  • Hello Beautiful People! As mentioned in my previous video, I've come to the conclusion that I needed to do something about the length of my locs. I have been suffering from severe neck pain and my locs have been feeling very heavy so I decided to handle it myself. The question is...did I trim or did I cut them/. Watch the video to find out! ☺️

      Thank you so much Misty!!😘🤗 yess I didn’t think I would feel so emotional. I think because I was being forced to do it. It’s been such a relief since though so I’m really happy about that 🙌🏾

    Recording in portrait mode is far better because of how long your locs are. We can see the length more... Landscape would have been too short. Reels, Shorts & Toc vids are all portrait anyways

    Hi Dawn! I'm sure that you can still do that side braid. I remember the side braid video from a few years back. My locs were not long enough at that time but I can do it now. My locs never feel heavy unless they are wet, but seeing that you had over 2 ounces of weight in that little bit, it makes me wonder if some of my neck pain is from this too.🤔 Thanks for sharing💜

    • @itsDawnElle
      @itsDawnElle  Před 7 měsíci +1

      Hi Darlene!! Yes, I'm pretty sure I still can too lol. I need to do that style again because it's been a while, plus it was cute lol! Oh yeah, that's how mine started off at first....only heavy when wet and then next thing you know my neck was hurting me every single day to the point of almost tears at times. I'm afraid your hair maybe the cause of your neck pain, although I'm hoping it's not. Try some neck stretches to see if that helps before you decide to cut them unless you're okay with cutting them now. You're so welcome and thank you so much for watching and walking with me on this journey! 😍
