I wouldn't cut anything. She should be able to salvage them by re-attaching them! Keep what you can, combine what's needed, and continue with the "journey!" It's a lesson we all learned! Your hair is gorgeous!

It’s not “just hair” though. We, especially as black women” express ourselves through our hair. Its an extension of us…whether it’s our natural hair, locs, wigs, whatever..It’s okay for you to be torn and want to keep what you’ve worked hard so for. You’ll just need a different method of maintenance, that’s all! 😊You’re hair is beautiful and if it can be salvaged I think you should try that option first like you said and see how it works out. I’m praying for your peace of mind in this transition period✨❤️

If you’re locked enough, getting a haircut may be an option. A stacked bob would let you keep most of your length in the middle and front and start fresh with your locs in the back. You’d have some natural layers and it would grow in even.

As tempting as it is to reattach the locs that were cut, I think you’ll be better in the long run leaving them shorter and letting them grow. You have so many locs and they’re so dense that the short ones won’t be noticeable at all. Can’t wait to see your hair once your retie is finished!

I am a trainee loctician as well. Your hair is in pretty rough shape, but the cut locs can be reattached to the new growth. You can go to a loctician that specializes in repair. It will be super expensive, but if you want to save them.... The loctician probably sees that you are struggling with the upkeep and made recommendations based on how you have been caring for your hair. Sisterlocks require 4-6 week maintenance faithfully. Yours are much smaller than Sisterlocks so you would need to be at that 4 week mark. If you can't maintain that schedule, you probably should combine them. I love your hair, but I would never install this many locks because of all of the things mentioned.
@mishaytv 2 жыл бұрын
I say hang in there. You already wanted to lower your loc count. This will help you do that. Don't be worried. You and your locs are resilient and beautiful. They will be fine and having some varying lengths is not really a "thing" with locs like it is with straight hair. It's not noticeable. Also, don't beat up on yourself. You're in college, a vlogger, working a job, etc. Trying to self maintain your locs was an aggressive goal and now you have help. You can do this. ❤️

Definitely combine them then your roots will be stronger. No need to start over there are people who cut locks off and save them and reattach so don’t see why you need to do that. There are some ladies who have locks as small as yours and they combined them and it amazingly came out looking even better! Also the upkeep will be much easier. Thank you for being so brave and inspiring. Your hair is beautiful and will continue to be beautiful no matter what you decide!

TyKara Ann, don’t cut your locs. You may have to cut some of the matted ones or just have some larger locs. I think you need to go to a different Loctician, maybe even in Houston. I have 23 inches & it only took 5 hours to do my entire head after 90 days of no reti’s. She may not be the one for the job. Don’t go back. Find a real pro and you & your mom can tighten your hair til you research a good Loctician. May cost but it will be just to correct your hair for now. Praying for you lil sis. Much love.

This is what gets me when so many influencers try to push this idea of “stretching your retwist” and doing semi-freeform journeys. Not everyone can do it, its a dangerous game. You risk thinning since the loc is putting stress on loose roots(that may not all be uniformly supporting the weight of the loc due to stray hairs growing away from it). Your locs are beautiful, I would just take this as a lesson learned from here, especially with microlocs that need all the support they can get. If you do decide to cut it to even out the length, go for it, but know you’re not the only one with some uneven locs. The baby locs may even be cute in certain styles ♥️

Overgrown locs and it took 5 hours to interlock HALF my head. I was dissatisfied because many of my locs had holes because she was rushing. I am now trying to palm retwist with aloe and oil and I’m hopeful it will work because interlocking has been thinning my locs. It takes less time and I feel better about doing my hair.

Your heart and your momma (they really do know what's best) will help you find the right way. I have 218 locs and I am always overwhelmed at retie time. I simply cannot imagine maintaining over 500 or 600. I am thinking good thoughts and sending love and positive energy your way. I support you no matter which decision you make.

Hello Sunshine! Keep your head up and continue to be encouraged. IMHO...don't cut your beautiful locs. Starting over isn't the 'end of the world' but as you learn from this in your loc journey, "take the lemons and make lemonade" (one of my mottos). I actually thought about interlocking but chose to start my DIY microlocs with a few methods of palm rolling, locksmithing and wrapping the new growth and overall locs. I've always had strong roots/hair and my method works best for me...6 months strong and my microlocs are down my back! #HappiHealthyHair #LocLove #BeWell

I wouldn't feel bad at all. Loc maintenance is expensive if someone else reties them for you and time-consuming if you're doing them yourself. It's easy to procrastinate and have an overwhelming amount of work that you never seem to be ahead of until it's all out of hand. If I had the same amount of locs as you, I'd be struggling just as much. I specifically asked for/and got about 250 locs for this reason alone. I knew I'd be doing my reties myself and I'm lazy at times! About 200-250 is a good number for those who like the small microloc look yet want to be able to maintain it easily. Interlocking has been key for me as well since there's no unraveling. I wouldn't recommending palm rolling/retwisting for microlocs at all. I wish you the best of luck on your journey and thank you for having the courage to document your experiences with us!

Hey beauty! I would honestly say either trim/cut down a bit or cut out the weaker locs and reattach maybe? I could even see you cutting maybe 3-4in and attaching that to the shorter ones if possible. But as someone else suggested, a stacked Bob or Lob would suit you as well to keep the volume and it’ll only really cut the back. I know it seems like a drastic change going from 16 to 8in but as you said, where the issue sections are will be covered AND your hair grows quickly especially when you are able to moisturize and such on a routine. I’m unsure of the potential severity but I know almost anything can be salvaged when it comes to our hair. You got this! Take your time to decide and weigh all your options. Either way, it’ll be ok! 💛💛

So sorry this happened to your hair. It’s super necessary to separate your locs every time you wash them or if your scalp sweats, and if you go a while between re-ties, a good way to keep them from joining at the roots is re-twisting them. You don’t have to use a gel. You can just spray water or rose water on the roots, twist, pin with hair clips, and blowdry on cool.

I wouldn't cut them out. Maybe combine some in the back so it's more manageable, and then have her retighten the back and maintain the front yourself. Your locs are beautiful! It's a journey!! Just wait it out. You can always cut and save them then retie the cut portion as well

@mjones8887 2 жыл бұрын
I say wait until the retightening is completed and then decide. You very well may not notice the difference in length. To me you have more longer locs than shorter locs. At some point they will catch up when the other locs reach their maximum length. You can always trim your whole head if you need to.

I think you should try and save your locs and if that doesn't work out then explore other options such as restarting so you can have the healthy locs you want. 💜

I have really thick hair as well and I had a lot of breakage in the back before installation due to neglect. I have some that are a lot shorter than my front. No one can tell. The top is long and full enough to cover. Keep your locs hun and when you're at a length you're comfortable with, cut them even.

Start fresh Use the cut locs as extensions to wrap your hair in different styles Or cut start fresh and reattach them ... It would look much neater and give you easier styling options

I would recommend you reattach the ones you cut or go to someone who can attach faux locs that will be the new size of the locs you will combine. 4 inches is a lot of new growth, whew.

I’m crying with you! I fell so invested with your journey because I have been following your journey since day one. Ok, I’m gonna step back, stop crying and speak from a loc technician standpoint now. Do NOT cut your locs and start over. Allow your Mom to help and work her magic on them as much as possible (because she loves you and these locs are her babies too because she created them lol) cutting and combining some locs is not going to change your look because you already have 644 babies (way more than most) do NOT, I repeat do NOT cut and start over.

Save as much a you can. It will be tedious THIS ONE TIME but after that it'll be smooth sailing. It seems like you want to save what you have. Please do. Maybe combine down as much as makes sense to reduce the work of Retightening?
@DanaLynnette 2 жыл бұрын
Hey Tykara! You and your hair are beautiful! I think you should not start over. It may be a good idea to simply cut the ones that can’t be saved, and incorporate the base of those Locs into nearby locs. Then maybe have your loctitian combine your locs at your next scheduled Retie, so you can reduce the amount by about half which would be much easier to maintain and maybe you would not dread maintenance. I hope this helps. I enjoy watching your journey. Thanks for sharing! 😄 Keep your head up!

Don’t be sad hun. Mine are worse and I’m currently repairing them. I have 3 years worth of new growth in the back that I’m gradually working through but I’m not cutting any of them out, I’m just combining a few really weak ones together lol. I really don’t think it’s necessary to cut them out especially if most of the locs that were the most damaged are in the back which you’ll never really see unless you look for them. Just get them back on track and maybe combine a few really thin ones so you won’t have as many to retighten if that’s a concern for you. I’m not sure if maintaining your grid is important to you, if not then just get them together and maintain them from here. Your locs will be just fine ☺️

How long did you wait until the retie? I think you should keep it girl! You came so far. Maybe you can think of combining. But cut it off, mmm no but if you do I'll send you my postcode send these locs to me I'll install it to my self 😅 joke aside I just started my journey 6 days ago and I think that your locs look absolutely amazing!! Stay calm, I know it frustrating but you can only learn from this lesson. Anyway peace 💕💕💕 Looking forward to see the next update

I wouldnt cut them out. I have had to start over a few locs. Sometimes I consider getting extensions just for the short ones but the long i leave it alone, the less it bothers me. Eventually and with time and trims, the difference in length wont even be noticeable

Definitely keep the locs and only cut was absolutely necessary. Also, you may go every 6 weeks initially but then consider retie every 8-10 weeks. I think the more often you retie the thinner your hair becomes

Don’t cut them! Your hair is beautiful, even damaged. I think you should combine them. You have over 600. I have 372 micro locs and my hair is thick and voluminous like yours. I’m sure you could achieve the same look that you have now with fewer, bigger locs. That way the root is strong enough to hold the ends of your hair. Good luck beautiful! Don’t be sad. Anything worth having, you gotta work for. ❤️

Count the cost as well. If she charges for repairs based on the hours she puts in and if the time is almost the same as the cost of starting a new set then I say start a fresh set. If you do keep th current ones definitely trim the others (maybe layered cut🤷). While you have invested time. Sometimes fresh starts are good too.
