Intro to my DREADLOCKS

I've decided to document the progress of my dreadlock journey, in hopes of it being an inspiration to myself as well as others. I figure it would be a good way to note personal trial and error, and if this set doesn't work out, I'll have a better idea of what not to do with my next set.(Really) Dreadlocks are Soo for me! I have been "a loose" natural since 2001, but since 'locking, the love for my hair and freedom in style choice has reached record heights!!!   

With dreadlocks, my hair and I are finally compatible....can I say that? .....well, it's true!

 Here's a glimpse of where I started.The last time I put a comb to this scalp was on the night of Dec. 28, 2011. I started my DIY locs  with combcoils, using ECOStyler olive oil gel.

See how the back of my hair was fighting the product? lol

 I started with 123 locs (oh yes I counted, I had a  lot  of time on my hands and I simply couldn't keep my fingers out of my hair :)Somewhere along the way, I started really digging thick and chunky locs, and I decided to combine in my  4th month. Boy was I glad I did!! My final count was 50 even. Although I still have a few supermodels in the mix, my full-figured favs make them almost impossible to spot. hehe! I've also included some artsy photos of my thick locs, Enjoy!

BTW, I am 7 months into my loc journey, and approaching 5 months into my pregnancy journey, I am so grateful to God:)
