I cut my locs to shoulder length and combed them out in 2008; it took three months. When I went to a salon she said my hair was in really good shape and all I needed was a trim. I got exhausted trying to learn my hair and loc'ed back up in 2014. I've learned a lot since then and I'm ready to try my loose natural hair again, so I am currently in the process of combing them back out from shoulder length locs. My advice would be use a lot of slippery conditioner and Shea butter, that's what works for me. When you get a section of a loc loose, if possible, try to work as much as you can loose with your fingers. Don't be afraid about the amount of hair that you are losing. Keep in mind that if you have had your locks for years and it is normal to shed hair on a daily basis, you have not shed any hair in years. The majority of what's coming out is shed hair, and your hair will feel like it's thin but it really isn't. I can tell there is a difference between the new growth and the loc'd portion of a section of hair. To me the loc'd part is twice as dense because it's never had an opportunity to shed. What confirms this for me is the fact that in my pictures when I first got my locks redone my comb coils looked so thin and scalpy as opposed to my mature locks now that look thick and full. I'm 4c-4z by the way. Hope this helps. 💕
just combed my locs out retained all my length past my shoulders condition condition condition clip your ends and all is well keep in leave in conditioner and leave it alone a bun wash and go or just go curly
I hope when I decide to comb mine out I have the same results

You do not need to cut all your hair off, there are lots of ways to strengthen and thicken your hair. You only need to clip off the bad ends and treat your hair .
Agreed! I personally just decided to cut all of mine off.
My hair is sooo fine after I combed out my locs! I don’t regret my decision but it’s heartbreaking seeing how much my ends are damaged. I’ve had really thick, long, full hair my whole life so this was a bit of a shock. Looks like I’ll be doing a big chop soon!
You will for sure see your thick, long hair return once you big chop love! I wish you luck with it for sure 💕
Am still researching if I can comb them out and I was curious to know the aftermath experience and am so glad I came across your video. Thanks alot for sharing the things most people don't talk about. Keep up the good work 👌👌
Yessss love! It’s my pleasure. I’m glad you were able to get value from this. 🥰
I combed mine out recently. I only had them for 8 months. I retained most of my length, however my hair feels significantly thinner. I used to be able to get plump and juicy twist outs and now they are flatter. I am doing protein treatments and deep conditioners for the next couple weeks before my trim.
I started feb 7th its march 14th, been locked for 10 years. Wow this has been a journey sheesh 4 more locs to go cant wait to go to the salon !!
Oh my gosh! I remember like it was just yesterday. Enjoy this next season love.
I’ve had my locs for 13 years and I’m also currently combing them out due to scalp issues, postpartum and then all of a sudden falling pregnant again. It’s a journey and my body is killing me.
Wow, that’s a long time, what did you do with your hair in the meantime??

This is interesting because I still have locs and have unlocked my ends MANY times on many locs and the curls on my ends are beautiful and look very healthy. I would have to go to a professional to be sure. (I've had locs for 3 years.)
I’ve been searching EVERYWHERE for someone’s experience after combing out their locs. Ive noticed that most people who comb out their locs either reloc not long after or cut their hair. I’ve had locs for almost 2 years now and I’m debating whether or not to comb them out. I would hate to comb them out then have to cut my hair cause of damage when I could have just kept them in and continued the loc journey. It’s all such a risk!
But I do feel like my hair would be stronger and healthyish since I haven’t dyed it.
Yes it’s totally possible that you could have an entirely different experience! I say go for it and see. Just do what needs to be done IF you have any damage! ☺️
I just combed mine out last week, after five years of growth. I am currently using clove oil and Jamaican black castor oil. Also deep conditioning, protective styles at home👍🏼

@@VazhiiSingleton great to have you
Goodmorning I think it would not God's word instructs but the systems have not received
Had my locs for 2 years and it took two weeks to take them out! My hair is shedding soooo much… I’m going to wear crochets for a while and then do the big chop again! My hair is horrible 🥴 but you live and you learn lol
Very much so love!!! Thanks for sharing your experience 🤞🏾 & now that you know it’s only up from here sis!!! Take great care of yourself inside & out, your hair is destined to get back healthy when you do.
Please try the clove oil and Jamaican black castor oil, it helps a lot with the shedding and breakage
@@laurastraker7497 thank you!! I will
Heeey literally my story!! I was locked for two years, took two weeks to comb out now my hair won’t stop shedding. After the big chop did it stop?
Locs are beautiful but can be such a lie in the end when you’re taking them out. You comb out and loose most of the length and thin out. And takes forever to comb out! I combed mine out and I wish I cut them instead! Locs are nice but for me not worth it. I’m sure if I want then again I will just use extensions
They’re most definitely beautiful! I feel as if the hype around combing them out has created a false reality for those who no longer want their locs anymore. I’ve locked my hair up again since my first time & cut them when I didn’t want them anymore.
I tried to comb mine out and ended up quitting after about 30 mins on one lock
Yessss!! The process is really tedious and you have to be totally dedicated to follow through. Are you still loc’d or did you do a big chop?
Seem as though my hair is ALWAYS shedding it’s scary and a lot of it nomatter how much I comb it etc.. kind of trying to figure out why
I suggest talk about no sulfates fast hair growth shampoo.
My loc are thigh level, I still want the length though
I combed my locs out and I lost a lot of hair and my hair is way less thick. I have curly hair and it just seems like I can run my fingers through my hair and feel less hair than before I got my locs. Do you have any tips?
Big chop love. Honestly… When I realized that I needed to cut my hair down more after combing out my locs it made a huge difference in my hair’s health!
Try using the clove oil and Jamaican black castor oil , it thickens the hair and helps with shedding and breakage, you will also start seeing growth with consistency
Thank you for the video. I’m a little bit disappointed though. I’m half way detangling my son’s hair. He had locs almost 1 yr now. My plan was to detangle wash and loc again. He is only 3 yrs old and his hair gets really dirty from playing in sand. But his hair is so long already.
I can totally understand that love. Had you tried ACV washes on his locs before deciding to detangle them?
@@VazhiiSingleton hi, thanx for responding. Yes I tried, but being a child he doesn’t sit still long enough. But I will loc it again because it is more manageable for me.
@@cnyapule5860 Of course love. & I can totally understand!
You look SO BEAUTIFUL 😍😍
Thank you boo 🥰💕
Thank you, I appreciate your vblog
You are fabulously truthful, I love it!!!!!
Thank you so much love!!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it 🥰
I'm currently combing out.....its approaching a month.....I'm not able to comb every single day b/c it takes foreva :-(
Yes!! I know exactly what you mean love 🥺
Just combed mine out few days ago
Combed mine out took me almost a month was loc’d a year and 6 months
Yeah. I imagine if I ever think of getting rid of my locs, I would just chop them all off.
It’s a lot easier! I big chopped my twins’ locs and they flourished beautifully!
I’ve only had my “locs” for like 11 months now and they even fully locked. My dreads r still curly and the bottom of them is very soft. You think if I comb it out I’ll be fine? I took good care of it
All in all, everything is always no problem! Keep that in mind. But I do think they’ll be fine if you take proper care of them once you’ve combed them out. A trim would probably do you justice & deep conditioning at least 1x a week is key. (So sorry for the late response my love. I hope you’re doing well 🫶🏾)
I just combed mine out after a year on 7/30 and 8/1. It took me two days and two people. I did have a lot of shedding but do have some length. I need a trim, which is understandable. I will do a lot of rod sets, and no heat, and condition, condition, condition…good luck!!
Thank you for your vblog you are the greatest!!!!
Thanks for Sharing
I’m about to comb mine out. It took 2.5 hours to do one loc and half of if is dead 🥲🥲. What is your hair type? (Curl pattern)
A mixture of 4a & 4b sis. I recommend cutting it down to the new growth if you have trouble with the next few locs. It’ll be a waste of time & full of frustration my love.
Girl I'm glad you told me that a dread can be dead, I thought all my hair was falling out. And it took me 6 hours to comb out 4/3 inches of one lock
@VazhiiTv, I want to go back to bald faces as I'm a guy, so should I just cut my locks out
Are you meaning bald fades?? If so, definitely! It would be a waste of time to comb them all out just to get it cut anyway, ya know?
@@VazhiiSingleton yes, exactly bald fade
Omg I just combed mines out and I couldn’t do it 😩😩
How long did it take you??
