hi! here is part 2 of me installing diy microlocs. in this video i interlocked my two strand twist that i installed in part 1. i used a 2 point rotation when interlocking, meaning inentered the loc at the same two directions every rotation. this is my first set of locs and i am so excited for the journey!

It is official! I couldn’t find a video that made me confident enough to do it myself and I just want to say thank you! Thank you! Thank you 🥰🤗
ahh that makes me so happy! you’re so welcome, im proud of you for believing in yourself 🤍🤍🤍
@@queentyquana you are so sweet, thank you 🥹🥹🥹💕💕
Thank you so much for your microlocs DIY videos! You’ve helped me have more confidence to do this myself. I’m starting my DIY install tomorrow!
you’re so welcome!! how did installation go?
You are definitely motivating me to do my own microlocs. Love your videos!
thank you, you can do it!! 💞
Yes two points rotation is quite easy to do. The only time I find myself doing 3 point rotation is when I have much hair growth to interlock.. your locs are beautiful 🤍
thank you so much 🤎
Exactly how I did mine! That 3 way mirror is a Godsend 😅❤
it literally is, i love it 🤎
I had locs for three years combed them out and now want to do the micro loc . And I want mines exactly like yours they are not to small not to big . I am going to do my best following your method wish me luck☺️
you got this! if you need further guidance i created and ebook that covers my entire install step-by-step to help you get results similar to mine.

i added the link to the ebook, good luck on starting your journey 💞
I have a question! Why do you start with your hair blown out? I am about to start my microlocs this week, it'll be my second set of locs! I'm excited and your video was by far one of the most helpful! I don't really want to do a grid and this process is very similar to how I started my last set of locs!
honestly i only blew out my hair because i knew it would be easier for me to part that way. thank you so much 💞
Thank you so much for these videos! They help TREMENDOUSLY!
of course, i’m glad you’re finding them helpful!🤎🤎
My best advice to you is to let your hair be as dry as possible and don't manipulate it so much. You'll see maximum growth when youjust leave your love alone and let them be. I know it's hard cause but you'll love the results. Btw they look so beautiful!
thank you & thanks for sharing 🤎
I thought they said to wet them almost every day with Rose water.
@@shatavias. Yes wet it every day with whatever kind of water works for you and let your hair completely dry afterward. I locked mine and my daughter's hair. I have 3c hair texture and my daughter is 4c. I only put oil on our scalps until our locks formed. Then I started putting a little oil on my locs. Low manipulation grew and my daughter's hair fast too. Try it for a year. See if it works for you.
@@danithemoongoddess so would you say to wet them soon as you get them or wet a couple weeks? I’m sorry if I’m asking to much
@@shatavias. No it’s okay. No need to apologize. I started wetting them as soon as I got them. In the beginning when I wanted to wet my hair but was afraid that the twist would come out, I put a wig cap on and drenched my hair. Then would just let it dry. After a month I saw them start to get nappy so then I just sprayed my hair with water from a spray bottle.
LOOKS BEAUTIFUL
thank you!! 🥰
i have a question. after doing the two strand twist method for these locs, do you have to interlock your hair or is it just an option?
it’s just an option. i interlocked my locs immediately after installing them but some don’t until it’s time to maintain them
Do you start with a braid before twisting?
I’m using the four point rotation and for now it’s good for me 😊
how many locs do you have?
@@queentyquana I tried curling my 4c microlocs as you did, it did not work why?
Gutl I’ve binged watched all your vids!! Thank you for posting!
Question though…what made you decide to do the two point rotation? I think deciding which rotation to do, is what has me stumped lol
thank you so much for being here and for supporting my journey, it truly means a lot!! i decided on a two point rotation because i wanted more volume over uniformity with my locs. also, since i don't have a finer texture of hair i didn't need as much structure that the 4 point rotation gives.
also, don't overthink it. even if you start out doing a 2 point you can switch it up and try out the 4 point the next time around. you got this queen!!
@@queentyquana Queeeeennnn!!! Your response has absolutely totally made my day! You have no idea!!! I finally get it now! I’m soooooo ready! Two point rotation it is 😉 Know that you have given me the confidence I needed ☺️ Thank YOU!!!
@@WhoizKittiB yay you’re soooo welcome!!! i’m excited for you and your journey. definitely keep us updated on the process and let me know if you have any questions. i know they’ll be beautiful queen 🤍
heyyy! so I see you said you tried to end on a down point for each loc? What happens if you don’t will it mess up the loc?
if you interlock through the same direction 2x you’ll create a hole in your loc. so as long as you aren’t doing that you’re good
Did you interlock right after u did your starter locs or you waited for some new growth??
i interlocked immediately. since i didn’t braid at the roots it was loose enough to do so
but you definitely don’t have to, you can wait for new growth
hi! thanks for sharing your knowledge of wealth w us! ✨ im planning on installing my own micro locs soon.. was your scalp tender after the interlocking process?
hi, no problem at all! my scalp was a little tight but not to a point of pain. it’s just felt like i’d just gotten my hair done. but also i learned that i don’t have to retie as tight to get the perfect retie.
Your first interlock was 1 month after you began your starter locks? Or was right after you finished them ?
right after i finished them
How many weeks did you wait before interlocking? I have braids and did interlock six weeks after installing my braids
i interlocked the next day after installing twists. i was sooo excited
Do you have to interlock them???
@@lakesharayford5537 not necessarily. i’ve heard of people retwisting (palm rolling) their microlocs too
Hey how many locs do you have? I tried to find your older video of loc count. I want to combine some of mine that was just way too small my count is 250 but I’m thinking I want the 200 range to help with easier reties but hoping it’ll still look fuller
hi sis, i have 260 loc babies
@@queentyquana thank you beautiful! I hope your pregnancy is going well❤️
Do you think I would be better off doing microlocs on my own or by a loctician if I’m not familiar with care and such?
i’d say it depends. if you’re willing to learn about maintenance then you could start them yourself. bc even with going to a loctician you’ll have to learn how to maintain them in between your appointments. maybe you could get a loctician to start them and maintain them yourself. i am still learning about maintaining my locs because i knew very little before starting.
@@queentyquana thank you sooo much! I felt as though I should at least let a professional do installation, and maybe take an online course on loc care. I will be waiting for your next videos! Great content!
@@humblehummingbird8420 no problem at all! thank you for being here🤎 i believe in you!
Do you have the first one starter loc?
I watched your part one
Thank you for sharing but I want to know how long the starter locs took before you interlocked them. I want to start with two strand twist but I don't know the period it will take before I start interlocking
thank you for watching! it took me about 2 days to install my two strand twist and i began interlocking the day after i finished installing. you can wait if you want to be sure the twists are the size you want but i was satisfied and went ahead and interlocked
So beautiful 🥰
I have a question, do all your locs are the same size?
thank you!! not at all, some are bigger than intended and some are smaller
This may sound silly but do you have to interlock? Can I just do the two stand twist?
doesn’t sound silly at all. yes you can, you don’t have to interlock the roots right away. you can wait and get a feel for your twists before you commit
I’ll come back to this as soon as my hair is long enough again
we’ll be waiting 🤍
So is that all your hair ? Or did you add hair on ? Also how many times do you loop each braid ?
this is all of my natural hair, no extensions. the amount of times i interlocked depended on how much space i had at the root, there was no set number. i interlocked until i was as close to my scalp as possible without it being super tight
Did you finally count your locs ?
no, i haven’t counted them yet but doing a loc count video really soon!
I absolutely love it! I’m so thinking about starting over to microlocs and doing them myself.
Question….you interlocked them immediately after you installed them? Like the next day?
thank you queen! yes, i started interlocking the next day after i finished installing the twists.
how long after the install did you interlock? 🥰
the next day, i was so excited and i knew i was satisfied with my sizing
Can I start sista locs from mini twist? I braided my roots before twisting if that matters.
Yes you can
u the best ❤️
thx baby 🥰
GAWGUS!🤩
thank you!!!
does the interlocking feel tight? like similar to a fresh set of braids😭
it can if you interlock too tightly but the good thing is you have control over the tightness
How do you maintain the curly ends
What is the density of your hair?
Can I lock my relaxed hair like this?or it has to be natural hair?
@fairy what is instant loc method? Is it going to be microlocs too?
Thank you so much for the video. What's the name of the instrument you're using to lock your hair
www.amazon.com/shop/queentyquana/list/1VKIQZS9PZNUY?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ons_mixed_m
it’s called an interlocking tool for locs. i got mine from my local beauty supply but i found some on amazon too. i included the link to my loc essentials list where you can find it 🤎
Bonjour, est-ce qu on peut défaire cette coiffure ? Si oui après combien de temps sur la tête ?
for a more temporary style you can install mini twists without interlocking them
Did you not use loc gel at all?
yes but very little
Is it possible to comb them out after a year plus
it might be possible but it might be a challenging task since you’re interlocking
Ok never mind the questions in other video what’s the tool u use for interlock or what another way
pls let me know if you have any other questions! here’s my affiliate link to the tool i’m using. i got my from local beauty supply but i found some similar on amazon.

Is this your hair or added exstentions if so what type of hair did you use?
hi, this is my natural hair 🤎
@queentyquana how long did it take you to interlock and where did you get the tool from
hi! i finished interlocking over 2 days & the tool i used was from my local beauty supply. it’s called and interlocking tool.
@@queentyquana I want to do mine, but I hate spending time on my hair, that's why I wanted to loc it
@@daliyahholliman1046i think the time you spend installing your locs will be worth it.
How many locks do you have?
260
@@queentyquanathank you so much for your reply. I have just completed mine and I have 270. Thought it was a low number but you have just made my day 😊😊😊.
I wonder how some people have 600?
Your hair looks so full so this really maje me feel much better.
I have joined the club 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@symonebrown7881 welcome to the club, we are so glad to have you 💗💗
i’m glad i could help, i too wonder how some people have anything over 300 sometimes 😭
Awesome JOB BEAUTIFUL
thank you so much!!
Do you know your parting size?
no, i did the parting by eye so they aren’t all the same size
@@queentyquana oh ok. Thanks!
Why do you have to interlock it?
you dont have to, microlocs can also be retwisted
