to what degree is it related to cultural reasons.

simply for me, this (twists/plats) is the most care free way to wear my hair. dreds need ALOT more care than i thought, and chemically processed hair prvents you from doing certain things.
i hate combing my hair, so i put some twists in it and wear it for about 4 months, tidying it every month or so.

steupss...no reason..
just fed up with the damn perm

For the most part, majority of the people I'm around either have locs or wear their hair natural. So after awhile, I decided I was going to do the same, just to try something new. As time passed, it began to mean something to me. I can say now it is conscious, its somewhat hard to explain and I think most people wont truly understand (especially when dey see a gyul with a wrap, sayin she conscious). But I feel more aware of myself and secure with myself. I honestly feel more beautiful and confident.

It's so funny that how when I was younger, I would be so fed up when the front of my hair would frizz up and beg my mother to relax my hair. Now when I see dem "frizzies", hmm, I does be like "Gyul yuh lookin too sweet!"..LOL

I love it!

Simply for style.

natural.....ah get lazi with it...so one rubberband...and ah good to go..

For both reasons! Our hair is so unique and beautiful!

very true to that! OUr hair can hold some braids in and make beautiful coils!!! I LOVE OUR HAIR!

To add! No other culture of women have our hair! Our hair has a story! You can tell what we are going through by our hair....it tells a story! I know mine does!

VERY TRUE

BUT THE REASON WHY I SAY CULTURE IS BECAUSE LOCKS IS A

SYMBOL OF ROYALTY AND OUR HAIR IS OUR STRENGTH,

ALOT OF PPL DO NOT REALIZE THAT GROWING LOCKS IS A

SPIRITUAL (SOME MIGHT DIS AGREE BUT ANYWAY) THERE IS SO

MUCH HISTORY BEHIND IT.
