  • STARTER LOCS TUTORIAL: TWO STRAND TWISTS {KIESHA ARIELLE}
    What's good guys?! So sorry for the delayed upload today I swear I need to get my laptop fixed, nonetheless as the saying goes: "Better Late than Never".
    In today's video I would love to share with you how I started my Loc Journey by demonstrating on my son's hair. Yes, he too has begun his journey and I can hardly wait to see how they blossom.
    I am using the exact methods I used when starting my locs, so this will give you an insight on my parting pattern and loc method which I have spoken on many times. I intend to maintain his locs the same way I do mine, as you would have seen I use the same moisturizing technique when prepping his hair.
    You will also see how I secure my roots in the beginning which helped with keeping my starter locs looking neater for longer (interlocking). If you are interested in purchasing the latch hook crochet needle I used to interlock then click this link:

      Kiesha Arielle thank you! I don’t really want to continue interlocking I’ve seen that the locks are not a soft as twisted ones. I have mixed hair that behaves both like Caucasian and African American hair so while my twisted ends are holding I now have about 5 inches at the root that are no longer twisted after two weeks and no tangling yet so I’m going to wash deep condition comb out and start fresh ❤️

    Great job. I'll be starting my daughters locs in a week or so. I considered braidlocs. But I think I will two strand twist them. I'll start it off by braiding at the roots. And taking a needle and black thread to hold the ends from unraveling. He did a great job at sitting still!!

    This helped me so much! I started my son with braided loca, but they just don’t want to agree with his 2b/3c/4a/4b hair. But I am going to loosen them and try the two strand and interlock his roots this time. I am an aspiring loctician, so this is very informative for me.

I'm going bananas trying to learn and under the differences between all the different locs and what would be best for them. I'm trying to teach them how to love themselves as they are. Girls are teasing them at school about their hair🙁. I don't want them to think something is wrong with their hair because it's not straight or curly. Basically I'm trying to choose what is best for them to start their hair/spiritual journey. I've came across coil twist, braid locs, two strand twist. I don't know which to choose from.

    I love it! I wish I would have watched this before I paid several hundred dollars. My granddaughter stated her loc journey 4 days ago, and the top crown is larger than the sides and back. I let the young lady know that I did not like it, but she insisted they were the same. Can I take them out and retwist myself just spraying it with water since product was added? It is about 12 locs. Thanks for any advice.

      Yes you certainly can undo and reinstall them...and I really dislike when hairdressers do that, I have had such an experience when I paid for them to install Marley Twists before

      Thanks so much! She used Design Essentials curl forming custard to twist. Should I use that or just mist with water?

      You can don't have to mist or use any products, but yes you can mist with water if you prefer

    Thank you for this video. My son is adhd autistic and i would love to give him traditional style locks. I worry how i even start with a comb through as he is terrified from getting lice at nursery once. Thanks to teatree and coconut oil he has been free for years. However in 6 years i have not brushed or combed his hair. He also doesnt like his hair touched.
    With all my concerns do you have any advice for me please. X

    I'm gonna start locks too, just one quick question, When do you wash your hair again after doing this ?
