  • Hey baes! In today's video I'll be giving an update on my locs. It's been a year since I stopped interlocking my locs and I've noticed a difference in the shape and formation of my locs since I stopped interlocking and began retwisting last summer. In this video I'll share my experience and discuss if I miss interlocking. I’ll also provide a close up of my locs where you can see the difference between my interlocked locs vs the retwisted locs!
    Be sure to check out the previous video linked below where I detail exactly why I stopped interlocking and provide pros & cons to it.

    You’re very well spoken. I just started exactly 5 weeks ago and it always good to see loc videos and learn from everyone online. Thanks for the info! ❤

    This was so encouraging, I just did my first retwist (last night) after deciding not to interlock anymore. Perfect timing!

    Thanks for the video. I am only about five and a half months into my loc journey and I have a question, do you have any suggestion on how to keep my locs in the back from unraveling? I tried braiding them and they still come undone, should I try interlocking just that last row?

    Hi, so I’m exactly one year loced, and I still feel my hair isn’t as thick as I want it to be. I have been interlocking my hair once every four months and I thought my hair would be thick but sadly it’s not, it’s still on the think side. Do you think it’s too late to get my locs thick at this point? I want to try retwisting instead of interlocking and I’m hoping it will get thick I hope it’s not too late cause I’m scared they’ll remain think since I’m already a year in.

    Heyy, I was told that by interlocking it will be more difficult (or impossible) to eventually comb the locs out in future, is this true?🥰

    • @Thecatherinealexandra
      @Thecatherinealexandra  3 дня назад

      @@awathiaw03 I would think so, the interlocking basically creates a braid like knot in your loc. I can’t imagine that being easy to comb out!

    Hi, I did my first interlock 6 days ago and they are skinnier now,will they puff back up?
    I’m 2 months into my journey and started with two strand twists.

      Yes they’ll puff up-you can check out my visual loc journey here:

      @@Thecatherinealexandrahi I’ve interlocked once and don’t plan to do it again because it has a weird feeling now and I heard it gives a braided pattern. I also don’t want them to be skinny.will they be fuller/thicker if I don’t interlock again?

      @@Finevamp your locs will be fine. I interlocked mine about 4 times and as you can see my hair thickened up regardless!
