Locking Into Transformation
I sat down with Charles Turner to discuss his decision to lock his hair, which marked a pivotal moment in his life of personal transformation. For Charles, it was symbolizing his commitment to growth, change, and self-expression. His journey is a testament to the power of transformation in every aspect of life.
Connection to Strength and Identity
During our discussion, Charles shared how his journey is deeply intertwined with his philosophy of personal growth. Drawing inspiration from the biblical story of Samson, he explained how hair symbolizes strength, identity, and an individual’s connection to their roots. In the story, Samson’s power was closely tied to his hair, making it a representation of his strength and sense of self. For Charles, locking his hair was a way to channel that symbolism into his own life. It served as a reminder of the power he holds within himself, reaffirming his identity amid societal expectations.

His story serves as a powerful reminder that embracing change, can often lead to monumental personal growth.
As we wrapped up our conversation, I realized how much I’d learned about hair, & about the deeper significance of self-identity and strength. Charles’s story proves that there is no singular way to grow or express oneself; it comes in many forms, often leading to a greater understanding of who we are. Through discussions like these, we can begin to appreciate the myriad of journeys that contribute to personal growth and transformation. Whether it’s through our appearance, our choices, or our philosophies, the act of embracing change is, in itself, an expression of strength and individuality.
