- We shaved our dreadlocks after we found out we got lice in Hawaii!

Prevent catching lice and other problems! We didn't have any of our dread products with us! :(
Bringing you this video 1 year after shaving our dreadlocks in September of 2017. We loved having dreadlocks and all that it taught us and brought us, and were sad to lose them this way. We found it to be so ironic!
Sometimes we think we may do them again in the future since they fit into our lifestyles so well. For now, we are enjoying the aftermath of the dread journey, and all that has taught us, too.
You do NOT need to shave, cut, or brush out your dreadlocks if you get lice. You can treat it with lice shampoo several times (to kill the lice and eggs that can't be brushed out) and keep your dreads (as well as dead lice bodies inside) or, you can brush them out and proceed to treat the normal way with shampoo and combing out of eggs.
We just had the lice for so long (3 months) that there were sooo many inside our dreadlocks. We had begun to feel disconnected to them throughout the unknown infestation, as well as feeling over-identified with them.
It ended up being a huge blessing in the end. It helped us let go of a chapter of our lives and step into a new one.

My head started itching when you said lice.
Sparky 1998 saaaame
😂😂😂
Same I searched my head cause had dread extensions installed for first time a week ago and head been itching so bad sence.. No lice whew thankfully
My head itched when i read this comment
Me too. What a nightmare!
So by the time you realized you had lice you had already had them for 3 months? Didn’t you see the eggs?
They look like lint when you wash your hair
Wow. No clickbait, just the topic of the video in the title and everything we need to know about, not exaggerating and hiding a reason that may be "disturbing" to RUclips watchers. Plus a picture of the after in the thumbnail! I really appreciate that!
Thanks for noting! :) We try!~
Lice are visible to the naked eye. I don't understand how it took you so long to figure it out.
We admit we may have been in denial... but we often thought it was a combo of lint, skin flakes, and hair bulbs! 🤮
If you wash your hair or go to swim daily the grownups fall and the eggs stay looking like dandruff
This comment is dumb. It's easy to miss.
Shay Pond not a dumb comment, they absolutely ARE NOT easy to miss. You can see and feel them crawling and the eggs attached to the hair look nothing like dandruff but like little glue balls on the hair. They had to been so infested by the time they figured it out.
Looks like we have lice EXPERTS afoot😮 specially trained to educate those in the comments about the dreadful insect they have STUDIED for YEARS at high class institutions and earned master degrees on lice👌
I completely understand how much it sucks having to chop off something that had so much love and work put into it, but I absolutely love how supportive both of you two were to each other, and how much your partner loved you and kept reinforcing how amazing and loved you are! Keep that shit up!
"We googled lice and it was lice" Idk why this made me laugh, I think it was the way you said it...im actually early for a video though ❤❤
Ellie Benedict same lmbo
Ellie your comment made me laugh
I loved seeing your emotional release! Sending love and positive changes to you. I am proud. My hair decided to freeform dreadlocks 2 years ago and it has brought me so much change, but nothing is permanent! I am excited for whenever change comes. 🤲💕
Her voice is so calming
Hair doesn't matter, your luminess, your inner beauty and your wisdom have much deeper roots than just that. ❤️
Just a tip for those struggling with lice, or for a quick tip for future reference.
I had lice a few years back, I tried every medicine on the shelf, never worked!
I found that the best thing to use is Vinegar!
It stinks, and it took my breath away, but it killed all the lice (My sister gave me her lice, which stewed in her hair for weeks, or a month) within the first 2-3 washes.
I leaned over the sink and had my mom pour it in my hair, and as she did I scrubbed through my hair. After that. A thick gel, hair gel whatever you have, leave it in your hair and it will suffocate remaining louse.
(The hairdresser I asked said if you don't have Gel, use mayo. That stuff stinks, too though!)
Thank me later!
Kayotic Munkee Also MAYO. I can no longer stand the smell of mayo, but it sure suffocated all the lice when I was little.
@@catherinewashere1 Exactly! That's what I was told by a hairdresser. Mayo suffocates the suckers.
They used mayo on an episode of the office
Oil (I would use coconut oil) suffocates lice while vinegar dissolves the “glue” that keeps the eggs attached to the hair. Also a preventative measure is to put some tea tree oil into your shampoo and conditioner because lice hate these kinds of essential oils.
Use tea tree oil, vinegar is a waste of time in 90% of cases
When you have lice it's not only about shaving, you have to clean actually everything you own so that none can survive.
And hey: It's just hair, it will grow back!
Nope.
Die Läuse leben auf dem Wirt. Sie sind auf ihn angewiesen. Sie brauchen Wärme und Blut für Ihren gesamten Lebenszyklus. Läuse leben nicht in Kleidung, Kuscheltieren oder krabbeln wild in den Sachen des Wirts herum, sie halten sich nah am Körper auf.
Nach dem rasieren brauchen die Haare aber noch eine weitere Behandlung mit einem Anti- Läuse Mittel und das auskämmen der Nissen. Dies muss ein weiteres Mal wiederholt werden 14-19 Tage nach der Erstbehandlung.
Da dieses auskämmen jedoch mit locs nicht möglich ist, ist es bei einem schweren Befall die beste Wahl das Haar zu rasieren.
You are so beautiful Glo! Thank you so much for sharing this. I can't imagine how hard it has been. I have been following you because I am about to start my dread journey and you have been such an inspiration to me for so long! I totally cried with you while watching this. Thank you for being YOU!
When she started to cry I lost it I couldn’t and he was so supportive ahhh 😭😭
Absolute light and love all through my fingertips, you guys are inspiring. Thank you
I just had to shave my head today because I was so sick of the endless treatments.
Much more emotionally touching than I thought it would be. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
Triumph through tragedy is always beautiful. You truly Glow.
I wanted to cry omg. I feel you girl, you are strong and awesome and hair can always grow back!
Wow she looks so courageous when she cuts her hair 💗💗 respect
I cant even imagined how u guys felt but I am so glad this helped u so much
I couldn't imagine this! You inspired me so much with my dread journey, I'm so sorry this happened to your locs. You both rock the short crops though! I cried with you during the cutting.
Much love xx
Please read my comment above and reply I would like your input. :)
Caucasian dreads look like the grinch’s fingers.
Edit: STRAIGHT HAIR dreads**
🤣 Oh shit! I don't agree w/you 100% as I've seen exceptions, but I still got a good laugh out of it.
Some white people's dreadlocks look dope, guess it depends on their hair texture, since it does range.
i had to Google the gringe
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 omg funny
Your relaxed hair looks like straw.
@@haydenfoxx6185 all straight hair has the possibility to look like straw. What of it? And her her hair looks healthy.
I didn't have lice, but last year I started cutting my hair into a very short pixie, and it was nearly shaved.. I am not sure why, just needed a change, the desire to "start over" and see what was really there after years of dyeing it. I relate to how you say this strips the ego.. it sure does. It has been humbling, and cleansing, and a huge letting go of a past phase of "me". It has been growing back, and new beginnings come with it. Highly symbolic.
that sucks, but you know what? you still look damn beautiful with your new hair style! you rock it!!
I cried with you... I couldn't imagine... PSA- don't try on thrift store hats! Or hats in general haha
I was quite crying too when editing that part, it was surprising how raw it still felt! And about the thrift store hats... I donno what i was thinking. Guess it had to happen. 😒 Thanks for watching!
I scrolled down to comment "I cried with you" but before I could I saw that you had already posted this. I love how we feel for others
Yes, don't try on any hat anywhere. A brand new hat in an expensive store may have been tried on by a person with lice just as easily as at a thrift store.
Actually it's pretty uncommon to find that people are infected with lice via clothing items like hats and scarves as well as combs and other personal grooming tools, you're much more likely to be infected from direct contact to another humans hair. Head lice have feet adaptad to hold onto human hair specifically so they have trouble with holding onto other surfaces like hats and combs, nits (eggs) die withing a week after being separated from their human host and nymphs (live babies) die within a few hours of birth not fed. While it is a risk it's really not as big of one as people think it is.
Love you glow! I'm glad you shared this🧡❤
I’ve gotten rid of my dreads twice and regretted it twice. Watching this is so heart wrenching. People outside the community don’t understand how much a part of you your dreads become. I’m glad you were ready to let go.
✌🏼💗😘
@@beckykent435 Well there is a dread care community as we do have different care for our hairs. It's like the natural afro hair community.
i find peace listening to you talk x
Thank you for saying so♡♡♡
I loved my dreadlocks with all of my heart but after they were gone, I felt a new freedom. A freedom that wasn't there before I got dreads. It's a feeling that is definitely hard to explain but it felt great and sad all at the same time. I grew my hair out for 9 years without one snip and then all at once, it was gone. I can relate to many of the feelings you displayed during this video and I will always miss my dreads but I'm better off without them. Now that my family and I are moving into a 40 foot school bus conversion to document us traveling the world I almost wish I had my dreads which to me represented freedom to do whatever I wanted when I got them.. but nah, I like dreadless me. Much love to you guys :-)
OMG I was so sad when u started crying,I almost cried for u,you look amazing though with no hair,and your hair will grow back and u can have dreads again in no time..sorry that u both had to go through that..thanks for sharing with us..
I had a half head of dreadlocks when I got lice a couple of months ago. I was so scared but I shaved my head along with my family. It's been almost 3 months and I am just starting to enjoy my new haircut now. Right now I am actually going threw some social anxiety but I'm hopping that I learn from it. I'm thinking that this journey of mine will just help me gain more self confidence!
Thankyou for posting your video it makes me feel so much better! You are beautiful!🌻🐦🌼
The feels 😭 that's so sad. I'm glad you found the positive outlook on the situation.
Thank you for identifying the feelings of liberation! We all need to do something drastic sometimes in order to encourage growth! Your still foxy as hell :)
Girl! You look so good with a shaved head. I'm a little jealous, I do not have the bone structure to pull it off. Ive never had locs, but recently a big part of my identity has come from my hair. Which is blonde and waist length. I know people think its shallow or silly to be upset about hair. But it's a part of expressing yourself in a tangible way. Don't listen to the hate, You're fantastic! 😊
Erin Noir omg I can so relate to this comment. My hair is to my butt and everyone always comments on my hair, it is just part of who I am. I kinda wanna cut but I also wanna keep it since it makes me special...
I feel your struggle--- thank you for sharing!
Wow! You made me cry when you were crying as you were cutting them!
Glow: "You should not be doing that."
Glow's Cat: "You're right, Mom." *climbs down.*
Your kitter cat is adorable.
Im confused why not put the damn camera down
Dude. She's a RUclipsr. She wanted to share with us. Let her be
@@dr_amalia dude. You aren't hearing me. I was talking about when you can't cut dreads and hold a camera at the same time? Then it's not sharing. It's awkward. Not every single second must be recorded. So nah. I'm not even sure why you say let her be. I'm not not letting her be. Such a negative comment for a simple observation. The fact she put a heart on it shows they are also judgemental. Not very peace like behaviours.
@@LBABYLiN Even if this was 8 months ago, you gotta take a chill-pill and stop nagging about little things someone does wrong. I swear, if you're in a relationship, you probably tell them every 5 minutes how they can do things differently, while speaking in a tone that represents your comment. Basically: "Are you dumb? Why are you doing *that* and not *this*", do you see where the other person is coming from? Please consider using a different way of commenting if you don't want someone replying, saying "Let them be".
@@3l3v3n6 gotta take a chill pill? Stop nagging? You dont know what that word even means to be saying it..... you're very presumptuous for a stranger arent you. Baffled
@@3l3v3n6 I wasnt rude or negative at all. Maybe point that finger on yourself cos you're the only comment here offensive. Unreal way of behaving.
I have a massive fear of lice. My daughter is in school and so whenever there's an email about them my heart sinks. I'm really careful with combing her hair and keeping a check on her though, since I know how tough it is to treat with dreads so don't want to get them. I'm really glad you were able to let go of them and I hope it's an exciting adventure figuring out who you are after shedding your dreads!
I caught lice this Xmas, 3.5 years with dreads and I panicked.. first time at 60 years old I got lice🤬
I brushed out my dreads and washed the hair 4 times first day, and every 3 days there after for 1 month with ACV and the moisturiser it, but I didn’t brush my hair after the first week of using a lice comb. Once I was sure I was lice free I just let my hair go back into dreads. This time the hair just settled into their own dreads naturally. Now I am really careful whom I get close to. Or should I say who my head gets close too lol
I cried with you! Your perspective is inspiring! You're a badass goddess! Thank you for sharing!
Letting go of the old to welcome the new.. beautiful process that you did it together.
I am so proud of you both. I love thinking of all the little birdies who grabbed your hairs and used them to build their nests
I would have cried too! Lol how brave of you guys to share 😊🙏
However the growth you gained from the experience and transformation was ironically worth it ✌😁
Omg that was so powerful. I just cry for u both and I could feel ur sadness, but let go of the old and welcome the new, u both like awesome thank u for sharing much love
Ugh, I get it. I would cry too if I were forced to cut my locs. You look great with a shaved head, though. It's hard to express the empowerment one gets from shaving her head. It's unimaginably freeing.
Totally feel with you 💞 I can't imagine to cut of my dreads if it won't be the time to let go...
So much love ✌
OMG I FREAKING LOVE HER HEAD SHAVED! SHE LOOKS AMAZING!!!!
That made me so sad to hear you cry! 😥 but you look beautiful. I find when I need a new beginning I do something drastic to my hair, part of letting go... Hugs n positive vibes 🙏
For anyone in the same situation - a hairdryer kills lice eggs, but doesn’t kill the adults.
So just use a hairdryer daily for a couple of weeks - it doesn’t even have to be on wet hair. Eventually the adults will die out and there will be no new hatchlings.
It’s a very simple method!
Heat kills alot and so does salt. Wonder if salt will work too... Thanks for the tip. May consider dreds now
Ik this was a year ago, but can a flat iron kill them too? Im giving it 7 days to leave lol from treatment before outright shaving
@@heidi.2197 Not sure, but just use a hairdryer daily if you can - with focus on the roots. Heat kills the eggs, so you have to keep this up for a couple of weeks until the adults die out naturally, but it’s an amazing chemical free cure!
Awe glo i cried with you..m i felt that ive never had dreads but i felt that..when one door closes another door opens. And sometimes we need to cry to release so many emotions.
Title: Shaving Our Dreadlocks // We Got Lice
Lice Shampoo: AM I A JOKE TO U
Broke my heart. But your right its humbling and the beautiful thing is you had your partner with you to share this pain with
We all love you. Don’t cry!!!! ❤️ your are so brave for doing this. And so beautiful with short hair. ❤️
I recently shaved my hair too. Not because I had problems with my long hair or because of lice, but because I wanted to try it. I can relate to what you said about how you feel more comfortable about your beauty so much. I feel the same way. Thank you for sharing that.
I allways thought that women with no hair look incredible beautiful and powerful. You do too.
Your crying break my heart...I couldn't imagine how I feel If I must shave my Dreads.
But you are looking so cool with the short hair!
How brave of you to do this. I felt for u so much when u cried, but the way ur man reassured you by ''your looking so cool and beautiful'' and how he loves you is heartwarming. Your hair does not define your beauty, You look wonderful either way..
I cried with you when you were cutting them out. I couldn’t imagine.. 😞 Your still beautiful with or without them! 🌸
Awe😥 I cry too when I watch that part ... all da feels!
white people with dreads look so unclean
God you made me cry! But Hawaii has a way of healing the soul in ways we can't understand at the moment it happens! Women and our hair. Once it's gone we are faced with confronting who we are inside. So proud of you and you are beautiful inside AND OUT. Your hair did not define you and your inner spirit was finally allowed to breathe! Thank you for sharing both your journey's! Namaste!
Hey I had to chop my hair due to an appendectal tumor. Those same sorta sobs came out of me but I am sure you agree coming into your own without the shield of hair is so liberating.
Sorry to hear that! Cant imagine going through something like that. And yes, so liberating!♡ Huge release .
Lovely transformation for you both. I love you and wish you peace and happiness. 🌏❤
Great new beginning. So cleansing and purifying. Excellent🐳🐬🐟🐠
I cried my heart out as you cried, tbh... I hope you guys are doing great, sincerely 💕
This was really a sad video, especially when you started crying. It broke my heart. I pray that you have totally healed from the trauma of it and and grew back your locs with your husband. God bless you both.
I just binged watched your videos. You are a special human with a bright and vibrant soul. I respect your journey so much and I feel solidarity with you in terms of shedding parts of who you are, releasing your ego, redefining, reimagining, recreating yourself as many times as you are compelled to do so in your own time and on your own terms. Thank you! Please feel free to stay in touch if you desire
I mean...what did u expect😂
Jaye cliff no I mean they must have known that they would’ve had to shave off their hair if they caught lice which they did
You don’t have to shave your hair if you get lice with dreads. There’s tons of ways to treat your hair. Most people just assume you can’t or they just want to shave it to get rid of it and be done. I personally would shave mine too so I get it. My daughter caught it over the summer this year and luckily I didn’t catch it (this time anyways)
Amber Gray I’m aware but I mean she chose to shave hers but I just say she looks beautiful with or without hair
Amber Gray yeah but the dead bodies of the lice and the eggs still stay there unless you comb them out, I would’ve shaved my head as well
They would wash out with a few washes and deep cleansing.
You two look amazing!!! That must feel good too.
beautifully and artistically shot ! Thanks 4 sharing : )
the shaved head is everythinggggggg
Omg! You took is so well! I would have been screaming and setting my dreads on fire!
I cried too!! You look beautiful with and without the dreads!
Thank you for making this video! I'm going through the same issue right now and I have a plan to go to Brazil this summer, and it's very hard to give up on dreads... So I've decided to get my long hair back and to curl up new dreadlocks before that time. Lices suck, but they inspired you to make a great video, and I wish no person in the world have them. Thank you for being open with this issue and sharing it. You guys are amazing. Greeting from Ukraine.
This made me so emotional.💜You're so beautiful🦋
It's okay girl these things happen sometimes and it was the way of the universe telling you to let go and be free. You'll have a new better set one day and they will be even more special💕
Oh honey. That made me cry too. My son and I both have dreads and we got lice from my friend’s kids. Thankfully we were able to get rid of it but it took us both a week and 2 treatments.
What a relief you were able to easily treat them!♡
What did you use?
What did you use
I literally never thought of having lice with dreads and how lice would effects dreads thx for this💯👍🏼 btw you both look amazing❤️❤️
It has been nearly a year since I cut mine and it was only recently that I stopped longing for them in the inner recesses of my mind. I wasn't ready to let go of mine when I did it. Now I don't regret it and am happy with my curls, but damn I was in a struggle months and months after.
I've watched a bunch of your videos and I don't know how I missed that you live in Utah. I have dreadlocks and have lived in Utah for years. Just a fun little thing to find out!! Thanks for sharing.
I remember when I got lice battled with it trying to get rid of them for a while but just ended up cutting off all my hair
it really wasn’t for your hair type any way
That was so beautiful. She almost made me cry for her and it was so wonderful to watch. Where is your hair now? I mean in length.
I like the way you narrated and called him the man, that was funny lol
Hearing you cry broke my heart.
Wow! you just made me want to shave my head! You crying just tore my empath heart out. Blessings..
title made me laugh, bye bye white dreads lmao
Kinda rude.
@@r7dioboy Uhhh... How? Being themselves they deserve to go through something that makes them sad? Jesus.
Y'all are literally sociopathic. Dreads don't belong to a fucking race so stop being so butthurt maybe :)
"ehh my body my choice" until it's something ya'll don't like, huh?
Lol. Stay pressed about people getting dreads. What a stupid thing to get upset about, a stupid childish thing 😂 the entitlement among you guys is rediculous. You aren't better than anyone.
I literally cried with you. Thank you for teaching me so much on dreads!
You’re awesome with dreads or without!!
Blessings on your new journey
I was wondering where you guys went. I know after you left for Hawaii you kind of disappeared and I had just started getting into your videos and I absolutely adore you guys. But I'm kind of glad that you lost your dreads cuz I wasn't on a dread Journey I just loved you guys so much and I think it's nice that I'll be able to watch your videos for other reasons not just for dreads. Maybe some more jewelry videos or just some more blogs. Either way I wish you guys the best and blessings and happiness
I actually cried watching you guys cut them off......cheers...to a new adventure!
aw i love his support for her
I honestly think the shaved look is much better and compliments both of them! 😅I hope it grows healthy!
I sympathize with you on the emotional toll this has taken. Bless up walk good
Ive fot my head shaving date. Ive only had my dreads for three years now but they are down to my bum. Im ONLY cutting them off cause i cant wear them down cause i cant maintain them by myself and have offered numerous people money to help me. So as soon as hat weather is here im saving my dreads. I always thoufht of myslef as that old grey haired dreadhead with the dreads down to the ground
Its a shame that you can't maintain your dreads yourself,they sound fabulous,can you not rethink and find a way to keep them,must of taken ages to get them down to your bum as you put it?
I agree with Sarah Cox, however you will know what's right for you. Email us if you wanna potentially set up a time to maintain yours. ♡
Did you think about cutting them shorter, for easier maintenance? I started my own and maintain my locks.
This was beautiful, I cried with you. You absolutely rock it with or without dreads ❤️
Cuttingyour locks is so emotional
all of her videos are like that?
because i LOVE IT
Kinda :) Thanks!
Looks dope!!
This video was soon emotional for me. My very first set got lice the week after my mom died and I had to shave my hair off aswell.. right after losing someone. So it's like I lost my identity and my person. I'm now on my 3rd set and I survived. ❤
Such a calm voice
At the end, all i saw was a cute cat
If that happened to me, I would be DEVASTATED! To have lice and have to cut off such a beautiful set of dreads... I can only imagine how horrible that must have been for you guys. You are such a strong woman to not only endure that challenge, but to find the blessing through it and create a new version of yourself. Your hair doesn't define you. You are beautiful inside and out! ❤❤❤
HOLY MOLY YOU LOOK GORGEOUS WITH SHAVED HEAD!!! 💖💖😍😍
Are you going to re grow your dreads and if so can you blog it from beginning and show how to start new dreads and show us month to month on how it is progressing new dreads pls.
Such a beautiful story
