I lost my only child in January of this year, two weeks after starting my loc journey. I imagine someday, I will reach the point where you are and be ready to let go of all of the grief. The last couple of months, my son has sent me so many signs, and I feel like the more open you are to receiving them, the more often they come. Grief is such a hard process to go through, but how blessed are we to have had the chance to love someone so much? I can't wait to see where the next step of your journey takes you. Thank you for being vulnerable with us. *insert unicorn emoji here*
I'm so sorry for your loss. You are inspiring me to fight this depression and try harder to move forward. Thank you. God bless you with many smiles and a heart of joy. Sending love from NC.
jojodanae : losing à son is definitely harder than losing a parent as we are not suppose to bury our children . So hard to recover from. I’m glad that you are not alone Only God can help you all th way. May the Lord bless you
First of all my condolences to you and your family. It is so hard loosing your mother in this earthly realm. I think you realize that you never lost her and she is always around. Man a mother's love never fails. I lost my mother as well and I shaped up her hair when she was diagnosed with cancer. It was my honor to take care of her. Damn girl, it's still sad. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Can't wait to see your next videos. Take care of yourself and mental health.
Literally crying reading this comment. Holding you in my heart my love. Thank you so much for sharing, relating and being here ❤️ my condolences to you as well. May your Mother’s spirit experience eternal ease and everlasting peace!
Coming from a mother of young adults, facing a health problem(that I rebuke and refuse to accept). As a mother, I love you all. Please be brave and strong. Our lives were enriched having you show us ourselves in another form. We are so grateful for you. Our purpose, our existence would feel in vain if we had to leave this experience AFTER you. We are so proud of you. We are so fortunate to have you all portal into this earth thru us. Now grow and glow, and take us with you in your heart and genetic DNA. As’e As’e As’e
I lost my mom January 2020. I added her locks in with mine in February 2020. I trimmed her locks out of my hair in 2023. At that time I admitted to myself that she was gone (physically), and accepted that she wasn’t coming back. I was super sad before I started cutting, but surprisingly I felt super calm while/after cutting them. I’ve been wearing a lock bob for a few months now.
I recently combed my locs out and I do believe I'll have another loc journey but I've fallen in love with my natural hair all over again. I just be touching it like wow 🤣 and I feel the same way with losing loved ones, I lost my granny a month before my first child was born and I had to realize she's in my heart and her teachings guide me through my everyday life.
It saddens me cuz you were definitely my biggest inspiration and one of the reasons I started my locs but I totally understand where you're coming from and love your vulnerability. Your mom is definitely so proud of your journey thus far. ❤️
@@earthandwater I've considered it for a while and made some research before but I'm just saying when I got to her page everything she showed encouraged me to go for it not cuz I wanted to have her exact journey. Also I didn't see it as a journey at first but more like a hairstyle until I actually got into it and really understood the depth of it but anyways take it as u please I could really careless 🤷🏽♀️
My condolences to you on the loss of your mom. I too lost my monin 2019. I've thought about taking my locs out once my son is released from prison , that's in 1-2 years from now. My daughter took her locs out a few months ago after 15 yrs. It was diffiently a journey. It took 3 of us 3days to comb them out. Thanks for the step by step journey you shared with us and the Wella Conditioner tip.😊
You were the first person I found online that made me take the leap to get my locs done. I did a 'Lupita' during summer this year because I felt like it was time to release that energy, similarly to you. Watching your journey thus far has felt connective and wonderfully filled with commonality. Thank you for sharing this with the collective x
I just cut off my almost two year locs back in October. Just to start them over. I have enjoyed watching your loc journey. But I also love your spiritual connection with your mother and the journey of life. I will always support your channel. I wish you post more!!
Shedding tears with you sis 🥹 I know for a fact it was divine order that I found your channel 6 months ago right before I started my locs. I binged and ended up watching your vid on Grief the day before we found out my mom has stage 4 cancer. Your spirit and guidance through your vids has helped me find peace with whatever happens with my mom and in my life in general. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for sharing your journey, queen 🫶🏽 P.S. My locs will be 6 months old at the end of this month 🥹
This was beautiful and emotional! Thank you for sharing your loc/spiritual journey with us from 4 years ago to now . I was so shocked when I saw the post on IG first so I had to watch the full video on why! I'm so proud of you almost had me ballin' but I definitely was teary-eyed. I am going to miss your locs but I'm happy to be here to see you continue flourishing in life and beginning other journeys. 🦄
4 years of shed hair was in those locs.... That's a whole lot of residual energy you removed. Then with that beautiful rain... I'm sure you feel lighter in every way. This is a very nice video, thank you for sharing. 🥰
Thank you so much. My condolence to you and I totally get the loc journey and loss. It's been 2 years since I lost my husband and I'm ready to let go of that shield and comfort plus my locs have gotten so long and heavy that they are starting to hurt my scalp. I raked through 3 locs before seeing your video and lost my length. Almost just chopped them off but glad you stopped me in a nick of time. I appreciate you and your video. My prayers for your continued healing and I believe our loved ones are always with us. God bless you :) 🙏
Congratulations on your locless hair journey. I took combed mine out last December after 10 years. So I understand. Excited to see whats next for you. 🦄
Indeed. ❤ Likewise! I grew mine for 3yrs… I cut them half way and then combed out the rest lol so it’s kinda like I did the “big chop”… Not to mention. The Loc journey taught me so much self love, confidence, contentment, appreciation for my natural hair, and most importantly, PATIENCE. 🙌🏽🙏🏽🦋🌈🌻
First im very sorry for your loss and I jus lost my grandmother on the day of my performance ( feb 8) and my one wish was to she her one more time before she died so im sad abt that but about your locs ive also had locs for 4 years and in the summer im going to comb them out or cut them idk but ive been looking at videos and learned that its less heir loss when comb out your locs dry so im probably going to do that but this is the first video im watching of you and it made me cry because it reminded me of my grandma♥
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. It definitely inspired my loc journey! I also love your transparency on connecting with your mom still even beyond her transition.
I started following you a few months before you started your loc journey and i was like 'im happy for you but i could never" now that im almost 10 months into my loc journey and be saying "i could never comb out my locs"... here u areeee. The alignment is beautiful!
Wow that's so crazy to see you go through this process. I literally just started my loc journey on Nov 13, 2023 while watching your videos as I did my two strand twist. Prior to actually starting my locs I educated myself by watching all your videos. I appreciate you for always keeping us updated along your journey, I think it's so beautiful watching your transitions in life.
I completely understand I got my locs in memory of my mom and this week I have made the decision to comb them and I have fully open to grief and know she is with me
This is amazing. Congrats on this journey. We started our locs at the same time and we actually combed it out the same time as well. I had mine for a little over 4 years and combed it out beginning of Nov. I also did a lot of grieving during that time after losing my bf so it was time for me to release. I left a comment on your IG saying I think we have some of the same juice lol. All the best to you and I love the sentiments with your number 9 and 6 for your mom. Your 117 locs also adds to 9. Amazing! Now it's time to learn about yourself again outside of locs and I wish you all the best!
i love the way you talk about your mother. it reminds me of how i talk about my grandma who passed in january. sending love for you on your new journey 🤍
I combed out my locs in 2019. It took me a whole week to do it. Well worth though! I felt so much freedom and opportunity to learn more about my natural hair. Your momma is always with you. I bet she is just as excited about this new journey ❤
I am so sorry for your loss and appreciate you sharing the symbolism and spirituality. I pray you find peace and give yourself the grace and space to heal. Grief is something that comes and goes in waves. I've been there and fully support you ❤❤❤.
This was by far, the most beautiful video I’ve seen in a long time. I love how you are so intentional about life. When your mom entered and cleansed you of your past journey with your locs, I definitely shed a tear with you. God bless you sistar. I’m here for the slaying you will do in your new journey with your hair. Stay beautiful. 🤍
I've been on my loc journey for 2 months and 2 days now. I've been binge watching your videos for about 2 weeks now, and you've helped me tremendously more than the lady who actually started my two strand twists. You're such a beautiful, strong, and genuine spiritual being✨🤍. Not gonna lie, I teared up more than I thought I would watching this video😮💨. I wish you the best of luck on your new journey, lovely, as I'm extremely excited to continue watching/following you through it all🥰! Thank you for being you😘.
Wow, it's crazy you were one of the influencers who inspired me to loc my hair up! now to see you and I both at the point in our lives where we want to comb them out...talk about full circle girl! I may not comment much, but go ahead! I will always support you no matter how you style your hair!
Wow I am in shock, but so happy that you have completed your journey and off to another one. You were one of many that I started following to start my journey. Your also the one that saw your Loc Tonic video and made me some to moisturize my hair and absolutely love and have been using my whole 9 months of my loc journey. Thank your for sharing your journey.
I can't see it...... My Locs are BUTT LENGTH and almost 7 years in...... I'm committed.... Lol .I take care of my Mom and assist with my Adult son with Autism. Locs FREE UP my time. I also work, have a side hustle and serve in my Church. My Locs SERVE me in amazing ways. I Don't know HOW you decided but good luck with your next chapter💪🏾✊🏾💪🏾✊🏾
Mine are not quite to my bottom yet, but I felt like being a loose natural was too much time and energy. Whenever I feel like my locs are picking up negativity, I put on a headcovering and keep it moving.
I absolutely love the introduction and I love how you said you love your locs and you feel like it’s your best look. And you’re just combing them out just because you feel compelled to. Girl I feel that. I’m watching your video because I feel compelled to comb out my locs as well. My locs are beautiful and I feel like the look is just “so me.” But I feel like I’m going through a transition in life as well and I just want to take them out.
How your mom connects with you is beyond beautiful!!! Feeling a loved ones presence like that is truly magical and brings so much comfort. I'm so glad you have that and you still have her! ❤
Westindie all of us unicorns are so proud of you. You’re always so honest and intentional in everything you do. You were one of the people who inspired me to start my locs you wore yours confidently and with so much grace I appreciate you so much for that. We can’t wait to see the next adventure. 💚
Omg this video made me boo-boo. That gratitude for being able to receive the signs and messages from the universe and from our ancestors is so powerful. It’s wonderful yet slightly unsettling to experience, but in the case of your mother, I’m sure being able to connect in that way feels indescribable to others. Enjoy your next hair journey my love. You are blessed 💜
I combed mine out after a year. And it took almost 3 months. But I took my sweeeeeet time! Also you inspired me to start my locs to begin with! I didn't loose alot of hair. My hair actually grew alot and I'm glad I combed them out! I love my hair.
This entire video was so beautiful and necessary. Wow, thank you so much for sharing this with us. This touched me in so many ways sister. I love you so sooo much!!
I started my locs w my son, and we moved on from them at the same time. I combed mine out and he cut his off. I still miss them, but at the same time I love being able to cleanse my scalp the way I want to. It’s still hard for me to see pics of me w them, because they absolutely beautiful and so were my sons. Blessings to you It took me 2 weeks to comb mine out and I lost a lot of hair but the growth was insane
🦄 Initially when I saw the title, I was soooooo disappointed! But after watching this video and crying with you, I have a deeper understanding and appreciation for your beautiful journey. I was introduced to your channel by MorganAlexis years ago. She, too, is locd and lives in FL. I couldn't stop watching your videos and learned so much about locs and products from you. But even though I started watching your videos for loc info, I got to know you and your spirituality. It resonated with me to the point that I will continue as a subscriber because you are so beautiful inside and out. Your advice outside of locs is so essential, especially when you provide marriage tips and spiritual advice. I, too, combed out locs years ago and it took MONTHS!!! Around that time, my son was a 1 yr old and me and my husband had just separated. I needed a fresh start. I was so busy as a new single mom and I just couldn't keep up with the maintenance of my locs at the time. Now my new loc journey has been so much easier now that my son is older and I have more time to keep my locs maintained. I will forever refer back to your previous content. Thank you for being an inspiration to me and so many others. I look forward to continuing to follow your natural hair journey!!! 💜💜💜
I'm thinking about getting locs in my natural hair to start my journey you look so amazing I lost my mom at 15 years old I know how you feel not a day goes by I think about her she was a wonderful woman and my best friend ❤❤❤❤❤
I want to send my love to you and your family. I began watching you as I was starting my locs, and will be initiating in Nigeria in 2024 to the Isese tradition which means I will be shaving my head. But just like a spiritual journey I’m actually excited to let mine go. Thank you for bringing us on this journey with you. 🤍🤍
This is so wild to me in the best way. I started my locs a few months after you because I watched your journey. Then when you talked about your mom, I empathized because I know that hard to be so hard on you. I ended up losing my mom in Dec 2021 so I now understand the emotions you displayed and the way you talk about feeling her with you. I feel that now on my own and when you cried about her and talked about the rain, I immediately cried too because I feel the exact same way. You are such a beautiful person with a beautiful soul! And your mom will ALWAYS be with you. Your loc journey was amazing, but you still have so many journeys ❤. Thank you for being vulnerable enough to share this with us.
I combed my first set out after ten years ❤.... I started over and it was the best choice I made so they can be stronger this time around! My first set was a little thin. Beautiful hair lovely!
You were def my inspiration before I started my locs. I locd on the 10 yr anniversary of my mom’s passing and I’ve never felt so free and connected to her. I’m so excited for your next journey. Your mom would be proud of you listening to your heart and the ancestors above! ❤🦄
This video just made me cry. Bcuz I have been following you since day 1... I wish you would of kept them. But I understand and I am Proud of you! ❤I LOVE YOU SIS!! ❤ 🙏🏽
TBH This has to be one of the most wholesome loc comb out video i have seen. I did combout my almost three year locs in July this year. While combing out your locs kinda came as a shock I understand that there are different phases to life and locs may not be a part of them all the time. Sending you love West Indie Ray🦄
You are so mature and insightful (im 48 and find inspiration from you often). Looking forward to your next chapter. I lost my brother 19 months ago and watching hos oldest son deal with the grief is so painful. Thank you for sharing your story. 🦄🦄🦄
Wow this was extremely heartwarming to watch!! So happy that you made the best decision for you regardless & I will be watching your content and supporting you on your new journey 🤍🦄🦄
I’ve never had locs but i genuinely resonate with your messages in this video. The spiritual growth over the last few years has been beautiful to witness. Congrats on this new journey!
Soul beautiful!! I love hearing about your journey and the deep connection of the nature and magic within you and that you get to receive that healing and signs from your mom- you’ve impacted so many people life’s and journeies✨🌌🪽 May you receive love, blessing and light✨❤️🔥🌐
I teared up. I just started my locs and yes you were the inspiration. My condolences on your loss of your Mom, but she is now an angel in heaven who is able to watch over you. My mother passed two years ago and it is still hard, but she is no longer in pain. Prayers for you and your family!!!
You know what’s crazy?! I cut mine off at the 4 yr mark also, but before I did… I combed one out. 🤣😭🤣 It took me like 6 hrs. I also didn’t do it saturated so I was reallyyyy taking my time. My hair is already grown back 3yrs later tho. Shouts out to YOUUUU!!! 🗣💓
Omg! When you showed that bag of shed hair at the end my mouth literally dropped open! This is the first video of yours I’ve ever seen so I’m interested to watch your “wash day” video!! Regardless, youre beautiful inside and out and yes, momma is always there cheering you on!!!🥰🥰
🦄❤️ I love you girl. You are one of three people who inspired me to get my locs three years ago and I honestly didn’t realize it until this video but you were also somebody that I have followed on your grief journey and you have helped me on my own.. I have had a lot of losses since 2020 and dealing with all of those back to back was not easy but learning different things from you and just going on both journeys along with you has helped me in ways that are really kind of hard for me to explain, but I just want to say thank you for sharing such special moments and journeys with us ❤
Your video was recommended to me. I don’t even watch loc videos on RU-vid but it’s Gods sent. I started my locs 8weeks ago, excited to see how it goes! Will check your loc videos!
❤ Love love love your dedication to the comb out, especially after realizing how long it was really going to take after completing the first one. 😂 Also love the way you communicate to us your spiritual feelings and connections. Happy the final number of days was a number that resonated with you, as I’m big on numbers myself. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of this journey with you. With love always…❤🦄
Thank you sooo much for sharing your journey. It was beautiful beginning to end. I’ve had locs for over 3 years now that my mom also helped me start. You’re truly inspirational. Thank you so much for inspiring me to start my loc journey. ❤❤❤
Omg when I saw who I posted this my jaw drop because I was a loc girly, and you were one of the first people to put me onto locs. And I had combed them out too and I had them for 3years and I cut them about seven months ago, and it has been the most renewing and crazy experience. But having loc is a journey that no one should take for granted whether you cut them off or leave them. Because it teaches you so much, thank you for sharing this. Oh my gosh I’m so so happy for you. 🎉❤
You were my inspiration for starting my locs and I'm so grateful for you and your transparency and wisdom. I was in tears watching this, your spirit is so beautiful and I know your mommy is sooo proud! Thank you for sharing this beautiful, emotional and spiritual journey with us! 🦄
So crazy I actually started combing my locs out yesterday, had no clue you were too! You were my biggest inspiration to start them and I’ve had them for 1year and a half, absolutely love them and the journey but I really missed my curls. Cheers to our new lloose natural journey!!🫶🏾
So far I’ve only gotten 10 down so yes it definitely takes a long time lol but it seems like people with smaller locs like hers tend to comb through them quicker, mine are a bit thicker side so it takes me 1-2hrs hours per loc.
🦄 I can genuinely feel your energy as I’m watching this. When I saw this pop up I told myself “I felt this for her!” When you posted about your mother’s transitional anniversary recently on instagram, I could feel that those posts were a premonition to change for you. It briefly crossed my mind “would she? Nahh she wouldn’t. Not anytime soon at least” but wow look at this timing. I’m so beyond inspired by you and your journey, and I will say that you played a huge part in me finally deciding to loc my hair, something I’d been contemplating for years prior. I was searching for my why. Why did I want this. I thought about my dad and grandfather passing when I was 5. I thought about my grandfather and my great grandmother. My great grandfather… but then I looked at ME. I decided that I wanted to connect peace and gratitude related to my time here in this realm to my locs. I decided that the growth and transformation of my locs would be a direct reflection of the woman I am working tirelessly to become. I too will pay honor and respect to the loved ones and ancestors before me. I see them and feel them in my developing locs. I am happy that you took the chance to inspire so many of us to embrace our hair and who we are. And I am happy that you found a beautiful and intentional way to pay homage to your mother before combing them out and accepting the next chapter of your journey. 🤍 cheers to new beginnings! Fun fact: I have 118 locs and I know you are very familiar with numerology. The number of locs on my head resonate with timing and God’s will over my life.
Thank you for sharing this vulnerable phase of your life. I understand how loosing a parent can be. I had to ended mine as well almost at 5 years but different reasons, but at same time similar (father). But who knows a journey is a journey, our hair is our crown no matter what we do to it ❤.
I'm just shocked she did it... I been contemplating getting locks since I found your channel and was to go get the consultation done today. My husband isn't really into locks but at the moment tbh I don't think I'mma get it anymore.
🦄 I love them too! My Mom had transitioned in 2022 so I can relate to what you were discussing! Yes, you had inspired me on starting my locks. That occurred late 2022, so it’s been a year. I am now being more flexible with the many ways I can style my hair but in the back of my mind, I am pondering on combing them out. But it won’t be soon but at least I was able to see your video to know how to accomplish this task. 😊. Thank you. Peace and blessings!
I figured you would eventually. I cut mine a little over a year ago and went back to rewatch your older videos. I’m sure you’re ready to love on your loose hair again and I’m excited to see your future videos. Continue adding to your beautiful journey. Love and light! ✨
You inspired me to start my lics this year with 2 strand twists, and I've loved watching this journey. My condolences, and cheers to your next journey in life
🦄 wow, that was so special to watch. Blessings to you on this next stage of your journey. & my deepest condolences for your mother. Glad that you know she is still with you.
Your vulnerability and the way you share your grief means so much. It’s truly beautiful and gives me a lot of strength and comfort in my own. ❤ Your locs were always my favorite but I can’t wait to see these loose hair styles girl!!🤗
like so many others, I was also very much inspired by you throughout your loc journey and I learned so much from you along the way!! thank you so much for sharing this experience with us 🩷💕✨
Oh wow, I am super happy for you and your journey. I started my locs inspired by yours in Spring 2020 and I cut mine off October 2022 due to be having postpartum hair thinning and being depressed and so sad, when I cut it, I felt a relief, although I actually loved the look. lol. Your hair is beautiful also,
This was very emotional so I send so much love to you for sharing your vulnerabilities with us 💕 I combed my 3 year locs out in April because they just were not what I wanted anymore and since they were instant locd they never had the look I wanted like the curls on the end. Funny enough when I restarted in October I was so inspired by your length and how you styled it, so now I'm in the chapter that you have just closed. Good luck on your new chapter and enjoy every moment of it! ❤🦄
I'm so happy for you! I love that you can still feel your mom around you and can appreciate the beauty of nature. I'm in the process of combing out my 4-year-old locs as well, so you are the inspiration I needed. Sending peace, love and light. 🦄
I started watching your channel when I began my loc journey. (roughly 3 years ago) I made my intention oils and loc oils and all. I also watched because of how in tune you are with intentions and your spirituality. I also love how u spoke so highly of your mother and the bond you shared. The past 2 years I have unfortunately loss my mom as well. So the bond part definitely resonated with me (I'm my mom's only child) but now I understand you so much more. I have sinced combed mine out as well. My locs in my opinion at that time held so much sadness so it was time for the next phase. A loc journey is just that "a journey" and if u saw fit to end your loc journey then I'm definitely here with you for the ride!
🦄 Beautiful , it's been a pleasure following your loc journey online. You've been very inspirational to me while I've been on my own . Blessings to you and yours!
Lol the comb looks like it's been through some things now 😂 I'm glad you successfully finished and that you got your confirmation from mom 🙏🏽 What a blessing it was to witness ❤️ Thank you
Much love to you, honey! You make my spirit smile with your positive aura. It is something that is transparent to see even through the screen. Keep pushing forward; I’m sure your mother is proud. Blessings, always 💙
