and I only used two key things: water and oil. I had my gel ready, and as I started, I quickly decided that I…
Confessions of a Loc’d Goddess: My Daughter’s Journey
For a long time, my daughter and i have had a love/hate relationship with her hair. She’s always had very beautiful, thick, curly hair. I would enjoy playing in her hair; but wash days were something we would both dread. Between her screaming at the thought of me even wanting to put water on it,…
Self-Care Sunday: A Full-Circle Cleansing
Good morning everyone! Here I am with another post dedicated to increasing your self-care arsenal. Today, my highlight will be cleansing; mind, physical, body and spirit.

A Little Loc Appreciation
It amazes me when people see my hair and say they love it. I’m like: “really? Today of all days when I need to moisturize, wash and retwist?” Edges look all kinds of disrespectful but people love it. I guess I’m taking care of it pretty well! Shoutout to all the beautifully loc’d men…
#ConfessionsOfALocdGoddess: My Tips for Healthy Growth
No one set of locs is the same, but I do feel as a natural hair community, there are several things that we can all learn from each other that keep one common goal in mind: strong, healthy hair. On the 11th, I will be at month 29 for my locs. I’ve noticed in recent…
Summer 16: Bucket List
Since summer is finally upon us (officially according to my calendar), I am creating a summer bucket list. I am going to live life this summer, despite the previous summers where all I do is work and don’t enjoy life. So, here goes. Hit a water park, or 2. Go to the beach, several times…
#ConfessionsOfALocdGoddess: Just Because
Because y’all haven’t seen the amazing-ness that is this hair in a while. I love my hair most when it has more of the burgundy-copper-ish color to it. And this hang time is getting ridiculous. I’m loving every second of this journey, y’all just don’t know!
