Then I try separating them at the roots so that I maintain existing loc strands and here's my observation so far.

Loc Appreciation Day, 2015 (#LAD2015) is just around the corner. Yaaaaaaay!!!!!!, last years event was so so much fun despite the rain (Praying for clearer skies this year). This years event will be bigger, better and more spacious. Watch this space for more details.... #LAD2015 #LADLagos... Save the date - 27th June 2015.

So I'm back, and I hope I still know how to write :). Ok Ok, I'm so sorry for not posting for so long and I would really try to maintain a schedule for updating my blog. I promise I would try.
