Hey girl, can you do a video on naturally thin hair, I haven’t loc’d my hair yet and I’ve been considering it. However to achieve the size she has (pencil size) I would only be able to do about 15 locs as my hair strands are thin and my hair it self isn’t thick either.

[@SammyDaGawd]

I'm a teacher with locs, 5 years in. Thick and disrespectful! I have a Master's in Early Childhood Education..went on every interview with my beautiful locs. Every student I've ever taught or come across has been in love with my hair and say they wish theirs was like mine. Fuck "professionalism" it's a made up construct!🤟🏽😝

Initially, I was sensitive about my hair but, when a kiddo in one of the groups I work with saw my hair, he shouted joyfully that we were twinsies. That moment showed me that representation in professional settings truly matters. And, because of that, these locs ain't going nowhere!
