How To Comb Out Locs
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- My daughter is ready for a change and wants to experiment with her hair. I embrace that. She is growing up and I encourage her to find "her style".
After 1 1/2 years loc'd, I show you in this video how I unloc'd her mature locs, then transitioned to straight hair. Locs are the ultimate protective style. Your hair can be healthy and strong after locs without cutting them when taken care of properly.

Thirty minutes for each loc. The things moms do. :) Beautiful.
I tell you! Thank you :)
Love TAKES the time.
Truly a lovely video, but a message to the audience.:
Please don’t forget her daughter only had them in for 1.5 years... That type of length takes 4++ years to actually “loc” / “mature”. It will not be this easy to unlock hair that’s been locked for several years, etc.
Plus she has loose hair (3c/4a).
Please do not lock your hair as a “protective style” if you aren’t aware of the details. The size of the locs, how long they have actually been locked for, their hair type + texture, their original condition of their hair and so much more truly matters.
her hair is defo not 3c but yeh
That's not true, it a combination of your hair texture. My locks grew longer than that in a 1.5 yrs.
My hair has been locked twice 06-13
Then2014-2021 cause I'm combing them out now for good. Miss my natural curls.
@@edenschannel101 definitely not 3c
I did cut out one strand of my lock before I saw this video then after watching it I then started combing them out. Thank for the video I saved 10inches of my hair from my 6years locs. This was helpful good work &patience.👍💕💕💕
I showed my mom a snipet of your video ,and I just asked my mom if I had locs would she help me take them out and she said No. Lol .Your daughter is so lucky to have a mom who is willing to go the extra mile for her .BTW you have the patience of a saint!😁😁😁😁
Lol 😂😂😂 Thank you! Maybe you can try to comb them out yourself?
Taya Johnson It's not hard. I would help you take them out but only if they aren't too small. They'd have to be medium to big locs. Lol
I found this video to be so satisfying!
Me too! I couldn't stop watching :)
Keke Lauren same in am so tempted but idk..
Keke Lauren omg same
I would love to see what her hair looks like now.
I'm so glad you let her have a say in what she should do with her hair! Most would never let their children have their hair taken out!
Both Mom and daughter have the patience of Job. Thanks for sharing. Considered me more educated about Black hair.
What a beautiful video! My daughter is 13 and loc'd now for 1 year and 3 months. She loves her thick locs but its always in my head that one day she'll want a change. Being 13 is rough with the media and peer influences...I experienced moutains of self acceptance issues at that age. But, I get full at the fact that Liv embraces her natural self. So proud of these young queens we're raising these days. Your daughter is glowing!
Great job conserving her hair mom!!
Thank you 💛
what kind of comb did u use to detangle her Locs
Kellie Robinson a broke off rat tail for take down...wide tooth comb after.

Loc Crush do u have a number I can call? What’s your name on facebook
Her hair is lovely! I admire the fact you that you took your time in taking out her hair. I've seen other videos where ppl rush it and they lose a lot more hair, where as your daughter didn't! Great job!
Francess P thank you 💛
This video was so satisfying and almost therapeutic to me for some reason lol. I'm not sure if it's the visual of seeing the loc gradually become undone, the labor of love shown by a mother for her daughter, or both. I don't have locs, I came across this video from browsing natural hair vids. I've heard of locs being taken down, but I never knew it could be done with this much length retention. It just goes to show that almost anything is possible with our hair so long as we have patience and give it the right amount of TLC. I admire the patience you have. Your daughters hair is beautiful ❤️
Lydia thank you so much for your kind words 💛💛💛
Lydia lOl it’s the music
What a mom,most would tell her "chop chop" lol
😂😂😂
BEAUTIFUL!!! You're an AWESOME mom for being so patient and willing to do this for her! This how we should respond to our kids
+G. Lawrence thank you ☺️ It's so important to me to keep her hair healthy and for her to love her hair. Our girls need to feel good about their hair 💛
+Loc Crush (loccrush) did u start off with braids
Loc Crush why did you even do them if you felt that way about her having them in the first place? Must be a reason you wanted her to have them !!!
her hair is stunning and has great length for only a 1 1/2 years of dreadlocks ... ive had mines for almost 3 years & im considering taking mine down because not many men embrace their long natural hair (for some reason some blk ppl think black men aren't supposed to have long hair) but i really want to ! this inspired me 💚
All About Arren It’s not a Black People thing. Though I am a woman of color. Long hair on a man can sometimes appear effeminate. More importantly, The-Bible says...”...Isn’t it obvious that it is a disgrace for a man to have long hair... The Bible 1 Corinthians 11:14.... A man’s hair should never go past his shoulders.
MissUrielle Shakir The SIREN-Arc Angel Uriel. USA that’s fucked up,
I think you're wrong cause we love black men with long locs over here 💯🤷🏿♀️
@@youtubenayy6354 that's bull you gotta know what to take from the Bible because of course this corrupt world changed it alot so that we blindly follow a bunch of bullshit
UA-cam Nayy The Bible is “...fucked up”? I am sorry you feel that way. But, personally to me it can be somewhat effeminate. Also, the Bible says a man having long hair is a “...disgrace...” 1 Corinthians 11:14. I concur. After puberty, a man’s hair shouldn’t go beyond his shoulders. Why does a grown man need hair beyond his shoulders???!!! Oh...wait...he doesn’t. DON’T SHOOT THE MESSENGER!!!!
Amazing 😍
I don't have children but a mothers touch never fails.. Beautiful work. 💞
Thank you 💛💛💛
wow that amazing! i didnt know locs can be unlocked. i always thought it was permanent so i shied away from them. now i def considering dread locs! 😁
I took out both my AND my daughter's hair over the course of about 3 months, so I feel your pain, lol... I never wanna go through that again! ;-)
goodness just watching that exhausted me lol. You did an amazing job and her hair looks beautiful
Thank you :)
The best loc take down video, I’ve seen so far; love how you took your time during the process😊 she has beautiful hair!
That's crazy. Our hair is amazing. Watching that last lock come undone was so refreshing...the build up to it was killing me! Lol Her hair is beautiful!
Honey503 thank you 💛
I was considering just cutting my hair, but watching this i'll try this first. Thanks so much for sharing this :)
You're welcome 💛
Her hair is wow super long thick and healthy. Your a mom and probably growing crazy about it. I want mines to grow super long too!!!
Loves that lady bug in her hair at the end during the slideshow lol I found it very pretty along with her beautiful hair!
You're a great mom for taking the time and care to treat your daughter's hair so well. She's very lucky to have someone who loves her that much :)
Daaraofthegesert Thank you 💛💛💛
Actually watching through the whole process her daughter has a great texture of hair,mines wouldn't had went for this and would had broken every comb in the city before it would be ready to budge lol
You are cracking me up right now lol. I do understand what you're saying though. Everyone's hair is different. Having a conditioner with good "slip" on hand definitely helps.
Loc Crush Yeah my cousin had took her hair loose and said all it took her was all day.My hair texture was mean't for this hairstyle,I see people saying they had problems waiting for their hair to lock and I definitely can not relate lol.It's like my hair is at home now since I stopped wearing braids
lol l, my hair is the same. it tightly coiled and annoying with curls. I still have to take 20 out.
lol, right.
TJJohnson e
I used a dental pick. that works really well too.
I don’t know what’s most satisfying the curls or the actual taking out and the relief she must feel on her scalp
I am encouraged. My 9 year old asked for locs and now at 10 she wants braids like her little sister. I began to comb out one of her locs last night just like you are now but it wasn't saturated with water and conditioner. I stopped midway and to seek assistance for a more healthy way. This is very helpful. Thank you so much. My baby will be happy that there is an easier process of transitioning her loc'd hair without cutting.
The music was very soothing. I learned something I never knew. That you can unlock without cutting. Too tedious for me but her hair is beautiful!
Thank you :) Very tedious indeed. But so happy with the results. I can hardly believe we did it :)
This make me wanna get locks for how long her hair grew
Truly a lovely video, but a message to the audience.:
1. No matter who you are, human hair on the head can only grow ~6 inches per year.
2. Please don’t forget her daughter only had them in for 1.5 years... That type of length takes 4++ years to actually “loc” / “mature”. It will not be this easy to unlock hair that’s been locked for several years, etc.
Plus she has loose hair (3c/4a).
Please do not lock your hair as a “protective style” if you aren’t aware of the details. The size of the locs, how long they have actually been locked for, their hair type + texture, their original condition of their hair and so much more truly matters.
Sameeee
@@SitaSita-TeamBigMirr but it still can be done. Just more Patience and Gentleness on the hair. 👍
@@SitaSita-TeamBigMirr everyones hair grows different. there's people who have locs for some months and show significant growth.
I’m taking my locs out also. I have 1/4 of my locs to take out and I’ll be done. I had my locs for seven years. I’m so happy to be taking them out. Thank you for your video.
I want to lock my hair as a protective style for two years and let it grow. I hope I'll have the courage!
Beautiful video. Thanks.
I have been searching for comb out loc videos and this is simply the best and now--I'm READY
How awesome, never knew you could take out locs . She's so happy, how cute
The end result got me all choked up. She looked so pleased. To be that age..with the pressures of aesthetics being so important. What you did was truly a labor of love. She's beautiful either way.
Thank you so much. That was my main focus behind it too. When I was that age I was very insecure about about appearance. Insecurities stand in the way of being able to just enjoy life and experience new things. I want to cover those basics so she can live to the fullest 💛
+Loc Crush (loccrush) Isn't that the truth. We can get stuck on what some would say are superficial things but confidence starts with being comfortable with who you are. She's blessed to have a progressive mother.
Lol baby is chilling...the blessings of being your mother's child? mommas are everything!!
When I read locs are the ultimate protective style for preserving your curl pattern🤗🤗I was sooooo relieved!!😥That was a major concern for me. So thank you for that!
Wow! I wish I knew you could comb out locs when I cut mine off last year. :) You did an amazing job!!! Her hair is beautiful!
Thank you 💛
My Dear, you have the patience of Job. You are a wonderful Mother (in embracing your baby's choices) and did an awesome job taking your daughter's locs down, and eventually flat ironing her hair. Her results are lovely. I read through the comments to see the type of comb used during the take down process. That gold comb was a good tool to use along with all the rest, however that seemed to be used the most. Which VO5 conditioner was used? The locs responded immediately. Your hair is absolutely beautiful. How long have you had your Locs?
💛 Thank you! You are so kind ☺️ I've had my Locs for six years. It was the V05 Moisture Milks conditioner that I used. It made her locs as silky as possible.
Beautiful video and hair!!! This is love and patience at its finest.
Thank you 💛
Our hair is just so darn Magical!!! 🤗🤗So glad that African American women are once again embracing and loving the natural beauty of our hair. We seriously have dome magical hair--the versatility is unreal. Stay chemical free ladies!
I’m taking out my waistline locs of almost 11 years this summer! Really excited! Best video I’ve found! This helped thank you!
this helped so much i have a brother in law who had his dreads for 4 years and wants me to take them out tomorrow, this helped sooo much thank you
Did it work?
Major Thumbs Up for being patient with her hair! So many people thought that you had to chop your hair off if you wanted to be free from Locs. I didn't let mine loc nearly as long, but they were much smaller and I unlocked my hair due to missing the freedom.
You are so right. So many people have reached out to me since this video and have opted to comb out their locs rather than cut them off. Our hair is so versatile :)
+Loc Crush (loccrush) You said it, that's why so many other nationalities are obsessed with our hair and want to touch it all the time! I work in retail and I have literally had customers want to touch it and one without waiting for me to answer her before touching :-O Ironically, that movie had just come out called Dear White People and the poster says it all... My most interesting encounter was with a couple that had recently adopted a little girl. The mother was a hair dresser, but was only familiar with the same texture as her own. I was delighted to help, especially knowing that we see these parents with children and they just have the child or children walking around like no one cares for their hair!!!
Beautiful. The love of a mother. Words can’t explain this video. It’s shows pure L❤️VE in your actions toward your daughter.
That shit look good you know they gone think that's fake hair
i swea
My hair is just like that . Curly!!!! Thick!!!! Natural
Rickey Burns 7
true I always wear my hair braided and then wrapped in a head scarves. I pressed it out to clip ends. Went to store for a few things. People I see all the time couldn't believe that this is my natural hair
13:23 a ladybug flew on her! What luck 🐞😍 precious
The fact that she maintains so much thickness and length is remarkable!! You guys have some strong hair genetics. Excellent job mom!!
Yep....I am getting locs as a protective hairstyle.
Wow! Her hair came out great! Beautiful healthy head full of hair.
Thank you 💛
Her hair is so beautiful and you did a fantastic job!!! I can't believe that there wasn't more hair loss......she has a beautiful curl pattern and beautiful healthy hair.
RETTAVISION thank you 💛
In so happy I found this video. I am starting this process on my baby girl's hair tomorrow. She is 7 and I'm sad she wants to get rid of hers after a year and 4 months but I know she will embrace her loose natural hair again as she has her locs.
It was bittersweet for me as well. But in hindsight, I am so happy that she is so content with her hair currently. It's so important that our girls are given the freedom to experiment with their hair.
+Loc Crush (loccrush) absolutely agree. We will see where this next journey takes us all.
Extremely time consuming but well worth it! Her hair is so beautiful!
Thank you 💛
You are a wonderful mother, all this patience, time, and dedication. Beautiful!
Thank you 💛
I loved the video...thank you. very educational and inspiring.
dorothy85ds thank you 💛
Good job on the labor of love💛! You made it look easy. I did the same but I had my loc's for 14 yrs and it was a VERY arduous process.
love it! never knew they could come down I wanted to try them. Now I will Thanks and her hair is Beautiful!
I'm glad I seen this detangling process. I can do that myself. Time to lock this afro.
I think it looks so much easier because she wasn't locked that long and her locs were fairly thick. My daughter was locked 3 years and they were small and it was stressful!! Good job momma it looks great
I love the nice summery outside, then the nice guitar music. It makes it so calming. I'm happy that you have the legit patience to do this, and not just shave her head.
Great deal of patients but will worth it! Her hair looks so healthy. Mahalo!
Wow, she is such a trooper! My daughter would have lost it. Lol waaaaay too tender headed. Great job mom! ✊🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I tried to be as gentle as I could, holding the hair with one hand to not put too much pressure on her scalp. It was a long process but she is so happy we didn't have to cut it :)
Thank you 💛
I'm truly inspired now
God Bless you mom for you extreme patience. I knew it was possible, but I've never actually seen it done. Thanks so much for this post. IT is very inspiring and enlightening. May I ask how long has she bee growing her locs and what length was her hair when she first began locking?
Thank you :) Her loose natural hair was about bra strap length when we started her locs. She had them for 1 1/2 years and her hair is now waist length.
Gorgeous young lady!💕💕 and her hair is amazing you take very good of it and your work is impeccable!👍
Thank you 💛
I am currently unlocking mine and I can only do it potion by potion since I work all day. I love being able to change from afro to locks to afro. Our natural hair is just so versatile and amazing. Thanks for this vid it's keeping me company right now.
Versatile and amazing indeed 🙌🏾
Wow patient Mom and daughter. She has beautiful hair.
From this video and pics you can tell her hair is cared for and loved.
Beautiful Healthy Hair! I have a son but Inwould definitely treat my daughters hair with the same care that you treat hers😉 I loved watching. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you 💛💛💛
I was ready to do the big chop... now it seems like it’s worth the effort. 1-2 locks a day would still be faster than growing some new hair that is not loc’ed and then cutting it off. Thank you for this video!
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing this vid, I learned even more info about locs.
Thank you for watching 💛
Xthis has given me a lot of insight on what I'm up against because I'm planing to comb out my locks this summer
You can do it 🙌🏾
Such gorgeous hair! Kiddos to you for enduring to the end. My hand was cramping just watching the struggle!
Wow! Amazing, my daughter asked me to love her hair and I was hesitant, but now I see possibilities.
I'm coming too you when I'm ready to take down my locs.. Simply beautiful luv!!
Thank you ☺️
Phewwww that's a lot of work Chyle ! Lmao 😝😂😃... I don't know if I was happy or sad by this .... I was Happy because. Like "WOW" you can loosen them and saddened because we take all that time and years to loc them and Watch it grow etc etc. .... Just to KNOW you loose them like that! Heartbroken. However, whatever makes your daughter happy !! It's our lives and natural journey. I appreciate you sharing this hard work ... I am over here like ... She got patience .. Geeesh haha. Good luck on your journey and endeavors. ❤💯🙌🙏
I have taken down my locs twice and it is such a great alternative. Hair is so versatile and although I'm currently a loose natural, I plan on loc'ing my hair again in August. Some don't understand the point of me going back and forth, buts it's because I have that ability. We all do! It's hair...natural hair which again is so versatile! So, with that, I'm quite certain after having mature locs for a few years, I'll take them down again! :)
Where did you purchase the short tooth comb? I may need to put that in the arsenal for later ;).
Well said!! Same here; love the versatility :) This comb has been with me thru thick and thin lol. It is broken in half and it's still my favorite hair tool. I bought it in a pack of different sized hair combs from Walgreens years ago.
Those type of locks look very easy to take out but I was looking for a Bob Marley dreadlocks like somebody's been locking their hair for 20 years and decide to take them out that look more like a twist out and was on the verge of locking up and you caught it in the middle so yeah those will be very easy to take out but overall that's a nice video and enjoy watching it
Wanting to comb mine out and start a new set, mine are just 1 ½ years old but pretty firmly locked. Wish i knew someone with the patience to help!
I wouldn't have the patience to help anyone do this.
You'd do it for your baby girl. That's the ONLY person I'd do it for.
TheBerkeleyBeauty but why put them in if you'd take them out? Good question huh? That's hard work alone just to watch them grow and taking care of them as locs etc ... Ijs
Sometimes you just want a change. ijs
Lytashia Keith I would put them in so that my hair would grow long and after it long enough I would take mines out
Omm!!!!
u are such am amazing person to have the time and the PATIENTS TO take this out.
Watching your video has totally convinced me to take my Locs out I've only had them year so I'm hoping that I won't have that much hair loss thank you for the video
Wow. Pure love and patience.
Good job Loc Crush, I'm so tempted and have been thinking about taking my sister locks out for a while
Very satisfying vid. I love how u took them down and maintained her length. Great job!
That's a lot of work, but interesting to watch. The shed hairs were not too over powering and she has the option to wear protective styles or keep the flat ironing mild. Good job!I have over 450 sisterlocks and figure it would take 3 months to remove if I ever pursued this. I'd be wearing updos, wigs, ahh never mind!
What incredible patience ....... for both of you! : )
☺️ Thank you
beautiful she looks just like mom.lovely video oh so much patience love all your lock care.
great job, Mommy, such patience and dedication!
You did a wonderful job and I didn't know you can do that to dreads lesson learned thank you queen 💁🏾
Thank you 💛
depends on type of loc put in, taking down palm rolled or twists that have locked or even braids that have locked can be a very different story on tiny, interlocked microlocks
Wow!! Her hair is gorgeous
Prexx O. Thank you 😊
OMG if my daughter see's this she will want to unlock them now. She wants to unlock them at the end of her senior year in high school (4yrs from now. lol) They are 2 inches pass her shoulder now after 2 1/2 years. Your daughters hair looks great. Love the music.. where'd you get it? I can use that for my students at nap time. ;-) Or just play your vid over and over again. lol
Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching ☺️ Good luck with your daughter's takedown journey! The music is "flutter by butterfly" by www.joshwoodward.com.
Her hair is absolutely beautiful!
Her hair is beautiful!
mom you are so patience. ..how many hours did it take.?.the outcome is amazingly beautiful hair...
Thank you ☺️ It took me about a half hour per loc. I took my time over a few months.
you make it look easy
Beautiful girl, beautiful hair!☺
Thank you 💛
Amazing...never knew this was possible. My baby sister has waist length locs
Looking at this in April of 2019. And still loving it.
I love learning about locs. thank you
Thank you for watching :)
beatiful and peaceful (even if I know there's a lot of work hère) and i read so much love and care un your family :)))
if i ever take down m'y locs i'll try to be as patient as you were hère. thx for sharing .
Thank you 💛
