I recently decided to comb out my locs, and was able to complete the process within a three week period. I absolutely loved my locs!! And will miss them. But they were starting to get very thin at the roots and my hair was breaking off. I tried just about every thing I could do to repair the thinned out roots, but nothing worked.
So I had to make choice to let go of my locs and transition back to my kinky curly hair. I've had my locs for a decade, so I now have to get use to a whole new texture of hair all over again.
After removing my locs and washing my hair, I saw what a great texture my hair was. So I am excited about being able to try new styles. One thing I did notice was that my hair has major shrinkage. So I may try to experiment with stretching my hair without heat. The style in the photos with my short hair is a twist out. If you want to know more about combing out locs, check out these videos on youtube. I will say that I have always loved locs. Although I was not able to keep them for life as I had hope, I will continue to share and promote the beauty of locs and all natural hair styles & hair types.
Wow! It will be exciting to watch your new journey! My daughter had locks for 7yrs & also just picked hers out about 3wks ago.
