I told my locs that I would never cut them again. But now I want to. <br /><br />The point is you just have to do it. I am telling myself the same thing. Just go for it. Sure you will miss what you had but you will love what you got. They are locs!! They are gonna be fab no matter what.K.

Cut shorter and then decide if she wants to completely cut them.EmberRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05591040345013470729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2863545505587940137.post-10102339237334704402010-08-18T18:39:18.523-04:002010-08-18T18:39:18.523-04:00Not that my locs are anywhere near the length I wa...Not that my locs are anywhere near the length I want them to be yet, I know what she's going through to some degree. I've felt (at least once a week) like getting a comb and picking them apart .... ok, I have done that to a couple of them, but afterwards can never keep going.<br /><br />I think this sister should do the chop if that is what she wants to do. We have spent so much time obsessing about our hair that once we achieve the length we want (and again, I have not yet - 5 months loc'ed), we forget that it's JUST HAIR.<br /><br />I think once you realize that you can grow it, the mental stress of "growing it" becomes less of a catalyst for our actions. If homegirl wants a different style, by all means go for it. She can always loc again, can grow again, and I'm sure that over the years she has learned to appreciate what flows from her scalp and takes care of it better than she ever did. <br /><br />Off my soapbox now...going to the mirror to obsess over my hair! :PTask Master in Progresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04031856167837609194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2863545505587940137.post-67279756333563324582010-08-18T18:22:33.139-04:002010-08-18T18:22:33.139-04:00I think she should cut them shorter before cutting...I think she should cut them shorter before cutting them all off. Almost 4 years in I went through that, my locs were long and heavy. I did a short cut, dyed them black when they were red and felt renewed! 4 years after that it happened again... they were long all over again and hot and heavy so in June I chopped them again in a tilt and I feel better about them. This time for me I was going through wanting to cut them all off... but I'm glad I didn't I would be lost with out themUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11235861313768006171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2863545505587940137.post-34787754858898528772010-08-18T18:07:19.126-04:002010-08-18T18:07:19.126-04:00Hello, i think she should just cut it short first,...Hello, i think she should just cut it short first, like most people are saying, and if she dnt like it stll, well then, chop.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18267070109097887698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2863545505587940137.post-8175604566246296542010-08-18T17:52:44.185-04:002010-08-18T17:52:44.185-04:00My locs are past my waist and I sometimes feel lik...My locs are past my waist and I sometimes feel like this young sister.

If she feels like she wants a new change in life, then getting a hair cut is really sometimes the best medicine.NESSessaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15457503537265187149noreply@blogger.com
