New Beginnings

This year for Juneteenth I cut my hair. My locs were down to my butt and it felt a bit too heavy to handle so for the second time since starting my loc journey in 2005, I trimmed my locs to just about 4 inches. Actually I cut them to just about the same length of Phoenix’s hair length as he also is beginning his loc journey so we can grow them together. I feel free, I feel a weight literally lifted off my shoulders. I can see the surprise on everyone who knows me face when they notice. I even had to remember how to put shirts on the regular way instead of trying to fit over my loc bun lol. Change feels good, and for some may be scary but I embrace it. At the end of the day its just hair that will grow back, and as fast as mine grows I’m sure it won’t be long before its right back down my back.
