    I’ve had my sisterlocs for 16 YEARS going on 17 this year. I only had the urge to comb out my locs ONCE due to hair loss. But instead of combining them out or taking them out, I just got them cut into a really cute loc Bob and I’m so happy with that decision. My locs are down my back again and way healthier. #loc’d4life

    My big sister picked out her locks with a thumbtack. She's claims she used a thumbtack only, but we think a comb was involved.
    Anyway I think it took her a few days to do. She didn't show us the final result until it was done & she washed it up and stuff.
    The locs did her justice though, because her hair was long ASF.
    But over time she got over it and chopped it off, she's the type to never keep a style for more than a month.
    She is now a licensed Cosmetologist with her own business. 🤷🏾‍♀️
    So it can be done. Just gotta have time and patience

    As a professional hairdresser I have to mention, you can go back to black after bleaching hair, you need to dye your hair red first before you apply the black dye. The reason for this is because all hair has 2 melanins called eumelanin (Blue, purple, cold pigments) and pheomelanin (red, orange, yellow, warm pigments) and so when you do have bleached hair and then go straight for dying it black you're missing a lot of warm pigment in black hair so it ends up coming off as blue or green. I can get more into detail about it but that's essentially the gist of it, sometimes this method is called "prepping" the hair. This doesn't just apply to black dyes, whenever you want to go darker, always add varying degrees of red, if you want to go from blonde to medium brown, add some less intense red pigment like a pastel red (heavily diluted), if you wanna go black, add straight up red dye before the black.

  • @TheAirynDolce

    Many years ago I combed out my locs and it literally took me two months to get each and every loc unraveled. My hair was about 18" long, some were longer, some shorter so I cut them off to 10" before I started taking them down. I picked at the ends and used baking soda water to break down the buildup. I had a beautiful head of hair afterwards and was very happy with the results.

      I don't know where you live but in my state, employers aren't allowed to ask/tell people to change their look. If the job has a uniform then obviously you have to wear it, but you can still do whatever you want with your hair and face (for example, if you have facial piercings you can leave them in and your job can't say anything about it as long as you're in your uniform). If it's a job where you have to wear a helmet, hard hat or other protective equipment, all you have to worry about is that your hairstyle comfortably fits under the hat/helmet/whatever...

    There's a technique for taking blonde hair back to light brown, med brown, and dark brown, etc. The trick is filling the hair shaft with another color first. It sounds crazy, but it prevents your hair from turning greenish or blueish brown. When you bleach hair, you're leaving the shaft hollow from pulling the pigment out. You need to refill the shaft with a base color before going brown. At least that's how it was explained to me when I made that exact mistake and ended up with greenish brown hair. It was heartbreaking to see my hair like that. Lesson learned. Years later when I decided to go from blonde back to light brown I did it correctly. The color was a beautiful light brown.
    The process of going dark brown from blonde requires that you dye the blonde hair RED first.
    Yes, red.
    If you're going light brown use a golden or light auburn color.
    It fills the shaft with a base color for the brown to lay on.
    First you dye with the filler color, rinse, and dry. Second you apply the brown color of your choice over the red/golden/auburn color.
    I promise, it works.
    Anyone who needed this information..
    You're welcome and happy hair coloring!
    Ps: Brad Mondo has some great videos explaining the mechanics in detail on his TH-cam. There's also great articles online by searching Google.

It looked brown in low light, but in the sun in looked this sickly, nasty, greenish color. What a nightmare! I paid big $$ to a colorist to get it fixed. Thankfully this wonderful professional explained everything I did wrong & how to avoid this happening in the future. It worked beautifully too when I finally felt comfortable doing my own hair years & years later. Best of luck to those brave enough to experiment on their hair.

I dipped my loc into the water mixture, squeezed out the excess water and used a rat tail comb (the one with the metal at the end) and took my time to detangle my hair. My hair was bra strap length after I was finished. Just take your time. I still have my hair so if I decide to loc it back I will use my own hair to do it.

    I cut and combed my locs 5 years ago and it was a very heartbreaking decision. Unfortunately, they were simply too heavy and long for my head (they were down to my waist). I have rocked my natural type 3a/b hair even since, but damn i miss my locs! Might consider getting them again some day..

    I combed out my locs. Put sisterlocs in and no regrets. Mind you they were comb coils and budding at 6 months. The loctitian at the time used a rat comb and kept breaking my hair, then wanted to cut ✂️ it to even it out. I was upset understandably. Took my mom my aunt plus friend at the salon 3 hours lots of conditioner too. Mind you in Africa 🌍 tooo.. I am happy the sisterlocs I got. I am on 1 year 4 months and will never ever comb em out.

    I ended up with hip length hair, but I cut it back to armpit length. I nourashed it back to health, and now it's waist length again.
    I was shocked at the state of my hair after combing them out. My hair just didn't want to hold a curl. I had crazy shrinkage and frizzy hair. It took a few months before it behaved like normal again.

    I remember being at a burger restaurant directly after my wash and set. And the young lady who served me admired my hair. I told her about my journey and she said ‘I was thinking about getting locs to comb them out for the hair growth.’ And I was like 😵‍💫🙅🏾‍♀️ nah chill. I told her that I was blessed to not have damaged my hair too much and retained my length. But I was like don’t go into with that mindset. You’ll hate them. And then there’s no guarantee that once combed out it will be the ‘hair you dreamed it would.’ Combing them out is a difficult decision…at least it was with me.
    It took me 3 weeks to comb out my 77 locs. I liked my locs A LOT. But I didn’t love them. I didn’t really get the style I wanted, so I figured I should comb them out and try again. But my pre-loc shoulder length hair is now half way down my back. The locs might lose this fight. I’ll try again when I hit 40. 😂

    Hairdresser here, I take care of lots of mats Because I am curl focused! Hair gets tighter when you wet it, having straight conditioner is best but the real product to use is definitely a comb, a bag, and a brush. Braid each free section as well. I wouldn't actually recommend straight conditioner either btw, just Incase anyone reads my comment. I would recommend detangler, it isn't going to over soften your hair or make it brittle from to much keratin. If you are healthy haired individual and not color/ chemically altered you can get away with a bit to much moisture or keratin products but for those who have lightened their hair specifically, be very very careful with those pieces of hair as they are much more brittle and cannot have to much or to little of each, so having high end products (not expensive, just ingredient wise very clean and straight to the point like she's moisture and Cantu, or the new clean beauty line from Paul Mitchell) if you have blond-i-fied yourself then I would very much recommend gentler shampoos and shampooing twice as well as using a conditioner that is also a leave in so you don't have to fully rinse your hair at the end, great for the curly folks

    Then over the pandemic I was doing foolishness with adding extensions onto my already long locs which made the heavier. So when my stylist said my loc was starting to thin at the root I told her to cut off the extensions. But then I went home and cut more off into a bob.
    Then I combine them to make then thicker so it’s growing out now and I’m happier with the results.
