Minimalist Beauty: Braidlocs

My braidlocs are a little over a week old above. August 2017.

Welcome to the next chapter in my minimalist beauty and natural hair journey: braidlocs. Besides when I was bald, this is the simplest my hair has ever been and I love it! 

I tried to grow locs with finger coils once before back in 2015, but I wasn't ready at the time. I wasn't ready mentally or emotionally to go through the "ugly" stage of the locing process. Two and a half years later, and now 7 months into this journey, I'm ready!

Almost 6 months. January 2018.

Starting my locs has been one of the most fulfilling things I've done on my minimalist transition. My locs are apart of a self-acceptance journey that I'm on and I talk more about it in the video below. Additionally, not having to think about my hair or spend hours maintaining it, is so freeing, which is the purpose of my minimalist journey.

In the video, I share about my braidloc experience while doing the Starter Loc Tag. Enjoy!
