... Read moreCombing out locs is often a significant and emotional journey, especially when dealing with a large number like 66. Many people choose to comb out their locs for various reasons, such as wanting a fresh start, changing their hairstyle, or simply to try something new. The process can be time-consuming and requires patience to avoid damage to the hair and scalp. Before starting, it is important to prepare by moisturizing your hair to soften the locs. Using a good detangling spray or natural oils can help ease the process. Many people use wide-tooth combs or specifically designed loc combs to gently work through the hair without causing breakage. It’s recommended to work slowly, section by section, to manage the complexity of each loc. During the comb out, you may find that some locs are more stubborn due to matting or product buildup. Allowing your hair to soak in conditioner or warm water can help loosen tightly packed strands. Taking breaks and maintaining a gentle approach keeps the experience more comfortable and reduces scalp irritation. Once combed out, the hair might feel fragile or thinner, so attentive hair care is crucial. Deep conditioning treatments and low-manipulation styles can aid in restoring strength and moisture. Additionally, this transition phase is ideal to reassess your hair care routine, focusing on hydration, protection, and growth. If you’re considering combing out your locs, be aware of the emotional and physical investment involved. Many share that the experience, while challenging, is also liberating and empowering—a fresh chapter in their hair journey. Support from hair care communities, online tutorials, and professional advice can be invaluable during this process. Overall, combing out locs is a personal decision that reflects one’s evolving style and identity. Embrace the process with patience and self-care to ensure a healthy and beautiful transition.

I COMBED MY LOCS OUT!!!
yep. I did it in September. but the third time is the charm, right?! I started this set on January 5th, and my hair is the healthiest it's ever been. I didn't plan on cutting and combing out my locs the first 2 times (respectively), but.. it was the best thing for me at the moment.

Usually locs are a decision a person makes for themselves but this was a decision I made for my son AND me. When I say NO ONE wanted me to loc Cegan’s hair - I mean no one! But no one gave me any help doing his hair either! I’d been thinking about loc’ing it since he was 6! And now it was time!

Loc journey
So, believe it or not… this is my SECOND loc journey! I had locs before for about 2 years but wasn’t satisfied with my loc parting and sizing etc plus I developed a scalp issue that I had to get under control. So I combed all 60 something of my locs out! It took almost 2 weeks to do that!!

Let me first say everyone is different especially when it comes to hair. 🫶🏼This was solely based on my experience after some thinking when I combed mine out. If I knew these things before I started I probably wouldn’t have combed them out. I’m looking forward to starting them over again. #locj
