I am currently growing out my perm... However, I don't want to do the BC. I am on a spiritual journey to natural beauty/rastafari. It was great viewing your page on your natrual hair journey and inspirational.... i don't want to cut my hair yet... because i am still singled and many men would not understand.... "my dating" life would drastically change!" However, I am growing out my perm through buns and cornrows. When i have a good length... i will begin sister locs. I currently have a lot of hair breakage at the nape of my hair and my edges are starting to thin. Do you think when I grow my hair out natural... that these areas will grow back? Do you have any tips during my transition?

i really love what all of you have done to form a more simpler way of getting locs. i dredded having cut 4 years of loc maintenance and growth, months after. now after seeing you alls images, have likely reawakened the pure essense of Ausar, Aset and Heru. i'm regrowing mine, peoplz. 4real Uhuru!

umm i like the shirt and your hair and your size. im working on losing more weight. can u tell me a few healthy things u eat.

*pumps fist in the air*

That shirt is the hawtness!

You look GREAT, Loc mentor!

I happened upon your naturalfreedomjourney.com site today which documents your initial "Big Chop" in February '01. Looking at your plight has given me the courage I needed to embark on the same Journey. I was due to get my perm trimmed back today but looking at your pics has inspired me to get the "Big Chop" as well. My hair is short so I too will be wearing a TWA. Hopefully it won't seem too drastic and I go into shock...lol... Anywho, thank you so much for sharing your journey with the world. Your locs are absolutely BREATHTAKING. I too will document my journey in hopes that I will inspire someone as you have inspired me.

Take care,
Stella

LOVE SELF FIRST!!! The rest will follow...

thanks sooooooooooo much for starting me on my journey to loc-dom. Your hair still looks great. Now Im thinking about combining my locs.

BTW you look cute

You are truly an inspiration. i made what I thought was the big cut knowing full and well my index length hair was still too straight. In the midst of reading your story I decided to cut it all off. Once i have hair again I will definitely get locs. thanks for sharing your story

Very pretty picture.

SWEETIE I GOTTA SAY IS I LOVE IT ALOT I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF DO I WANNA LOC OR KEEP WEARING MY DRY TWO STRAND TWIST , HOWEVER JUST FROM LOOKING @ THE STAGES I WAS LIKE WOW!!!!!. QUESTION DID U START UR OWN LOCS FROM DAY ONE? CAN U PLEASE EMAIL ME BACK ON SOME TIPS ON WHAT I SHOULD DO?

hi:

your journey has been a blessing to me. Today, my hair looks like yours did 5 years ago. I just got my hair twisted and i wanted to take them down but i am going to try and stick it out. Believe it or not I have been trying to get to this point for about 4 years. Making the decision to go natural is a tough decision. Society puts alot of pressure on us to stick to the European way of doing things. You have proven to me that it can be done and that it is worth it !! When I saw the t-shirt that was the icing on the cake.

Be Blessed!!

Yeah what she said. Is this not Lady Cherie of the Washington state bunch? ;-)

im so glad i found your fotki! you are an inspiration as always!

blessings to you!

Where do you sell your merchandise? Your sites are an inspiration!
