Yes!!! I've had locs for 6 years and I've been pondering should I cut them, but listening to your message I know this is what I need to do. Because I don't feel like the reflect who I am currently, the last 6 years of my life have been nothing but shadow work... Ready to fully release all old energy!
I've had my locs for 7 years, I lost best friend then grandma and recently 2023 I lost my mom, I ve had the urge to cut my locs release the pain and start over. Thanks for this video
Thank you for this video. I'm only 3 years and 7 months locd. I started with instant locs and my hair was pretty long prior to getting them as a loose natural. When I got them installed I felt like I found myself. I felt beautiful and feminine for the first time in my LIFE! However the reason I am considering a big chop is because I am taking meds that are cause thining at the root on two locs and my hairline seems to be receding. I'm really struggling with this decision, but I'm leaning more and more towards chopping them off and getting my health right and in turn get my hair right. I dunno if i'm making sense. I also think that doing this will help me to heal and love myself as a woman. I'm 52 years old. I dunno why that matters but I feel I should mention that. Thank you again and stay blessed. Apologies that this comment was so long.
I totally understand how you feel! When I hit 12 years I had a strong urge to cut them, for the same readons as you! I went through a lot with those locs and I wantbto start anew. And I will not reattach them either!
Thank you for sharing this. As soon as i saw the title i knew that the message would be speaking to me. I've had my locs for 14 years and tbh they've been some of the most tumultuous years of my life. Ive been doing a lot of work on myself and my energy and have suddenly started feeling like my hair is weighing me down. I told people that it feels like a burden, like im carrying along a dark and heavy weight that's holding me down. People don't understand and insist that I keep it but I can't even begin to explain how burdensome it feels. Like its holding in all the tears I've shed and the traumas. And I only realized today how true that is because out of the 14 years, the laat five years were even worse and when i look at my locs, from near the root to almost midway down my back has a different texture and look than the rest of my hair! And the toxic environment i was in was most likely the cause. As soon as i figured this out it was like mind blown ... People tell me to just trim the locs. I'm knee length right now but I honestly don't want to keep this hair on my head. I'm scared of how I'd look when i cut it but I also feel such a strong desire to frew myself from the toxic energy as i continue my journey to healing... Thanks again for the video 🤗
@@TheSpiritualExcursion Yesssss this is it! And it's like cutting your hair gives you nothing to hide behind in both the physical and emotional sense. It all came full circle to me when I listened to India Arie's "I am not my hair". I was like damnnnn... Sometimes we don't understand / realize how much power we give to the things in our lives until we are forced to face them D:
I think we try to spiritualise Locs too much. Locs are just hair. We can keep them or lose them. I’ve had Locs since 2001 and have cut them about 5 different times but I do agree that as women we seek to change hairstyles to redefine ourselves. And this can be so with Locs or not. I do not worship my hair and I don’t believe we should totally define ourselves by our hair.
Im five years loc’d. I’m at the point that I have to cut mine because it grows so fast. It’s all the way at my lower back now, and I don’t want my hair touching my butt. I liked when my hair was medium length but it’s just too much to handle at this point. It’s time to release this old energy.
You might not see this, but I really want to cut my hair and I been wanting to cut my hair since I was senior but I just comb my locs out last year a lot bad energy has happened to me. I seen this girl on Instagram washing her hair with locs and instantly wanted to cut my hair, but I just want to start over but I'm so scared please help me love.
5:26 This probably the #1 reason I’m cutting my hair, my hair is too heavy causing it pull at my edges. I want to preserve hairline my as much as possible.
Miss could you please explain why its felt that its a 'journey'? Its hair that' it. I can understand that one feels their medical healing or (exp) cancer tx is a journey, in its self- but HAIR? Maybe its becaus im 64 or white, but i have heard woman of all races say the same word- journey@ if you want to express a journey or a time in your life, write it DOWN! Keep a written log one that you can pass to your children, one that they too will be able to see and read. Take pictures make a journey book. Just saying- m
I have no desire to express to a white woman who has no door connection to her crown why I do have a spiritual connection to my own.. next time don’t comment.
There’s no point in explaining this to someone that doesn’t understand. You’d just have to experience the process of going from short hair to long hair, whether it be Locs, braids, etc.. if you haven’t then you just wouldn’t know. There’s levels of discipline that you go through trying to maintain your hair that actually expresses itself through your character. That’s what the “journey” entails. I could go deeper but that’s the jist of it.

My locs are 12 years old...I resonate 100% with everything you said. I will be cutting mine very soon.
Yea.. when we hit year 11 I just didn’t feel connected anymore
I cut my 12 year old locs 2 weeks ago. I am so happy. I feel so free and light.

Yea.. it was definitely time for me

My ethnic heritage is not white but, pardon me, is america Indian on my mothers side, and Hispanic on my fathers side. Please accept my condolences. M
