Combing out my 3 year old locs (it took almost 2 months)

[@lyricrayne2650]

Soooo, we're not gonna sit here and ignore the fact that your skin looks AMAZING!!! You is straight GLOWIN'! I just took out my first 8 locs last night and the hair in the trash had me in my feelings, lol. Thanks so much for sharing your process💛

[@justcallmenephy]

Aww you’re so sweet, thank you! Good luck with taking your locs out!

[@biabia9181]

I’ve done literally everything with my loose natural hair so I don’t think I’d miss it. The most id do is cut them off and wear a short cut. My hair is so much work and me taking care of it was also damaging it, if that makes sense. I have starter locs in. We’ll just see how it goes. I’ll never be a slave to my hair 🤷🏾‍♀️ if I crave something different, I’ll just cut them off and wear my hair short. I DEFINITELY don’t miss box braids or anything like that.

I also have a sudden urge to comb out mine as well. Natural hairstyles are popping up on my feed and I also had a dream where I'd changed my style. And here I am.............watching this video😂😂😂

[@brobob52]

Did u do it

[@Emily-rj1ij]

@@brobob52 yeah I did. It's been almost 4 months now and I haven't been more at peace when it comes to what to do with my hair. It's a lot easier and less painful process now

[@brobob52]

@@Emily-rj1ij thats beautiful. Gonna do mine soon.

[@thatssonia9835]

In the process of combining mine out. I have 64 locs but with a baby I’m only able to do 1-3 a day. This video gives me strength though thank you beautiful

[@Maryamdiorr]

Ughhhh I’m legit going through the same feelings. I’m glad I’m not the only one cause I’m starting to comb them out and I don’t wanna regret it

[@justcallmenephy]

Take your time in deciding. If anything, you can always loc them again :)

[@rootsofwasabi]

I want to try locs but I already know that I’m going to want to comb them out. I don’t want locs to be my identity. Like “oh Tyler with the locs? Yeah I know her” I don’t like that lol

[@Fiftyflavoursofbree]

I’m cracking up! This is my current dilemma 😂

[@racquelmiller362]

I know the feeling,I comb mine out recently

[@TexasGal.]

I’m impressed. You made the process doable and achieve able. Great job! If you can comb out your Locs, which is definitely an exercise in patience, you can do anything! 😊

[@justcallmenephy]

Thank you!

[@cynthiaholland13]

I can't wait to see how long before you re lock. i keep seeing people miss the lock ease

Beautifulll and your skin is flawless ❤❤❤❤

[@dajaebrown8358]

This is how I been feeling lately, I feel like I’m going to have a mental break down I’m ready to comb my locs out too after almost 3 years loc’d. I need a change

[@EzinuAdogla-Bessa-dh3ij]

In the process of taking my almost 3 yr microlocs down. This is day 2. Motivated by your video 🙂

[@racquelmiller362]

I was going through a ruff spot as well ,feeling unattractive with my locs,and on the 19 of of Oct 2024,which is last month.I loose out my locs of 6 years and did box braids,I just wanted a change,I got tired of not being able to do anything with my hair

[@justcallmenephy]

@@racquelmiller362 I feel you! Hope you’re enjoying your loose natural hair now

[@torvlogs7390]

I felt all of these things at only 6 months in lol it doesn't help that I don't have loc stylist in my area whose work I love.. love them but I also can't express myself through my hair other than wigs.. and I get tired of taking my hair off lol. Anddd everything else is just damaging to even try (ex. braids twists extensions) out they go! I'll rock a natural faux when I'm feeling frisky.. Great video!

[@justcallmenephy]

Lol not 6 months!! I hear you though!

[@torvlogs7390]

@@justcallmenephy And winter is coming, it's torture lol.. oh and mine are small I'm always afraid of them thinning and breaking off! I can't lol

[@justcallmenephy]

@@torvlogs7390 I experienced a LOT of breakage because mine were small too. The tension of combing them out was too much for my edges and kitchen. When I was loc'd,I ended up combining a few for that reason

Omg 187 I have 119 locs and I have started combing mines out after 4 1/2 yrs and Omg I’m crying 😭 due to the process and also because of my journey kuddos to you cause if I counted 187 we would be doing the big chop 😂😂😂😂

[@justcallmenephy]

LOL! I hear you. You got this, keep it going!

[@primrosedeluna]

Your hair looks good either way 😍 I think if you reloc, you should interlock maybe every other month because you’re sweating your retwists out

[@justcallmenephy]

Thank you :)

[@fatal613]

I started taking my locs out in august. I finished in taking them down in October. Geez I was over it when I was down to like 15 locs. My hair seemed very thin after I took them out.

[@brobob52]

How did u replenish them. What was ur go to style afterwards

[@fatal613]

@@brobob52 I just washed, clarified, conditioned and went to protective styles. I did crochet first. Now I’m using Tabitha Brown products to fill in the thinner areas.

How long was your hair when you loc'd?

[@ronicaparr5028]

Girl your twerking my story!! ❤🥰

[@ashleycarter3850]

has anyone with smaller locs tried this? I tried to do just one and it was impossible, not a matter of time but literally impoossble.

[@denisewilliams9987]

I have small sisterlocs and I’m combing it out right now. it just takes patience. I also wet my locs a lot while combing it out. I used a thumb tack to tease out the ends then use a small rat tail comb to comb through starting from the ends. I had 414 locs. I’m done with the back and in the middle of my hair. good luck.
