  • Hello friends! After a beautiful 20 year loc journey, I decided to COMB OUT my LOCS! Yes you read that correctly. Why? Well I share that in this loc comb out tutorial. How much length do you think I can retain? What method am I using, how long does it take to comb out one loc? Join me as I share the ending of my loc journey. I will be posting my comb out videos, and how I navigate maintaining and styling my loose hair. A new journey awaits and I’m excited! It was something I thought about doing for over 6 years and I finally ripped the bandaid off and did it. I started sharing the ending of my loc journey on IG and TikTok and got a lot of questions and feedback. I was asked to post a UA-cam tutorial of how I comb mine out, so here it is. This is for anyone desiring to comb out their locs and want to retain their length.
    P.S. I don't know what happened to the video quality it got messed up during the editing, (sorry about that) will do a better video for you next time :-).

      Same. Had mine for 15 years and thinking about combing mine out one day, but mine are different lengths now. I’ve cut them twice, I have layers.. I just keep trying to do new things to satisfy my boredom first.

      I just did mine took me a week I would advise you to cut it shoulder length because your gonna loose length once you comb it out

    You seemed so sad the whole video, like you wanted to cry the whole time. I loved every reason you gave for combing your locs out. Those are literally all the reasons I’ve decided to comb mine out after 4 years. You’re going to love your hair and I hope all the pain your been through gets washed away with that 1st wash on your combed out hair. Love you sister ❤ can’t wait to see the update

    You all are brave. I am not putting them in at all because who is going take them out when I get tired of them. Box braids and I have the same problem. Love them but the removal is brutal for me.

    I had to comb mine out 5 years in due to Psoriasis which I didn’t know I had. It’s not hard to do but very tedious.

  • @nicolershae

    Wait you said it took almost 7 hours. Are you referring to just one lock it took 7 hours?

    • @barbielocs
      @barbielocs  7 місяців тому +1

      Yes 😊😑 but that’s when I realized I wasn’t using enough water. When ever it feels dry or hard to get through you should add water or you will be at it for hours 😑💕
