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*

[@barbarapeller]

So sorry for your loss!

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.

[@PeacocknRose]

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.

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

For anyone planning to comb out their locs, use a lice comb, not a rattail comb. It'll make the process so quick and easy

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.😊

[@AprilOctober83]

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.

[@dancergirl1298]

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 🥹

[@alovesubliminal2227]

I wanna say I’m shocked but I just cut off my 2 year old locs and started over I’m glad you did what feels right 🤎

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 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.

I was definitely inspired by your locs journey, I’ve had mine for 3 years now❤️.

[@alibijan888]

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.

[@colinsgirl1357]

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 ❤

[@keysuniverse]

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. 🦄

[@charamiller2515]

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! ❤🦄

[@WillinggToFail]

[@missqlovett]

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 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 ❤

[@k.enn17]

as i researching locs, you popped up and when i had my first set of locs you were one of my inspirations. but i also combed out my first set, i understand i released the energy of my old set and i’ve started a new loc journey on sept 19, 2023. our hair is apart of us and we can live through it in any way we choose. i’m here for any journey. i had my first set combed out for only a month and realized locs were my lifestyle, but any style we put in our hair as black women/people we will flourish regardless.

[@mdinjurylawyer]

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. 🦄🦄🦄

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😘.

[@bellesepiphany]

I love the journey that you are on and I’m grateful that you are courageous enough to share! I started my loc journey around the time that you did and found your channel looking for ways to care for my hair in its beginning stages. My choice to get locs was one I thought I’d never do, but it was spiritually time and I followed my inner guidance to do it. It was a transformative experience and I knew that it was time to comb mine out as well and did so a few years ago. I called it my unloc’ing. The stepping into a new level, new journey and beginnings. Blessings and honor to you love and may you continue to be guided to your greatness. You are a light 💡 🙏🏼💜

[@ranadacooper6765]

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!!!

I remember watching your video about you starting your loc journey and how your mom played a huge role in that years ago. It was very touching and inspirational. So even though this is the end of an era I’m proud of you for doing what you felt was right. I’m excited for this new journey 💗 🦄

[@mewmew6158]

This is such a beautiful video. Seeing your loved ones in nature is somehting I love to hear from those who are grieving a physical loss. I'm sending you the comforting energy you deserve!💛

[@DearJayla]

🦄 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.

[@kazanidunn4347]

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! ❤🦄

[@charismafranklin5175]

Wow, just wow!!!! I have been following your channel since before your locs and I used to call you my hair twin! You definitely helped me be more comfortable with starting my locs! I just want to give you a big hug right now because I know the purpose behind the start of your journey, I watched all of your big moments and cried with you girl! Your sister is still holding on strong to her beautiful locs! I love your channel and I thank you for being vulnerable and please never stop doing what you do!!! 🫂🙏🏾

[@NettaTessa]

This was so powerful to watch. I cried with you at the end as well 💚big hug💚 I started watching you not long after I did my locs myself and made me feel better about not going to a professional and what was right for me. Mine have helped me through a grieving/changing stage as well and I’m at the finish line. I can tell because I love my locs, and may start some again, but thinking of shaving my hair feels like a freedom is coming and I can’t wait. Welcome to your next chapter love

[@navidad8510]

What hairstyle did you do while you were taking them out?

[@AmaniWilkins]

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. 🎉❤

[@roneishalatham1307]

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!

[@simplykirah4096]

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!

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.

[@divinewestlyann]

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!

My prayers for your continued healing and I believe our loved ones are always with us. God bless you :) 🙏

Thank you for sharing and I truly understand . I, too, cut and combed out my locs after a little over 5 years. It was a huge deep release that I needed to take.

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.

[@flylikeme28]

this video was sooooooo beautiful! thank you so much for being so open and vulnerable with your entire journey. i felt every single word you said about the connection you have with your mom and when it was pouring rain and you were feeling her presence my heart was beating so strong! your bond and love with one another is so powerful. you actually inspired me to loc my hair in 2020 when i first came across your content because you made it sound so easy! i only had them 9 months lol because it wasn’t as easy as i thought to upkeep and i felt like i jumped into it spontaneously and without deep intention. i ended up combing mine out too and it took me 3 weeks! 🥵 (i only had about 50-60 locs) and girl i completely forgot about that thumb pain! loved your little glove trick. i think one day I’ll start a loc journey again when i feel called to but i just wanted to send some love and gratitude to you. you’re such a beautiful light and it’s a joy to witness you on your path ❤️‍🔥

[@sadeburch9954]

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! 🦄

I wanna do this so bad but I don’t have the patience I may just get a short cut… thanks for sharing your journey with us

[@dani-q7640]

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.

Always do what’s best for you continue to think about it

[@grandpamari2928]

im starting my loc journey soon and came across your video today 🩷 this is such a beautiful video and a wonderful experience im glad i came across, condolences to you and your family but im sure your mom lives through you in everything and was flowing through your fingertips with each loc you took down. Seeing you finish on the 9th day with the rain being the voice of your mother to cheer you on was amazing, congratulations on completing your loc journey!🩷

[@Kynnthaemerald]

Wow something is in the air ✨ I’m seeing a lot of ladies comb out or cut their locs I cut my 3 year old locs out too last year & it has honestly been so freeing ever since! It always feels good to do what you feel 🥰🦄🙏🏼 & The spiritual/ancestral messages & signs are always the most beautiful thing to experience to “put me back into my body” so to speak as well as affirm you… Blessings! 🥹❤️❤️

[@user-ot3rq6xn9n]

I'm about to do the same thing I'm taking my locs out to

[@myanicholle5229]

Just woke up & this the first thing I did 😭

[@OurRadiantHome]

I resonated with this video so much and I don't even have locs! This year we had 2 family members make the transition to ancestors and it has been rough and I've grieved a lot. So seeing you spiritually release your locs but find peace in knowing your mom is always with you was so beautiful to witness. Thank you so much for sharing 🙏🏾❤✨

[@sharebacovington6543]

Thank you for sharing this moment. As much as I loved your locs I also love your content and spirituality above all regarding why you started them and will always follow your journey. I’ve cut my locs sooo many times ( I’ve had them most of my life ) so I do understand the spiritual shedding needed. Looking forward to sharing your new hair journey and everything that comes with.

I am 3 months into microlocs and i was inspired by you. Im glad you mom walks beside you daily 🦄🦄

[@azzamohamed4026]

[@nora_ray]

As someone with locs (bout 20 mos. in) this actually INSPIRED me by your comb out to continue my journey and accept what phase it’s accompanying me with through life. Thank u❤ for sharing this and letting us be apart of your journey from beginning to END! 🦄🦄🦄🦄

[@andeesol5140]

Thank you for charging your journey with us and being so transparent. Sending you love always ❤️

[@koolkid17979]

I really appreciate you for sharing your spiritual significance with cutting your locs. You honestly inspired me to comb mine out because I’ve been having a heavy urge to cut my locs for some odd reason. I’ve been tapping into my spirituality and I know there’s a bigger reason on my I feel the need to cut my hair. And I think you were my confirmation that I need to make a big leap here. I thank you so much for making this video and sharing your experience.

[@arayaturner5339]

[@MzDannie2Fresh]

I love you so much. I been following for 3 years. You inspired me to dedicate to my local journey. I’m happy for you ❤

[@lindaware4165]

🦄You have been one of my loc inspos. One, because of your beautiful locs, but probably more because of your spirit, intentionality and light that you exude in all things that are this Life Journey. I saw the short video of your loc takedown and was shocked. A day or so later I watched this full video and, phew! 😭 I. Felt. That. As always, there was intentionality in your decision to come out your locs and so much meaning in your process. I started my locs in February of 2022. I began following you soon after. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself. I’m sure this only marks the beginning of yet another journey for Mrs. WestIndieRay, and I’m here for it!❤🦄

[@Brelyna2010]

I just took mines out after 3 1/2 years and you were one of the ppl I watched that helped embrace the journey. It’s bittersweet but it’s amazing!

[@amandaparfait9468]

Peace & Blessings to you my dear sister. Thank you for taking us along with you. Can't wait to see where your journey goes next!
