Same. I just cant do more than that😭

[@bournegod_kiy]

I agree but with faux locs its different. I had mines in for 4 months and I only took them out because they were down to my butt and im not used to long and heavy. I washed once a month , when i took my hair down i thought "i could've kept that up another 4-6 weeks ." The longer they are in the more realistic they look. I had people asking me how long i been growing my hair and how hot it was 😂😂😂 Again, i washed mines once a month (i started every 2 weeks but it was so heavy and the water , it took all day to dry, so i pushed it one month) im going to do this again for sure.

[@nyashia7767]

@@bournegod_kiy think I'm gonna try this. Thanks for sharing your process

[@happyandfree30]

So I usually have braids in minimally 3 months always and it works for me. So believe when I say when taking down whatever style it is; never ever use a wet or water based conditioner to take down your hair. Use OIL, doesn't matter what kind. If you put water it will lock up where all the dirt and product has accumulated at the root. Simply add oil to root and length of braid and it'll slip right out. Gently separate the build up at the root with the oil and it comes right out.

[@JadeyyBee11]

I'm right at 6 or 7 weeks with my faux locs and I was worried that my natural hair had probably started locking up into the faux locs, so just thinking about taking them down was giving me anxiety. I'm so glad I watched this video. Thank you for posting!

[@blufiretv1]

I’m glad this helped you beautiful! Good luck with your take down 🌹

[@jasminedevich3182]

I think its ok and it makes getting your hair done worth it if you're able to keep them for a long time. For me I keep my locs in or braids in for 3 to 4 months all the while spraying water to keep my hair hydrated and occasionally spraying a leave in conditioner. I also wash my roots and the braids not often so that the braids don't get real messy but for me it works. Lately my hair has been dry because I've been a little dehydrated but other than that its worked for me. I think it can be all about how you take care of your hair while you have the protective style in. It costs lots of money to get your hair done (at least for me a total of 270 with 70 dollars going towards buying the hair) that's why for me I would rather make it last long.

[@blufiretv1]

Jasmine Devich listen.... *cough cough* I agree with you. With Proper care you can keep your styles in longer... but sis the majority still doesn’t even know how to properly comb or moisturize our hair lol what happens when you don’t take care of your hair properly is what we witnessed in the video above... So ultimately yes, if you know what you are doing go for it, if not, you can either take your chances, or... 🤷🏽‍♀️ lol

[@Sam-iy1nt]

The hair underneath look shiny and moisturized😍. I'm amazed we can still the parts after that long.

[@traceydumase]

I also keep mine for 3 months. I've been on a mini braid journey since January. I keep them 2-3 months. This time I'm aiming for 4. I deep condition every 2 weeks and moisturize every other day or when my hair feels dry. I never get damage when taking down my protective styles because I'm gentle and detangle using ACV. I think at the end of the day if you know what you're doing chances of success are higher. I definitely personally don't condone keeping styles for long without proper care.

You did an absolutely amazing job. Realistically a style should be in the hair for 2 weeks max. Our natural hair is fragile and those little hairs WILL break. We overestimate how strong our hair is at a cost. May God help us. I know it’s hard to keep on top of our hair.

[@blufiretv1]

Man I need this stylist, my faux locs did not come out like this

[@kawanalee2300]

I think your doing a beautiful job combining the hair out dry...because you want to get as much of the falling hair out before you take her to the bowl. If not you can cause the falling hair to tangle in with the healthy hair and cause it to matt up....

So I just got faux locs installed like 2 weeks ago. The stylist told me these can last up to 6 months with occasional touch ups. I put oil in my hair every 2-3 days. So are you saying I shouldn’t keep it in that long? In the past I have also worn sewins for up to 4-5 months and I didn’t have a breakage problem... I think 6 months was the longest I have kept a sewin . But I washed and conditioned every couple of weeks. Let me know what you think. Thanks sis.

[@mzjuicywaters2158]

Also do you think washing the hair after all the locs were out and getting the excess product out at the roots (where there was the most build up) may have helped the take down process?

I did use a detangler love… however, it was not best fit for this job.. The detangler awakened the residue in her hair and made it more difficult to actually detangle. the techniques I used got the job done ! 🙌🏼

I had locs and left them in to long about the same time & i have like balls of build up at the at the top of every braid that cannot be combed out dry I’m going to try oil & leave in to soften it up but I’m so scared ima have to cut my hair .

[@blufiretv1]

Samantha Long try slowly breaking it apart with your fingers first. sometimes wet or dry the comb will not get through the hair unless you want to rip your hair out and cause yourself a ton of pain.... Shampoo your hair and add Apple cider vinegar to it. That will help remove residue. Before you shampoo tho, try get those knots out as much as you can with your fingers and then comb/brush to fully detangle.
