    I'm literally taking down my 20-year-old sisterlocks as I'm watching your videos and I really like how you waited till you had a lot of new growth before you took them down. How many months of new growth was it? I feel the same way girl I'm just ready for something new! people keep guilt tripping me but I can't live for them anymore and I have to do what's best for me. It's crazy how obsessed some people are with others hair like they forget it grows back.

      It was about 2 years of new growth. It wasn’t really by choice but I’m glad things played out how they did. & yesss people will definitely guilt trip you! And I felt you so heavily on living for me, that’s something I’m currently working on.

      @@mahoganiej 2 years, omg that's some patience forreal! By any chance did you experience any thinning? I got like 3 months of new growth and I worry about my edges as they're so fragile when they're loose and needs to be retightened. I'm starting to detangle my locs starting from the back to disguise it as I go. I also wear a satin ribbon to hide my new growth. What section did you start taking down first and how did you manage your new growth throughout those 2 years?

    I admire your determination! I took down my fist set of micro locs after only 10 months. I had around 330 locs and It took about 2 weeks. I almost instantly regretted it and started a new set about 2 months later. This time I have over 500 and they’ve been in over a year. I would NEVER AGAIN sit and undo all these locs! I’d sooner cut it all off and start all over again! 😂

    Just took down my sisterlocks. 345. About three and a half weeks to take down. Had them for 3 years. Reason for take down: postpartum shedding. Have accepted this new journey. Stay at home mom. So had some time on my hands to take them down. Was a crazy experience. Hands are cramping. Little painful. Wanted to scream many times while taking it down. Such a tedious process. Spring twist braids, here I come. Protective styling, here I come. Ms. Wig, hello!😅 growing my hair back in grand style. I decided to comb it out because I did not have enough growth to cut out and I did not want a low boy cut. Wanted to retain some length enough to be able to braid as protective styling. Need enough hair on my scalp on this journey. So boy cut was a no no

    I took my first set of SL’s down because they were bigger than I’d wanted.
    NEVER AGAIN😂😂
    I’m rocking my 2nd set now and will not be taking them down ever again because :
    1.) I’m too dayum old now😂 and
    2.) After having just about every hairstyle imaginable and growing my loose curls to mid-back length, SL’s was just the most versatile and easy to care for and lets me show off my length without damage.
    I do have 1 SL that came down in the back when I reupped my locs and I left it loose just to give me the satisfaction of still seeing my beautiful loose curls but without me having to tend to a full head of them again.
    Glad you made the decision for you.💙👍🏾

I have about 3 inches of new growth on my shoulder length locs.

      This is so real! I finished taking down my sisterlocks about 6 months ago. Had them for almost 4 years. I just started going stir crazy and curious about my loose hair again. I also had lint in some places and little shed bulbs of hair in my locs. Those bothered me so much at the time but I literally could’ve dyed my hair lol. At the end of the day, I’m glad I did though. I’m pretty much getting locs again but I’ll get e neater grid this time. And I want them a bit larger, around 200 or so. That way palm rolling will be an option and maintenance won’t take so much!

    What was your hair regimine while you let your hair grow out? Did you do Deep conditions, oil your soap, etc? My last retie was in Jan and I plan on combining mine out due to thinning. The ones that are thin now I will be combing out now before the break off to the scalp.
    How did you wear your hair in between the 2 years to cover it up?😮 Sorry if you have a video on it that I have missed.

    I'm new to this so just trying to understand. I believe you answered someone question about how long it took for you to grow out your hair, and you said 2 years. So that means not one retie for 2 years, right? I've seen locs hanging on for dear life after a few weeks how did you manage that just curious not questioning your decision.. I may got what you meant incorrect.

    • @mahoganiej
      @mahoganiej  Рік тому

      I’ve had my locs for a total of 10 years and had just recently cut them into a bob. But my middle and back was going on 2 years with no retightening. I guess my hair was just thick enough to survive that long 😭. Going that long without a retightening wasn’t in the plan I just was struggling to find someone I could trust with my hair since my mom had been keeping up with them beforehand.

Everyday I'm finding more and more locs that are unsealing and coiled on the ends. What would cause such a drastic change to hair that was sealed for almost 3.5 years? I'm wait until August and then try and comb mine out to minimize hair loss.

Especially if you dont know where it came from, or the process it went through before it got to you. Do you know that they sacrifice there hair to there gods before it gets processed and sent to you. Look it up, it's on youtube. Do you know that THE MOST HIGH says not to put it in are head. I get it sis I was once a slave to it as well, until I found out the truth. The slave masters use to make the slaves wear them, because they couldn't stand the sight of their hair.
