Bye Bye Locs

So I officially combed out all my locs and gave myself a custom color and silk press and trim.

Combing out these locs was not easy. I lost some hair but everything you see was just the shed hair after a year.

I was giving Cynthia the doll right after.

Lifted my hair and not that surprisingly the integrity of my hair was still intact.

Went on to tone and color have two peekaboo skunk stripes in the front that blend well with my color.

Deep conditioned right before the silk press and the movement was still there. I also trimmed about 5 inches off so I went from right above waist length to bra strap length.

I have half my head shaved so it looks a lot thinner than it truly is.

Now I’m on to grow my hair back to what it was. So stick along for that journey. 💋

Last picture is me two hours into a 12hour shift.

... Read moreCombing out locs can be an emotional and challenging journey. Many people often consider changing their hairstyle, but the process can involve issues such as shedding and maintaining hair integrity. It is essential to ensure that the hair is properly cared for during this transformation, which includes deep conditioning treatments and trims. After removing locs, users typically focus on nourishing their hair with essential oils and hydration to enhance growth. In recent times, there's been a rising trend for vivid hair colors, including peekaboo highlights, which can add personality to any look. If you're looking to embrace a new style after locs, consider consulting with a professional stylist who specializes in color-treated hair to ensure that your hair remains healthy. Remember, after such a significant change, patience is key as hair grows back. Styling tips, maintaining the health of your hair, and finding the right products can further enhance your experience on your hair journey.

Sooooo… I decided to cut my locs off after 2 years and 1 month. I only cut them because 1. I had a lot a lint and build up in my hair that was t coming out even if I detoxed or brush them. 2. I missed having my natural hair. #bigchop #bigchop2025 #bigchopjourney #hairgrowthjourney
