Kashala, thank you so much for your comment. Yeesss, I hear you. Its so exhausting to feel that pressure to switch it up all time and to have to spend hours maintaining our hair. I felt the same way. And of course there all also pressures to NOT lock our hair IF we have a texture that society deems "beautiful". But ultimately, none of that matters, you as a person in whatever style, are divinely beautiful. However you choose to wear your hair will reflect that.
I do hope you take the leap one day. Its truly transformative. Plus, there is still variety with loc styles, dont let anyone tell you different ;)
Thanks for the comment!
