Thank you for this! My daughter came to me and said she didn’t want her locs anymore and it saddened me, but I came across your video and her locs take about 20-25 minutes each and her hair is 6 inches longer than the locs! Her hair is literally almost touching her butt. She has a looser curl pattern but the shrinkage is real! And was loc’d almost 2 years. Not much hair loss and very healthy hair. I appreciate you, your method worked well for us. 🖤 I’ll remember this when I’m ready to take my own down!
I really don’t know how I’m suppose to say this but I’ve had locks in for about a year now and I show my mother your videos but she still refuses to take my dreads if they’re is anyone you could maybe let me know to go to I would appreciate I’m 15 years old and I want to prove to my family that I don’t have to cut off my hair
Aww Brendan, I am so sorry to hear that your mother isn't onboard with you combing out your locs. Did she start them for you? I remember starting my 15 year olds locs when he was 4...at the age of 9 he wanted to cut them. It was difficult for me, but I did it. Maybe she is finding it difficult to let go. But, as a mother myself with a 15 year old, I wouldn't advise that you try overriding her rules. Have you considered asking her if you can comb them out yourself? Maybe if she sees that you are able to do it, she possibly would feel inclined to help you 😊 And you can reassure her that you can always restart your loc journey
I'm a mixed race girl,who developed bad matting/free form locs after my husband's suicide. Was really depressed and let my self care go big time. Ur video is a god sent so THANKYOU. You saved me hours of time,and money going to a salon.
I’ve had my dreads since 1st grade and I’m graduating high school in two days so me taking them out counts as my graduation present. The only thing is I would have to do it myself and I have around 138 dreads and the longest is 13 inches. Wish me luck! Update: I took it out my hair is longer than they were in dreads, I saved a lot of dreads and my mom didn’t talk to me for a good 3 weeks before she cane to terms with it.
My sister in law has been wanting to "lock" my hair for a year now, but I was on the "fence" about getting it done because I thought you could not UNlock once you lock your hair. Now, I feel "somewhat" at ease. N.ow that I know that I can......... or somebody can take them down for me. Maybe I will give this a try THIS SUMMER for the VERY FIRST TIME 🤔
Hey guys! This will be my third time doing this and the best advice I can think of, is don't lose your patience. You might even want to consider taking them out in a flattering pattern so that you can still wear it in public halfway through the process. If you lose patience then you lose all your hard work of combing them out in the first place and you'll end up wishing that you had just cut them. The first time I did it, I lost my patience and my shoulder length dreads ended up being half an inch long😭😭 it was a nightmare. So take your time and don't lose patience.
@@moonlightmya8710 you'll definitely lose a lot, but it depends on how thick your hair is and how long they have been in, and I recommend using the end of a crochet hook to take them out, it's really good at untangling them.
My boyfriends locs were not taken care of correctly and they're very large, uneven and flat. And he was ready to start over but didn't want to burden anyone with taking his hair out, and was just going to cut. His hair means alot to him and I would've hated to see that I happen, I came across this video and it has helped a ton! It takes about an hour for loc for him because of how flat and large they are so it's a multiple day process. But I'm so thankful because now he can start over with all his new growth and treat them right. You're a savior with this video!
I have had my locs for almost 10 years, started in 2013 my junior year in high school.. After watching this video, I am determined to start my daughters locing process, and my detangling process for when it's time. Thank you so much!
I found it much faster to unravel the locs with the comb side. All hair is different though. Ran out of conditioner too so we used a very thick oil similar to vitamin e oil and it worked great. Just some alternative ideas.
Definitely going to give this a try! I have fine, 4C hair, and I've had it loc'd for a little over a year. Originally loc'd my hair to try something new and keep my hair up and away when I was working at a pool at the time. But the lack of hairstyles I can do with this hair has led me to get bored with it (I also, personally, get bored with styles quick), so I think it's time for a change!
I've contemplated getting dreads for a long time. Didn't go through with it because I didn't want to cut my hair if I got tired if them. This video has given me confidence to try a style I've avoided for so long. Thank you
I'm glad this is possible...my daughter has been swimming all summer living like a gypsy and never wanted to comb her hair or condition in shower...so she has natural dreadlocks...and I didn't want to cut her hair off and make her look like a boy...
I’ve had loccs 3 TIMES!! And, I’ve combed them out myself once, (my last time). My 1st and last time were my favorite times of having them. The first time I kept them 4 years, (wish I had combed them out then) but nooo I cut them and started completely over. I think I may invest in making this a service. 😊🤷🏽♀️💜
after learning people that had locs for 3 years was able to calm their hair out it help me decide to start my loc journey last week. Which my sis said if I ever want them to be calm out she will help if that time comes
I never doubted this. I’m a deep south Georgia girl. Got matted when we were kids. We had to untangle with safety pens or a needle. Time consuming but it’s worth keeping hair. It is important to understand that hair sheds naturally. so some of she hair loss is hair shedding. Thank you blessings
Thanks for this video. I’ve had locs for 11 years and I’m ready to comb them out. I know it’ll take longer because I can actually sit on my hair but I’m going to start. Hopefully, it’ll only take me a month to complete it
Hello. I know this is an old video , but I'm so pleased that it came up when I searched how to comb out dreads or wicks. I'm in my mid 60s and I'm still as tender-headed as a toddler. I cut my long hair off about 4 and a half years ago to go natural. It wore it very short for a couple of years then decided to grow it out. I have arthritis in my hands and it flared up very bad I the past few weeks. I would just brush it into an afro puff only combing it through when I washed it. I found that I had a few dreads. I really needed a painless way to comb them out. THANK YOU so very much for your tutorial. I bought a pin tail comb and now they're all all gone...painlessly. Your knowledge is truly inspiring. ❤
I’m so glad I saw this I had mine for almost 7 years and it’s been a rough journey keeping up with them and the outcome. I can’t wait to try this soon 😘
U made it seems so easy 😩 it all comes down to patience I see. My daughter started her journey 7 months now and she’s ready for it to be out. Tomorrow imma start taking them out for sure.
You're a life saver. I want to take out my instant locs and was so sad that I'll have to cut them off. Thanks and I'll sure will be taking my time and a lot of patience too
I’m so excited! My hairdresser said this is impossible because the dead hair will fall off and you can’t keep the length! What are your thoughts to what she says? I want to start some and do this after a year🤗
Well, I'm pretty sure this video debunks that idea lol Mine and my son's hair have been thriving. I would honestly say that after combing out your locs you will have to ensure that you deep condition your hair to help keep your hair moisturized and healthy to prevent breakage (which should be done regardless if you have loose natural hair).
@@kieshaarielle thank you!! That’s exactly what I thought about the moisturizing! She wouldn’t even finish the video:( Thanks so much again! This video is a blessing!🙏🏾💃🏾💃🏾
@@norudesallowed2339 The hair that is falling out is dead hair that naturally leaves your scalp with or without dreads. It just doesn't have anywhere to go cause it's trapped in the loc. That doesn't mean the rest of your hair isn't growing and staying healthy.
this technique works amazing I started combing out my sisters locks yesterday and she retained so much length I didn't know locks shrink up that much it's just time consuming. Thank you for making this video!
My hair naturally curly so I was able to take some apart by hand. The ones in the back will probably need detangler and leave in. I like locs, I'm just over them. I love crochet better
I THINK I'm about to start this process with my 10 year old locs, the longest ones are about 18 inches but I've been having bad breakage from leaning on them and sleeping on them then just pulling my head up to get them free, I'll wear my loose hair for a couple weeks and retwist them for fatter locs. Thanks for the informative video!
How I'm I here ? Well, 10 months into locing and I wanna comb my loca out ! Thought of chopping them off but thanks to this video, I'll be combining them out !🥰
Im 13 and got locs when i was 11, i honestly thought my hair was ruined and id have to cut it all off (my hair is almost knee length) this is my first day trying and i have around 50 locs. I was allowed to take them out for my birthday thats in a week, It takes me a bit longer because i dont have a proper comb but so far i should be done in time! Thank you for this video
i need to do this for my boyfriend cause he doesn’t wanna shave his head so i’m trying to surprise him, i work at a hair salon but we don’t do a lot of natural hair and my boyfriend has natural hair so i’m so lost, this helped me tremendously thank you so much for this
Im Indian and I have fine indian hair. But lemme tell you. Im 12 and Idk how my hair does it but it becomes so tangled that its basicly dread locks THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! For this video because of you and this vid my hair is perfectly detangled. THANKYOUUUU SOOO MUCHHHHHHHHHH!!! Stay well and stay safe ❤❤❤❤😀😀😀😀😀😁😁😁😄😄😃😃😃
Thank you. Truck driver here, in a hotel at the Indiana-Michigan border because of a truck repair. Will fill my day by using your video to unlock my years-old locks. Thanks!
Decided to use artificial hair and braided it into my real hair and it looks cool. Am surprised it does kinda help the hair grow. Hoping to eventually not need artificial hair and also have it long enough to reach my knees.
Thanks so much! i have mixed hair and started my journey 5 months ago but now that i know more about how my hair responses, i realize my parts are too big. This video is encouraging me to know I can safely uncomb what I have so i can restart! yay!!
I have a bunch of lint towards the back of my locs and I’ve tried everything but it’s still there. I realized it was really embedded in my loc. I’m planning to comb out the locs with serious lint and then re-loc them afterwards. Unfortunately when I started my locs I wasn’t so much aware of products I should use and not use. A lady with locs helped me start my locs and she uses a certain beeswax product. Which was the worst mistake ever. I used it for several months before realizing it was a bad idea. I don’t want to cut the back of my locs, so I hope the method of combing out will help ❤
Thank u for this video! My 14 yr old son has been locked for 4yrs and now wants his dreads out. He came to me like I knew what to do lol so I came to youtube and found your video very helpful and straight to the point! I will be trying this on his hair this weekend and will update!
I’m combing out my locs today. I have had them for 14 months and they look terrible. I got them professionally done every 4-6 weeks and they would look good for 4 days but I could not retain moisture. They are still very loose in the front and the sizing is all over the place. They are always frizzy and just look bad. I tried to be patient like everyone says but I just don’t think I have the curl pattern for it. I have S waves. It probably won’t take long to comb them out because it looks like they want to come out anyway. Oh well. I’m still glad I tried it
Wow!! I am tried - locks are over 10 years OLD. Thanks. I have decided to cut off locks and stop at my new growth. Question ❓ What type of treatment should be provided to your hair after the locked hair is removed. Thanks 😊
If you cut the locs and stopped at the new growth? Then I would suggest maintaining your usual hair care routine, which should include the basics of: shampooing, conditioning, deep conditioning, nourishing the scalp and moisturizing the hair strands with the Hair We Grow hair products of course (www.hairwegrow.store) 🌱😊
This is very helpful. I have had loc extension installed for the past six months using the wrapping method but they're far too heavy. I have been considering instant locs as a replacement thanks to comments referring me to the method on one of my videos. This lets me know I can start down that journey and I have some wiggle room to change my mind. Great video.
Thank you...yeah if you decide to do the instant loc method I also have a video on how to install it. It works on any hair type: *Instant Loc Tutorial* th-cam.com/video/Psc5fXVPyX8/w-d-xo.html
My question is if I installed some locs in my hair when I want to take them out how do i do that do I do the same thing even though it's not my real hair
I'm sure I watched this same video the last time I combed out my locs. 😂 Works very well:) Combing out another set today to restart again in October 2022 lol
Ty for this I have alot of locs but I hope I'll be able to take them out quick, I want to do it without my mother's help, I want to show her I can do things on my own and she won't need to be upset👍🏿✨
Thank you for this!!! I'm here because my 26yr old son has decided he wants to take his dreads out ( I'm not happy about it btw lol) and comes to me with half his hair undreaded and needs me to finish the rest This looks so darn fun 😢😩😒😮💨
Thanks for teaching me how to take out dreads bc I am making a bipoc character who is black and has dreads and I want a scene where he asks his love interest to help him with taking out his dreads so he can redue them for a special occasion bc they grew out and he hasn’t done them in a bit. He can do it himself but reaching in the back is harder to do and he rather not just blindly do them in the back of his head. I know it’s pretty cliché for me to have two lovers help each other with something but I like to think it’s a nice way for both of them to feel more comfortable around one another.i am white so sadly I didn’t know how it all works but I wanted to know so I can put it in my story the way you are supposed to do it instead of the wrong way. So thanks you helped a lot. You are doing great! Thank you for your content
I’m definitely thinking about it, it’s the edges for me. The lady who did mine did my edges thinner than the rest. Be loose for awhile then try again now since I have a true preference
I knew there was a away for removing dreadlocks but didn’t know exactly how. My 5yr old son had his for almost 2years and don’t want them anymore because they have grown so much and is now shoulder length, it hurt my heart when he said he just wanted to cut his hair to get them out but I’m so relieved this was an option that works
I've had my locs for 9 years on new years day. But lately I have been going through some natural and spiritual things back to back and have really been considering just starting over. I know that you and your hair is one(or hair is out strength) so when your going through your trials and extreme tribulations your hair is too!!! I literally JUST watched this video and I'm SERIOUSLY considering this method. Somebody, ANYBODY, please tell me to do this!!!
Lol, DO IT!!!! But, after 9 years I am sure your locs are very long, so it will take some time. The interesting thing about this your hair and you are one, is very true...but think about it even if you were to cut your hair, that wouldn't remove that spiritual connection or negative energy you've collected; as you would literally have to pluck each hair strand from the root i.e. hair follicles and allow your scalp to generate new hair. And ultimately, you have to cleanse spiritually and physically i.e. detoxing for months to remove any blocked or trapped energy
@@kieshaarielle OMFG THIS EXPLAIN HOW NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN I JUST CAN NOT FIND MY FREAKING CONDITIONERS!!! Not one!!! I'm kinda sad now but you are MOST DEFLY correct cuz honestly I'm still having problems COMMITTING to detoxing and removing those toxic humans that I just can't seem to let go. So I honestly, truly thank you for my conformation.
I’m 5 years in and going through the same mental shift! Seriously considering combing mine out once my undercut grows out a bit more. That way my hair will be long enough to get braids.
Great video!!! I was just thinking of cutting my Locs because i only have 34 and the parts are too big. I wanted too start over and get more smaller ones. This will save alot of hair 4 years worth LOL.
Thank you for your video. Will it help if you wash your locks beforehand with some detangling shampoo or soak them somehow? Will it maybe make the process a little faster?
I've never unlocked human hair, but years ago i worked at a stable for show horses. It was my job to bring in horses from the pasture and detangle their mane and tails without breaking the hairs. Many had hug mats of hair because they had been out and ungroomed for over a year. I used this exact technique.
The kids are always adorable and Jayden's locks or combed out Locs or so long!! You make it look so simple so can all locks be remove that way even if they were installed by a stylist?
I am only 11 months in and I just want to take down & restart. I think I’d like them to be a little bigger and hopefully go to someone that can make them all the same size. Not some bigger than others. Anyway, since I’m not even a year yet do you think they will be easier to take down?
My dreads are extremely tightly matted. Will this still work? My dreads are super dense and have been locked for 5 years. I want to try this because I can’t imagine cutting my hair!
Thank you for this video he has the same locking method my mom use Plaits, I didn’t even know I was going to loc my hair but my sister was like you might as well because my hair wasn’t growing any other way right now I currently have 34 locs in my hair but I want it to be at about 50 something I just go to the hairdresser to ask them to take this out though when I’m ready.
I’m in the middle of taking mine down now and my thumbs are aching! I’m taking a break because they hurt so bad. Did your thumbs hurt during the take out process? If so, how long did the pain last and how did you handle it while continuing to comb out your locs?

How long did the whole process take you?

I’m glad you are happy with YOUR choice ✨
Wow I just might loc up my hair now that I know I won’t have to cut it all off if I change my mind down the line.
Exactly and if you did decide to cut it you wouldn't have retained A LOT of length 😊
Same thing I said
it hurts i am doing it
Loc it up girl, locs are like your babies. Im taking mine out for now because I want them redone the right way. I did them myself and they need help.
Yeah but yo hair's pm dead dead, thats why I'll cut them soon and comb the rest out to grow my hair back healthy
Didn’t know it was possible to unlock my hair. Hallelujah! Thank you!

I THINK I'm about to start this process with my 10 year old locs, the longest ones are about 18 inches but I've been having bad breakage from leaning on them and sleeping on them then just pulling my head up to get them free, I'll wear my loose hair for a couple weeks and retwist them for fatter locs. Thanks for the informative video!
My first time here I had to subscribe. Anyone who can put the time and energy into this deserves my subscription. Awesome awesome awesome
How I'm I here ? Well, 10 months into locing and I wanna comb my loca out ! Thought of chopping them off but thanks to this video, I'll be combining them out !🥰
Yay! 🥳
Im 13 and got locs when i was 11, i honestly thought my hair was ruined and id have to cut it all off (my hair is almost knee length) this is my first day trying and i have around 50 locs. I was allowed to take them out for my birthday thats in a week, It takes me a bit longer because i dont have a proper comb but so far i should be done in time! Thank you for this video
This made me so comfortable so when I do get dreads and take them out, I’d barely have to worry about the length, thanks!!
You're welcome 😊
i need to do this for my boyfriend cause he doesn’t wanna shave his head so i’m trying to surprise him, i work at a hair salon but we don’t do a lot of natural hair and my boyfriend has natural hair so i’m so lost, this helped me tremendously thank you so much for this
Very time consuming but it works, I took locks out using this process
Im Indian and I have fine indian hair. But lemme tell you. Im 12 and Idk how my hair does it but it becomes so tangled that its basicly dread locks THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! For this video because of you and this vid my hair is perfectly detangled. THANKYOUUUU SOOO MUCHHHHHHHHHH!!! Stay well and stay safe ❤❤❤❤😀😀😀😀😀😁😁😁😄😄😃😃😃
Tysm for the heads up I’m thinking about getting rid of my locs since I miss my beautiful curls and now Ik wut to do 🙂
You're welcome 😊
Thank you, my journey has be only six months and I was ready for a big chop but may I’ll try this just to do a length check 💡
Considering this👀 I have so much color damage though.. so I’ve also been thinking of just letting the roots grow and no retweet
Thank you. Truck driver here, in a hotel at the Indiana-Michigan border because of a truck repair. Will fill my day by using your video to unlock my years-old locks. Thanks!
How'd it go?
@shondalesstudio Your video was such a big help, but my hair was so weak I ended up pulling out the dreads and ending up with a neat little afro.
@@TheWriterWalker this is mot my video. But I am glad you ended up liking your fro.
@@shondalesstudio Thank you, sister.
I needed this video! I want to start over with mine because the first time was a fail. I will go to a professional after I've taken them out!
So happy to know my video could help 😊
I'm redoing my son hair right now. And it's working.. Thanks girl 😘😘 keep doing ya thing 👏👏💛
Decided to use artificial hair and braided it into my real hair and it looks cool.
Am surprised it does kinda help the hair grow.
Hoping to eventually not need artificial hair and also have it long enough to reach my knees.
Thanks so much! i have mixed hair and started my journey 5 months ago but now that i know more about how my hair responses, i realize my parts are too big. This video is encouraging me to know I can safely uncomb what I have so i can restart! yay!!
You're welcome and I am so happy to know that my video was helpful 😊
I have a bunch of lint towards the back of my locs and I’ve tried everything but it’s still there. I realized it was really embedded in my loc. I’m planning to comb out the locs with serious lint and then re-loc them afterwards. Unfortunately when I started my locs I wasn’t so much aware of products I should use and not use. A lady with locs helped me start my locs and she uses a certain beeswax product. Which was the worst mistake ever. I used it for several months before realizing it was a bad idea. I don’t want to cut the back of my locs, so I hope the method of combing out will help ❤
Thank u for this video! My 14 yr old son has been locked for 4yrs and now wants his dreads out. He came to me like I knew what to do lol so I came to youtube and found your video very helpful and straight to the point! I will be trying this on his hair this weekend and will update!
What happened 😭
This was the first video I watched in order to learn how to unlock my son’s hair! Thank you So much! This is a literal life saver for us! 👍🏾☺️
I’m combing out my locs today. I have had them for 14 months and they look terrible. I got them professionally done every 4-6 weeks and they would look good for 4 days but I could not retain moisture. They are still very loose in the front and the sizing is all over the place. They are always frizzy and just look bad. I tried to be patient like everyone says but I just don’t think I have the curl pattern for it. I have S waves. It probably won’t take long to comb them out because it looks like they want to come out anyway. Oh well. I’m still glad I tried it
Wow!!
I am tried - locks are over 10 years OLD. Thanks. I have decided to cut off locks and stop at my new growth. Question ❓ What type of treatment should be provided to your hair after the locked hair is removed. Thanks 😊
If you cut the locs and stopped at the new growth? Then I would suggest maintaining your usual hair care routine, which should include the basics of: shampooing, conditioning, deep conditioning, nourishing the scalp and moisturizing the hair strands with the Hair We Grow hair products of course (www.hairwegrow.store) 🌱😊
This is very helpful. I have had loc extension installed for the past six months using the wrapping method but they're far too heavy. I have been considering instant locs as a replacement thanks to comments referring me to the method on one of my videos. This lets me know I can start down that journey and I have some wiggle room to change my mind. Great video.
Thank you...yeah if you decide to do the instant loc method I also have a video on how to install it. It works on any hair type:

@@kieshaarielle already checked it out! Appreciate it. Keep killing it. You’ve got a new subbie here. 🥰🥰
Awww thank you...welcome aboard 😊
My question is if I installed some locs in my hair when I want to take them out how do i do that do I do the same thing even though it's not my real hair
Yep
I can't believe this, meaning I can undo my dreads? Oh my gosh 💃💃
Lol yes you can indeed 😊
I believe you can unless you’ve been interlocking them
Why do you think if you interlocked them that it can't be undone? I have combed out interlocked locs before 😊
@@kieshaarielle that's cool, I assumed that you couldn't because the use of that crochet tool. Thanks for letting me know it can be done.
You're very welcome 😊
I'm sure I watched this same video the last time I combed out my locs. 😂 Works very well:) Combing out another set today to restart again in October 2022 lol
Why are you combing out another set?
Ty for this I have alot of locs but I hope I'll be able to take them out quick, I want to do it without my mother's help, I want to show her I can do things on my own and she won't need to be upset👍🏿✨
Good instructions! I would also mist with diluted ACV when dealing with pockets of build-up.
Currently takin out my loc i hav 96locs im using detangler and it wrks perfect
Thank you for creating this video and thank you for you babies participation!
Thank you for this!!! I'm here because my 26yr old son has decided he wants to take his dreads out ( I'm not happy about it btw lol) and comes to me with half his hair undreaded and needs me to finish the rest This looks so darn fun 😢😩😒😮💨
Lol it's a lot of fun in the opposite 😅 better find a Netflix series to binge watch
Thanks for teaching me how to take out dreads bc I am making a bipoc character who is black and has dreads and I want a scene where he asks his love interest to help him with taking out his dreads so he can redue them for a special occasion bc they grew out and he hasn’t done them in a bit. He can do it himself but reaching in the back is harder to do and he rather not just blindly do them in the back of his head. I know it’s pretty cliché for me to have two lovers help each other with something but I like to think it’s a nice way for both of them to feel more comfortable around one another.i am white so sadly I didn’t know how it all works but I wanted to know so I can put it in my story the way you are supposed to do it instead of the wrong way. So thanks you helped a lot. You are doing great! Thank you for your content
Lol it would be nice for the character to mention he found out how to undo his dreads from watching my video hahaha #givemesomecredit 😆
I’m definitely thinking about it, it’s the edges for me. The lady who did mine did my edges thinner than the rest. Be loose for awhile then try again now since I have a true preference
I knew there was a away for removing dreadlocks but didn’t know exactly how. My 5yr old son had his for almost 2years and don’t want them anymore because they have grown so much and is now shoulder length, it hurt my heart when he said he just wanted to cut his hair to get them out but I’m so relieved this was an option that works
I am so happy to know my video provided a source of relief for you 😊
Yuss! Been wanting to dread my hair but worried about having to cut them off.thank you!
I've had my locs for 9 years on new years day. But lately I have been going through some natural and spiritual things back to back and have really been considering just starting over. I know that you and your hair is one(or hair is out strength) so when your going through your trials and extreme tribulations your hair is too!!! I literally JUST watched this video and I'm SERIOUSLY considering this method. Somebody, ANYBODY, please tell me to do this!!!
Lol, DO IT!!!! But, after 9 years I am sure your locs are very long, so it will take some time. The interesting thing about this your hair and you are one, is very true...but think about it even if you were to cut your hair, that wouldn't remove that spiritual connection or negative energy you've collected; as you would literally have to pluck each hair strand from the root i.e. hair follicles and allow your scalp to generate new hair. And ultimately, you have to cleanse spiritually and physically i.e. detoxing for months to remove any blocked or trapped energy
@@kieshaarielle OMFG THIS EXPLAIN HOW NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN I JUST CAN NOT FIND MY FREAKING CONDITIONERS!!! Not one!!! I'm kinda sad now but you are MOST DEFLY correct cuz honestly I'm still having problems COMMITTING to detoxing and removing those toxic humans that I just can't seem to let go. So I honestly, truly thank you for my conformation.
DO IT!!!!
I’m 5 years in and going through the same mental shift! Seriously considering combing mine out once my undercut grows out a bit more. That way my hair will be long enough to get braids.
My daughter has been loc’d 8 years. Been using this method (thx). Nearly an hour per loc, but she’s happy. Almost done.
Wish me luck combing out my sons locs now. Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for this video. In the back of my head my locs are thinning so I really want to comb them out and start over
You're welcome 😊 just be more gentle with the locs which are thinning
Thank you for this video I’m currently taking mine out and it’s been a drag! But your comb suggestion is def making it quicker 😭😁🙏🏾
Awww that's perfect!
Are they out
@@Shaquan1002 yea they are! 😁
Is your hair much thinner now? Do u regret removing them? Please advise. Thank u!
Nope it isn't and I don't regret combing out my locs
Cool very helpful my daughter also want to end her loc journey 😕.....but the tips are very helpful... Peace 🌼💛
Great video, i had some minor build up and started the process , so thanks for thia, i knew i was missing a step
Very comprehensive and easy to follow ! Thank you 💙💙
You're welcome 😊
Great video!!! I was just thinking of cutting my Locs because i only have 34 and the parts are too big. I wanted too start over and get more smaller ones. This will save alot of hair 4 years worth LOL.
Oh yes and that length will surprise you 😊
Wow this is a much easier process than I originally thought. Thanks for the help!
Thank you for your video. Will it help if you wash your locks beforehand with some detangling shampoo or soak them somehow? Will it maybe make the process a little faster?
No it wouldn't make the process faster. Because it all depends on the time spent combing out each loc. Working on them one at a time is best
I've never unlocked human hair, but years ago i worked at a stable for show horses. It was my job to bring in horses from the pasture and detangle their mane and tails without breaking the hairs. Many had hug mats of hair because they had been out and ungroomed for over a year.
I used this exact technique.
Definitely doing this. Had my dreads since 2015 but I'm ready to try something new.
Me too!! Had my dreads since May 2015, thinking of starting this tomorrow. How did your process go?
@@KQY614 Pretty smooth honestly. I cut like half the dread then combed out the rest. My head felt so light after😂
I love those locs! Look at that beautiful hair either way! Glad to know that hair loss will be normal!
The kids are always adorable and Jayden's locks or combed out Locs or so long!! You make it look so simple so can all locks be remove that way even if they were installed by a stylist?
Most definitely! You're simply unraveling or "detangling" the locked hair 😊
Going to take my 4 month old locs out because I haven't been taking care of it. Going to do research then get them again later down the line

Mine are interlocked, had em for about 2 and a half years wish me luck
You got this 👍🏼
Thank you for great advice. I combing my locs out❤
Nice channel!!! Might have to do this for my EEG 😔
I am only 11 months in and I just want to take down & restart. I think I’d like them to be a little bigger and hopefully go to someone that can make them all the same size. Not some bigger than others. Anyway, since I’m not even a year yet do you think they will be easier to take down?
It should be 🙂
To prevent excessive hair loss, gently comb from the tips up and not from the top down. The bottom up picking method works best.
I combed out my locs just to get them restarted nd I’ll never comb them out again it took me 3-4days
It’s also good to use vinegar it helps breaks down the dirt easier
Who is here in 2024
😊
Me
Yess!! thank you I’ve been wanting locs now but I thought I couldn’t untangle it. I heard it’s a lot of work to do but I think it will be okay
It is and it will be ok...it just requires patience 😊
My prayer has been answered 🙏🏾 🙌.
Thank youuuuu 🙏.
My dreads are extremely tightly matted. Will this still work? My dreads are super dense and have been locked for 5 years. I want to try this because I can’t imagine cutting my hair!
This is really going to test my patience , I’m so scared. I’ve had my locks for 12 years and I really need a change
I'm currently combing mines out have 18 more to do but it's definitely time consuming
Definitely
Thank you for this video I'm going to try to comb out my locks. I'm a little nervous about it my hair has a lot of thin areas and I have alopecia.
You will be fine. I was dealing with Alopecia when I combed mine out
@@kieshaarielle so I started with sister locs. Is this a problem see since it was interlocked?
I have mines for 13 years or more and I want to do something knew but was to scared to do it so next month I'm going to do it tysm
The conditioner she used was xHC (xpel hair care) Hemp Conditioner
Yessss it's very helpful 😇😊 cause am about to do that on my client. So thanks to that .
You're very welcome 😊
The first time I combed mine out I used a metal pick it worked good lol
Now I can take my dreads out to see what I'd look like with waves and curls 😌
Thank you for this video he has the same locking method my mom use Plaits, I didn’t even know I was going to loc my hair but my sister was like you might as well because my hair wasn’t growing any other way right now I currently have 34 locs in my hair but I want it to be at about 50 something I just go to the hairdresser to ask them to take this out though when I’m ready.
Ok I combed my dreads out after 5 years and not bad I didn't lose length
I’m in the middle of taking mine down now and my thumbs are aching! I’m taking a break because they hurt so bad. Did your thumbs hurt during the take out process? If so, how long did the pain last and how did you handle it while continuing to comb out your locs?
Yes! They did ache and I did take breaks
