    One thing we should normalize is our natural face with no makeup. You do not look crazy. You look normal. You look fine!! And it’s ok to be comfortable in your skin and posting without makeup on. Other peoples opinion about it don’t matter. Hugs

    I love it! ❤ I have been wearing my micro locs/ Sisterlocks for over 23 years. I have also been a micro loc stylist for 23 years. You did a great job and I applaud you. 👏🏾. Continue to educate yourself on the process and know that your locs will evolve and change over time. I have taken a couple of your classes and made a wig or two for myself…yes you can wear a wig over them even when they’re mature locs. 😊 You did a wonderful job!

      WOW!! That’s amazing!!
      Thank you so much!! I’m learning so much but there’s also lots of conflicting information.
      Thank you for the support!! A huge reason why I chose to do them so small is so I can still wear wigs when I want. With them smaller I can make them flatter. At least for now. I don’t know what they will look like when they loc.

    Welcome to the family!! They look great and you did an amazing DIY job!! Small locs are something else to maintain😂 but as long as you’re consistent you should be good. Definitely recommend having somebody else do the re-ties unless you know you have the time and patience for it.
    I started my locs myself on 4/20/20. Before I started combining I had 311 locs and was just dying to have more😂!! I’ve since combined some of them and I have no clue how many I have now lol. I have to do an updated count, but I think I’m in the neighborhood of maybe 290-ish

I’m still conscious of the spaciness of the scalp but know that I’m tired of the braids etc. and I too was afraid of locking into one style : love flexibility. But yes I see that you can do so much more with sisterlocs or any locing methods. So glad I ran into your channel. You did a fabulous job. I’m all about diy but I will definitely go get mine done at least for now. Thanks for Al the info. And yes. You look great without makeup.

    I'm currently starting my microlocs with interlocks. I've done them with two strand twists and the one thing I will say is that rope twists take longer to "loc" then just regularly two strand twisting your hair. Watching En Toi's videos on here has been helpful for me.
    I don't think the grid is all that important, except for styling. You did an amazing job on your day install.

    • @marquettabreslin
      @marquettabreslin  Год назад

      That’s the one thing I’m wondering if I should have done instead of the two strand twist method! My biggest reason for not starting them with interlock is because of the time. I had a short window to do it and couldn’t wait months to get in with a loctician.

    Hi Marquette, you’ve done a good job with your starter locks, I was considering locking my hair, because am always in mini twist, you should’ve tried mini twist and treat it like locks to see if you would like it, but you probably will, am the same as you, I cannot wear braids, I had some put in, they were out the next day, I just kept having headaches, the smallest tension in my hair, makes me miserable 😂 so I stick to wearing my own hair, I choose comfort over hairstyle

I want them bad but my pockets don't allow me to pay someone soooooo I'm going to have to do it myself. I too used to braid and I am a licensed cosmetologist lol. I can do this!!! A friend was going to do it for me but I haven't heard from her which is really Disheartening but that's fine I can do this!!! Thanks for sharing and you've encouraged me to move forward 🤎!!! Oh and I have a Mohawk so it won't take me as long lol.

    I'm starting mine with extention human afro kinky bundles. It's #51 color and i already found out how i can color it to match my real hair. Ill be using your cornrow method for my parting because that is absolutely genius! Ill be able to keep count from my hair rack so that i know exactly how many when i am done. Thank you for this video!

    Your love look amazing. I did my sister super tiny and when it was time to retwist I did have to combine some together, only because they were to tiny. I noticed that when I started interlocking you must do the full rotation and make sure thetest rotation is going down to lay the loc flat. If you don't finish like that you run the risk of having the loc get knots and baby it becomes a mess getting the knot out .
