So this probably wont interest most of you, but I know that there are a few natural sistas who read my blog.
For the past few months, I’ve been agonizing over what the heck I would do with my hair once in Hong Kong. Braids are not an option because the likelihood of finding someone to do them over there is very small. As for natural twists, cornrowing, and flat twisting: been there, done that, bought the t-shirt. While the results are beautiful, styling my hair in those ways is just too time-consuming and the thought of detangling my afro after every wash is just too unappealing, and the reasons I turned to braided extensions in the first place (no having to manipulate the fro for up to two months! Wash and wear! No fuss, no muss! Looks the same in rain, wind, sleet, or snow!). I briefly contemplated shaving it all off and rocking a teeny weeny afro, but then remembered that I’ve done that before and got sick of it after a month (too short to change styles).
And before you ask, getting a relaxer is out of the question.
So, after exploring my options, I’m all “loc’d up”- started my locs (via interlocking, for those in the know)! I’ve always loved the look of dreadlocks and have longed to get them done. So this past Saturday I got the hair did, and am anxious to see how my hair will turn out when my hair fully starts to lock up (which it already has- amazing what hair will do when you just leave it be)!

Congrats on the new hairstyle! I don't know how it will go for finding hair products in Asia, but if you will be doing a lot of self-maintenance, a good place to find info. about products, recipes, tips, etc., is on http://www.nappturality.com/. Who knows? You may find others with locs who are living in Asia.
Wowww! I was going to say you'll probably find an African community in HK and have no problem getting your hair braided. Loc'ing's good, too! That's exactly what I'm doing at the moment. Started them 4 weeks ago. I, too, got tired of the detangling sessions, so locs were the perfect option. I look forward to watching them grow on your travels.
thanks for the advice ladies! we ll see what happens with my hair… i will get it retightening once more when i go back to canada at the end of july, but after that, i will truly be on my own in HK.. hoping that there will be a large afro community there so someone can do my hair!
you can do your hair yourself! it is not rocket science, at all. as for tightening up, it doesn't need to be that tight. our hair locks up naturally, like-a magic! see here – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GMfy290b1k
