I’ve combed out locs many times, using many different methods. The best method I’ve found is saturate the dry loc with Vaseline, and gently comb with a fine tooth metal comb. The loc practically slides out, and you get less breakage, also your hands aren’t numb like they are when you use water and conditioner. I combed my daughters locs out with this method and she ended up with healthy tailbone length hair! Give this method a try and see if it works for you!

Locs are for life. These young individuals don’t know how to commit, they are very uneducated about locs and the journey, they also begin thinking their hair will look like the pictures they saved . If you don’t start the journey with your own look and over thinking it and being a product junkies then you will not love or enjoy locs. It takes patience and understanding, and commitment.

@@redlocculturetalk370 a lot of assumptions being made over hair. 😂 Some people comb their locs out simply because they want a different look. I change my hair because I don’t want to look back at my photos over the span of 10+ years and look exactly the same. 😂 never testing my limits to see what other styles I can pull off. NOTHING is permanent especially hair. You can change it at any time or go back to it. One girl said she simply didn’t like being mistaken as a boy…the second one was a REALLY young child maybe 4 years old. His parent probably gave him locs from birth and he wants to see his real hair for the first time ever since locs weren’t his choice. People really OVERTHINK hair this is obsession!! You don’t have a “lack of commitment” problem simply n for changing ur hair and it doesn’t mean your just too young and immature. Stop overthinking it’s JUST HAIR.

I certainly understand the difference. I started locs for this very reason. As an umpire I was outside a lot and very active so there was no use in going to a salon or relaxing my hair every day. I’m on my second set going on three years now and I don’t have to spend so much time with my semi free form. I do self maintenance but I just don’t twist my locs. I prefer to crotchet them. I combined them into eight wicks and am growing back my shaved sides. I can style them up or down. It’s great!

Hair is NOT a “living organism”. That’s why you can cut or trim it with absolutely NO pain. Also you are correct when you say locs, Not dread locs. There’s nothing dreadful about our hair. So I am respectfully asking you all to stop saying dred, or dread locs. I am aware I can’t make you do anything, but it’s nice if you understand what I am saying. Thanks 🙏🏾

@carolynharveyfoxtrot Жыл бұрын

@ how can you tell me “ain’t nothing wrong” with it? That’s your opinion. There is NOTHING dreadful about OUR hair. You need to call things as they are. Perhaps yours is. And are you even Black? If not then you TRULY don’t need to be saying ANYTHING. A real Black person is not going to insist that their hair is “dreadful” once they understand that they should not be calling it dreadful. So please don’t tell me there’s nothing wrong. We have enough negativity spoken over us. Don’t need anymore.

I’ve done it many times as well. The best, IMO is to use a dentist pick type tool to “untwist” the hair. Usually, it opens up the lox and you’ll even find the bud intact ( well In my experience). Then , I comb each strand gently. I feel the constant combing is harsh for my stands.

I’ve had my locs now for 6 and a half years and I’ve grown to love them a lot. It started off as a self conscious thing because I was embarrassed by the sudden appearance of the scalp acne but now I can’t really imagine myself without them. Over the years I’ve combined some and I’ve done the side taper and then I’ve done the under cut and still going strong. I don’t see myself getting rid of them for a while.
