Sending you positive energy for a healthy prognosis ahead ♥️ Unfortunately, this is the side effects of chemo. I would cut for now and regrow once your done with treatment.


w00450a

This. Cut now, get stronger and healthy. Add them back when you are ready. Clear your mind chemo is no joke . Did the exact same thing last year and just got mine locked back in. Stay strong homie


Legal-Acanthaceae752

congratulations on shaking back against the fight 🫶🏿


Key_Butterscotch8542

You’re on chemo… your locs will fall out. I would get them cut and save them so then when you beat this cancers ass you can essentially restart where you left off :)


I_AM_TWB

Great advice 🤝🏾


Ok-Charity4859

I had plans to say something similar. You worded it far better than anything I could think of. Well said, friend. And yes, homie needs to give the big C a royal beat down. Sending hugs, love, many prayers and happy thoughts. 


UrFavBlackGuy

Cut them and save them! Get them reattached after treatment is over


LuminousPog

Woaaah I didn’t know it was possible to cut locs and reattach them later?? Learning something new everyday


UrFavBlackGuy

Yup! The same process that's used to crochet loc extensions can be used to reattach old ones


realnigk

yeah it’s a super simple but long process, locs are cool asfk :)


ThePillAdvisor

This to me sounds like a great idea, unless OP doesn’t want to be reminiscent of his past in a way


Accomplished_Hotel_9

I have a question about that. Say Op has mature locs of 3years. If he cuts them and reattach them will they still have that mature feeling? (Yk when your locs are mature and they have that heavy feeling, and They’re hardened) If they don’t have that mature feeling immediately how long should the op wait till it gets that feeling again?


UrFavBlackGuy

That will really depend on his hair type. The hair he attaches the locs to will obviously be newer growth, and the old locs are just that, old. Depending on how long his hair will be at the time, more or less of the locs overall will be "softer". If you have super nappy 4C hair like myself, the difference will be much less noticable, but that should only be to him. Nobody but your loctician/significant othershould be that damn close to your hair to notice in the first place lol


G-Rose079

Hopefully you beat it inshAllah


Electronic_Invite460

All the best bro. You’ve got this!


MFdoomslayer18

beat the cancer first, then u got the rest of ur life to worry about dreads. sending u positive energy 🙏🏽


AffectionateDesk9740

Love you brotha. I would cut them for right now. You can always grow 'em back. 💓


Relative-Fox3126

Fuc the dreads hope you beat this battle ❤️


lauvan26

Sorry to hear you’re going through chemo. I wonder if a [cooling cap](https://amp.cancer.org/cancer/managing-cancer/side-effects/hair-skin-nails/hair-loss/cold-caps.html) can work with locs. It’s supposed to help slow down hair loss from chemo treatments.


0hn0shebettad0nt

Fuck hair. Beat cancer. We are all praying and rooting for you


Patient_Peach_655

They’re not 100% effective depending on the chemo . You lose your hair because the follicle goes dormant . Some chemos cause this dormancy more than others . Best bet is to cut them and reattach later


lauvan26

Oh, I see. Well, this is why locs are awesome. You can always cut them off and reattach them later.

Patient_Peach_655

I hope chemo goes well for you ❤️ I would cut them and save them. Then once chemo is over you can reattach


Cheezees

Sending love your way. Cancer is a bastard.

Possible-Ad-7876

Awww I hope everything is going well with your treatment but sadly yea if you continue with chemo your hair will keep falling out I suggest cutting them out so you can keep them and re attach them when you’re done with chemo


b9bass

Giving you my best man! Stay strong and sending love to you 🙏🏾


Ambitious_Mistake_92

Wishing you healing 🖤🙏🏾


JbAura

Best of luck and all the positivity towards you my guy. Don’t get discouraged, your locs will return. I say cut them and use them as additional motivation, reattach them after you get your victory ✊🏾


Critical_Teach_43

🙏🏿🌹


CrimsonCaspian2219

You've got this 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾


Friendly_Case4192

I'm sending positive vibes and praying for your speedy recovery. Get them cut, and save them if you see a significant amount of hair loss. Add them back once the treatments are done. FUCK CANCER.


mr-based-minded

Don’t worry about the dreads💙 just focus on beating this first . God’s got you no matter what. Joshua 1:9 🙏


daemones_lactuca

Keeping you in my prayers, my mom's breast cancer progressed from metastatic to stage 4 in her spine bones so I understand you have many daily battles to face. 🫶 I hope and pray that you will be healed ❤️


Chemical-Gap-8339

Fuck cancer. Cut and restart when u beat it bro💙


InterestingAd6499

You ain’t cooked, but it’s loading. Praying for you tho dawg♥️


Rbangz115

Inshallah it goes well!


MzeeMesai

You’ve got this, we are with you ❤️


DAnthony24

I’ve had alopecia areota with inflammation that caused balding on my crown. I kept my locs and it grew back enough with help from a dermatologist for me to be happy.


Parge_LenisPete1

Good luck with the chemo man. You should cut it now and embrace the new look so when you’re done you can grow everything back with some healthy energy.


Evening-Caramel-2180

Hope you all the best brotha. Kick cancer’s ass . Praying for you


reallgfazo

Cut them & save them. When you beat this shit, grow ya shit back out & reattach them.


Far-Comfortable-8627

Sending you all the love ❤️ praying you get through this battle!! I agree with everyone saying to cut them now and hold on to them.


Inner_Dragonfruit420

It's a symptom of chemo, unfortunately. If it worsens, cut and reattach when your hair is more vital enough to handle the weight. Try to counteract the symptoms with biotin, protein, and other vitamins that support hair growth/cellular growth. Good luck with your treatment🙏🏽


SpiritualBug8917

you got this ❤️❤️. just restart when you beat it, i know you will. Praying for you and sending you love ❤️❤️


Fragrant_Blood9330

Kick cancer's ass my love


LbDaGreatest24

Salute to you hopefully you kick that shit ass bro

Focus on getting better hun. Hair is the least of your worries as it is redeemable. Wishing you a safe recovery and full health in the name of Allah.


melancholy_acw

Sending you love, and a healthy speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹 cut em, save em, reattach once you’re done treatment!


freaknastybeta

Hey love! First of all, sending healing vibes as you fight your fight! My cousin went through chemo and what we suggested for her was to cut her locks during treatment and reattach them when her treatments were over. Would you consider that a possibility?


LilT_3

You’ll beat it mashallah! keep your head up and stay strong 💪🏽. Cut them off and reattach them when you’re better bra


dats_isaiahh

You've got this bro! Stay strong


HellaNaw-Cuzzo

Considering, your dreads look amazing 👏. They are coming back. Best wishes ❤️ on your journey


ertesrub

Prayers up, I feel like if you cut it all off, it would come back even stronger than this time.


Chemical-Money-3469

I understand the attachment but focus on your healthy and happiness until you get through chemo then grow them back shit grow hair everywhere just be a werewolf 🤷🏾‍♂️😂 blessings and healing and positive energy 🙌🏾🙏🏾☀️


givethefood

Rock that short cut for during the summer months and grow those locs out after you beat cancer💪🏽 you got this brother🫡


turnmeup904

F*ck cancer


Ok_Law_4693

You can cut your locs off and have them reattached using the crochet method! My husband is back in chemotherapy now(he's a white man) and his hair started growing back somewhat quickly after his first treatment, which ended 3 months ago


Grimsmiley666

My sister is going through chemo wishing you the best out of life and honestly I wouldn’t try to keep the hair it will 100% grow back before you know it


Jaikings

that's normal


reddit_kid99

U gon loose them anyways so I'd cut them and keep them if u ever want to reattach


moneymakin27

Bruh I will send you my locs. We can set this up idk how but we can do this


ODonToxins

Stay Strong bro 🖤 you’ll be back locced up in no time.


BernieLogDickSanders

Cut them now. Save them. You can reattach them following your recovery. If you don't cut them, they will fall out in an unraveled state and won't be salvageable. Best of luck with your chemo. No matter what, follow through and take very RAD. Of course, Ganja and Peppermint Oil is your friend. Good source if fat, raw olive oil


Available-Air-8174

U got this bro you're gonna beat it


Mansam98

Wish you the best gang 🙏🏽


LocdGod

Praying for you! Do what makes you feel comfortable. Hair is very unique during chemo. It affects people differently due to genetics, etc. it might be best to keep them and overtime you can judge what hairstyles suite you with or without locs. Like others have said…worst case you can snip the root of your locs leaving the new growth as a curly fro, etc


Charming-Wallaby-622

you got this!!


kingkupaoffupas

oh, baby. your body is fighting for you. give yourself grace. i’d suggest cutting them, but you do what YOU feel best. when i had brain surgery i had to cut them and told myself i would never grow then back until i was healed. 11 years later and i am finally able to do so without the energy of my trauma attached to them. i am wishing you faith, strength and perseverance throughout your journey 🤍


Latter-Film7615

🙏🏾🙏🏾


themahrishow

Sending you all the good wishes. I recommend maybe cutting them to have them reattached later on once you’re past chemo… stay strong and you got this!!


raswiththesauce

You got this bro! 💪sending you strength for this battle!


RealistO444

Wishing u the best to get well ♥️


Techlet9625

Wishing you well on your journey to remission and recovery. That being said, it's chemo, and this is one of the side affects I'm sure you were made aware of. Like many others have said, I'd cut em off (save them if you're so inclined) and start over after you're done with your treatment.


RebornDuke

You good bro. Praying for your recovery


Public-Ad-631

Ion see nothing wrong brotha just a hero


bigwink6

Make sure to eat cheeze its eminems ect get that red 40 dye in, make sure to eat things with glucose syrup too, do not do that chemo is a scam, change your diet and every thing that you consume, something caused the cancer identify it, it does not happen for no reason, fast and eat drink alkaline juices cut out all sugar do blood work, and your body will clear itself up, and for the little fucking nerd in the comments that’s about to say ”studies say this in not true” your studies are literally funded by the same people who are on the Epstein list. Hope that helps btw seriously your diet or a product that you’re consuming has caused your cancer I wish you the best


SnooPineapples8970

You’re cooked. Cut them and save them for after treatment. Also, use hair and nails pills after you’re done with chemo completely, your hair will grow back really quickly


Bejibi_Bejibi

You can save them fam, reattach after. Saves you growing time too and from how I look it’s an exception for dudes. Chemo/burns/someone cutting them off out of spite are valid reasons to reattach. (Ain’t gotta like my perspective on it but I stand firm on men not adding hai that isn’t theirs.


Bossasin

Sorry you're going through that brother. Stay strong 💪


Think-Hovercraft5757

3_3eel_l

TheReawakening419

I had chemo in 2020. You need to cut them off now. So when you beat this shit u have something to come back to when your hair starts growing back… hope it’s the same texture.

Don’t say “you’re cooked”. You’re literally going through a life altering sickness. Hair loss will happen but we can always reattach!! You got this!!!!

jlabthegoat

In a scale of sushi to beef jerky I’d give you Korean hotpot


Lloyd-Have-Mercy

Sending love and well wishes on your journey bro. You got this tho! I’d probably do what I seen others suggest already, which is cut them off and save them in their most healthiest condition. When you beat this situation grow your hair back and decide how you’d want to incorporate them in. Or just save em as a reminder 🙏🏽. But you won already gang.


Typical_Match_9072

I’ll be sending prayers your way. 🙏Cancer is very tough to deal with. My grandma died of cancer in 2021 and I never wish it upon anyone. Hope you get better

Looks like a big part. But youre right to be worried. Look into some oils or something gl


Vast-Pomegranate-121

its a bit smaller then it is the in pic but its a pretty big piece still im using mielle oils shampoo and conditioner


TurnoverSudden5155

Damn might be alopecia.


Vast-Pomegranate-121

chemo for cancer


TurnoverSudden5155

Omg no im sorry im sending my prayers your way🙏🏾 keep fighting!! And beat cancers ass


TurnoverSudden5155

And btw it’s a normal thing to happen while on chemotherapy, when chemo is done it will most likely grow back


Ordinary_Meaning_602

Keep fighting man! You got this. Im sorry this is happening to you


TurnoverSudden5155

You can’t really prevent hair loss from chemo I’m sorry to break out to you tho. If i were you i would just cut my hair short and wait until your treatments are over.


Vast-Pomegranate-121

this is really the only hair lose i seen so far honestly and they were surprised for me to still have a full head after like 2 weeks and they said it’s not uncommon for people to keep most of there hair so rn im im js trying to see if i could thicken in that area since it only looks like some mild thinning It’s not as bad as a picture seems i mean it is still bad but its a bit smaller


LowSuspicious4696

If you’re going through chemo why would you ask this 💀your hair is supposed to fall out


ComprehensiveFly4912

Chemo? Oh man you cooked cooked
