It finally happened. I've heard about it, I've read about and it has finally happened to me. I woke up this morning a discovered I had a loc hanging on by a thin piece of hair. I kept telling myself "Oh my God, don't panic. Wait until your company leaves and go look in the mirror." As my friend sat on my coach chatting I was wondering what does this loc look like. I could feel that it was the one right above my ear at my hair line. As a matter of fact it was one of my favorite locs, because it was one of the longer ones. It seemed to be thick at the end and last time I checked it was doing well. My curiosity got the best of me and I excused myself from my company and RAN to the bathroom to check my loc. Shoot there is no saving this lock. I simply cut it off and laid it on the sink. It looked so lonely there at the sink. I looked at the hair left behind and it felt soft to the touch. Surprisingly I am not upset, I guess it is apart of the process. However, I wonder if I contributed to the demise of my dear loc. Did I roll my hair too much? Did I wear my head band too tight? I don't really know what caused this loc to break off but you can bet your lucky penny I will be discussing this with my consultant. Honestly there are some locs that are too small around the nape of my hair line. This is the second thinning lock I've had. Both were near the hair line. I may have her combine a few around that area to avoid breakage. Well this is all apart of the journey. Trust me it's not all roses and love all the time when it comes to this hair thing.
