Swear I’m on YT every week looking for new ways to attach extensions and this by far is my favorite. When i was locd in i abided my interlocking. Since cutting my locs I’ve been so impatient with the growing process and wasn’t too keen on the thought of having my natural hair jabbed with a crochet needle to add extensions. Im in love with this ❤️
@@vanessajohn7918 I used this method to install my own. On the locs that I had to redo I did find that it can be undone but it took ALOT of patience. Will say though, far less breakage uninstalling these vs the typical crochet method.
Between this video and the one showing how to make these extensions, I done seen all I needed to see. I’m gone go ahead and add some length to my micro locsss! Thank ya ❤
New subbie!!!! You are truly gifted. I've tired with the thought of locs for 2 years not wanting to go through the " ugly stage". I keep my hair in protective styles (mainly faux locs) more often than not. You are truly gifted. Thank you for a new skill🥰
I followed your last video and made my micro locs I am so glad you made this because so many people don’t explain the process, now I know how I can attach the hair. This is greatly appreciated 🙏🏽
Omg! Listen you have just save me. I recently got Loc extensions done. Didn’t like them like I thought I would and I took them out. Now… I’ve had micro locs in the past and I realized that I prefer that look but I didn’t want to start short. I recently purchased bulk hair to create micolocs so I’m going to try your micro Loc creation method and the attachment method. I’m excited now!! So glad I can across your helpful videos!
I’ve been wanting to loc my hair for years now, have just been doing some research. And I couldn’t find the best installation for my type of hair. And I love how informative you are. And was curious as to which type of install method would work on my hair type?It’s curly. I’m Hispanic.
Girrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl!!!! Thank you. I tried 7 ENTIRE TIMES with loc installation but couldn't get past a year and a half because my hair was looking crazy and I've though about doing my own exstensions before BUT I'm no good with a crochet hook. I recently permed my beautiful natural hair mainly out of loc frustration and I've been thinking about how to extend my own locs...this is RIGHT UP MY ALLEY!!!!!! I'm growing out my natural hair....thank you!!!!
it looks wonderful i have sisterlocs n this is great work but your nails looks so healthy n clean im a nail woman 😂 i pay attention to ppl n their nails when they are doing others hair
If you’re making interlocks from scratch how do you know how much hair to use? For example, if a client has fine hair or low density hair, will the extensions that you’re making be the same as your parting or less, especially if your making the loc extensions prior to installation? In other words how to make the parting space to loc extension ratio equal ensuring looking term results overtime.
@@fromanaturalspointofview4963 good question. It’s something I haven’t mastered but you would ask them what size they want, you’ll make the part size to account for the extension but I would make the part size slightly bigger than the loc extensions to account for swelling then it shrinking again.
It could! You have to braid down your natural hair then you can crochet the extensions ends at the root, then interlock the rest of the way. I may have more recent videos explaining
Have you considered back combing the natural hair to create bulk? Just where the extension will connect? I do love her hair. It is beautiful and you did beautiful work.
@@LeyLocs Thank you. Sorry for all the questions. Lost my locs due to chemo. Trying to get my look back with no professional help (except asking questions).
Thank you for this video. If you already have microlocs and want to extend, please how do you attach the extensions onto the hair? Would it be to attach it close to the end and interlock? Or would method 2 be better and then wrap the hair? They are 2 year mature microlocs. Please help.
Attached to the ends of the hair can work if the ends are still loose but with mature locs method number 2 will be better unless you comb out about an inch of your locs 💕
Hey I just wanted you to know spreading knowledge, try using yarn needles. I like the plastic ones cause it’s flexible and I was able to touch my scalp , it tight but it doesn’t hurt! Also I feel a major difference with doing the hair! It kind of flies by! I used to use the same tool as you in this videos, (a rose gold gal ✨) big difference! I hope this was helpful! Also maybe get a looping tool too! Cause sometimes it’s hard to push the hair through sometimes!
Quick question: is there any reason why you use a 2 point rotation versus a 3 or 4? I'm always curious as to which rotation is best...does it depend on hair texture maybe?
Very nice! Do you work with only the afro kinky hair? I'm in the market for some lisa bonet boho perm. extensions but most stylists only use the Kinky hair
Because they are both interlocked, there’s a smooth transition into the extensions. Both her hair and the extensions will mature and look like naturally grown locs
I wish I'd seen this when I put my extensions in the first time😩 I was tryna think of 100 different ways to do it the second time and gave up. Now I find you on here and you made them AND installed them by interlocking 🤯 now my hair is relaxed 🤦🏽♀️ will this still work on relaxed hair?
I’ve been trying the insta lock method for my extensions and it’s been going horribly. How long would someone have to go without washing with this method
I was working on my own hair and doing micros, but my husband was diagnosed and I took them out. I had a young lady do my hair and she “said” they would be micros. The parts are beautiful!! I asked her to add spring twist hair to it to give it a little length. She gave me a cute style, but these are simply spring twist and in no way are they micros. They are also slipping after two weeks. Can I divide these at the parts and do the micros? I had been doing the interlocking method prior to taking them down and having this young lady do them
This was a good video. Question: if I wanted to keep these in for a shorter period of time, and I have kinkier hair, would you recommend the second method minus the interlocking of my real hair?
Girl this method is amazing!! I’m going to try this this weekend with some premade locs from Amazon! Wish me luck 😬 Since this method seems less straining on your hands and fingers will you start doing extensions again?
Thank you for sharing this! Can you please show us how to attach Afro kinky bulk hair to loose natural hair and form it into an instant loc?? Lol I hope that made sense!
@@LeyLocs okay one more question. I have started braid locs, can I wrap that hair around my braid to give it the “loc look” before my hair actually starts to loc?
Is there a reason why you choose not to braid the extension closer to the scalp and then do 2-3 interlocks to tighten the roots? Thanks in advance and I’m looking forward to ordering locs from you! ❤️
Hey! I do suggest that for looser curl patterns but the blend is better closer towards the ends of the hair since the extensions is tightly interlocked already. Like you can’t use a crochet needle to mesh the hair together. Hope that makes sense
@@LeyLocs u just gave me hope 😊😊😊that method is so neat looking. So with my locs would you suggest I start at the bottom just as on hair that isn’t loc’d
I was asking if u did the 2 pt rotation only on the client in the video. I went back and listened to the video n u did say it was a 2 point rotation. At the time I watched the video I was n a car with music so audio was down. Lol I have very soft hair like cotton n wondering which rotation I should use. Also where did ubpurchase afo kinky hair? I ne3d blonde
This is the best video and installation I have seen hands down.
Thank youuuu
How far can you place the extention up to your hair before you start interlocing? I hope I said that correctly.
@@Vanessa-pq6so I say at least 2-3 inches but check out some of my later videos. I improved the method a lot

I absolutely love this method , however I would like to know would this method work for someone who has short hair maybe about 2-3 inches long ?
It could! You have to braid down your natural hair then you can crochet the extensions ends at the root, then interlock the rest of the way. I may have more recent videos explaining

Have you considered back combing the natural hair to create bulk? Just where the extension will connect? I do love her hair. It is beautiful and you did beautiful work.
I haven’t! Definitely something to consider doing in the future.
How do u part my own hair? You used 8 sections. How many locs are in each of those sections?
I really can’t tell you. I don’t follow a particular part pattern
@@LeyLocs Thank you. Sorry for all the questions. Lost my locs due to chemo. Trying to get my look back with no professional help (except asking questions).
Game changer ♥️ brb while go make some interlocked extensions and get to work
Would this be the same technique if you already have microlocs that you want to extend?
Yes you just need about an inch of your ends to be either loose or not loc’d
What's the brand of hair you used? From where?

This video is marvelous!!!! Bless you for sharing!!!!!!!
I love it. You did an amazing job. Where did you purchase that hair please? If I may ask
I use exyhair to create the locs
Quick question: is there any reason why you use a 2 point rotation versus a 3 or 4? I'm always curious as to which rotation is best...does it depend on hair texture maybe?
Hair texture does play a part. I probably should have used a 3 / 4 for her for a tighter hold.
@@LeyLocs a tighter rotation wouldnt allow her hair to fluff tho right. I doubt she wants to keep them stringy tight on fine hair.
This is so neat. What size would you say the locs are. I like this size. Thank you for showing this.
I consider these to be micro. Her parts are a little big but her hair is thin so it will still be micro sized.
@@LeyLocs please tell how many locs were installed and if they were size 3mm. Please. Your videos helped me decide that I'm getting locs ASAP! ❤
@@indyelizzibethc9454 😄 I’m not sure how many she had but I can guess 80-90 because her head is small. And yes 3mm
Any idea where I can get micro loc interlocking extensions that are pre-made? I've seen pre-made loc extensions but not the interlocked kind

Very nice! Do you work with only the afro kinky hair? I'm in the market for some lisa bonet boho perm. extensions but most stylists only use the Kinky hair
Yes the other hair seem too silky to stay in
Can extension affect your hair overtime?
@@bolutifeajulo2789 it can if it’s too heavy. I recommend trimming the extensions off has your hair grows. Especially around the 4-5 year mark
Can you explain how the extension works? Will her hair grow into the extension? will it eventually come out?
Because they are both interlocked, there’s a smooth transition into the extensions. Both her hair and the extensions will mature and look like naturally grown locs
I love this video, and the locs came out beautiful! 👏💯
