    Hi Ladies-

    I wasn't really sure where to post the pics of my post-wedding hair debacle.  I figured I would post it here, since there have been numerous posts regarding natural hair care, locs etc.

    So, I actually took down my locs, one at a time until I got really tired and chopped them so it would go faster.  I stopped twisting them after the wedding because after 10 years, I knew I was ready for a change.  Now, I really miss the length, but I'm excited for the new look!

    Here are a couple before and after photos.

    Oh wow! You cut them. I bet it feels kind of freeing, huh? I am thinking of doing something that's more like your middle pic. My hair is the longest it's ever been in my life, so I may enjoy it a bit more. At the same time, this is a whole lotta hair. 

    You look great! :)
