I can't believe it's been almost 4 months since I put my baby locs in! I am a little surprised that I have managed to keep them in this long, but I haven't really missed my loose hair that much.
I was going to add some commentary about the loced life, perceptions, politics, and philosophy but I am tired. Maybe tomorrow.
Due to my baby locs, I have changed up my routine a bit.

I thought that I would miss my loose hair more.
I put my twists in June 23 and except for a few that I redid to make the sections neater and make the sizing a little more even, I haven't had my hair loose since.
I thought that I would have missed my fro or at least playing in my loose hair. But it hasn't happened yet.
I am a little frustrated with my baby locs - I have never been fond of my shrunken twists because my shrinkage is pretty extreme - my twists are 2-3 inches long now and my loose hair is a lot longer than that. As a result, I'm having a little more trouble getting my hair to lay just the way I like it.
