  • Hey guys, sorry it has been long since I last posted a video, but I wanted to share this moment as well. I decided to take down the MICROLOCS and just as I shared the journey when I started them, I wanted you to also see when I combed them out so that you will always know, whenever you are ready, you can do it too! I hope you enjoyed my journey just as much as I did.

    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.

    I have micro locs(360) and I love them...im 7 months in. You have a lot of patience. If I ever decide to get rid of mine, I would just cut them off and rock a short cut.

    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. Nice video. Thanks!

    I admire you. You did microlocs your way. You’re not afraid to learn, change your mind. I appreciate your willingness to show the process and help us out. I’m gonna do it, one day.

    Yes, it is worth it to take it down and save it!! Beautiful job!! From starting the 1000 locs to taking them down, you have shown great patience and attention to detail. Beautiful locs and beautiful hair.

    I don’t know if you ever told us why you felt like you had to take them down besides the lint. Do you think 1000 was too much to maintain? It looks like you lost a lot of hair, do you think it was worth it to take it down?

    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.

    Your hair is gorgeous. It was totally worth it combing out your locs. I look forward to combing out my locs on my tenth year anniversary. I’m excited!…

    Oh sis you took me back to before I got my sisterlocks. The dreaded breaking combs! I was crying I was laughing so hard! Good thick hair you got there! Love it 🥰

    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'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!!!!!
