My Loc Journey Begins - Day 1 

I love it. I started mine on June 21

Beautiful! I see you did your research--triangle parts. I loc'ed in 1998 after 5 years natural, big chopped after 14 years, and I'm a loose natural again since 2013. Good luck with the journey!

There is no need for me to use a dryer. I have a short lochawk, and my hair takes 30 minutes to dry.
