First Silk Press After 8 Year LOC Removal | Silk Press and trim on natural hair 

@K LG you can comb them out. Takes awhile!

Thanks so much for coming to see me and trusting me with your beautiful hair ❤️❤️✨✨💯

K LG lots of conditioner, water and patience

@K LG you should go on youtube and watch people comb their locs out. locs are essential matted strands of hair so a lot of conditioner, patience and days (or weeks) before it gets combed out.

I'm combing mines out right now. I should be done today and I'm on week 2. And I second what she says about the process.

So true !

Especially the white people 😭 “OMGGG I like it this way better! 😝😝” like go on

Morgan Lea 🤣😂sis I kknnnooowww I read that in the voice you typed 😂liikkee o..m...ggggg, seriously? Is that a weave?! 😂😂

@@morganlea5242 Guh yes I wore my natural hair blown out all the white ppl kept telling me "Awwww I love your hair its alot of it take me back to the 70's 🤣🤣🤣 I had my Erykah Badu going on

Ana G i swear thats how they be a weave like what is "a weave"

The tea is she took her time she told me it was taken out over the span of a month and she actually took out the last few Locs the morning of her press

Loose curl pattern helps

@@Jessx Absolutely. I'm convinced that certain hair textures are less prone to damage. Now if I locked my hair and tried to take it out I'm sure I would have sooo much damage. It would be a nightmare.

​@@9darshana Yep. I had to go ahead and just cut off all my dreads. I'm type 4.

@@Jessx I'm type 4 too, mostly 4c, but I was able to unlock my locks. Its about taking your time, adding slip, and starting with healthy hair from the beginning I went to a professional lock remover though.

agree, I find it a little hard to believe.

Shenita Lobley she said she took the dreads over the course of a month and only took a few last ones before the video was recorded. I dunno if that makes it more believable, my hair is as straight as it gets and I’m a boy so I’m not gonna pretend to understand about how this works, just thought I’d share the explanation she gave when someone on the comments questioned how her hair looked so good🙃

Jasmine love right

It ain't too late maybe she can still upload..🤞

Shenita Lobley it can be done! I had locs for a year and my hair was as long as hers! Then I was over it and chopped it all off! Put in locs again for 6 months took them down. My hair is shoulder level rn.

Ange N.O. Same😭

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I SAID TO MYSELF 🙌🏽🙌🏽‼️

Ange N.O. Same ! I’m Mexican but have thin hair and the first section was just my whole head 😂! She has beautiful hair

@@Littlekitten_ same! Lol im Mexican too but she has more hair in that one section then my entire head times two! Wish I had curls like that 😭

@@Littlekitten_ ditto!

I hate straightening my hair because straightening natural hair is 🥴

Cuz curly hair is so mesmerizing. That’s why lol

Duuude same. I used to straighten my hair a ton, like in my picture, not anymore as much.. My daughter has ringlet curls and one day when she was a toddler said she wanted to straighten her hair like me to make hers pretty. I stopped. I said baby yours is pretty and that's how Mommy's hair is too without this..

I'm 🇵🇷 and 🇨🇺 and have this texture. Sooooo come again 😆

@@ToldNotSold290 i cuz she is not afro latina

Exactly. Hair like hers. I'd love to see a 4c person remove their locs after several years and look so full and long

@chaianne jones yeah but it's easier for loose textured hair.

@@lettea.437 I removed my 4c locs. ( I am a real 4c, and an indigenous African) I was able to keep a lot of my length. Whatever length I lost was because Ihad damaged the ends with henna , but the undamaged parts were very healthy and full and thick. First thing I did after was to get a silk press

@@politereminder6284 helpful comment! Good to know. Guess it can be done. How long were you loc'd for? Did your hair ever matt?

@@lettea.437 I was loc'd for 6 years and a few months. Twirling loc method. I didn't get any matting. I hired a professional who came to undo my hair in a day. It took a lot of conditioner for slip, but he got it done in a day. If doing it alone, go slowly. I asked him to cut off my ends though, because I didn't want them, but he could have done the whole length of them if I had wanted.

Five months?! I have a day job!

@Jada Nichole I was talking about my sister but okay.

@@luzestrella940 she was in university and had a job which was why it took so long

No u can unlock ur hair. If you do it right u will still have hair

Yeah I thought the same thing. I will need to learn how to do it then for when I decide to take my locs out.

Sunshyne A it isn’t really difficult, I’ve done it twice. You just have to get your hair really wet and moisturized with water and conditioner, then slowly comb it out with a small but strong thin toothed comb. It’s takes a while, but that way is safest for your hair.

@@nasjewilliams7185 good to know, thanks but what I am not sure of is if it can be done on sister locs which is what I have or is it the traditional locs that are easy to comb out?... Do you know?

Sunshyne A it can also be done on sister locs but it’s just going to take a longer time. I imagine it to be really hard to work with small locs such as those but it’s not impossible.

Lol, walnuts

No one is saying you *need* it, just that it's easier. Walnut.

@@blueismylove3128 It would not be easier you walnut. (That's what I said before) In fact it's more difficult. And that's a lie literally the people in the comments are saying her hair is that length and health because of her texture. That's my stance in this redundant argument of the comments. Because her hair is loose it provided less friction for locs to stay resulting in her having to care care of her hair in a different more difficult way that people with kinky hair. It's not easier and of course combing them out was probably different than the way I would comb them out. Its n ou t that difficult to understand.

@@EndMeNowPls People like you are no use. It is harder, hard headed. A person with straight hair getting locs would have an easier time taking them out then someone with 4c hair. It's not really that hard to understand, Hun. Both can have healthy result, one just has an easier time getting it.

@@blueismylove3128 no people with loose or more precisely straight hair literally have to knot their hair. that should not be hard to understand. Where as people with kinky curly and curly hair like me have to just comb out their hair to separate it unless it is interlocked. That's a differnt story. Kinky hair just has to be combed and moistened to take them apert. Source I've taken out my locs on loose hair locs. Get it together I know what I'm talking about you fricking rock. Not only do people with loose and straight hair lose more hair it dries out their hair more because their hair type just lest out the moister rendering them dry. Where as kinky and coily hair traps what moiser is in because it already traps and absorbs moister because it thrives on it.

In a different comment she said the client took about a month to take the locs out, she took her time

Locs can be a great protective style. My friend wore locs for few years to grow her hair out and took it out. You will need a good trim but you will have a lot of length depending on how long you had it.

I’m confused so she never washed her hair in that time while having locks? How does it work

Sandi the locs were her real hair. People with locs still wash their hair regularly

@@duckey3681 so was it sister locks? Or Dred locks?

yes

Locs can be done as a protective style. My friend did it

I have had locs for a year and a half and have been taking them down slowly over 3 months cause that was my preference. I'm using tweezers and a spray bottle of warm water and conditioner. The only hair coming out is the shed hair that I accumulated during that time but I retained length without having to cut. It's possible if you're patient

@@avasd59 I combed my locs of 5 1/2 years out in a week and a half. My hair was still healthy and actually its healthiest since being out. My mom had skinnier locs than me and her hair thinned on the sides more. Retwisting the new growth of locs too often is what causes the thinning.

Krystle Neal yes ma’am 🙌🏾

Shronda Smith that is such important work. Thanks for all you do

@@dd4271 Thanks for your feedback stay safe and be blessed..

Be safe, Chicagoan too..

@@michellegomez5429 thanks for your feedback thank you my sister be safe and be blessed as well.

A Girl Has No Name You’re right, thank you for reminding me!

Yeah she didn't need it straightened

Yes! You should also check out a channel called deeper than hair. It's proper silk-press satisfaction. 😍

susanne anique yesssss shes the 🐐

lol thanks so much love

Cassandra Olivia where are you located?

Right, probably just title it that way to get views

how does the hair usually look after taking out locs?

What does it have to look like? I took out my locs twice before and it just looked like regular hair afterwards...

Nikki M now she’s explaining and telling y’all in this video that woman had locks for 8 years and you basically calling her a lie and saying she just made up a title! Y’all gotta stop smh!

She also said she two strand twisted before she came, but I understand if you was expecting to see worse. After I see ppl take out there locs it’s usually choppy due to patience on taking it out and improper care.

Thank you so much

I had dread locs for eight years. And combed them out loc by loc over the past few weeks...literally combing out the last before seeing Cassandra. Starting my loc’s was a spiritual experience, and combing them out was the same.

o c Is that stylist in Miami? If anyone knows a good stylist in Miami please let me know.

You should look up combing out loc videos on RU-vid

She had locks for 8 years and then combed them out. I don’t know if u knew that was possible.

Locs are NOT matted hair. That’s a horrible misconception about having locs and often why people associate locs with being poor/lazy/unkept. Secondly, her hair is healthy. Healthy hair will always be beautiful because it’s taken care of.

No you can comb them out BUT it takes a long time.

Michelle Watkins yes

@Michelle Watkins the only time I've seen texture matter with locs is if a white person has them and it doesn't look as neat. Otherwise, you can have locs as a person with 4c hair or looser texture curls and be fine with how you comb them out. Just wet them and let them soak in conditioner before picking. It took me a week to take my locs out after having them for 5 1/2 years and I'm type 4b.

@Michelle Watkins any texture type can comb out locs. I combed out my 4c locs after 6 years. It was lovely.

@Michelle Watkins my sister had locs in for 6 months and they barely touched her neck. She picked them out in less than 3 days!

I want my hair done 😪

I never got my hair done you are Really good I would love for you to do my hair.never got my hair done.

You too?!

I thought so too until I saw a video of a girl on RU-vid combing out hers.

Yes you can comb them out

Yes ma'am you're correct

LMAO

I can’t 🤣

stephi marie didn’t know asking a question about a head wrap would be comical???

@@theressarhoe633 Oh...well okay. I thought you were being sarcastic and the reply from Mia Marie was sarcastic, bc the question and answer didn't make sense to me. However, since you were both apparently serious, apologies. Hair doesn't get wrapped with sashes so that further confused me BUT anyhow.... Wrapping is when you tautly secure the hair by wrapping it around the dome of the head. You can secure it section by section with a bobby pins (like how she demonstrated in 5:35) or by just keeping it in place with a head wrap/scarf or both. Some people do not like using bobby pins as they can create indentations in the hair but it really depends on how well you know how to wrap the hair and what type of hair pins you use to secure it. For ex., thicker hair may require larger pins. Some people like the grooves on pins and others like straight pins. An actual silk/polyester scarf isn't required if you use pins but it helps lay the hair flatter and keeps humidity out. It's best if you want to lie down or sleep. The term "wrapping the hair" isn't coined that way because of what you put on top of it but because you are literally maneuvering the hair by wrapping it around the head. ✌🏾

I thought it said that too

what u talking about?

Oh man

Looks like a water drop dripping down from the wet top section. The video is sped up during that frame.

It's water.. She needs a deep conditioner and will have to have more hair trimmed later. The shaft of her hair is split and still dry...

Really?! Why? My close friend had locks with a similar hair texture. It's possible but high maintenance.

how you doubt it lmao I saw pics and its real she took her time and she commented above its the pinned comment

Girl what? Hell, even white people loc their hair

@@Mini-rt8bm I said wtf I said...IDGAF who disagrees with it.

@@CassandraOlivia I mean, I've seen nappy ass hair & it wasn't dreadlocks, soo I still stand by what I said... She didn't have real locs.🤷🏽‍♀️
