Yes. I've been looking. So I've learned how to retwist because of you. I have so many questions. I'm in FL but out of town. Should I book a video consult?
Is it possible to comb out instant locs?
You can also use locs that have been cut off? I have wavy, semi thick hard. Super hard to loc. How long should I grown my hair, before adding my old hair, with your method?
I need some help😩
My hair is damaged and from color... its like a 2a 2b now🤦🏽♀️ can I still get instant locs?

Wow 4 years old and wanted locs so bad 😍 I really love that! I remember when I was younger my grandma put starter locs in my hair and my mother argued with her about it and took them out. She said they were ugly and she didn’t wanna have to learn how to maintain them. About 20 years later and I’m on my own loc journey 💕
I’m so glad you followed through with that ! ✨

In the very beginning of time God created all & it was good, His plan was to have Him & His creation live in utopia. the satan deceived God’s creation so that wouldn’t happen, we choose evil. Evil has its consequences, death & hell separation from God for eternity is the consequence for disobeying an everlasting God. God doesn’t want that for any of His creation so He sent His Son Jesus(God in the flesh) & Jesus lived the perfect life. Died the death as a criminal, & resurrected, all so that we could have eternal life if we have faith in His beautiful sacrifice. This is God’s plan!!!!
@@AlatOnDemand thank you! I absolutely love my locs 🥺 about to wash and retwist now lol

I've been letting my hair grow and just getting it braided every few weeks for the last year and half but I think I'm ready to start my loc journey now. Thank you sharing this video, it helped me decide that instant locs are the best method for me to get started with.
Shoutout to you! You are the reason I instant locd my hair. I’m like a 4a edges but 3a everywhere else. I knew it would be hell trying to loc my hair the natural way. This way is really helping to get the look I want. Just made 6 months today!!! Keep doing what you do!! 💛💛
Does the instant locs puff with time?
Glad I could help!
Do you still have the locs?
Her hair is so thick and full. I wish my hair was this dense.

I have 4c my hair is course! If I don’t comb it for 2 days it will tangle
Use peppermint essential oil with a carrier oil! May work for you ☺️
@@everydaymj4531 just plait it pretty big when u aren’t going anywhere or going to sleep and it should be fine. i also have 4c hair and i just throw 4 or 5 big old braids in my head (and they’re ugly) so it holds my detangle over night
Wait it’s a good think to have thick hair? Cause I do and I hate it, my shit get tangled up if I don’t take care of it for a day or 2
Just used my tools because I don't like to re twist often .I am 11 months into my locked journey and learning the do's and don't for my own hair. Took me a year to even purchase the crochet tools. Thanks for your videos and knowledge .
You are a True Queen Of Locs. I want to learn how to do this so bad, I have allot of clients and others who would LOVE this option. Pleeease do a in-depth tutorial🙏🏾. I have my Crotchet Set ready.

I’m so excited to start my loc journey. I have been considering it for some time now. You’re very knowledgeable and I love your videos
Me too
Listen Instant Locks are good but you can get a way more natural look if you twist ur hair and wait 2 weeks for the interlock that way they'll be more formed.
I miss seeing you and the family but I can only imagine how busy you are because you are so talented and hands are blessed. I'm here for it whenever and whatever you post!
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
You are truly amazing!! I’ve been watching you for years and you helped me starting my husbands locs. Now almost 5 months ago I started mine as well ❤️❤️ thank you for the amazing work and positive affirmations you speak throughout all of your videos!
Thank you for sharing 🥰🥰🥰
Very helpful. I wasn’t sure if instant locs went through the same process as traditional locs. I have instant locs and wasn’t sure if my hair would swell. Thank you.
did it swell?
@@zkrvo I believe they did, but at a slow rate. I had them for 5 months and combed them out. So I couldn’t tell you if they would fully swell.
Gorg as usual!
I'm 3 months into my microlocs journey and loving it!❤ ....Thank you do much for your videos/knowledge. Prior to starting my microlocs journey I reached out to you with some questions/guidance as I was debating between traditional locs and microlocs and you graciously responded and provided such information that I was able to make a decision best for me and seek out a loctician that I feel is a great match! Continued Blessings and Success in 2021!
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
Same day wash and retwist after doing the instant locs! You are the TRUTH! Great job !!
Beautifully done as always, Dxlyn. I look forward to a lower density hair client's instant loc video.

with instant locs like if you were to wash your hair does the hair shrink?? that’s my only concern because I have 4C hair and I’m assuming you start off with like a slightly stretched hair??
Answer?
Is instant lock crochet? I had got my hair crochet 2 months ago..I’m wondering should do another crochet or should I do some different?im Native American so that’s why I chose crochet first
Oh how I've missed you, I love watching you on social media but I miss you in these RUclips streets❤ I'm two months loced by the way
You got this!
I just subscribed and I'm about getting my loc done in my country.
I love your teaching and locking.
Beautiful work! I would have loved to have seen it from the root; the angle is a bit low. Thanks for sharing this!!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
I know I’m late to this video, but I want to thank you for posting this it honestly helped me start my journey. ❤️
Glad it was helpful!
You are so talented! What you have done on these clients is just incredible! I love the instant locs on their own hair...I love how it turns out!! ❤
Thank you so much!!
Question When Your Locks Get Puffy After Crocheted And Just Getting Them Done (beginner) Do They Eventually Get More Skinny Or Do They Stay Puffy Forever
they tighten up with time as they mature
Appreciate It
I’m glad I came across your channel I’ve been doing so much research on locs and I know I’m finally ready, I didn’t want to start with coils so this is great but I do have one problem I have a bald spot on the right middle in my hair from when I was younger do you have any suggestions on a pattern I could try to cover that area?
I got my loc extensions installed yesterday and i love them, but the stiffness is scaring me. How do i fix that?
Ok for someone who has thick hair, who wants to start locs and keep for about 5-10 years then comb out when it gets to a certain length- is it better to start with coils, 2 strand twists, or instant locs? I heard you can't comb instant locs out or you loose more hair if comb instant locs out later if you decide to.
If locs are started with this method for retwists can you palm roll or does it have to stay the with this method??
It's good to see you back! You are an awesome stylist and loctitation. I wish you were here in Houston...
Thank you! 😊
how many locs should you consider getting ? and what do you think is better instant locs or starting from the beginning?
I just got my instant locs, they are a little stiff can I wash them already or do I have to wait a while?
Shi idk
I washed mine one week after and hair is coming out
It looks crazy right now
I just did my instant locs, and I’m only done one side it’s not as much locs as I wanted but I still like it, they seem a little stiff and I just want to know if I can automatically wash them when I’m done? Please reach back quick if you can I just want to know, great video btw✊🏾😁
If you did them correctly and they are nice and mature and tight then you should be able to wash them right after, you should expect a bit of frizz after you wash but make sure not to use conditioner at all no matter your hair type, and dont worry about stiffness they will become more free over time, you can wear a durag when you sleep to avoid frizz and to help them lay down, or you can do a retwist or you can simply wait for a bit of new growth to help them be a bit more free 🙌🏼😃

U too up next lemme dm on insta
@@blackpanther2992 my Insta is sean.milbourne
@@zorri2338 hey I washed mine and hair is coming out, it looks crazy and I don’t know what to do
ITA with your point about the crochet needle size making a big difference in creating Instant Locs. Your work is brilliant ❤️❤️❤️.
Question. I started with comb coils and my hair is low density and fine. Can I go in and do instant loc or is it too late?
God Bless everybody reading this God Loves y’all🙌🏽✝️❤️🙏🏽 God Bless you and your Family and make sure to give Glory to Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and put your Trust, Faith, and Love into him and believe Jesus Christ is Lord and is the Son of Our Most High God🙌🏽❤️Jesus came and Died for all the sin of man and whoever believes in Jesus Christ will be Saved🙌🏽❤️✝️
wait where are the lower density hair examples?? I have 4b/c hair mostly 4b , Bra strap length hair… and i want nice fully not too short locs… its hard finding inspiration because mostly everyone has thick hair
In 5 months 🔒. I stateted with comb coils but they seem to come loose in the new growth when i wash. I shucked that thing through my locs 😅 a bunch of times but not sure i did it right but it seemed to help. Lol im up here looking at techniques!! 😂😂
I'm learning how to do locs by watching your videos..💞 I actually believe it's faster by using the 2/3 pronged tool. I'm planning to do the locs for my daughter...😊💕💕 Love watching your technique...
So right after you do the locs it's best to wash it? I really would like to know the very next process you should do for instant locs right after you create the locs. ♥️
How can I book an appointment with you?! 😩 I’m 6 months in and I’m thinking about combing them out. This is exactly the size I wanted. The back and left side of my hair was parted wider than the right side. I’m only just now realizing, now that my locs started to form. One side looks full while the back and other side looks spaced out. Idk wether to comb them all out and start over or just comb the bigger ones out and get those instant loc’d and divided into twos.
*after watching this I want to comb them all out and get instant locs 😍
Feel free to book on our booking site: orlando-104363.square.site/
That's a great job, and nice size locs!! Where are you located.
Are you supposed to twist them as new growth comes in or do you have to always use the needle? My son wants his done but I'm wondering if he can maintain them on his own to some degree.
I love your method. I am thinking of locking my hair that is all natural. My texture is like a 3c or 4b I think🤷🏾♀️. I do have the same needle you have and did try it on my son who already have locs and love the look. Great video
Thank you for sharing🥰🥰🥰
How long does this process takes and how much should one generally charge?
Is there a method to do this. It just seems like the hair is being stabbed. I want to try this on my locs
Hello, when I started to make my dreads I used gel, as they were taking a while to get I crocheted it, but my dreads were very thin, while when I touched up with gel they were thicker, I would like to know if after crocheting the dreads will come back to get thick, please answer me.
Can you do this on yourself. I started my locs 2 months ago and I would rather do this. I don’t have enough money to go to someone.
So IF she wanted to take out her locs, would she have to cut her hair or would she be able to comb them out?
please, whats the basics behind using the needle? can you pls do a tutorial that shows how it pulls the hair?
I live in Miami but I am going to drive to Tampa to get my hair done.
We'll be more than happy to help you 🥰🥰🥰
I love this. Well done sis.
What is the name of the instrument you are using?
It is scarce in Nigeria market.
Triple crochet needle
How long should your hair be before getting instant locs?
Hi, I wanted to know; when you was your hair, do you ret-twist and then do the instant loc once it dries or instant loc, wash and then re-twist?
I wish I knew about instant loc before this, it would have been perfect for me. It's too late now, I got extensions twisted in, and can not wait to get them removed or cut. Thank you for sharing
I wish I understood if your left hand is rolling the hair and your just push the hook in and out. Is it going through on the other side? Thank you. Also it was chopped of and hard to see how you started it.
That's what she s doing.
Is there any reason when I got my instant locs, my hair shrank to 3X shorter than what it was? My hair was very thick too. It was 16 inches on the top, and in the back maybe 11-12 inches. It literally looks like I have no hair. I don’t understand. Lol
I've just had instant locs done today and they're all rigid and sticking outwards like a hedgehog. Does anyone know how long it takes for them to fall down and look natural because I feel so ugly right now :|
Normally they loosen up within a couple of days.
Oh my goodness I really truly wish you can do my hair Instant Locs on my Afro but I am located in Spring Texas.
Thank you for watching 🥰🥰🥰
@@DXlocs You very welcome
do you recommend having the client come with their hair blown out?
How small can you go if you're using the instant loc method? I ask because in the Caribbean I was told that I can't have 80 locks!
Question. Will this work for relaxed hair? In Tampa so I'm close to you and want to know
Dear where can I found you.... I m in UK 😭😭😭😭 help with my locks
idk if u said it but could u get instant locks just as a style that can be taken out?? or are they actually locs?
Should I get my dreads tightened from the roots with the interlocking tool because my dreads are loose from the roots
that's going to happen as your hair grows. you can find any method for upkeep, just dont do it too often or else the tension will make your hair weak
Those look amazing I'm six months into my locs but it feels like they aren't growing do you have any tips that can help I would appreciate it thank you.
One thing I know for sure .. drink lots of water... our hair is like the plant that grows from our body. There are other tips but yeah this is key bc what we eat can effect growth and stress
@@Tina52516 oh thank you I'll do that
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
Great video DXLYN! Do you interlock the roots or just twist them by hand?
Wish i can find someone who can do this in the UK this is beautiful

Got instant locs, took 6 hours to complete. The person who did it used 2 prong crochet needle. Before I had starter locs using back comb method. It was horrible, the loctician didnt do good. My instant locs are doing great though
Thanks for sharing!!
What's the name of the tool you're using for the locs please?
Amazing video! It’s so comforting to know you know what you’re doing 🙏🏽🔥 I love your method! Xxx
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
Is there a video of you actually showing how you do this from root to end? Cause this video isn’t really showing that
I want locs but I rather instant loc my hair is about that length the individual that is supposed to do it told me it would be better for two strand twist because the instant loc will be really short but it's not in your video really which I could have u do my hair😣
WAityou said .5 is for small and then u said .5 for large too I’m confused
Can instant locs still swell? And stay thick as they grow?
Hello I just purchased your locs an I was wondering if you make them 10 inches or 8 inches because I was really hoping it was 10
QUESTION , DO YOU COMMERCIAL LOCTICIANS REALLY USE THESE LOC TOOLS ? OR IN REALITY YOU USE DREADLOCK MACHINES ?
Hey I got a question I have 2 strand twist and I want to loc them in that method when I wash my hair should I undo the twist of just wash and retwist what became unraveled I rather not completely unravel my hair please advise thank you!
You’re not mentioning what size of the crotchet ? Is it 0.05 or 0.75 🤷🏽♀️
Good morning,, I just got loc extension, and they keep sliding off,,,, The Young lady that’s doing my hair,, said I have to keep them in a style because she put them in so they would slide off 😫😫is this true are they supposed to slide off and do I have to keep them in a style,,,
I have 2 strand twist starter locs for 7 weeks but they are coming loose. Can I do this on my starter twists so they can stop coming loose?
Great video! These Locs goddesses are absolutely stunning. You did really good with them.
Thank you so much!!
Missed hearing your voice! Welcome back ♥
what hair type is the woman on the chair because mines is just like her's and I just wanted to because some people say im 4c and others say im like 4a? And I loved the video
How many inches does your hair have to be to do the loc extensions?
At least 3 inches
Hello.I just had instant locs, the loctician told me to come after 1 month to sting the hair again. Is it necessary to get the second stinging of the strands? I don’t really like of low volume my locs look like
does this break your hair alot cuz i followed the video and got a lot of breakage
How many packs of hair do u need to get loc extensions?
Can you twist the end, the fuzzy part to make them more flat after this or that will mess up the locs?
Your work is so beautiful! Do you ever come to NY?
Here’s to hoping. 🙏🏾☺️
Maybe one day!
If I have 3a hair and instant loc do I wash it after I’m done locking it?
Hi, I was just wondering, is it at all possible to take instant locs out, like lose it back to an afro? If it is possible what's the longest I can have it in before taking it out?
Hi I’d like to know can these be undone : meaning taken down with a comb .
Are the teeth marks Facing up? When crocheting
I’ll be traveling from GA to see you!!
How long did it take you to finish the hair style?
Can instant locs be combed out?
Can this be done on relaxed hair and still come out thick n full?
Can you do this with the new growth in your already loc'd hair?
Hey I’m interested to know how long does it take you to do it?
