So it took almost three weeks but I picked out all 116 of my locs!
Today is the first day I have comb my hair in almost 7 years!
After a baby, three relationships, a few deaths, and a lot of joy and tears, I have decided to make a few changes in my life that I'm sure will all be positive. I hope all of you will continue the journey with me, from my loc sisters to my permies, because no matter what we do "to" ourselves, we are all still sistas on the common path of a more happy and fulfilled life!
Namaste

I just stumbled across your blog, but had to comment on how cute your hairs looks in the pic. Also, I love your art on your back!!
You and your hair are beautiful. Looks great. Could you share with us how you took them out? You're inspiring me to make change....
Beautiful!
AAAAAHAHHHHHHH OMG!!!!! You were right about having to sit down for this one! First off your hair is amazing either way, second KUDOS to you for embracing change! Third, the tattoo is CRAZY! I will be calling her for my annual ink up!
It looks beautiful! I must say I am a little bit shocked but that's just me! I love the tat also!
I'll still be around for the makeup & sewing!
Shalom & Blessings!
You look beautiful. I have had my locs for two years and have moments where I want to pick them out. I just don't know how. You should share your process for sure. And you have to tell us more about the tattoo also.

Whooooaaaa, first Fauryn, now you!! Oh ma gawsh, you look beautiful!! Combing them out must have taken patience of biblical proportions, lol. I can't even imagine.
Who cares if you perm, loc, or stay loose?? Just be beautiful you! I LOVED your message, especially: "no matter what we do TO ourselves, we are all still sisters on the common path of a more happy and fulfilled life!"
Couldn't have said it any better, myself! Love, peace, and beauty..

I'm so late with the happenings....you look absolutely beautiful with or without locs!
ok, I am just gonna say it, you look(ed) like a goddess with your locs, not everyone can rock locs like that!!! Now, with this hair,probably soon 2 b straight hair, u just look like everybody else, kinda like the difference between Halle Berry with her signature cut and her present look. U r still fierce though.
Your hair looks amazing... and that tatt is beyond fierce!
Congrats on moving forward
Your hair looks beautiful! I can't even imagine the type of patience it took to take all those locs down.
Your gorgeous either way, but this is amazing! and I luv the tat!
ok !. you look great your hard work paid off!. Now how didi you get those curls? you posted a pic of your fresh washed hair and it looks like my daughter's hair so i need to know what you didi so i can do it. Thanks
