To Loc or Not To Loc?

That's the question with Tariku. He hates getting his hair combed in the morning, so when we was looking at pictures of various styles that would require less combing, he picked loc-ing.

I did lots of google searching and ascertained that I could probably pull it off, with a little help and a lot of concentration. I'm too cheap to pay someone to get it started (upwards of $75, no way!)

So that's what we did last night. Me with my pajama pants and he with his Leapster. It didn't turn out too bad. I actually used loc-ing gel stuff this time so I didn't have to do too much this morning to prepare it for the public. He was excited to show his friends.

Dailah asked me upon completion if, "When my hair turns black would you twist my hair too, please?" Though I didn't feel I could promise such a thing, I did promise I'd curl her hair today.

Anyway, we'll see how long this lasts. If this doesn't work I'm shaving it off, which he DOES NOT want. :)
