Most of you know that I celebrated my five year loc'versary by getting my locks layered. I wasn't really nervous about it, but the end result did take some getting used to. Above, three looks: Braidout, Caruso Steam Roller Set, Soft Spike Curler set.
The Pros of the layered cut:
- My head feels much lighter. Although Sisterlocks don't pull, I did have a lot of density which was very hot in the summer and took additional washing and drying time.
- The cut is a little more age appropriate for a 50 year old woman
- I wear my hair down more often
- The bangs and layers keep the hair from falling into my face
- My high pony's fall perfectly, rather than being weighed down
The Cons of the layered cut:
I kind of miss my "signature" density
I had to learn new ways to style my hair
Pulling hair back can be a challenge because of the bangs and layers
The cut did away with my highlighted ends causing my hair to look darker.
Overall, I'm happy with the cut and bangs. Now I have another 5 years to let them grow back!
