I’ve been loc’d for 8 years & honestly..long hair is overrated 💇🏽‍♀️🦋

I used to be so excited to skip ahead to the part of the journey where my locs were long and thriving. Honestly tho..after getting this this point I’ve realized that shorter locs are truly the vibe for me. Having hang time was cool..but this degree of freedom is unmatched.

I love your new look and I love my locks. It grows faster than people think. That's why we say enjoy the lock journey and when it is short 😂

[@metsl1870]

Yes....

[@66AngelaT]

I’ve had locs for over 25 years. Up until yesterday they were past my butt. I cut them bra length and am working my way up to shoulder length. My family loved my long hair, but it was a chore that I needed to release. From wash day, to trying to position them when I sleep and getting them out of the way to use the bathroom, I was tired of the constant work. Funny thing is that all the folks that lived my hair actually have short hair. So glad to be free!

[@eddiegilmore9293]

That's great made the mistake of completely cutting locs all the way off. From experience gradually cutting is the right way to go. You're going the right way.

[@YoFonzz]

I feel you on not recording your experience of cutting your hair. Sometimes recording everything takes the joy away from being present.

[@ShadesOfSkyy]

Long hair is definitely overrated! I just cut my waist length hair down to a pixie. I feel so FINE AND FREE✨

[@Totallyhotchic]

I am 2 years loc’d from having a twa and the weight is already getting real on washday lol. My hair is just past my shoulders now and I can’t imagine the weight you were feeling at your length. I might keep mine shorter as they grow. Love that you’re doing what’s best for you unapologetically and love your hair!

[@jeaninecox8373]

I just cut my micro locs into a bob and I absolutely love it. The fullness it added is life. You look amazing ❤

[@bettyeames6812]

Wanted to tell you my half sister has had locks for 19 years. She cuts hers at the end of spring every year so her locs are not too heavy during the summer.

[@sls4170]

Sammy this cut looks super bomb on you 😍😍😍 it really frames your face and gives a refreshed not weighed down look if you know what I mean. A cut can just revamp a lot of things and bring out an even brighter glow. You were very beautiful before but I think this cut highlights your beauty even more and you can tell by your energy that you absolutely love it! You look great!

[@kaylaknot]

Interested in how and what u used to cut. I like that you don’t have blunt tips. Looks so natural.

[@FlammaIsland]

At least it's still locked😭 westindieray just combed out hers and now has braids, im devastated

[@Tina_O]

But westindieray is devastated too, from the loss of her mom 😢. I can understand her reasoning for removing her locs.

[@medousa9229]

Growth & Evolution! Love it!!😍 Thank you for sharing & continuing your loc journey!

[@MissLeoSun]

Yes you look so free! So pretty! My locs have gotten to bra strap length maybe longer and I’ve thought about it cutting them off but decided not to. I’m attached to the journey. I love the message of this video though! 💕💕💕

[@katrinacarlton6952]

Your hair is beautiful! Good to see you!

[@missreed9688]

Happy New Year! I guess everybody's cutting their locs this year lol. I just reached bra strap length & Im already getting nervous about the weight 😬

[@MyLove-iy7pi]

Saaame! Especially when washing lol

[@missreed9688]

@@MyLove-iy7pi Yeah lol, I'm still gonna let them at LEAST reach lower back length before I cut them (🤔 I think)lol

[@luvajenoel4248]

Started over my locs for the new years an I'm so glad I did new pathing system more locs added I know I gonna have fun this second time around ❤

[@BoujeeGrapes]

As a woman with NOW waist length locs, they were past my butt.....I UNDERSTAND!!!! It's alot. Nonetheless, you look amazing.

[@cryssykayy]

Love the new look!

[@michellerobinson7382]

Good to see you again, hair is beautiful!

[@kaylaknot]

Love it! I’m inspired❗️ and motivated ❗️🙏🏾

[@naturalcurls4life576]

Your cut looks great! I was considering cutting my locs because it is so hot here in Atlanta. However, I ended up combing them out due to severe scalp issues. Now, that my scalp is healthy I am starting a new loc journey and will definitely appreciate and enjoy that length this time around.

[@bennmaria8179]

Happy New Year 🎉 I'll be 7 years loc'd this April and I promise I have been pondering over the bob length for the about 6 months now. It's like you said it's too much hair and too much work and it's boring now. I love your haircut ❤👍🏾

[@foreverblissful101]

I love it! You are rocking this cut!

Happy New Year Everyone 🎉🎊🥂🍾🎈🥳The cut looks amazing on you did you happen to do a tutorial video on how you cut your locs because I’m itching to cut mine as soon as I hit my 10 year locanniversary in April .

[@kellyclark7517]

Thx! I really needed this video atm❤️💛☘️ Tomorrow may bee the day! Bless up 1❤️

[@ericaolw1933]

I’ve been following you for a while. I love this length on you.🥰💃🏾

[@ify03]

You're so beautiful. This was on time for me, as I'll most likely cut my hair the longer it gets

[@thetitostream]

Great look!!! The top and locs are both 👌🏾 peeped the shoes too lol

Love the new look❤

It’s REALLY cute!!🥰

[@arondaholloway9234]

I agree, I've been loced for 12 years. My hair was passed my butt. I cut it 2 years ago, to my shoulders. What a relief when it came to washing my hair before I cut. My neck used to be on fire, don't miss that feeling.

[@ronicasmith-lz3mk]

Locs looking good hun this my length were I’m at now 2 years and 2 months in ❤❤❤😊

[@ImaginationMw]

This is my length as well after two years and 5 months.

[@ayshashalomegrant5241]

Happy New Year you look amazing ❤

[@denisecobbin2157]

So pretty❤

[@user-jy8ij5mo1u]

Ik this ain't the same but I just got out of a break up 2- ish months ago and had a snake friend that cut me off. And so many more fake people that got removed from my life all these people were in my locs. I had loc extension and I wasn't comfortable with them anymore. For the reason I just mentioned. They are gone nowwwww🥳 So I am rocking my natural locs now.

[@aaronc3396]

Looks good, I’m 3 years locked. Have a south of France Mohawk

[@taramukoro]

Looks great. I love it.

[@nyecore]

I’ve been loc’d for 9 years and my hair is hip length and I shaved one side to get some relief and it worked now I’m growing my side back out and will reattach my locs. If it’s too much again then I might cut them to bra strap length. Your shirt locs are really cute

[@wendiedanille265]

I Love ittt !!!

[@sandyroberts3117]

Love the short look.

[@Ms_that_b_me]

I love it, u look great

[@Legacy_125]

Long hair is overrated. Once you have it long it’s just another job that requires extra shampoo and conditioners.

[@sobombeh]

I love this for you ❤

[@1991-present]

It fits you ❤

[@user-yo5cl5kw7b]

I love it❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤and I agree it is overrated. I’ve always admired woman that go low! It’s bold! It’s uncaring about what others think! It’s low maintenance! I’ve always been worried somewhat about not having long hair. When I did go short Immediately grew it back immediately but trust I think about cutting it short like a boy. I’m very feminine but I love the short! I’m a low maintenance woman so I love quick easy things and styles.

[@keepingitkim6056]

I only have mine for 3 years and a cpl months and i already want to cut them shorter. The neck pain is no joke and being a swimmer its very inconvenient trying to fit my locs in the cap. I think I’ll cut them your length, its perfect

[@adams8830]

I'm a loose haired natural but I agree. Long hair is overrated. I have waist length hair and I am to get it before the end of of the year. Maybe up to shoulder or armpit length.

[@shanicewebb5694]

Serious question , would you donate the cut off ones or keep them ?

[@reginaslife2460]

Saw the thumbnail and my heart dropped! I clicked on your video fast!

[@DiLavi]

Yess I love some short locs

[@pauletteokafor1322]

Just got into the two year mark and even though I have slower hair growth than most, I am beginning to miss the old length. Because hair touching my neck and going down my back it's quite to my liking.

[@MeMyself984]

Omg. I’m still debating. 7 years loc’d 😮‍💨 I have some breakage towards the ends and I just kinda sorts wanna do a cut maybe just below my shoulders and give it some TLC. I’m considering 🤔

[@bettyeames6812]

Love the cut! Great seeing you! I’m 21 months loc’d with 210 microlocs. My hair is not yet bob length but it’s on my neck and shoulders. I’m loving the thickness and the freedom of this length. I trim my bangs regularly because that is what one does to maintain a look I love. I am going to let the length continue for another year I think. You are right on point. Being able to enjoy your hair is more important than someone’s opinion of your hair. Congratulations on 8 years! 🥳🎉💫

[@Lunazero212]

I like it!!!

[@S_harloww]

omg , i haven't even watched the vidéo yet 😭😭😭i never thought you'd cut it lol

[@ms.diva0079]

I cut my locks after 20 years and I had grown them twice down to my behind. It is so overrated! Right now I experiment with a lot of different luxe using wigs and I have a nice Afro that I actually cut this morning lol. It really is just hair for me. It is not that deep it is not that serious! As I tell people all the time, “you can have a natural head and a processed mind“. Do what makes you happy and you look amazing!💜💜

After the second set grew out.. I lost my son to suicide. I cut it all off and decided no more locs and just have fun freely. Which btw.. I've never seen my actual hair grow out.

I loved this video so much ❤also for everyone here’s a little sunshine: the best relationship any human can have in growth and wellness is simply just getting to know their Creator. He sent His Son so we can just simply know Him. Talk to Him even in silence, and google Him even in doubt, He is there and He got your back even when we aren't looking. Put that First, and everything flows. I wish everyone peace, good positive things, growth, life, love, faith, and hope. God Bless you all and Happy New Year!💕
