Combing out locs after 1 year / combing out my microlocs 

Quick suggestion for anyone who wants to take down their locks. Get the *Taliah Waajid Bodifier spray* and apply it excessively over the hair, let it set for about 10 then start to detangle. Makes your hair super soft and poofy, gives alot of slippage and helps detangle like a dream! Trust me its good! You will thank me later lol....

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.

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 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 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!

you’re the queen of patience lol! you look beautiful, hope you enjoy the new (or old) hair! 💕

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.

Noooo loved them but happy you ended up doing what you wanted. You inspired me to finally get mine. I got my first Interloc on my new growth yesterday and so far I convinced 3 people to join the journey too

You did a brilliant job undoing it all, after a day I would of just big chopped!! Lint is a issue with my locs too.

I have approximately 200 microlocs. If I ever decide to take them out, I will definitely cut them off! I don't have the patience to take them down.

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!!!!!

Last year I started and combed out my locs. I had 77 and it took me 4 days. Then after about a week I ended up cutting all of my loose natural hair off 😂 You have so much patience because I’m cutting my next set off if I ever

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!…

I would have never took them out they where beautiful. Now every day you get up it's time spent in the mirror doing your hair. I wish you the best your beautiful no matter what you do to your hair it's the beauty inside you .thanks for sharing your journey my Queen

If I end my loc journey, I'll definitely cut it all off lol, and I don't have nearly a thousand locs. But I have had them for a lot longer. I can't imagine detangling mature locs.

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 🥰

It's amazing that you were able to get the locs out. Your hair is beautiful...❤️

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.

Thanks for sharing this. You embody the words Patience and Dedication.

ive been wearing yarn braids for the past three years without any breaks. i redo every braid about 195 last count every 2/3 wks i examine every braid for breakage and spilt ends my hair has grown alot and but ive been toying with the idea of doing microlocs or dreadlocs im taking my time in deciding on what to do the thought of taking out my braids gives me panic attacks and so much anxiety ive passed out and them when i watch the micro locs take down it creates even more doubt. if i never took my yarn braids out for the rest of life id be happy women . do anyone else feel like that about thier hair or am i just crazy. i wonder if ill love dreadlocs or micro locs as much as i do my yarns braids. im so confused. your hair is gorgeous and you did a wonder job.

It was grueling combing my traditional locs out several years ago locked 4 years now I have interlocks love them!!! 💕💕💕

Many people think that when someone takes down locs they've had for a long time and lose a lot of hair, it's because the hair was all shed hair making the hair look longer than it was. But I think the process of taking them down causes a lot of damage and breakage. Women with long locs they've had for a long time do have a lot of really long hair that's attached to their head, but they lose it during take down. What do you think?

AHHHH I COULDNT 😫😫 I have locs, but I wouldn’t be able to commit to micro locs. So much patience, girl.

You were my loc goal 😭😭😭 I been showing stylist your hair.

a few years ago I came across one of your videos you made me want to do micro locks and then I lost sight of your videos and mtn I finally find you and surprise you undo your locks well.

If you decide to get them again in the future, I would refrain from using any products other than shampoo in your hair. This will keep the lint out of your hair

😊 I love how you speak! Anyways...I probably would comb mine out if I ever took them out! But, I don't think I ever will. I would also never do 1000 microlocs...524 is quite enough for me! I just cant see maintaining loose natural hair everyday! 😰😨😳

I'm almost 1yr into my microlocs journey. I think if I decided to end my journey I would cut my locs but it depends on where I'm at in my journey. Loved your locs but glad to made a decision best for you and your journey!

Man they were so beautiful. I currently have medium size locs and wish I had sister locs.

I did a combo: cut half my loc length and then combed it out. It cut down in the take down process significantly.

I know this video is old, but did you ever use your shed hair to make homemade hair extensions? I’ve never heard of that before, but if you were actually able to do it- WOW!

Wow... you combed out your locs. Beautiful hair.

Wow, you had patience as your locs were tiny and your hair is super long! I'm crying just thinking about the prospect of undoing and restarting my locs after just 4 months! I have about 250. I'm dreading it but needs must.

Omg what a journey. You have so much patience 😲😲

I love your hair either way❤️ thanks for sharing! I have 379 micro locs 3 months in

I did that 10 years ago and here I am locked again. Wow

I have somewhere around a thousand locs. I wouldn’t dare try to count them. I’m 14 months in on my Microloc journey and I’ve just decided today to grow my hair out enough to cut it into a TWA. I seriously miss my Afro and the versatility from having loose natural 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 mean I got patience with my hair but not this much patience lol Id be bald !

I love how every video on your channel is about you doing something new and daring🫡… you are really really patient and talented,thanks for sharing

I combed Mines out too a week ago and started near when You started lol! But I want My locs back now!

Your hair is beautiful either way 😍

I combed out my locs with a special tool and retained sooo much of my hair 😅

I’ve already decided I’m just gonna cut it when I’m done with my locs. Not because I don’t wanna do the work or have the patience to comb them out, but because I don’t wanna be a loose natural again. I’d rather have no hair than do that lol

A crochet hook would of done absolute wonders for you 😊

They looked great. I wish I had so many sigh.... Best wishes

I admire your patience!

I’m in the process of coming out micro Locs. I hasn’t even been 6 months. I’ll never want Locs again. Im over it.

Thanks so much for your generosity in sharing your knowledge!

Good job. Knowing me and my thin patience, I would have grabbed those scissors. Lovely hair though.

Was definitely fuller before your locs… I broke plenty of combs lol

Thank you for explaining what happened! Did the length of reties contribute to why you got rid of them? I'm currently installing very small microlocs and it's a concern for me.

Oh my God! Your lock takedown hurt my heart! Is that why you have been absent from youtube? You were my go to lock advice channel

Should definitely change your name to crazy girl lol. I admire your patience and perseverance 😭

Hi! You did a great job! What kind of needle did you use and where did you get it? I want to comb out the ends of my locs.

Your locs were gorgeous!! What made you decide to take out?

Wow, if I lost that much hair in a year, I would be bald. Apparently, you have very thick hair😮.

Wow to your patience. I will just shave it off

I combed mine out back in March by using a tac. My hair is shedding still and I’ve been trimming a lot. Considering starting again, but not micros.

MY GOODNESS. When God made you, He poured a whole ocean's worth of patience into you.

The patience you have, ma'am 😭

Still watching video..just wanted to comment on how much I really like your nails ..

Hello. I have a question. Love your content by the way. I dont want micro locs but i want micro twist. Do you know how long i can keep my twists in before they start to loc up? What is the maintenance? Thank you!!😀

Why? They were beautiful 🤩

Beautiful full hair

You have such a beautiful hair

Why did you remove them 🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️ I have been following you

My ends kept looking raggedy too when I combed locs out kept cutting and cutting til I had pixie cut and mine was as long as yours

This was amazing😱😱 i will also try this😊😊

You are beautiful!!☮️💕

You never mentioned why you took them down???

Lol I ain’t taking mine out anytime soon but will you ever go back to locs? Or nah

I would have done the big chop. It grows back faster anyways...

That's why I can't get locs , can't stand dirty hair or any type of lint stuck in my hair.

Maybe your hair wasn’t getting proper moisture while locked

i just watched your video on how yk put them in😭

Cool

What kind of locs do you suggest for extremely thick hair?

I'm taking mines down after two months.

No I just regrew mine out again

I would cut mine cause I recently combed one out after accidentally knotting the root while retieing.. it was no hair left. I had to take the hair and make a loc out of it and reattach 😆

Beautiful

I know I’m late pls tell me how long it took in have sister locs and I really wanna take them out

Nice

The hair on your nape is gone so why bother combining them out? Why not just cut them out?

Was it interlock

are you going to sell your loc extension you make? lmk

Are you happy with the final results?

Wow

You shouldn't ask your viewers to give their opinions, bc you get offended when we don't say what you want to hear.

Admire you but I Do NOT have this patience

Microlocs sound good for less work. When i learned you guys have to go and take each strand and tie it under every two months? No thank you. Its just as much time as dealing with natural hair.

I've had mine for about a year and want to take mine down too, but I don't know what I'd do with my hair while I'm in the process of removing them. I think I might just end up cutting them off.

There's something slightly twilight zone about this woman 🤔.

You lost ALOT of hair or one year. Just seems slot. 🤷🏽‍♀️😌

nah, not worth all the time invested.. your hair was weaker, didnt grow much and had damaged ends that you had to cut. i dont see the benefits🤔 ijs💁🏽‍♀️

I saw this coming! What a waste of time considering that you had good hair

*What is the Gospel?* The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Romans 10:9 9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. JESUS CHRIST can come anytime! REPENT OF YOUR SINS Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS
