The way you parted your hair THAT well by eye is similar to how grandma measures recipes by eye. GIRL, THAT is skills! Thanks for sharing, because I’ve been wondering what your process was!
Thank you so much! I sure do appreciate that! ❤
I love the way your hair looks
I love this! You just gave us a grid technique without charging us a thing! People are making money off of teaching courses on their own version or technique of locs. You really could market this if you wanted. It seems the be the most natural way! Perfect sizing! Beautiful and neat! 😍😍😍
Exactly, not only did she give us a free grid technique, but I find it the easiest to follow for DIY! Even when re-interlocking, easy to tell which row you stopped at. She's Heavenly sent, God Bless her! I am in Canada and I have been contemplating if to DIY or pay a loctician $700 plus, this video made me decide to DIY!
I agree, I paid $600 to learn and I didn’t learn a thing really LOL
It makes complete sense girl. Very detailed 💙💙
Tysm 🥰
This is exactly how I want to do mine. Bricks in the back and straight in the front love it 😍 I’m doing tester mini twists as well👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Thank you so much! 💕
“and i don’t feel no type of way but good about it. listen…” that comment took me All The Way Out! a middle part is my thang - it has a 70s vibe to it that can’t really be f’ed with. thanks for sharing!
😂😂 I love them too! Thanks for watching! 💕
I feel like a middle part also adds elegance. You can't tell me nothing after a fresh retie and a popping middle part. I be boujie🤣🤣
I just finished my diy micro locs 3 days ago. This is my second loc journey and I was never worried about the grid
It’s kinda stressful to focus on a specific grid, so I knew I didn’t want one. I feel like I have true freedom!
I've been struggling on even picturing a layout of how I want my locs but this makes sense to me. I'm also very particular which is why I'm nervous about going to someone to start them only to come home and not feel 100% . Doing them myself I can test them out just like you did and play around with it until I'm satisfied. Thanks for sharing!
I did the going to someone else, I found out quickly that I probably should do my own hair lol
I"ve been doing my research for months and watched so many videos. This method makes SO much more sense in my. brain then the pre-parted grids all over your head. Thank you!
Yeah so I’m doing my locs myself. Thank you much for sharing your process with us.
You did them parts girl! They crispy👌🏽
Thank you! I tried my best! 💕
7:02 “It’s lookin full…” 🧀
I love love love the way you arranged your locs. I think this what I will do as well.
So I kinda like grids, but I don’t, lol 😂! For my locs I KNEW I wanted a center part, but diamonds parts in the back. So I kinda have a mix. For my daughter’s locs I wanted her to have a designated center part also, but not all the way down to the back because I agree with you, it takes away some fullness. I love the way you did your grid pattern, very clever👌🏿! Thanks for sharing ❤️!
I loooooooove your accent... Can listen to you all day. I'm new here with mini braids and I guess I found my fam❤️
Before you even explained the straight back middle part, I knew! I hate when folks do that bc that is not brick lay. Just out here looking like the Red Sea after Moses. No suh. I feel seen lol
Red sea😂😂😂😂 This took me out😅
This helped convince me that 1) I can probably install my locs myself and 2) I am right by thinking about trialing it by doing mini-twists (I started practicing in late May cause I want to install this Fall/Winter.
But thank you for sharing!
The universe knew I needed this video you’re method is literally what I’ve been looking for and now I can start my loc journey
Thank you !!
Beautiful. Love the technique. I can see that you have your own grid pattern and technique, even though it's not the official sisterloc one. You did a professional level job. Love it. Black people are so talented and creative!
I love how you explained the brick layering method! Your hair looks amazing!
You and the shaking of the HAAAAIIIIRRR!!!!! Lionelllllll, Ms Mane bouncing n behaving!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 mine is slowly getting there!
Had I seen this before I would've attempted to do my locs myself rather than pay to get them done. So yeah this video is extremely helpful! Thanks for making it
This is exactly what I attempted but I just didn't achieve this level of precision. Your locs are 💜💜💜🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽
What you've done is very technical and impressive! I kinda wish I had a grid pattern as I went for even partings as if I was having microbraids done. Like you, I have a middle part in the front only on my loctician's advice.
Originally, I had no middle parting as that is what I was used to with braids (it looked more natural to me) but in reality then I didn't like it on locs as it's more permanent 🤦🏾♀️. When I went back for my first retie, my loctician redid some locs in the front section and put a middle part in (I'm so glad ahe was patient with my indecision and didn't charge me more! 😂). I was insisting the middle part goes all the way back like sisterlocs and my loctician said no. I'm so glad I listened. It falls a lot more naturally now.
If I could start again I would do mine exactly like yours. I'm going to send your video to my sister so she's well informed before she starts hers as she is obsessed with having a grid. I think your method is perfect, natural looking and versatile. It has the uniformity is fuller and doesn't have that 'scalpy' look.
Love love love your pattern and hair! This is how I want mine. I kept saying I want micro locs, but not extremely small and I’ve never liked the square on top of square method; even with braids. Thank you so much for this. 🤍
Girl! You are just too precise! Please continue preaching, Clean parts are the secret to long lasting and beautiful locks! Without a strong forever base, the lock will eventually thin out and fall off. We have been waiting for years for a video on how to see the back of your head😊😊
My new hair crush! 💕💗💞💓💖
wait, say what now? Girl, say so!!!!!! I am very much getting closer to my decision. Thanks for sharing.
I’m crushing on your locs😂You did an amazing job🥰 I’ve been loc’d for 9mths now and my locs were started by a loctician. Eventually, after my 1yr. l want to start doing my own re-ties. Thanks for all the informative videos.😊
I understood you. Makes sense Queen. We appreciate you sharing!
Thank you so much! 🥰
Brick layer is the best and perfected technique 😍
Gurl you snapped on these, okay! They’re beautiful and neat.
I got my microlocks installed yesterday! I’m so in love with them. I can’t wait until they grow to your length
The patience you have w your hair is amazing ! Your micro locs came out gorgeous and perfect 😍
It makes sense beautiful locs
Thank you! 💕
I like your pattern better than I like the pacific grid patterns. It looks fuller even when you retie. If I ever decide to do it, then I will do it the way you did it.
I HOPE IM MAKING SENSE Sis your explanation was COMPLETELY PERFECT!!!! 💖💖💖 Im considering starting mine and Ive been watching different videos and your video WAS THEEEE BEST!!! Thank u soo much
Totally my loc inspiration! Thanks for sharing your thought process regarding your personal grid pattern. I appreciate your patience with setting and maintaining those crispy parts.😃👍🏻
Your hair is so beautiful....love watching your videos 🥰😍
your hair looks amazing! and everything you said makes sense. seems like hard work but well worth it
Thank you so much. You were such a major influence with me doing my Sister Cousin's hair... so helpful 🎉❤😊
I Love your Pattern!! I'm going to try the pattern on my head and see what it looks like. Awesome video!!
This is exactly how I did my second set of locs and I love it!!!!!
Beautiful 💯 and let me tell ya it feels amazing when oil your scalp with the parting in this pattern.
New to your channel. I've been watching videos looking at pictures. I love the way you did you hair! It makes sense. My hair is thinner at top and I think this would work on my hair!
Your grid makes so much sense, I also don’t love the idea of a straight middle part all the way down. I wish I could start mine myself but I can’t part for my life but hopefully my loctitian is willing to not follow the standard grid. Thank you!
You really got me wanting to do microlocs😩
You’re amazing and gorgeous! I’m going back and forth between sisterlocs and microlocs…I love your microlocs
I call myself doing my own hair 3 wks ago but didn’t interlock them yet.. but know you got me wanting to take all down again it do this parting!! It’s perfect and the retie’s should go smoothly!!! Thanks for this as always you hair is on point!!!
We more or less laid our grids the same. I don't like harsh middle parts either. But I noticed that I legit just have less hair in the front right quarter of my head. There's like a 15 loc discrepancy on that side despite my best efforts.
It happens, just as long as you’re happy with them that’s all that matters! I definitely have a tad bit more locs on one side than the other as well
@@KekeJ Oh yes I love them... Even after ridiculously long retie sessions 🤣 I favor side parts anyway, so it doesn't much matter in the grand scheme.
Wow brick grid in the back and straight in the front? That's smart! I CANNOT imagine doing my own starter locs lol. I'm at a point I don't even really want to do my own hair. I'm considering comb coils (maybe even 2 strand) instead of micro locs so I hope this method will look good in those too
I finally found what I had stuck in my head explained. 😂 Your hair is beautiful and my hope is that my hair’s beauty will shine as well 😊
Makes sense to me! I'm in the same boat lol. I don't want a grid pattern but I was thinking of the brick layering but none of the videos I watched showed that. I want them to look full without gaps. I love yours and thanks for the video cause you just helped me out and now I will get started.
I did mini twists for a few months and then I thought I found a size I liked but I knew they’d mature thicker. I then turned each strand of my two strand twist into their own and some have started to loc🥳
Thank you!! This is going to be the way I plan to start mine. I appreciate the information
Made sense to me lol cause that’s how I want mine 😩 started my locs in the beginning of 2018 and took them down 4 months later cause I wanted them smaller and fuller 😭 nonetheless they weren’t bad but yours are absolutely beautiful and will be what I go off of when I get them again lol ❤️
Keke J, Sis!!! You are phenomenal, amazing. It's extremely impressive that this is freehand because of the precision, uniformity of size and accomplishment of the aesthetic goals. Whether a natural or cultivated skill, this demonstrates mathematical inclination in ways architects and engineers would appreciate. I particularly love how knowing what you did/didn't want informed your choices and personalized your process to great success. Structures as a guide, not a limitation. Yes'm. That IS freedom. I've been nervous about learning to retighten my hair, afraid to "mess it up". Meanwhile you did a full installment on yours. I'm in awe and inspired. I feel encouraged to learn. Thanks you, Lioness. Sincerely. I've joined the pride. 🙌🏿🥰💃🏿❤🙏🏿
Gosh thank you so so much for your kind words! 🙏🏾 I truly appreciate that! I definitely did not want to restrict myself to specific grid. And that was true freedom for me. That means the world that I could inspire you! Welcome to the Pride! 🦁💕
@@KekeJ 🦁❤🙏🏿 Thank you for your reply. This was a powerful and timely lesson for me in faith, trust, perseverance, commitment and creativity❤ Continued and greater success to you in all aspects of your life ❤.
Girl you made sense. And I love your locs. I love how you did it the way you wanted. I am getting mine done really soon. Going for a consult tomorrow and after that making the appointment asap. Awesome video
I am so happy your video popped up, this has literally calmed all my nerves and anxious thoughts about doing my hair!!! I was going to pay someone but the detailed explanation you gave and breakdown… pay who? And why? I’m not… thank you, you’re the best!!!
This right here! I agree ☝🏾
Keke i love your locs when i seen u them i was like omg they r perfect she know what she want and how she like it u did that great job 💖💖💖💖 beautiful
They look amazing. Very well worth the time.
Thank you so much for posting this! It's going to help so much when I start my loc journey I've always loved your locs
i’m glad you shared this with us, i’ve been looking forward to seeing those parts and they did not disappoint!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
the parts i use for my mini twists are very similar to what you’ve got laid out here. i’ve noticed, too, that no matter how hard i try i end up with a few more twists on one side than the other. think i’ve just got less hair on one side 🤷🏾♀️
and i’m here for the length! you better swing those locs, yes ma’am! “once she gets down my back… 💁🏾♀️” 😂
Eeeeeek Ive been waiting for a video like this!! Cause i want my grid to look just like thisss
I love it ❤. I was definitely inspiring me. I know Im ready to loc my hair.
Brick layer look so easy and now I can finally start mines…Thank you 🤝
That was amazing! Your Loc Pattern is Nice & Crisp! You did awesome! I started my Locs 10.26.20, with no previous experience but just knowing how to Mini Twist my hair. I tried to follow some type of pattern in order to have some type of neatness, but it’s in no way perfect. lol, at the end of the day we get Locd Hair and I’m just so happy with that. I had no experience and had several spaces in most of the Locs at the end of my self-install but it’s growing pretty well just some super-thick end on some of my Locs (which I think is caused by the spaces) but not looking bad at all. Thanks for this super-informative video; others will surely learn another great way of creating a pattern. 🙌🏽🥰
This was worth every second I watched!! Thank you
Thank you for explaining this!! Makes it so easy to figure out how to start my locs and how to line everything up
Thank you!!! This is what I needed. I have started my locs and taken them down twice now because they turn out to be bigger than I want. The first time I did them, I freehanded the back and parted the front. I wasn’t too into that because I like crispness just like you. So I redid them and used a grid patter the second time. They still aren’t the right size and it’s still not as straight as I want. So I am currently taking them down and I will be using your parting method. It seems so much easier! Thank you for all of your content. I have learned so much from you! I am also subscribed to your gaming channel too😊. I love it!
I want the Keke grid. 😻
You described it perfectly! And it’s exactly what I want as well. I’m a new subby! Love your locs!
Hey thanks!! And welcome to the Pride! 🦁💕
Your locs are maturing nicely and your locs have grown a lot😊
Thank you so much! 💕 I’m so excited!
@@KekeJ You’re welcome❤️
First of all Queen you are STUNNING!! I always love the vibes over here. You all really inspiring me to DIY my locs😁 I’m thinking I’m just going to do it!!
Did you do it?
very interesting ! I do tiny knotless braids on my hair very often with the brick method to minimize the "flat" effect and I was very surprised to see that for micro locs people don't use this method at all ! I found one person that did, thanks for this video
Thank you!
This was extremely helpful!
Beautiful hair!
Keke, you are so dope! Your pattern is my favorite and I love how your microlocs lay. I plan to start my diy microlocs soon. I have to do sections because I'm so slow at doing my hair so... maybe I'll be done within a week because I want to interlock instead of two strand twist.
I’m here for all of it!!!! Thank you for this video!!!! Much appreciated 💕💕💕💕
Hey Keke, I'm starting my loc journey this weekend coming, I so appreciate this video about how you parted your hair because the way you did yours is just the way I was thinking about doing mines, it was super helpful. 👏👏👏
How did it go?
@@yolandojenkins170 it went very good, January 2nd I will be 4 months locked, I love it.
Excellent! I agree I don't like that huge middle part and love the brick lay pattern I will start my micro locs next month and I will use that pattern I think it looks better! Thanks!!
This is honestly so encouraging because I want to self-install but I have been stressing out about grids and what nots
Thank you!
Lord I can’t wait to get mine
Looks really good
You are amping me up. I have so much more confidence to attempt this thanks to you.
Thanks for this! This is how I will pattern my grid when I do my install😊
Very helpful 👌🏽, you did an amazing job. This is inspiring me to take the microloc journey. I have a client who wants the bricklayer grid. I'm going to try your method. Thanks 😊
Hii Keke j
I made my microlocs 2 weeks ago and used your way of parting. I love the way they are and enjoy my microlocs journey. You are an inspiration ❤
Your hair looks amazing! Gave me confidence to make the leap!!! Thanks
I'm looking to put my hair in microlocs and this video makes so much sense with the parting and flow/fall the locs. I agree, I don't want a super super specific grid but want the parts just like these. Thanks again!
This video as majorly helpful to me. Im getting ready to start my loc journey and the grid pattern is something I dont want to spend too much time on. I like the brick pattern more so thank you for posting. I am saving this for when I begin. ❤
I’ve just started watching you videos a few days ago and am loving it!!! I have wanted to loc my hair and you’re energy gave me the desire to do microlocs. Did my own research of course lol. Love your vibe and happy to be apart of your tribe 🥰
Made complete sense! Your locs are beautiful! I freehanded my grid as well. Wish I would have stopped when I was tired cause there are some places where the parts are not great and it bugs me so much! But not enough to take them out!
Your locs are my beautiful and you did an awesome job explaining.
It makes Sense 💯
That’s exactly what I wanted with mine. But the straight line came back, the locks didn’t feel full.. I ended up cutting them and I am waiting for my growth to restart it because it was all locked
It’s fine because I needed to cut my hair anyway.. it was weighing me down, I didn’t cut it after my father’s death 2 years ago. With the cut.. I felt the heavy weight lift off. Time for restart
Beautiful !!!
Honey, I LOVE your locs!!! I have been searching for a method to do my micro locs and your method is PERFECT 😊. Exactly what I am looking for. Thank you so much🙏🏽. I am starting my locs tomorrow. I will share my results with you.
Love your LOCS. I am in my 11th month
I glad I found your video, starting my diy microlocs this week. This is exactly what I was looking for. I want the fullness and size.
Heyyyy early gang!
Heyy! 👋🏾
I love this grid pattern for you. I totally understand the back middle part issue. I do like that you personalized your grid pattern. I have a personalized design that I want for myself and other people don't have it, but I like my hair parted a certain way even when I wear braids now, I part it that same way. I work with the head I have and the styles I like to wear. I love your pattern and the way it works for you
Hi Keke, this weekend is my start, second time moving forward with a mane, your inspiring videos got me there. Two questions; 1) When you started your microlocs I assumed you washed of course did you blow dry your hair or how did you prep it for the twists in terms of texture, product, etc.? 2) How long after you applied the locing product did you do your first wash? This would really help me take leap #2 and join the pride, thanks.
I love how you did this! I wish I had this kind of freestyle grid 😩
