The Beginning: Embracing My Natural Hair

 My Loc Journey – The Beginning: Embracing My Natural Hair

I wasn’t always this confident in my locs. In fact, I spent years battling with my hair, trying to fit into society’s narrow standards of beauty. Straight, sleek, manageable—that’s what I thought I needed to be. But the truth was, the more I tried to fit in, the more disconnected I felt from my roots, both literally and figuratively.

For years, relaxers, weaves, and endless flat ironing were my routine. It wasn’t until I realized the damage I was doing to my hair (and self-esteem) that I knew something had to change. That’s when I started to explore natural hair, and eventually, I fell in love with the idea of wearing locs.

Locs symbolized freedom—freedom to be unapologetically me, to embrace my heritage, and to nurture my hair in its natural state. Starting my loc journey was about reclaiming my hair on my terms, and it felt empowering. It was a journey toward self-love, but I quickly learned that locs require care, attention, and, most importantly, moisture.

As I began researching how to care for locs, I realized that keeping them moisturized would be the foundation of healthy, beautiful locs. That’s when I found Moisture Love, and my loc care routine changed for the better. Stay tuned, because in the next post, I’ll share exactly how Moisture Love has become the cornerstone of my loc maintenance.
