    I instant locked all of my micro loc’s so that I wouldn’t have to worry about loc bunching or unraveling at all. My loc’s appear fully mature but are getting tighter and no shrinkage which allows me to see all of the growth after I interlock the roots.
    Your demonstration was very effective and keep up the good work!🎉

      Hey, a quick question : would you consider instantlocking your roots to retightening them ? I was wondering if it could be a good alternative to interlocking... Thank you !

      @@Malzaaaa instant locking is perfect for the installation but I prefer to interlock the new growth with a 2, 3 or 4 point rotation with the 4 being the most effective at controlling the girth of the loc. You can determine the number of rotations/tension are most comfortable for you.
      Instant locking must be done leaving an inch from the root to prevent pulling out hairs from the scalp.

    I am 18 months Locd and had my first hair wash without braiding and banding and it felt GREAT! I have bunching and have been using the crochet method. It works!

    Thank you. I’m 18 months sisterlocked and I’m not loving my swollen fat ends in my hair. This will be my last effort to fix my issues before I resort to cutting them off. This method looks doable. Thanks for posting.

  • @jessicadalton4149
    @jessicadalton4149 3 месяца назад

    I’ve tried this on some of my thinnest locs, but for the ones that I can fix using loc extensions, I cut the end where the budding is too thick and I just attach the loc extension right where the hair unravels. Both methods work for me.. again, on my thinnest locs I don’t add the extension only because I don’t want to add that weight on an already thinning loc. I love the loc tools though. It really works!

    Question: do I always go to the end of my loc when correcting the bunching? Will it not kind of unravel the ends if I still have loose ends?

    The locs are loc'sing❤ This video is so encouraging for me. I have twists interlocked. I'm 2.5 months and struggling with the frizz, shrinkage (it's been a lot compared to how it started on blow dried hair😩) and bunching. I often want to give up as it's at that awkward stage (I hate the phrase 'ugly stage').
    How long did it take for your hair to 'drop' and shrink less?

      The tool is design to “help” start the locing process. For instance when people are getting instant locs attached their natural hair isn’t locked. It is helping me to fix bunching in areas of my loc

      If you take loose and retwist you may remove the needed shed hair that helps lock your hair. Also, you will keep delaying your locking process

      Considering that the concept process of lock is done with sheading hair actually ripping helps if it is not overdone.

      @@Keepinitreal4unowNo, ripping the hair is not what you want to do. You are pulling and pushing the hair strands together in order for them to tangle together and form the shape of your loc’s and palm-role to create the cylinder shape.

    @charleneherrera1683 2 года назад +3

    Bunching is part of the locing process. The locs are wanting to mature and the bunching and swelling is part of the Journey. Those of us who have microlocs try to tame our locs into a more polished look that resembles microbraids. Thats not Bad necessarily.
