This to every dreadlocked-girl and guy out there!

When born, your life becomes a puzzle that needs to be solved. Every year you get to fill a piece but there has always been the missing piece. All my life I have never imagined that the missing piece could be my hairstyle, and not just any hairstyle but the infamous dreadlocks. Why infamous? Because no one ever pictures a CEO of a billion-dollar company rocking dreadlocks. Stereotypes usually associate the hairstyle to a rowdy sect. My experience proves otherwise. I remember the chaos that came around the first time I put my locs, from friends, family and my acquaintances . It didn’t matter though , I can’t promise it was a thought through decision. All I can say is, I have never regretted. The problem is, we tend to be so mechanical about life. Just do what makes you happy! If I woke up tomorrow and didn’t want them, I would simply cut them..(no I’m just playing) ,I wake up everyday and I fall in love with them, It’s more than just hair for me. They are a part of me. I call them my babies.

If I’m being honest, at first I installed them for style. Goodness! I installed them also because I did not like combing my hair, I also detested the idea of relaxing my hair every two weeks. You get it. At the same time I had this amazing hair . I wanted a greater connection to them, to every strand. A spiritual connection to my locs, merely a connection to something bigger and outside myself through my locs. Dreadlocks represent purity, they are a constant reminder to the owner that they own force ,wisdom and are expected to generate goodness onto themselves and others. They are ropes that channel energy. It is my way of connecting to the universe. You would be shocked at how people are connected to their locs.

I’m all about hair texture. Texture is powerful. I thought installing locs would limit me. I was shocked at how just how limitless locks could be. Locs has it all through those many twists and curls and turns that are entangled to make a single rope! they hit a different vibration. Our hair texture is a part of who we are. I beg to differ with so many stereotypes. The more I learn about locs the more I am convinced there is so much more to it. You special to have them. Love your hair in whatever texture, colour , height, form. Rock your locs. You’re bold, powerful and glorious! Spread the word.
