I'm sorry if the video comes across fuzzy on your laptops! I'm not sure what happened. It looks fine from the phone though.

[@smmartin88]

I’m here like look at her, lol I had sisterlocks, shaved my sides, and then cut them all off too. I let my husband cut mine off, and I felt the exact same way afterwards! I have 4c, and the eco styler olive oil gel and a sponge brush will get you right! Excited to be sharing yet another journey with you!

[@D91Forever]

Can we get an update! How is your hair growing? What are your plans after big chop! I’m a Sisterlock girl working to combine my locks now. Maybe one day I’ll just chop and start over with medium sized traditional locs. Thank you for sharing your whole journey!!

[@LifeWithKosi]

From sisterlocks, to combined locs, to this chop/short cut! I've watched you journey through it all & let me tell you...you rock them all so well! Your cut looks great on you 😍😍

[@kishaward1992]

Cutting ur hair is so liberating good luck on your new journey!

[@mrs.joejoe6424]

I saw the preview and my mouth dropped opened lol. I have been with you from the beginning and I ain’t leaving you now 😍 the cut looks great on you! The way my 4b hair is set up I’m gonna have to keep rocking with these locs..I can’t go back to a whole day of styling aka fighting with my head lol.

[@landlhoneycombhomestead3174]

OMG!!! GIRL... I WAS JUST THINKING WHERE ARE YOU AND THD LOCS..🤣🤣🤣 You went there and chopped it. I love it. I have followed you forever and we both had sisterlocks and transformed into traditional. I can't cut yet.🤣🤣 I love it!! Keep us posted on your NEW JOURNEY. Great seeing you again..🥰🥰🥰

[@heyybritny]

Oh, wow! Totally shocked by the preview, but I really enjoy watching your content.

[@Forlocsake]

I can't wait to see more videos. You are amazing!

[@JoyMorrisBeauty]

The cut looks great on you! I've followed your journey for a long time and I look forward to seeing what comes next!

[@mbd.tv1844]

Good to see you back with your beautiful smile. Hope health issues are gone. I cut all my SLs out this year after 6 yrs. After I got some growth back, I started finger coil loc journey. I’ll see what happens. Your short cut looks great on you.

[@LakeiaCreates-2010]

The excitement after cutting that last loc gave me life😂😂😂 I’m so happy for you and your cut looks great!!🥰

[@ItsSonya94]

Your happiness afterward is all that matters! Congrats on your new journey! I'm gong to keep watching 😊🥰

[@NaturalFitNurseRN]

Oh my goodness, I love it so much! You look absolutely beautiful, TFS🥰

[@shonna2023]

What a hair journey, love your confidence. You went from sisterlocs, to bigger locs, to the big chopped, all styles look amazing on you.

[@Tennisbikerlishis]

Your Sisterlocks were very beautiful. I don’t know that combining them were the best idea. That’s most likely why you were having problems. You are a beautiful lady, so whatever you do with your hair will be Awesome!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@tashacurtis6567]

Surprised.... 4.5 years...but happy for you.. your cut looks good. Will be watching your new journey as well.

[@eak22]

Good to see you back! The cut looks 🔥!

[@lovethoselocs]

OMG! My jaw dropped open when I saw this. I can totally relate as I took mine down some years back and was excited to go loose natural - but after a year or so I missed my SL so much that I had a new installation on very short hair just over three years ago. I would say that cutting is much better than combing them out (I combed mine out and my hair was so thin and damaged afterwards). Good luck on your new loose natural journey - looks cute! Oh, and keep your cut locs just in case. 🙂

[@bf1822]

I am glad you went with your heart. I love it and you can always do another set. Enjoy the freedom. Peace and Love..

[@Resilientlyblessed]

OMG 😱 sis, you really cut it!!!!! I’ve been getting the courage to get them since you got them, even did a consultation with the exact person who put yours in, following your journey and now you cut them lol 😂 Im still going to get them but I enjoyed the journey with you! May the Most High God continue to carry you into your next my love 🥰GB

[@TheSpeechQueen]

You crossed my mind today and I decided to check on you. And oh the surprise 😆 Love the big chop. I’ve considered this too but will wait a few more years.

[@najeebasheer3158]

I can't tell you how many times I said "WHAT!?!?" when I saw this title.

[@mojob356]

Love it! Thanks for sharing! 😘🥰

[@bw2579]

Wow! Love your new cut!! See you on the next journey 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@jazzyj22w58]

Wow, we started around the same time. I have been thinking about cutting mine too. Still debating. I had a short afro before my locks for many many years. Cute after picture. I like it!

[@Angel-zn1xh]

What a beautiful queen either way, blessings on your new adventure.

[@dragoncult666]

You look so happy. 🙂

[@MsStarbright84]

Hello hope all is well, Can we get a hair update please!!!

[@MschelleBurton]

Do you think that it would have made a difference in the locking if you had gotten your Sister Locs professionally combined?

[@lavenialivinglife]

100%. I also think what I did looked fine but it probably would have looked 10x better if I had someone do it for me.

[@chantjones33]

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

[@carrietoo]

Love your exuberance! I tried to combine my SLs and when that didnt work I got frustrated and just combed them all out. Got 2nd set of traditional locs this past May. Short hair is so freeing. Looks good.

[@silliwtd]

Wow what a surprise! We started around the same time. It's just hair, which you know. Glad you're doing what works for you.

[@MS-pe7ow]

Love it! Followed you during your loc journey, just looked for you again today. I big chopped my locs last year after combining fail, now have twa and loving the freedom. Now subbing to your channel again. Keep posting, I'm looking forward to your gentle and sunny personality on your future posts!

[@ThePrettynikki610]

Wow!!! I was thinking of cutting mines also, due to lint, maintenance, and thinning.

[@lavenialivinglife]

When you’re ready, go for it!

[@Carterkid313]

So I watched when you combined your Sisterlocks. I then combined mine then unbraided them a week later. In June, I randomly decided to cut my Sisterlocks, after 2.5 years, and when I say, it feels SOOOOOOOOO good! I love your cut!

[@monicascott9687]

😮😫😭…but I understand. You gotta do what you gotta do😌😘 TWAs are one of the lowest maintenance styles. It looks great. Thanks for sharing and updating 😘🥳

[@nekob4671]

I love it, it looks amazing. Blessings Beautiful ❤️

[@gloriajh8]

Hi Lavinia, I want to thank you For all of your videos I learned A lot about locks through your videos. For me you made the braid and eat and ban sink in my head I got it when I saw your video.At the end of this month I will be getting sister locks Through all the research,video watching and trying to learn as much as I could about sister locks, you were one of my deciding factors In seeing your locks you are my Lock crush You are beautiful, your hair is beautiful any way that you decide to where it. I want to say thank you so much, for all the inspiration that you have inspired me And many more like me to do. On to a new chapter in life I can't wait to can't wait to see more of you May God-bless you and strengthen you to continue to inspire people.

[@stjssking]

Yay 😍😍😍😍. I cut my Sisterlocks also during the July 4th weekend. It was fun while it lasted. I went through the SAME THINGS with my Sisterlocks minus adding the afro hair. It became too cumbersome. I use Miss Jessie's Pillow Soft Curls. Try it out as your fade grows out. That's what I did.

[@melissashorter2831]

Aww your reaction is amazing

[@neo317]

😮 I remember being asked by my sister to cut her locks. Wow, can’t wait to see what’s next

[@tracyepps8781]

I like it, I have been debating about cutting my sister locks for a while and probably will pretty soon. Your hair looks nice.

[@LenasLovelyLocs1]

You look beautiful! Thanks so much for this video ❤❤❤

[@jaebeablessings1005]

My daughter suggests the Doux mousse def texture foam. Says it works well... I went by Sally's today and couldn't find it. Amazon has it but it cost more 🥰❣️😊 Again, loving the cut!

[@tinabateman6739]

I love the new look! I’ve wondered if that will be my choice if my hair thins much more. I think of the expense of getting the locs and the maintenance and then I think of the emotional and physical expense that comes with the thinning of hair and trying to “fix” or “figure out” problems that come with the hair journey….. I guess we will never stop paying for our hair no matter how much we do on our own… this is just another part of life’s journey…

[@tinabateman6739]

Maybe I’ll cut it low and go..

[@genesisw7890]

Love the new look

[@Blim.blam.on.blizzleBaby]

Love it!!

[@shopsterry9764]

So pretty.😮🙂

[@kimgo4518]

I learned from another youtuber when locs that are already mature are combined, they will not loc together. When mature locs are braided or twisted together with the expectation they will eventually fuse, it does not happen. They can still be untwisted or unbraided yesrs later but will be stuck together at the root from interlocking or retwisting. When I learned that I popped over to you channel and sure enough you have taken them diwn and this was 1 of your reasons. Congratulations on the cut it looks great. Enjoy your hair and discover your natural curl with maximum hydration method. Maybe do locs again later beginning with the size you want.

[@thebranyginneh]

I love 💕 it!!!! You look gorgeous

[@ydevay1674]

If I can't find a new consultant soon, I will be joining you and I'm kind of ok with now.

[@nicolepolite3877]

😳😢😭, but I get it, happy for you, looks great 🥰

[@jayemc.2728]

❤️ your cut!! in January, I’ll be 2 years sisterlock and I am thinking about taking mine down 🙈

[@shannon6031]

I cut my 18-inch sisterlocks cuz they were so compromised by lack of reti's during the pandemic (I did not know how to reti until late in the pandemic as I went to my loctician everytime before). I went to another loctician for consultation to save my sisterlocks, but she was going to charge $750 over the course of 2-days. 😳 So, I took some scissors and cut them myself. I was super shocked how easily the locks untangled, tho. I, too, am rocking all the fun loose natural styles I didn't before and enjoy being able to switch up my looks so drastically from day-to-day, even. I say do NOT throw your locks away. You can croquet them back in if you want to install them again later. Your haircut is very becoming! Wash days are gonna be a BREEZE now! What is your channel going to focus on, now?

[@lavenialivinglife]

Hair, product reviews. I’ll be the first to say I fell off as far as posting goes but I intend to ramp up again! Thankfully I didn’t have locs in my channel title 😅

[@TravelingGigi]

Looks good. You have the perfect face for short hair

[@foodlover40]

Beautiful

[@latimoreshenii3334]

Just save them and have a professional loctician sterilize & wash them to reattach them if ever you decide you want them back again. Good luck gorgeous! Love the cut. ♥️

[@susanthomas7848]

Would you ever lock your hair again? The cut suits you 😃

[@Msbmaxey8]

Cut mine a couple of months ago. Here’s to new journeys.

[@lisenoli8351]

Love it, you look amazing. But I'm sad tough because you're my loc crush and you've kept them on for 4 YEARS, but I totally get it tough. I'm super scissor happy, spent 2 years in between fade cut and completely bold just because (no wigs or anything), don't know how I got to the 1 year mark seriously 😂😂😂😂. I'm going to try and keep my locs for at least as long as you

[@lavenialivinglife]

I completely understand now why cutting is so addicting!

[@christopherwilllis1193]

Thats cute

[@lashun1053]

I enjoyed your loc journey. That is the reason that I subscribed but unfortunately I will not follow anymore. What will your channel consist of now?

[@lavenialivinglife]

I understand - thank you for your support up to now. Thankfully I didn’t have locs in my channel title. Natural hair, product reviews, etc🤗

[@msshalle]

You could save them in case you would want to re-attacth someday; donate to have a wig made for a person with cancer or someone who has hair loss; even seen locs sold and used for starter locs.

[@lavenialivinglife]

I didn’t think about donating them. I’m sure someone could repurpose them some how, good idea!

[@Chidimmaaa]

I think you shouldn't have combined them good lock tho

[@taracannonllc]

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
