Is it Just Me?

It is just me, or does it seem like there are a lot of people cutting or combing out their locks. It started with Golden and then, when I received an alert that Fauryn another loc idol of mine had loaded a new Youtube video, I was shocked and heartbroken to see that she had also combed out her beautiful locks. She is still gorgeous, but I just chalked it up to, well maybe it was time for her. THEN while watching Sunday Best on BET, I see that Latice Crawford one of the top five has also big chopped her shiny locs.

I know these ladies probably feel the same way I did about the concern that people have with their hair. I used to HATE IT when people would comment about me cutting off "all my long pretty hair." I am by no means knocking these beauties at all, they all look great with their new do's and are all still keeping it natural. I am just curious how many sisters in blogland and cyberspace have considered cutting or combing out their locks and the reason behind it. As a newbie on my loc journey, it's interesting to see that maybe women do get tired of having the same hairstyle and want something different.

I guess that I thought of my locs as the cure all for hair woes, but it is just hair. Those with short hair want long hair and when they get it, they grow bored with it. Same with women with long hair who want short hair. I don't know why I got it in my head that these issues would be resolved once I started locking. But I'm going to wrap this up because I am starting to ramble, but am very interested in your thoughts.
