Aesthetic LoCs By Ashley

⾽ Aesthetic Locs, By Ashley 

 Hello and thank you for your arrival to my blog. This Blog is created to bring light and love to the beautiful creation of locs and the natural hair journey so many have been on, and so many are now journeying on. I have been on multiple natural hair journeys in my lifetime, and am now on my 4th loc journey, where I think this may be it for me. I enjoy the natural, and diverse styles you are able to do with locs and natural hair. I have not embarked on the newest journey of all where I have created after 3 full weeks of hard work and dedication, my own loc extensions using synthetic hair. The key to making locs, is patience and dedication due to the process taking very long. There are machines to help with the look but handmade to me looks so much better. I believe that with the amount of time invested in each handmade loc, the beauty and finished product speaks for itself.  

My First Loc Journey started in Vilseck Germany in the year 2009, My husband and I had moved there do to him being restationed there for the Army and I got to a point, due to the regular ameneties that we have in the United States not being at our disposal in another country. Due to that I did the big chop and started a natural hair journey straight into locs. My husband at the time was so upset that I cut my hair off, but I was so ready to be free from the stress and pressure of caring how my hair looked, having to pay to get it done, and the worry of what do when it came to products that could not be shipped to Germany for my type of hair. 

As the years passed I was in and out of locs like clockwork, every 3 to 4 years. Here I am, now Active Duty Military myself, stationed back in Germany and on another Local journey.

As You can See I love Locs, I have a super healthy addiction to growing beautiful healthy locs. It has now become a passion and a passion I want to share with others. 

As the years passed I was in and out of locs like clock work, every 3 to 4 years. Here I am, now Active Duty Military myself, stationed back in Germany and on another Loc journey, in November of 2023 at the age of 37. I had locs when I joined the Air Force in Octotber of 2023, but due to the many changes we  have in life, I cut my hair off and went through the curly phase, only to restart my locs this year in January of 2023 due to the help and assitance of my mega and so amazing stylist Ms. Sandra here in Germany. I love you Ms. Sandra :)  She is truly the GOAT: the greatest of All TIME :) 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

Locs to me have always  been a freedom, a beauty and a step into the awareness of ones self, and the awarenss of your own natural beauty.that cant be mimiked or changed or added to by anyone. The beautiful you that God created you to be. 

When you think about natural hair, or locs, what do  you think? I never say the word dreadlocs anymore because this hair is not a dread, and behind that word is so much history as to where it came from, so i just say, LOCS :)

Locs are Love, and Locs are Life.

Now in the year of 2023 here I am, still Loc Loving and enjoying this journey and this time with extra length and time save . The creative and amazing person that I strive to be on this earth, dreamed a dream about 2 months ago now. In the dream I saw myself, with my hair and its short and curly and cute and then i noticed that I was looking down at something on the table, which I relazied was hair. The last part of the dream from what i wrote down in my dream journal, was that when I turned around my  hair was so long and I was smiling. At the end of the dream, I was holding a package and smiling and now in 2023 I am on the jouney of creating Loc extensions. I acutally have 159 locs currenlty on my own crown, and made my own handmade loc extensions to enlarge the length and beauty of my locs, to add some flavor :) as I like to say!
