Honestly looking at the zoomed In picture of your hair I often wonder why we're convinced black hair isn't beautiful, it's so versatile in the texture and density and length, that wooliness of black hair is just 👌👌. I'm trying to lesnr how to retighten my own microlocs and this is helpful, I do prefer the 4 point because it gives me more tightness I don't want the poofiness of normal locs I had locs prior to these microlocs and I definitely love these ones more. Anyway your hair looks very lovely and your skin is glowing 😊😊
@@KekeJ What's the difference between sisterlocks and microlocks? I love that your locks are curly at the end. I personally would love to retain my curls. Cool video 👍🏾
@@loovej sister locks use a trademarked tool and grid pattern and only a trained consultant can install sisterlocks and they must be maintained via that system. Micro locks are small interlocks that anybody can do and can be started in many different ways like 2 strand twists or braids or interlocking from the tip to the root. Microlocks cost a fraction of the price of sisterlocks. I have microbraid locs and the braid pattern disappeared in about 8 months and I maintain via the interlocking method like she just showed. I do either 3 or 4 point rotation and don’t put too much pressure on myself lol. People often think I have sisterlocks but I could never spend that much coin on my hair. DIY and get the same look for me.
I've been considering locs for years so I'm glad to get information on upkeep even though I don't have them yet. Helps me make a fully informed decision. Your hair is so beautiful and full 😍
I’ve had my microlocs for all of 6 months and I love them!! My hair grows stupid fast, at my 3 1/2 month mark I had 4 inches of new growth. I have 500+ locs from mid back free natural hair and it is now about 3 or 4 inches past my neck. While I am very knowledgeable on scalp and hair care, I need to refine my technique with doing my own interlocing. Thank you for the video !
You can switch rotations. As locs continue to form and mature they sometimes require more rotations or less. Trust me, I ask my loctitian all the time. She does 4 for the back half of my head and 3 up top because it is softer. Love your locs!!!!
My hair has been loc'ed 4 months now. I struggled at first with figuring out what method worked best for my 3c-4a hair. Two months in I figured out plaiting down a little then two strand twisting the rest plus 4 point rotation interlocking at the root works best as my hair unravels and slips easily. It might seem a bit condensed, my locs are small too (not as small as yours). I found after a while with applying rosewater daily they loosen up and now the roots are same size as the rest of the loc so I get my volume and roundness. So now my routine is interlocking at root w/ 4 point & palm rolling the rest. I use Fantasia IC Jamaican Black Castor Oil/ extra dark as well. ❤❤❤ it! Thanks for the vid. Your hair is gorgeous!💕
You get that "Y" once you're interlocking so regardless of how many rotations because that last one it's going through the hair and it's pulling the hair In that direction. Remember when you put through the tool it practically makes a split.
@@KekeJ maybe because the loc at the base is fuller. I've seen it on many people and that's probably the only thing I haven't liked about interlocking (through videos of course).
🤗🤗 we are on the same journey at the same time! 🤗🤗 Try the 3 point turn rotation, that’s what I use. Hair is still cylindrical and with a nice fluffiness for volume.
Your hair is progressing nicely 😊from my experience the 2pt does end up cylindrical once it shrank up with washing & time, you in baby locs stage & have a long way to go. People say all the time trust the process & it’s a journey- they right. The 3&4pt will give you a tighter compact loc compared to the 2pt, your hair is much thicker than mine so I think you’ll have full hair regardless of which rotation you decide on. Love your content & looking forward to seeing the rest of your journey. 😊🇬🇧
Your welcome, it’s so nice to have all this information & guidance to help as maintaining locs is not easy. Just be sure to take what information you get & proceed with caution as not everybody locs the same & will react differently, their your “babies” look after them ☺️🇬🇧
I just realized I wasn’t subscribing yet was constantly watching. My apology. Am still debating on locking my hair so I have the micro locs in the middle without extension and the perimeters with with extensions for length and fullness. I am learning. Thank you!❤️
With my current second set I'm doing 3 point rotation. I always end each rotation on the down direction so I know with next retie how to start. As dense as your hair is I don't think you need to worry about the full effect you want but the 4 or 3 point will create the cylindrical look for each loc in the long run. Your hair looks great! Enjoy your crispy parts.
This was a good video. I do a 4 point rotation because that just works for me. I love to watch your videos because you and I have been Loc’d for the same amount of time.
All rotations create the "Y". I'm 2 months in. I started with 4pt but just did a 3pt retie on the top. Its so much easier and nice in between the 2 and 4 I love your hair!
Omg the flatness! I do a 2 point and couldn't understand why that was happening. I did 2 point because I didn't want my locs to get too small, I'll have to try the 4 point next retie
thank you this help me so much i will get my microloc install dec 10th, 2022 so i will start the New with a new do, i just cut my traditional locs off 2 months ago after having them for 10yrs
Love your hair as usual! From what I’ve researched, the 3 and 4 point creates more cylindrical locs and the 2 is flatter. I wanted full locs so I was doing the 2 but I want the shape. Might try the 3 point. I’m not sure. Feel free to check out my loc journey too 🥰
I do the 4 point. Because I don't want any holes and my new growth is too crazy for me to just interlock 2 times lol. I did the 2 pt and I did receive holes and I'd rather do the full 4 pt rather than have holes and that y split at the root. Loved this video!
Hey Keke. I've been following you for a while now and I just love your locs so far, I lowkey wanna do locs too every time I see yours but I also like changing my hairstyles a lot.
Also what is your set up like to do the back of your head. I struggle with parting the back of my head or doing anything because I'm always holding a mirror in between doing the hairstyle to check if it's decent or not. Would love to see how you do the back of your head or just your setup to do it easily.
Do your 4 point if you like how it looks better! I interlocked for 1.5 years and just switched back to palm rolling, because I didn’t like the chain/flat look (my locs are a bit larger). Do what you like early on so that you get the look you want; otherwise it’s always gonna bother you. Your locs are so pretty!
Hi can you do a video on how you get all the loose hairs on the length of the loc? Ivv bc want to start doing my own maintenance but not sure what to do for the loose hairs. I’m only 4 months in microlocs and they haven’t started loc’n yet.
I LOVE your locs! My inspiration. I’m starting my micro locs in March which is my 10 year anniversary of being natural! Do you know approximately how many locs you have? If you ordered your interlock tool online can you provide the link? Thanks so much!!!💜
You should consider the 3 point rotation. That’s what I use and it’s a happy medium between the 2 and 4 point. My locs are round and uniform but are also more full
How do you keep your hair so lint free and i dont see the little white shed roots that some people have. I'd really like to know as this is what is stopping me from starting my locks
I swear your hair is absolutely beautiful and So are you Queen 👸🏽 I was in the fence about microlocs but watching your video have made me decide to get them❤️❤️❤️
I just got my microlocs 1 month ago. I’m thinking about re tieing my own locs. I got them Feb 9. And it’s march 17th now. I have a lot of new grow. Do I retie now?
Thank you. I’m learning so much. I had been asking you on your Instagram what kind of locs you have but through watching your RUclips I’ve discovered is the two-point method I’m gonna be getting my locks in January and I was trying to make sure I knew the exact kind you had before I got them because I noticed at the Sister Locs are just too skinny for me and I want volume so even though you say they are flat I’m still gonna start off with the two appointments it and maybe as the lock and get older I’ll switch back-and-forth but I’m not sure

You are the first person that I have come across that shows it slowed down. Thank you 😊
God your hair texture is so beautiful! Wow! So much density! Perfecto! 👌 😍😍😍🙌🏾♥️♥️♥️
When I had sisterlocks, I used 4 rotation and my locks stayed neat and smooth. My locks were waist length and I loved the freedom. Tfs💜
I may switch to that one! Thanks for watching! 💕

I’ve recently decided to lock my hair because I’ve been wanting to for a very long time but you gave me the courage girl!!! Thanks for the videos
Your hair looks amazing, this is exactly what I want. I’m considering getting microlocs.
Sis you're a beast! There is no way I could ever do that on my own head. Simply beautiful 😍
I don’t have micro locs nor do I interlock but I swear you explained that the best from any other video I’ve ever watched . Your locs are gorgeous 😀

You make me wanna take down my locs and do them over, but OMG my takedown would be brutal!!! I just love how fluffy yours are!!
Girllll fr fr I just combed out my traditional pics of 3 years over the weekend bc I really want smaller locs
The BEST video on interlocking I’ve seen. Thank you!

That makes total sense! I feel like it’s more prominent with the two point tho, it wasn’t as visible with the 4 point rotation

You do awesome posts. Very clean…polished. I especially love your southern accent. Reminds me of the girls I went to school with. Very nostalgic…
This demonstration was nice. And your curl pattern is beautiful 🥰🫶🏽.
🤗🤗 we are on the same journey at the same time! 🤗🤗
Try the 3 point turn rotation, that’s what I use. Hair is still cylindrical and with a nice fluffiness for volume.

You make such good videos You have convinced me to do 2 rotations on my micro locs from now on.
Thanks a lot. Had to go through a lot of annoying videos till I reached yours. Following ASAP
Omg ik it take you for ever to do your hair . ...omg I'm so in love with your locks 😍😍😍

Great Job... Yeah my Daughter is like this she us a Perfectionist.
Is there a video showing how to start micro locs 🥰
Thank you for the tip about the Y it helped alot
can you do a video where you explain how you parted your hair to install?
Check out her mini braids video, she parts pretty much the same for all of her parted braided/twisted styles.
@@jas4233 Thank you!
@@Unknown2Yoo Thank you, I will check that out!
Queen Eleem has a great video on parting for the initial install.
Full and luscious locs!
Gorgeous locs!!!!
Thank you! 💕
joined the prideeeeee tyyy for this video
Your locs are gorgeous!!!!
Beautiful video dod u start your micros your self wA this twists or interlocking please
I absolutely ❤ your hair!
Thank you! 💕

How do you prevent grabbing and interlocking hair in the wrong spaces 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩
so when using a 4 point rotation you don’t have to worry about the y? it doesn’t matter which direction you end up
I was so confused I thought the 2 rotation was just going through 2 times but you did 4 so now I gotta watch more interlocking videos.
It’s going in 2 same directions however many times.
Vey helpful I’m starting this weekend
Look at you giving up reti discoveries! 👏🏾
You should consider the 3 point rotation. That’s what I use and it’s a happy medium between the 2 and 4 point. My locs are round and uniform but are also more full
Thank you! I think I’ll be trying this next time
So how exactly did you establish the parting? Did you do a grid? Or did you part row by row in a bricklay pattern?
How do you keep your hair so lint free and i dont see the little white shed roots that some people have. I'd really like to know as this is what is stopping me from starting my locks
I do a 4 point rotation but my microlocs only lay one way. How can i fix that?
About to wash my hair and start on my first retie today. I'll probably video it too. LOL, I wonder how many days it will take me.😅
Your hair is beautiful 😻
I swear your hair is absolutely beautiful and So are you Queen 👸🏽 I was in the fence about microlocs but watching your video have made me decide to get them❤️❤️❤️
Very helpful and concise❤ 5:10
I also noticed the flatness in one loc at the back but I really love them being fuller so I'll stick to the 2 point lol. Liked the video 💜💜
Thank you! 💕
But how do you look for the « Y » for the hair in the back?
I just got my microlocs 1 month ago. I’m thinking about re tieing my own locs. I got them Feb 9. And it’s march 17th now. I have a lot of new grow. Do I retie now?

Beautiful, you have a wonderful personality
Hello. How and when do you apply the oil? To the root? After you interlock or before?
Can you show yourself doing the back? Trying to figure out you set up and how you are seeing your head, hands and hair.
I really love your locs. Can you show how you retight the back of your hair??
How can you tell you’re doing it right in the back?
So you do both re-twist and interlock? I watched you video the month before this where you did a re-twist and not interlocking.
How long does it take you to do your whole head? It takes me days I’m getting faster though
What about the 3point rotation?
I was thinking the same . I feel like 3 is jus perfect.
Ok this was helpful. I had to watch it a few times to understand the Y😅
Hi, how do you take care the loose frizzy hair?
I love your hair
So it's okay if I decided to twist and or use the 2 point rotation method? I noticed in one of your other videos you were doing a retwist.
Use a 3 point rotation!
Ok, I know to look for the “y” but when you’re retightening the back, how do you know?? Thank you!
Beautiful Locs! 😍
Blessings on your 4 months!!!! I hit 4 months on Feb 11th🤗
Thank you! 💕 happy 4 months!!
Three point gives the best of both worlds
Where did you get your interlocking needle?
Your hair is beautiful
This is beautiful ❤
