Why Rock Locs?

The question: Why do you rock locs? The answers...




THIS IS WHO I AM!
Monica, a Nubian Princess. Royalty, because I Am a Child of The King.  J.Moss started my locs in 2006. I cut the chemical out of my hair because it had me and my hair in bondage. It denied me from representing my culture, and heritage, and it kept my hair from being free. Nappy is the culture and heritage of my people, so now I live it by allowing my hair to be free.  My Locs makes a statement that it's ok to be Nappy because our Creator is Nappy with His Hair of Wool. My Locs demand attention everywhere I go because I dare to be Natural and Different.  This is who I am, Monica, Naturally Beautiful and Happy to be Nappy.








I rock locks cause they had stocks in us and and had us on slave blocks. Many of us hug the neighborhood blocks, but I chose to embrace my brown face and and the way my hair intertwines like electrical lines. It's just love yall... ~ Mecca








They speak to me and for me. I believe a woman's hair is her glory no matter what state it's in. How much more glorious can you get than loving yourself in your natural state? ~ Yvonne









They are a representation of who I am...NATURAL & LOVIN IT! ~ Ishanna









It is the way God meant for my hair to be....I say this to my son all of the time... ~ Zulumama






I simply do not want to comb my hair into submission on a daily basis and locs allow me to look beautiful while protesting the comb.

I wanted to appear different than the next light-skinned sista. In radio, you must create your own identity in order for your audience to point you out in a crowd. There were a few light skinned sistas here and we all looked alike. I was the one who stepped up and cut my hair off to start a new look. ~Ki Ki










I've wanted them for a long time. I've always been an admirer. After being natural for a little over a year I decided to lock. I love them; they are really low maintenance but can be dressed up for those formal occasions or when I just want to be cute. ~ Shonda

I refuse to lye to myself. My hair is perfect just the way it is. ~ Franchesca









I studied the books of Numbers, Deuteronomy and Judges in the Helios Biblios. In that I found that Jesus as well as John the Baptist and Samuel were of the Nazarite Order and grew locks as a means of showing their dedication to God. No scissors, no comb, no vanity. As an Afrakan woman that meant even more to me because vanity has been a source of confusion for the Afrakan worldwide, leading to much sickness (mental, physical, and spiritual) and less love. So I sought to take the stance of humble and strong and make it fly! ~Nya










It allows me to remain natural and unique  with many more styling options







For God. I realized I have been brainwashed to believe there was something wrong with natural hair. I learned to embrace who I am. For God made me and He makes no mistakes. ~ Lox4God
