  • Embracing change one snip at a time ✂️ After 6 amazing years of growing my beautiful sisterlocks, I decided to take the leap and cut them off 💇🏾‍♀️ Here’s to new beginnings, fresh perspectives, and embracing the beauty of transformation.

      People sacrifice their hair to other deities before they process it, and it gets to you. To put on your head. I know a lot of people don't know that, but there's a documentary on it. TMH says your hair is your crown and glory. There's a reason why our hair grows up towards the heavens.

    Phew! You are more patient than me because I would've shaved my head and started from 0! I totally get wanting a change though. I've never had locs but I do have very curly hair and every few years I get the itch to just cut it off because I just get tired of it or it starts to feel burdensome. One thing I won't do is be held hostage by hair!! I've never personally held emotional attachment to my hair because I didn't grow up in a household where people fussed over hair so chopping it off wasn't ever a big deal for me but my gosh did it seem to effect other people! I always say at the end of the day hair is just hair and as long as we're alive it'll keep growing back! You and your girls are beautiful btw!

    Great results. Sometimes you just need a change. I also combed my locs out about 2 yrs ago. They were small locs and I think there were about 150 or so of them. It took me almost 2 months because I work full-time and I could only do it in my free time. So I took down the interior 1st and was able to pull it up and hide it for work. I needed a really good trim afterward but I didn't lose much hair. I'm glad I did it and it was so freeing ❤

    You said the sister loc length was too much/long, but you put in a weave that is the same or longer...🙄
    You are beautiful! Hopefully you (we as a people) will learn how beautiful, special and important our natural hair is....
    Once you know, you will wear it loud and proud,...
    It is the only hair that should be on our head.
    Good luck on your new hair journey!

    I just took out my 200+ locs over the summer. It took around 3 mths. I loved my tiny locs but started experiencing thinning in several areas and some really bad knots that I couldn't close, so i removed them. I miss having them, I loved the look and convenience of them but they weren't worth losing hair over. If ever put them back in (no time soon)they definitely wont be as small, I'll go to a professional for the initial install and I wont take 3 mths to remove. I'll just let the hair grow out and slowly cut off the length. I felt like I worked a extra job all the countless hrs I put in removing them, never again😂

    Good luck on your new journey! When you cut your first loc on camera, I was worried bc I didn't think you realized how much you cut off (how it would shrink up afterwards!) You did your best though, and good for you deciding to adjust to your own needs by adding hair back in as your hair grows out. Other folks might not have shown that part of the video for fear of being judged - you are allowed to do your own thing and change your mind! Give it a year, your own hair will eventually even out and follow the path of your extensions. Beautiful!

    Curious why you didn’t just cut the locs shorter versus remove ? No judgement from me just curious if there are other things you didn’t enjoy about having locs. I’ve heard a lot of people say their hair became healthier and longer and I’m guessing it’s because it’s a protective style. But personally I can’t imagine not having versatility.. although granted thin sister locs can be styled a lot more ways than regular locs

      Longer locs are more dense and heavier than weave. Plus a weave is temporary too. She may be used to long hair but didn’t want long heavy locs, it’s a huge transition so maybe this is her middle ground

      Whether you believe it or not it is true they do hold energy everything does because everything is literally vibrating at its own unique frequency even a dead piece of wood has a vibration and store energy. There’s nothing on this planet that doesn’t vibrate it’s called “the law of vibration”. based on the law of vibration, a fundamental principle in physics and metaphysics This law states that everything in the universe is in constant motion and vibrates at its own unique frequency. Everything is made up of atoms, which are constantly moving (vibrating) all vibration energy can be converted into electrical energy Vibrations can cause changes in cells, which can affect how the body functions. Different molecules vibrate at different rates, and these rates can change based on the conditions around the molecules. ❤

    Wow! This was a practice of patience and persistence, well done!
    I cut my micro locs off, due to interlocking.
    I love both looks on you, beautiful.
    What type of hair did you use for your weave, please?
    😁✌🏾❤️

    You can undo locks? I always wanted locks but didn't want it to be permanent

    So how long did it take to take your locs down? Did it average 7 - 8 minutes per loc? I’m glad you didn’t lose a lot of hair! It looks beautiful!

    Well done. I’m curious as to whether or not you kept your hair once you cut it?
