I've been binge watching loc videos, educating myself ,on the sizes, parts, moisture care, do's and dont's etc. I've been wanting locs for the longest but I haven't done it bc of other people opinions/disapproval.

I think I will go ahead being a loose natural for now caz I do enjoy my various curly styles. I did see about 3 inches growth while they were twisted so I think I will do a protective twist style about every 3-4 months and leave for 6 weeks.
