I've heard a few comments about my locs in the last month that I'd like to share.
1. I mentioned to my sister that my son was using my clarifying shampoo. She responsed, Why do you need shampoo, I thought you didn't wash your hair. Really?
2. A 60 year-old white woman who works in my building asked, "Are those braids?" I told her that they are similiar to braids but they are locs. She replied, "I've never seen anything like it". I'm not sure how she meant that but I took it as a compliment.
3. A co-worker/friend who works at a different site saw me at a monthly meeting. She is latina and stated years ago that she doesn't like braids. In the past, she has only commented on my hair when it was straightened. So last month, she commented that she liked my hair, that my pulled back on one side style was sexy, and that my hair was getting long. That was a lot coming from her.
Here what I'm working with now:
