9 Month Lock Update | What I am Learning in the Teenage Lock Stage

Hey Mocha Family,

I get a little introspective during this video, but I really wanted to talk about where my hair peace comes from. I have noticed that once we reach our natural hair goals, and master working with our hair, we can get bored. I am very familiar with that restless feeling of wanting a change or being tired of the routine and styling patterns we've established. The flip side may be struggling to ever come to a place of satisfaction with grooming and styling and concluding that natural hair just isn't working. I'd like to save anyone who is struggling the trouble of making the mistakes I did. At the end of the day, I prefer my natural hair even when it has meant transitioning and big chopping multiple times.

I hope you enjoy the video!

Be blessed!

I tried snap clips, and moved to velcro barrets when the clips slid out. I bought a different head band for every outfit. Meanwhile her curls continued to wind tighter and tighter. I kept everything in a pretty box, dubbed the hair bin . I was really frustrated at not b...
