If you never cut them you would have always wondered about your loose natural hair. It's one life. Do what feels right. You can always grow them back if you feel to
Hi @@conniee7429 🙋🏾♀️ I agree to a LARGE extent. But I also believe it depends on the person's ability to take of their extensions as well as how good of a job the Loctician did. 💞 I've had Loc extensions for nearly two years and never once have I had one fall out. THEY CAN GET HEAVY THOUGH. 😔
I miss your locs too. I followed you becasue your loc journey becasue I had started mine. However, I am also loving your natural hair videos as well. Whichever way you decide to go, I'm gonna ride with you. Do what makes YOU happy.
I feel you!!! I loc’d my hair for hair freedom! I was tired of buying several hair products, weaves, paying salons for braids, styling loose natural hair, etc. my locs are so versatile, I love my retwists, loc styles, and my new growth hair volume...there’s no way I’m cutting them and if I do, I’ll just restart another loc journey!
Am a light skinfire Qheen yeah I have no plans on cutting them ever...it’s my best hair decision I ever made...I’ll keep them trimmed because I’m not interested with having hair past my butt 🤣
I think the beautiful thing to remember about hair is that it always grows back. And one hairstyle shouldn’t ever feel like it has to be permanent. If you want to be bald headed cut it all off. If you wants locs go get those locs! You only live once. Don’t deny yourself the freedom to do whatever the hell you want with the hair that grows out of your head because it’s yours and you have the right to feel happy with whatever hairstyle you choose. Your crown is yours and yours only and it’s yours to change and decorate as you please. ☺️ Sending you all the love and happiness in the world!! 🍀🌞✨ and thank you for coming out here and speaking your truth it takes a lot of guts!!
Nothing wrong with missing them at all! I felt the same before starting my current set and I too felt how you’re feeling as far as the up keep of loose natural hair. I just found that locs suited my lifestyle FAR more than anything else (especially with also becoming a new mom). So I think if ever you decide to either reattach your locs or start a new set, there’d be nothing wrong with that either. Zero judgement over here. Life’s short and we all have a right to do what resonates with us!💚🙂
7 years ago I cut my locks and have been getting to know (and enjoying) my loose natural hair for the first time in my adulthood. Lately, though i’ve been feeling like what you mentioned. Wanting to start my locs again has been sitting on my heart and i’ve decided to go for it! Once quarantine is lifted, I’ll be starting my journey again.
Well it’s ok. Especially if you never experienced loose hair. I experienced both for many years equally and I prefer locs. Enjoy your hair. These people will get over it either way!
I just started microlocs and I miss my loose hair lol. BUT I'm (TRY to)see this thing through too because it took way too long to put these damn things in. Personally, I think you look just as beautiful with loose hair as with locked hair. Sometimes I feel like we seek our 'old' hair because it was our comfortable place where we had everything figured out.
leiahart wow yes micro locs do take awhile to install, I would definitely give it some time! & thank you so much 🙏🏽 I agree our comfort zone is usually the go to & it can be scary to try new things with your hair but it’s so worth it.
@@JohnsonKayla12 lol it is funny that your comment came to me at this exact moment since I just started taking them out yesterday, and it’s taking forever. I’m only 8 month in and never realized how much my hair matured. When I was around 3 weeks I wanted to take them out too but if I was you I would question why you actually want to take them out. Sometimes we just want to because we’re uncomfortable and that discomfort makes us forget why we put them in in the first place -convenience, aesthetics, etc. Once, I got past my first interlock session those thoughts went away so I think I was more anxious about all the growth on my head as well as interlocking process (since I have about 300 locs). Also once my hair thickened up, I definitely enjoyed my hair a lot more and rarely wanted to take them down. And even though I’m taking them down now, it’s more because I realize I don’t really like a lot of hair in my face and want more variety. I like wearing my hair pulled-back, miss my puffs and chunky twist. So loose hair seems like the right option for me at the moment. I think If I locked again, I would have bigger locs -my microlocs often felt too fragile to pull back, or maybe I’m just tender headed, and also I had a lot of holes in my locs from improper interlocking, which I am too lazy to try to fix, so I’m just going to take them out. This is like my six pair of starter locs too, lol, but the longest I’ve ever lasted. I seem to start them every 2 years too. And we’ll see if I continue to sound so hopeful a week from now when I got all this hair down Lol. Anyway, I hope my experience helped you somehow.
I like your hair either way 💁🏽♀️ I like seeing your journey of getting to know your loose hair and taking care of it and if you decide to get loc'd again, you'll have a greater understanding of your hair 👍🏼
It happens... I am on my 3rd or 4th set yes... there is a freedom to be natural. With locs I'm like yeah. Grounded and with my loose fro, yeah fight the power. I came to terms, it's just hair. Alot of naturals (black) been robbed of understandinh that history. We are continuing to grow and thanks for sharing.
My first thought when I started the video was "wow, she looks so pretty like this!" You're right in that you shouldn't regret your decision to cut your locs, especially after being loc'd your whole life. You had a curiosity about your hair that you probably would still be mulling over if you had locs to this day. Sometimes you just have to make the change to know what it's like! I'm happy you got to experience your curly hair, whether you decide to return to locs or not. I was permed most of my life and only recently started locs after being a "loose natural" for almost 5 years. You're still a loc/natural hair inspo to a lot of us, and I still queue up your loc videos when I need a lift lol. You're still the Vanessa we love.
I like your truth and the way you express yourself. We're human and we have a right to change, reshape and mold in our journey. Thanks a million times for this video and yes you definitely look good in what your wearing.
I was super close to combing my locs out last week!! I impulsively combed one out, saw the shrinkage and twisted it right back up lol. Sometimes you think you wanna comb out your locs but you really just need to try a new style. I did a new color and 2 strand twists and have never loved my locs more! Maybe switching up your loose hair will do the trick for you.. no shame in reattaching either though your locs were beautiful 😍
I'll have mine for 4 years at the end of July. I've been thinking about cutting mine because of health issues. But I hate when people act like the "loc police" and say things to make you feel bad for cutting them. At the end of the day it was your hair and your choice, it didn't directly affect anyone else so people shouldn't harass you about it and worry about their own hair journey. I feel like it was divine timing and everything happens for a reason. You look beautiful either way and I'll stay subscribed to you no matter what you look like because I watch you for your vibe and love your personality!
I can definitely relate. I'm on my third set of locs and while I loved my first set, and I love my loose natural hair, I dont see myself without locs. I'm 15 months into my current journey and I'm loving them again. You are allowed to change your mine about YOUR hair and your life.
I had Locs until I was 12 and then I cut them, I wore a lot of styles natural and permed, weaves and braids all of it. But then came to realize at 22 I didn’t want it anymore. So I got my Locs back, it’s just hair honey grown em back!
I know how you feel. I just started my loc journey 2 months ago and as much as I’m excited for them to grow, I miss my loose hair. I look at old pics like damn I was so confident and a bad bih.lol I think I miss my confidence the most and maybe that what you’re missing too.
Do what makes you happy! It’s your hair journey. Your locs were so beautiful, when I got my locs started I showed my stylist your videos to “model” my locs after🤍still a fan no matter what you choose!
Do what you want. Buuuuut, if you ask me, I think you should get em back. Locs are WHAT.IS.UP. You learned the lesson. Get em back. ❤️ ur happiness either way.
Started my second set 2 months ago. And you are my locs inspiration. One of them. But I think you'll start them again. Locs are so beautiful, especially how society puts them down. I'm keeping them this time. Either way, you are still you, and change is more than what your hair looks like. Hope all is well. As I am too figuring out more who I am at 29, about to be thirty. It's a beautiful journey.
It's been fun watching you figure out your loose natural curls. Your even more relatable now. Many things you say I can relate to like yup that's exactly how my mornings are EVERYDAY lol. I've been embracing my natural hair more since your journey. Your videos have taught me that you can always go back if you want. Its different, but you look absolutely gorgeous with loose curls as well. I am still considering locs but am very scared to try especially if the journey is anything like my big chop journey. I dang near needed therapy. Lol
De' Actra thank you so much for this 🙏🏽 sometimes it’s difficult knowing if I’m really helping anyone with this new hair journey I’m on but I’m happy someone finds it relatable ❤️
@@seraphinasb988 i am a loc specialist you need to secure you hair dont keep it unsecured in loose it's a headache high maintenance and damage and breakage will heppen so if you want to know the best way to start your loc Journey we will guide you to the best shinny healthy looking locs follow or loc Journey page we have a you tube up soon
My locs were 13 years passed my butt, and were getting heavy so I cut them to the middle of my back. I felt like it was a huge mistake it was like part of a power taken. (Sampson from the bible). I am not going to cut them again.
Donna Johnson maybe lighten them up by getting a layering/dusting of your ends. Removes weight without robbing you of length. Great bc you don’t want the weight to cause breakage/recession.
I feel you 💯. I used to watch your videos with my loc journey and I recently took mine out as well. I too miss mine as well. You’re right there is a certain vibe that comes with locs. It was a beautiful journey. But you can always get them again. It’s YOUR hair so don’t let anyone get to you with negativity. You are still beautiful without them as well. You be you! Peace✌🏽
No lie, i was kinda sad when you cut them because i had just started my loc journey a year ago & i started watching your videos. But at least i still have all your videos to watch. ❤️
Follow are loc Journey page we will carry you the rest of the way rule number one never cut your locs trust me your hair will thank you will are going have a you tube put up soon
I want to say loc it up, but I also think loose natural is a journey and you have to give it a fair shot. I have loose natural hair and I day dream about having locs, but with loose natural hair there are protective styles as an option for when you need breaks so you get the best of both worlds.
No shame in your game You've had these locs for a long time. It's natural to miss them. Besides, had you let them go, you would have never known how much you miss them. It's okay for your hair journey to change.
I'm combing out mine after about 9 years and I just cut them a year ago. I feel like, I know I'm gonna miss them and I know I'm gonna struggle with my natural hair. But I want to do it now. I wanna play with my hair and do fun wigs and styles I didn't do when I was younger. I have the patience now that I didn't have before so I'm looking forward to it. I'm gonna try and give it a year and if I don't like it, I'll just get locs again. I just feel like the way mine are now ... it isn't what I want/need right now and I'm gonna just take the risk and see what happens
You were an inspiration when I first started my locs 2 years ago but I truly understand why it was necessary to go and cut them do what best for your spirit if you get them again it’s your choice ❤️😊🙏🏽be bless
You have an asmr voice, try doing a mukbang one day. Your voice is very soothing like a when you listen to oceans and like wind sounds at night haha your hair is gorgeous whether loced or out. Keep rocking ya natural mane girly🥳
You already know....do your thing!!! You can have any style you want and etc...I know you miss them and if you choose to have them back then so be it!!! I love your look now and I loved your locks then...beauty is beauty and you are rare...DO WHATEVER YOU LIKE LOL 💯💯💯💪💪💪🙏🙏🙏👀👀👀❤❤❤
I just started my loc journey again with two strand twists Friday and honestly I went through with it last time for only 4 months, but with coils. I just really started to miss my loose natural hair and I couldn't take it anymore so I combed my hair. Now that I look back I think why did I do that I could've been 2 years in with so much progress, lol. So of course I'm going to commit this time because I gave it more thought and having locs has a whole lot more pros than cons and loose natural hair has more cons than pros. Now my mind is set on "Why not just go for it?" I hate styling my own hair, I hate wash day, I don't like the high maintenance, I HATE detangling, and I don't like worrying about shedding or split ends. With locs I get to keep every bit of my hair and I never heard of anyone saying that they had to trim their split ends. Sorry for the long comment, but basically I'm just saying that I'm never going back and I understand how you feel. I have had loose natural hair all of my life so I'm use to having that kind of lifestyle and it feels odd to change, but as humans we grow and give things thought. You have never experienced loose natural hair and this is your chance to take it and I'm happy for you.
You or right unsecured hair meaning not loc is the worse it comes with high maintenance breakage split ends damage and time-consuming get your hair secure and loc right away i am a loc specialist in i will guide you to the healthiest locs that can imagine
Hey you look great! And you are so entitled to how you feel! Try Faux locs maybe that will allow you to still work with your curly hair and also achieve the look :)
This is my second lock journey. Hoping to do better, but understanding that if they thin out again it will be bye-bye. Again. Each journey is different. Thank you for sharing your feelings. Also, I like your short natural nails. The claw, extra long is very popular but I have fun polishing my own natural length. And seeing that on other women. Be well....
Hi! Maybe you could try faux locs. I know you’ve had locs for a long time but maybe that will help you determine if you want to loc your hair again or if you are eager to get back to you hair the way it is now. Either way you are beautiful and both styles suit you marvelously
On the 4th of April I’ll be 5 months locked I like them a lot, there are some days I want to take them down then I remember the wash days and detangling plus I couldn’t figure out how to stop my ends from being so bad so yes locs it is.
I, miss my locs too!!! My, hair was falling out in chunks last year due to STRESS... I, shaved ALL of my hair off.. Nothing, but bare scalp!!! I, will be continuing to grow my hair and, start my fresh set before the Summer 💜🙏🏽😊 Love, your channel #SUBSRIBED &, Remember *The Choice Is Yours*...You, Are Beautiful Inside &, Out!!! ..Be Blessed. I'll, be starting them myself &, maintaining them myself! It'll, be my 4/5 set..lol
That is normal. I had loose natural hair like yours for years and there was a period when I loced my hair that I had those same thoughts. Because locs when you are learning them is a lot of work trying to figure it out. But do you. If you miss, that’s fine. If you go back to them ok, if you don’t that’s ok. That’s what’s so great about us we are always able change, to evolve and elevate 😊
Thank you for allowing me to live vicariously through you! I’m 9 years locked and type 4 hair just like yours. I’ve been itching to comb them out, but I know I won’t want to deal with my loose natural after awhile. Locs are literally wake up and go most days. But if you can stick with your loose hair until it grows you may love it even more. It’s another journey! Get some faux locks or long braids for awhile?
My best advice to everyone. When you are young go whatever you want with your hair. Because it will always grow back. However once you start reaching menopause, you wish your hair will grow. (No hormones, no hair 😞
U are too pretty! I loved your locs, u have nice hair anyways. I love the color. U can be bald u still fire. There is a time and place for everything....... we don’t stay in the same place forever. U want loose hair today, locs tomorrow it does not matter. Just be happy. U are allowed to change your mind as long as u keep that personality u are ok. Enjoy life.
I agree u look better and more exotic with locs now u look regular. I feel the same way because when I cut my locs now I look basic and I’m sad about it too.
I can relate to how you feel. I watched when you cut your locs . I was natural for 10 years and now I’m locing my hair and I feel like I didn’t allow enough time as a loose natural. You are beautiful burg ways. It is your hair. When you have got some more length and volume, you may feel differently. Either way, I think take your time to make your decision an enjoy the journey.
Coming from a guy that has locs for 5+ yrs idk why but somehow find women w locs more attractive now like more than just a physical attraction, shout out to the beatiful ladies w/o locs we see you baybee!! 🦋 rebirth of locs in the nearby future @Vanessa Sha'ni?
As we go through the journey its always great to self reflect. You are amazing!!! It is truly wonderful to be able to experiment and also neccessary for us to grow. Painful as it may sometimes be.... Just do it. You're still the bomb💥💥💥
I had my locs for 7 years. Traditional locs 85 to 90 locs. 4 years later I felt the same way so now I’m on my 2nd set with the 2 strand method. I have 45 locs but it’s still a full look. I wanted a thicker set.
I'm here because I'm missing my locs too. And I'm thinking about my 2nd set... I'm going to try and make it with my loose hair until my would be 11th lociversary. I feel you completely.
This sounds so much like me! I had traditional locs for 4 years and comb them out bc I wanted to see how my hair would be as a loose natural. ALL my friends were so displeased with my choice and gave me the same comments you received 😆 Well, I did loose natural for 3 years and it was just not working for my 4c hair! I went through a phase of deciding to get locs again.. 9 months during year 3 specifically. On June 1, 2019, I got microlocs and I'm LOVING IT! At the end of the day its it's your and you do what's convenient for you! 😉
Everyone has seasons. This was your season to cut it, maybe in a new season you will start again. Either way enjoy the season the most high has you in spiritually.🙏🙏🙏💓
It'll take time to get used to your loose hair it was 10years it's almost close to a break up, it takes time and I felt the same way sometime I still do and I've only been on this loc journey for two years but it takes time I miss my loose hair believe it or not my locs made me realise I should've appreciated my hair as much as I do now but this Tracy is not the Tracy loose hair I am learning to embrace this new version, so embrace this new Vanessa! it all growth and part of your journey
Yes locs are the best and it is protective for the hair in low maintenance unsecured hair meaning not loc is a headache the worse it is high maintenance time consuming and the hair could be easily damaged and have breakage in your hair will never grow loc and secure in protect you hair at all times we will have a healthy loc Journey Channel up soon
I just started my third set lol I wanted to see what my hair felt like loose now I'm over it .. I thought I wasnt pretty with locs then I went back to pics and was like you know what everyone is going to be like what see ..I told you but I don't care its hair I do what I want. I like the low maintenance and my hair grew the longest ever with locs so i started my own set. You look dope with either.
I get it, 👈 this is an old pic. I have mid- back length locs 6 years old. I get it but at the end of the day, you are beautiful with or without locs. You rock you natural loose hair so well. Enjoy it and theres no pressure You can always return to the loc world whenever you feel. Be blessed with the fact that you can make these decisions with your hair gracefully knowing that it is a win - win with you being beautiful.
You’re young you should enjoy you’re loose natural. You have the rest of your life to do locs again. I started my locs at 50 and I’m 55. I enjoyed relax hair natural hair now locs to go into retirement
Loose natural hair is a lot of work. And your hair is always subject to frizz-up in wet 💦 conditions (rain, sweat, humidity, swimming, etc). I think you lost a lot of freedom to not worry that your hair is changing every time there’s heat or rain🌧.
I have been missing my lose natural hair. July it will be two years I would be loc'd this year. Then I think I will miss my loc's if I get rid of them. Some of us women don't know what we want at times. LOL Any way we can rock whatever style we choose. :)
I’ve had locs since I was 7 and I’m 20 so I don’t even remember what my loose natural hair looks like. I’ve always contemplated taking out my locs. But I really can’t seems to part from them. I might just get a wig or smth lol 😭
If you never cut them you would have always wondered about your loose natural hair. It's one life. Do what feels right. You can always grow them back if you feel to
Agreed !! ♥️
Exactly! She could even get loc extensions if she doesn't want to go through the regrowing process
@@AlllSmiless loc extensions not good for the hair. As hair grows, it becomes heavy on the roots causing break off and damage later on
EXACTLY 💕

Whatever you decide to do...stay natural, start a new loc journey, reattach, start wearing weaves....we are here for it!!!
I know how you feel. I just started my loc journey 2 months ago and as much as I’m excited for them to grow, I miss my loose hair. I look at old pics like damn I was so confident and a bad bih.lol I think I miss my confidence the most and maybe that what you’re missing too.
Right now I have both natural hair and locs. I missed my natural hair so I combed out the front locs. I have my own style now. Loving it
I like hair. Period. I loved your locs and u put out plenty of loc videos so i can go back and get style ideas. But im loving you loose hair too! 💖
I love how transparent you are your energy and vibe is everything. Much love to you 💙💙
Do what makes you happy! It’s your hair journey. Your locs were so beautiful, when I got my locs started I showed my stylist your videos to “model” my locs after🤍still a fan no matter what you choose!
Do what you want. Buuuuut, if you ask me, I think you should get em back. Locs are WHAT.IS.UP. You learned the lesson. Get em back. ❤️ ur happiness either way.
Started my second set 2 months ago. And you are my locs inspiration. One of them. But I think you'll start them again. Locs are so beautiful, especially how society puts them down. I'm keeping them this time. Either way, you are still you, and change is more than what your hair looks like. Hope all is well. As I am too figuring out more who I am at 29, about to be thirty. It's a beautiful journey.
Thanks for being so vulnerable hun 💕 I believe your feelings are probably a combination of missing your LOCs and these quarantine shenanigans 😔
It's been fun watching you figure out your loose natural curls. Your even more relatable now. Many things you say I can relate to like yup that's exactly how my mornings are EVERYDAY lol. I've been embracing my natural hair more since your journey. Your videos have taught me that you can always go back if you want. Its different, but you look absolutely gorgeous with loose curls as well. I am still considering locs but am very scared to try especially if the journey is anything like my big chop journey. I dang near needed therapy. Lol
De' Actra thank you so much for this 🙏🏽 sometimes it’s difficult knowing if I’m really helping anyone with this new hair journey I’m on but I’m happy someone finds it relatable ❤️
Anytime Sister Queen, I'm here for all of it!!
@@seraphinasb988 i am a loc specialist you need to secure you hair dont keep it unsecured in loose it's a headache high maintenance and damage and breakage will heppen so if you want to know the best way to start your loc Journey we will guide you to the best shinny healthy looking locs follow or loc Journey page we have a you tube up soon
I started following your loc journey videos when I was starting my loc journey but I'm staying for YOU. Enjoy your hair journey however you want
My locs were 13 years passed my butt, and were getting heavy so I cut them to the middle of my back. I felt like it was a huge mistake it was like part of a power taken. (Sampson from the bible). I am not going to cut them again.
Donna Johnson maybe lighten them up by getting a layering/dusting of your ends. Removes weight without robbing you of length. Great bc you don’t want the weight to cause breakage/recession.
Maybe get an undercut to take away from some of the weight.
I feel you 💯. I used to watch your videos with my loc journey and I recently took mine out as well.
I too miss mine as well. You’re right there is a certain vibe that comes with locs. It was a beautiful journey. But you can always get them again. It’s YOUR hair so don’t let anyone get to you with negativity. You are still beautiful without them as well. You be you! Peace✌🏽
No lie, i was kinda sad when you cut them because i had just started my loc journey a year ago & i started watching your videos. But at least i still have all your videos to watch. ❤️
Follow are loc Journey page we will carry you the rest of the way rule number one never cut your locs trust me your hair will thank you will are going have a you tube put up soon
I am a loc specialists
I want to say loc it up, but I also think loose natural is a journey and you have to give it a fair shot. I have loose natural hair and I day dream about having locs, but with loose natural hair there are protective styles as an option for when you need breaks so you get the best of both worlds.
No shame in your game
You've had these locs for a long time. It's natural to miss them. Besides, had you let them go, you would have never known how much you miss them. It's okay for your hair journey to change.
Glad you're back! 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾
I love this video. I am living through you. At the cross roads with my locs RN so thanks girl x
I'm combing out mine after about 9 years and I just cut them a year ago. I feel like, I know I'm gonna miss them and I know I'm gonna struggle with my natural hair. But I want to do it now. I wanna play with my hair and do fun wigs and styles I didn't do when I was younger. I have the patience now that I didn't have before so I'm looking forward to it. I'm gonna try and give it a year and if I don't like it, I'll just get locs again. I just feel like the way mine are now ... it isn't what I want/need right now and I'm gonna just take the risk and see what happens
You are a queen 👑. Just wanted to say that randomly 😂🤷🏾♀️.
Catherine Bruce thank you gorgeous 😘
You were an inspiration when I first started my locs 2 years ago but I truly understand why it was necessary to go and cut them do what best for your spirit if you get them again it’s your choice ❤️😊🙏🏽be bless
You have an asmr voice, try doing a mukbang one day. Your voice is very soothing like a when you listen to oceans and like wind sounds at night haha your hair is gorgeous whether loced or out. Keep rocking ya natural mane girly🥳
You already know....do your thing!!! You can have any style you want and etc...I know you miss them and if you choose to have them back then so be it!!! I love your look now and I loved your locks then...beauty is beauty and you are rare...DO WHATEVER YOU LIKE LOL 💯💯💯💪💪💪🙏🙏🙏👀👀👀❤❤❤
I just started my loc journey again with two strand twists Friday and honestly I went through with it last time for only 4 months, but with coils. I just really started to miss my loose natural hair and I couldn't take it anymore so I combed my hair. Now that I look back I think why did I do that I could've been 2 years in with so much progress, lol. So of course I'm going to commit this time because I gave it more thought and having locs has a whole lot more pros than cons and loose natural hair has more cons than pros. Now my mind is set on "Why not just go for it?" I hate styling my own hair, I hate wash day, I don't like the high maintenance, I HATE detangling, and I don't like worrying about shedding or split ends. With locs I get to keep every bit of my hair and I never heard of anyone saying that they had to trim their split ends. Sorry for the long comment, but basically I'm just saying that I'm never going back and I understand how you feel. I have had loose natural hair all of my life so I'm use to having that kind of lifestyle and it feels odd to change, but as humans we grow and give things thought. You have never experienced loose natural hair and this is your chance to take it and I'm happy for you.
You or right unsecured hair meaning not loc is the worse it comes with high maintenance breakage split ends damage and time-consuming get your hair secure and loc right away i am a loc specialist in i will guide you to the healthiest locs that can imagine
Follow or loc Journey page we will have a you tube up soon
I had a dream I cut my locs, when I woke up I was happy af it was just a dream😂😂 never cutting mine.
T-Raines I’ve had this dream twice this month no cap
Hey you look great! And you are so entitled to how you feel! Try Faux locs maybe that will allow you to still work with your curly hair and also achieve the look :)
Buuuuuutttt... I’m really loving this look! You and your hair 😍😍😍
This is my second lock journey. Hoping to do better, but understanding that if they thin out again it will be bye-bye. Again. Each journey is different. Thank you for sharing your feelings. Also, I like your short natural nails. The claw, extra long is very popular but I have fun polishing my own natural length. And seeing that on other women. Be well....
Hi! Maybe you could try faux locs. I know you’ve had locs for a long time but maybe that will help you determine if you want to loc your hair again or if you are eager to get back to you hair the way it is now. Either way you are beautiful and both styles suit you marvelously
On the 4th of April I’ll be 5 months locked I like them a lot, there are some days I want to take them down then I remember the wash days and detangling plus I couldn’t figure out how to stop my ends from being so bad so yes locs it is.
O'mya Rose throw a wig on girl. Everytime I get tired of mine I wear a wig for a day or 2 and those feelings go away
Life With Yannie I truly thought about it lol I need to find a good wig.
O'mya Rose go on AliExpress. If you take care of it. It will last trust me. Especially if you won’t be wearing it everyday and sleeping in it
Come follow or. Healthy loc Journey page for locs are the best
I, miss my locs too!!! My, hair was falling out in chunks last year due to STRESS... I, shaved ALL of my hair off.. Nothing, but bare scalp!!! I, will be continuing to grow my hair and, start my fresh set before the Summer 💜🙏🏽😊 Love, your channel #SUBSRIBED &, Remember *The Choice Is Yours*...You, Are Beautiful Inside &, Out!!! ..Be Blessed. I'll, be starting them myself &, maintaining them myself! It'll, be my 4/5 set..lol
Girl I combed mine out last year and restarted them in February go head and twist up
Straight to the point 😂
Chim Cham 😂😂 gotta be
That is normal. I had loose natural hair like yours for years and there was a period when I loced my hair that I had those same thoughts. Because locs when you are learning them is a lot of work trying to figure it out. But do you. If you miss, that’s fine. If you go back to them ok, if you don’t that’s ok. That’s what’s so great about us we are always able change, to evolve and elevate 😊
Thank you for allowing me to live vicariously through you! I’m 9 years locked and type 4 hair just like yours. I’ve been itching to comb them out, but I know I won’t want to deal with my loose natural after awhile. Locs are literally wake up and go most days. But if you can stick with your loose hair until it grows you may love it even more. It’s another journey! Get some faux locks or long braids for awhile?
I miss your locs too😿 that’s the whole reason I subscribed
My best advice to everyone. When you are young go whatever you want with your hair. Because it will always grow back. However once you start reaching menopause, you wish your hair will grow. (No hormones, no hair 😞
Come back! I loved your locs but you look great either way
You Can Always Re-Attach Them If You Still Have Them it’s Your Own Hair !!! Whenever You Like See!!! No Problems!!💛🍯💛🍯💛🍯
Flower_of_ Ra' I think she combed them out tho
U are too pretty! I loved your locs, u have nice hair anyways. I love the color. U can be bald u still fire. There is a time and place for everything....... we don’t stay in the same place forever. U want loose hair today, locs tomorrow it does not matter. Just be happy. U are allowed to change your mind as long as u keep that personality u are ok. Enjoy life.
I agree u look better and more exotic with locs now u look regular. I feel the same way because when I cut my locs now I look basic and I’m sad about it too.
I can relate to how you feel. I watched when you cut your locs . I was natural for 10 years and now I’m locing my hair and I feel like I didn’t allow enough time as a loose natural.
You are beautiful burg ways. It is your hair. When you have got some more length and volume, you may feel differently. Either way, I think take your time to make your decision an enjoy the journey.
The Spirit is calling you back to Locs, it's time to grow them back. You can start with me, I need to grow afro first tho.
Coming from a guy that has locs for 5+ yrs idk why but somehow find women w locs more attractive now like more than just a physical attraction, shout out to the beatiful ladies w/o locs we see you baybee!! 🦋 rebirth of locs in the nearby future @Vanessa Sha'ni?
As we go through the journey its always great to self reflect. You are amazing!!! It is truly wonderful to be able to experiment and also neccessary for us to grow. Painful as it may sometimes be.... Just do it. You're still the bomb💥💥💥
You do what makes you happy. It doesn't matter what me or anybody else says.
I had my locs for 7 years. Traditional locs 85 to 90 locs. 4 years later I felt the same way so now I’m on my 2nd set with the 2 strand method. I have 45 locs but it’s still a full look. I wanted a thicker set.
I'm here because I'm missing my locs too. And I'm thinking about my 2nd set... I'm going to try and make it with my loose hair until my would be 11th lociversary. I feel you completely.
This sounds so much like me! I had traditional locs for 4 years and comb them out bc I wanted to see how my hair would be as a loose natural. ALL my friends were so displeased with my choice and gave me the same comments you received 😆
Well, I did loose natural for 3 years and it was just not working for my 4c hair! I went through a phase of deciding to get locs again.. 9 months during year 3 specifically.
On June 1, 2019, I got microlocs and I'm LOVING IT!
At the end of the day its it's your and you do what's convenient for you! 😉
I feel you! I miss mine as well. I'm contemplating starting a second set.
Everyone has seasons. This was your season to cut it, maybe in a new season you will start again. Either way enjoy the season the most high has you in spiritually.🙏🙏🙏💓
It'll take time to get used to your loose hair it was 10years it's almost close to a break up, it takes time and I felt the same way sometime I still do and I've only been on this loc journey for two years but it takes time I miss my loose hair believe it or not my locs made me realise I should've appreciated my hair as much as I do now but this Tracy is not the Tracy loose hair I am learning to embrace this new version, so embrace this new Vanessa! it all growth and part of your journey
Its way easier trying to nourish hair in locs than hair when loose
Just enjoy whatever journey you're on.
I started this video and stopped paying attention because your voice was so relaxing I sat back and forgot I started the video
You can not regret your decision to cut your locks AND miss them at the same time... I am locked and i miss my fro sometimes
Aww thanks for being honest with us. Love your videos 😍
I missed mine. So happy to have them again.
i felt that way 2 times so this My 3rd time having them Never getting rid of them again
shawnte fletcher a friend of mine did the same. Sometimes it takes a couple sets of locs to get it right lol.
Yes locs are the best and it is protective for the hair in low maintenance unsecured hair meaning not loc is a headache the worse it is high maintenance time consuming and the hair could be easily damaged and have breakage in your hair will never grow loc and secure in protect you hair at all times we will have a healthy loc Journey Channel up soon
I just started my third set lol I wanted to see what my hair felt like loose now I'm over it .. I thought I wasnt pretty with locs then I went back to pics and was like you know what everyone is going to be like what see ..I told you but I don't care its hair I do what I want. I like the low maintenance and my hair grew the longest ever with locs so i started my own set. You look dope with either.
I’m starting my 2nd loc journey. I just missed them. I’ve been a loose natural for 3 1/2 years; so I gave it a good go. It’s time to return❤️ for me.
Girl me tooo😭 but I promised myself to start over in 2 yrs!!🌸
I get it, 👈 this is an old pic. I have mid- back length locs 6 years old. I get it but at the end of the day, you are beautiful with or without locs. You rock you natural loose hair so well. Enjoy it and theres no pressure You can always return to the loc world whenever you feel. Be blessed with the fact that you can make these decisions with your hair gracefully knowing that it is a win - win with you being beautiful.
I miss your locs too.......so beautiful
Would you ever consider restarting them?
Dont worry, when you're ready take your time and re grow your locs
I started mine because of you sis, you can start a new set of locs anyway
I miss your Locs too, but do you sis, it’s your journey. Either way, your beautiful!
You look pretty either way. Give yourself some time to enjoy the loose natural. If you want to go back to locs, that’s fine too. 😊
You’re young you should enjoy you’re loose natural. You have the rest of your life to do locs again. I started my locs at 50 and I’m 55. I enjoyed relax hair natural hair now locs to go into retirement
You look nice either way, but I must say the locs had you radiating with a different type of Aura. I hope you go back to the locs.
Loose natural hair is a lot of work. And your hair is always subject to frizz-up in wet 💦 conditions (rain, sweat, humidity, swimming, etc). I think you lost a lot of freedom to not worry that your hair is changing every time there’s heat or rain🌧.
I have been missing my lose natural hair. July it will be two years I would be loc'd this year. Then I think I will miss my loc's if I get rid of them. Some of us women don't know what we want at times. LOL Any way we can rock whatever style we choose. :)
Your hair looks amazing btw!!!!
Start your new locs.
I miss them too 😞they were so beautiful and long. Either way ur beautiful 🌸
Not related to this video but where do you get your colored contacts from? They look nice
I’ve had locs since I was 7 and I’m 20 so I don’t even remember what my loose natural hair looks like. I’ve always contemplated taking out my locs. But I really can’t seems to part from them. I might just get a wig or smth lol 😭
