Quick suggestion for anyone who wants to take down their locks. Get the *Taliah Waajid Bodifier spray* and apply it excessively over the hair, let it set for about 10 then start to detangle. Makes your hair super soft and poofy, gives alot of slippage and helps detangle like a dream! Trust me its good! You will thank me later lol....

Commenting to remember if I ever need

Every time someone takes down their locs I’m reminded of why I love mine. Also if you do decide to loc your hair again make sure to wear a satin cap all of the time. Sleeping, cleaning, just around the house. It helps control lint. Especially wear it when getting dress so lint doesn’t pull into the hair.

My huge tip is to buy a 100% boar brush (I have a Denman) and brush from 3infrom the roots down to the tips. We have two dogs and this is an absolute MUST for me. The amount of fur and lint that gets removed is CRAZY! I bought a claw brush cleaner to help remove all the fuzz from my brush. 4 years in and my locs are shiny and no issues with lint/build up. I have a satin pillow case, but don't bother with a satin cap. I would love to find a satin ponytail sheath to wear if I could find one.

I cut my traditional locs after 7 years yrs and my Sisterlocks at just under 4 years. I loved my locked hair, but I also love how I look with almost no hair, so cutting is no problem for me. Last month my stylist started my third set of locs with comb coils, but I have to be able to wash my hair as needed because I have been racing virtually since May ‘20. Therefore, we’ll be switching to interlocking the first week in Oct. I am 68 now, so I hope to keep this set. I interlocked the first set for the same reason.

I believe hair has memory and feels. I did not realize that until I got my locks. My hair flourished AFTER I got my locks. Because locks are natural to us...therefore my hair recognized the style and abounded and blossomed; also we need to take vitamins for the hair as there are foods and medications out there which their expressed purpose is to make our hair of inferior quality.

I'm one that will do the same and take my time to comb out each loc lol I was watching you since the beginning and maintaining over 1000 locs is a lot of work. I would recommend if you do it again aim for 500 or less so you are able to maintain them on your own. I started my loc journey 9 months ago and I wish I could say its easy but self-reties are a killer lol. I have around 600 but the back came out and I'm doing them much larger to cut on retie time. If I did them again I would aim for 400-450 locs but I still love them and have no immediate plans to remove them! Thanks for sharing your journey!!!!!

Great video! Thank you for sharing. I'm microlocing my hair now for the past 5 days or so and I'm comfortable doing it because I know that if I decide to reverse it, I can. I don't know how I will feel about not being a loose natural once I've been loc'ed up for a while. So, it's nice to have that option however tedious. I guess the shedding comes with the territory but, I'd still be upset to see all of that hair coming out of my locs. And I think I would have to go and let someone else do a ton of moisturizing and strength building treatments to it for a good while before I would even comb it much. Maybe I'd just wear it in thick twists for some weeks with very little manipulation.

I love your hair either way❤️ thanks for sharing! I have 379 micro locs 3 months in

Many people think that when someone takes down locs they've had for a long time and lose a lot of hair, it's because the hair was all shed hair making the hair look longer than it was. But I think the process of taking them down causes a lot of damage and breakage. Women with long locs they've had for a long time do have a lot of really long hair that's attached to their head, but they lose it during take down. What do you think?

As someone who used to have between 900 and 1000 locs on a similar length, i can tell you thats it's a real pain, it took me 2 weeks, a least 8 hours a every day, so i decided to combine them all and now have about 300 locs. Nowadays i'm still reducing the number. If you have a lot of hair, a good density and thickstrands, don't even worry with installing a crazy number of locs, even with less then 250 locs you'll have a voluminous hair

My ends kept looking raggedy too when I combed locs out kept cutting and cutting til I had pixie cut and mine was as long as yours

And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Romans 10:9 9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. JESUS CHRIST can come anytime!
