Short Locs??

Everyone loves my locs...but they say they like them short better than they think they'll like them longer. Sooooo, I'm starting to wonder how I actually would look with long locs? Do I want to let them grow long or should I just pursue a little above shoulder-length and cut them when they exceed that length? I mean, clearly we won't have to worry about cutting them anytime soon because they aren't long yet, but it's just something to think about. Here's some short loc inspiration:

(LEFT) I love this picture! Her locs are short, but they're long enough for her to experience the versatility of styling. If I keep my locs short, I definitely want them to be long enough for updo's!

(ABOVE) Okay, so this model has far from "short locs," but I couldn't resist the temptation to post this picture! It's my favorite one from this post! Her hair color is GORGEOUS and this basket-weave updo is to-die-for. Okay, maybe not "to die for," because without being alive I wouldn't be able to rock it...but, you get the point: this is SO me!!


(RIGHT) Yet another gorgeous photograph!! This model is doing it up with this hairdo!! It embraces the fact that locs are no different from "regular hair." They can be cut, curled, and styled just like chemically treated hair. I guess whether you're sporting locs, curls, or straight hair, you have to find a style that highlights your personality and plays with your uniqueness. I've never tried a bob hair-cut, but, after seeing this, I may???

One word: WOW!!! She is the epitome of a "Loc Rocker." Her jewelry, her make-up, and (from the looks of it) her outfit are all on point. This hairstyle is BANGIN'. There's not much else to say. This pictures speaks for itself and has one word to say: "beauty."

Sooo, I'm still not certain how long I'll let my locs grow, but regardless of the length, I'm forever enslaved to locs!! I truly think I've found a life-long hairstyle. And with that being said, I've tried EVERYTHING: from a whole head of platinum blonde dye in high school to a big chop about a year ago. Some of my friend joke around and say that the only option I have left is to Amber Rose it, but I can't see myself doing that. Each day, my locs become more and more meaningful to me and I love them all to pieces...each for their own reasons. I can't wait until my babies grow up!
