The fact that you not only gifted us with an easy to follow tutorial...you answered every question in the comments AAAND provided encouragement. Like wow! My every concern was addressed without me even having to ask. Your hair is as beautiful as you! Thanks for all of it!
Me too! Thinking about coming my traditional locs out and starting micro locs. Not interested in paying thousands of dollars for something I can do myself. Thank you!
Girl this what meant to be because I JUST ordered this mirror from Amazon 5 mins ago and I type in starting your own microlocs and you’re the first video that pops up with this mirror. Yes girl!
I just started mine a week ago after seeing this video. I'm a bit nervous about retwisting in a 5/6 weeks but watching your journey gives me encouragement 😊
Just started mine 2 days ago. Transitioning from traditional locs to micro locs. Properly have 2 more days of work to go. Such a long tedious process but looking at your beautiful locs I know it will be worth it…
You are an actual lifesaver! I’ve been having so much anxiety about the grid pattern to use, and you just simplified it in a way that makes me feel like I can actually do this now!
Girl, you a tremendous job, I keep thinking about it a long time. After seeing your video I fall in love more with microlocs. Thanks I want to see more videos of yours. 🙏👍🏽
Hi! This is probably thee best installation video I've ever seen for diy microlocs. Funny, I just got this mirror in the mail to practice braiding/flat twisting. I just combed my microlocs out after having 3 locticians. I wasn't satisfied with any. This video & seeing that this mirror works for you makes me feel like if I loc again, I'm doing it myself. Beautiful job, subbed & followed on ig ❤
hi! i’m so glad you found this video useful, that means a lot. you can definitely do it yourself with patience and determination. i loveeee the mirror because it makes doing the back of my head so much easier. thank you thank you 🤎
I just finished my 8 year old daughter hair 4 day's ago and i started mines and i can tell you my hands are giving out 😂😂😂😂😂 ... Thanks for the motivation girl ... I stay on your videos just to not give up
Girl, you did a tremendous job, I keep thinking about it a long time. After seeing your video I fall in love more with microlocs. Thanks I want to see more videos of yours. 🙏👍🏽
I was so discouraged at other videos at prices and methods but I found you and I was encouraged thank you for your videos I am going to lock my yeah!!!!!
Wow wow wow! I am in love with your hair. I'm currently doing my research to start my Loc journey soon. I want to start them myself but it's the patience for me 😩 but I know I'll eventually do them myself. Thanks for showing us your process.
thank you thank you! it’s not as difficult as it may seem. i’d suggest working in sections and moving at your own pace. you got this, i believe in you 🤎
Started my journey with this video. I started two days ago, still have three sections to twist in between work shifts but excited and glad you shared this video😊
Hey love, you did AMAZING! I’m thinking about getting locs I’m so nervous…I originally saw you on Pinterest and that’s how I got here, your videos has inspired me to make my discussion. I’m so excited to start my journey very soon 💕💕💕
I've been looking at videos of people doing their own for like the past 6 months and I really wanty like this just don't have the patience or arm strength and just not sure ify hair is thick enough to carry this style always like microbraids and I like this even more cause it's your hair growing and they just look great
thank you! i’ve seen microlocs successfully installed on thinner hair textures. maybe try to find people with hair that is similar to yours so you’ll have an idea of how your locs will evolve.
Omg, I am in loveeee. I have been thinking about doing these microlocs and the cost for a long time....but now I can do em myself...I will be starting this journey!!! Thank you so much for the motivation❤️❤️❤️❤️ and your hair looks amazing🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!!
Honey chile I cannot convince myself to pay for these locs when I been doing my own hair almost 15 years now. In this moment I decided I’ll be doing my own microlocs😂
I’m gonna start mine soon 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾 I’m nervous AF lol. Yours look soooooo goodt! Did you braid the roots, then twist? Just wanna make sure…😊 ETA: You have BEAUTIFUL hair 😍😍😍😍
Amazing job.. I can’t wait to get mines done in 2 weeks I’m so excited and with the length of my hair in the middle of my back I pray I get that my hair length should come out good 🤞🏾
It good I loved how it turned out I didn’t want them too small but not to big because I know they still have to thicken up…..wondering if I should keep my curly ends or what 🤦🏾♀️
i’d say go for it. just try to do as much research as you can before starting. i ended up having to braid some of my short pieces around my edges instead of two strand twist.
I wanted to see how you parted the the front of your hair as well. I started mines a month ago but pull them out. About to do them back again but am looking for a good parting style. I don't really like the grid pattern.
I’ve started I’ve redone the same part of my hair 4 times because I just don’t like it, and now I’m starting to realise my parts are still too big but it’s very hard to tell, did you notice your twists changing size while they were locking? I don’t know if the size of the twist I’m seeing now ( not when I’m tugging on it, because it looks one size when I’m stretching it out by holding it and then another when I let it go it shrinks up and puffs out)will be the size of the formed loc. but I do worry about going smaller because of tension and weight, I don’t wanna be dealing with breakage or anything
i responded on instagram as well but im sure that the size of the part is the size your mature locs will be, at least thats what ive heard. im still very early into my journey so my locs arent mture just yet 🤎
@queentyquana thank you so much! So even like a braid-out maybe the day before just to stretch the hair would be a good heatless alternative to a blowout?
I believe that’s what she did. I’m getting microlocs at the end of the month and because I want to start with 2 strand twist my loctician will braid at the root then twist.
I’m a little unclear about the very first section you did ear to ear. Then you pre-parted into five cornrows. Did you end up adjusting the amount of cornrows?
Hi. I love your micro locks. I’m ready to start the journey as well but I don’t have the patience. I like how you were able to do it in parts and also at your convenience using the 2 strand method. After twisting the hair in two, do you do anything to it, or does it naturally lock itself over time.
hi, thank you! after installing the twists i interlocked them using a 2 point rotation. to maintain my locs overtime i interlock every 5-8 weeks. my hair naturally locks overtime but i do have to do maintenance every now and then.
@@queentyquanaHello! I love how you did your on micro locks and I ready to start my journey as well. When you say maintenance, do you mean maintenance on the part that is twisted and if so do you just take it down and re-twist the part that is twisted?
Hi did you start the twist from the root or braided it in three and continued with two strand? Love your hair by the way. Hoping mine turns out nice too ☺️
Beautiful!! Did you blow out your hair before you started your twist? Also did you go back and interlock them? If so what point rotation did you use? Thanks sis 😊
@@dahdah954 2 point- you entered the loc in the same 2 directions (north ⬇️ & west➡️ for example) 3 point- 3 directions etc etc. from what i understand they can give you different results & certain rotations are better for certain hair types. i’m going to try and find the name of the book that other loc queens have recommended for more info.
thank youu! & yes that’s the right mindset it may take a while but you’ll enjoy the results. i use a little murray’s twist gel, the water based one. you got this!
Beautifully done sis! I know you mentioned that you didn't use a grid pattern but can you recommend what technique you used to part the sections for each loc? The sizes looked so uniformed. I want to attempt to do my own microlocs but parting is my biggest struggle 😭😫
Hey love! I’ve been studying your videos and I’m ready to start my journey. Just a question about the Murray’s Loc Lock vs the Loc N Gel. Which do I use to start my locs? Does it matter? How do you use? Just a little on your hand as you twist? At the scalp? I’m a little lost on the how there. Also once I two strand twist and interlock. I’m assuming I should just be wearing a bonnet nightly and not washing or manipulating for a month. Idk when is the right time to touch/style.
hi beautiful, congratulations on starting your journey!! i’d suggest using the murray’s loc gel or something similar to that consistency for your twists. i just used a little as i was twisting down just to give the twist a little hold. i didn’t put any on my scalp. yes, wear your bonnet nightly and i waited 4 weeks before washing with shampoo but i didn’t spritz my hair daily. try not to manipula your hair a lot especially while it is wet because this will cause your twists to unravel.
Ok I have EVERYTHING now… but I paused. I have 2 more trips this year. I am a fish and live in the ocean . Last trip ends 12/5. I was thinking I should wait until I come back so that my hair can have at least 6 months untouched before my next vacation •. Thoughts? My first is in 9 weeks.
@@summerwillow4178 hm if you plan to get them wet often while vacationing id wait unless you plan on braiding your starters together and letting them dry in the braids every time (braid and band)
I plan on starting mine soon. I have a few questions plz answer if you can 😊. Did you use any products like grease or anything? 2nd did you braid the beginning on the loc a little then twist the rest ( I couldn’t tell). Last, you completed all the locs then wen back and interlocked? Thank you this will help so much
hi! i did use a little of murray’s twist gel when installing my twist. i didn’t braid the roots i just twisted them all the way down and interlocked once i was done installing all of the twists (the next day). wishing you the best on your journey 🤎
I keep doing two strand twists and trying to save up money to get them done. A part of me wants to treat myself and pay for it. The other part want to do it myself cause life keeps lifeing!!!! Lol. But how far down do you braid before twisting?

stretched with blow dryer
Love it!! You did a good job! I was planning on doing my own as well thinking of starting the weekend. But I have some short pieces of hair

What is difference between two strand twists and microlocs? Are terms interchangeable or one becomes the other @queentyquana
@@lindaallder3662 two strand twists are starter locs. so they are your vehicle to get to mature locs or microlocs (which just means small locs)
@@queentyquana oh ok thx. So I guess to start I want 2 strand twists. I liked how your hair was at the end.
@@lindaallder3662 yes, at the end i interlocked the two strand twists. you can check part 2 to see how i did it.

Thank you so much for this video! Do you recommend blowing out our hair before we begin the install or can we start on just freshly washed hair?
@@LynnTay-lz5nj i recommend stretching because it made sectioning and parting easier for me. it definitely can be done on freshly hair though.

I’m not sure if someone else already asked but, did you start the twist off with a braid?
she didn't braid the roots
Wowwww. Your hair came out beautiful
thank you so much 🤎
When you did your two strand twists, did you braid the root first. Or did you you just twist it from the root?
I believe that’s what she did. I’m getting microlocs at the end of the month and because I want to start with 2 strand twist my loctician will braid at the root then twist.
no, since i knew i would be interlocking immediately after i didn’t braid the root. i just twisted all the way down
Beautiful, how often do you toch them up?
thank you! usually every 6-8 weeks
These are so cute! How many hours did it take?
thank you! a lot of them but i’d say about 12 altogether. i finished them over the course of days
@queentyguana I have a question...Do you beaud the ends after you twist?

yes, wear your bonnet nightly and i waited 4 weeks before washing with shampoo but i didn’t spritz my hair daily. try not to manipula your hair a lot especially while it is wet because this will cause your twists to unravel.
@@queentyquana thank you sooooooo much. I’m super excited
Ok I have EVERYTHING now… but I paused. I have 2 more trips this year. I am a fish and live in the ocean . Last trip ends 12/5. I was thinking I should wait until I come back so that my hair can have at least 6 months untouched before my next vacation •. Thoughts? My first is in 9 weeks.
@@summerwillow4178 hm if you plan to get them wet often while vacationing id wait unless you plan on braiding your starters together and letting them dry in the braids every time (braid and band)
Ahhhhh I get it and I’m gonna wait until I return. Thank you, love!
Love your locs ❤how many do you have total
thank you 💞 260
Great job! I am inspired!
thank you 🤎🤎
Hi,
This is beautiful! Did you blow dry your hair or let it air dry prior to installing?
hi! i blowdried my hair to stretch it before installing
Thanks!!
Hey, did you use any product to twist your hair? I may have missed that part but I want to do my own microlocs like this with the curly ends
i used a little murray’s twist gel to twist down
Excellent job!
thank you! 🤎
You did a great job! Do you have to interlock immediately after you've twisted, or do you wait 4-5 weeks?
thank you! i interlocked immediately after i finished installing all of the twists bc i knew j was satisfied with the sizing.
Heyy!! I love your locs and I’m trying to start mine, did you braid at the root of your mini twist or do twist all the way down?
twist all the way down
Beautiful locks well done! How many locks do have in?
thank you sunshine, i have 260 loc babies 💞
Hello! Does interlocking after you’re done prevent slippage?
hi! it was just personal preference. some people braid the roots. i just went ahead and interlocked because i was satisfied with my twists
Wait so you braid it at the top the two strand the rest?
twist all the way down
Love your hair 🩷 what hair did you use?
thank you! no extensions, all my natural hair
I’M NEXT!!!❤❤❤
👀👀👀
@@queentyquana I said that bc I was inspired to start my own while watching your videos. I still haven’t started them😭😂but it’s coming at some point
Question
Why did u start on dry hair?
When u twist, are u just regular twisting?
i started on stretched hair to make the parting process easier. yes i am just two strand twist all the way down
Your hair looks fabulous Can you show how you used the mirror

ruclips.net/user/shortsWxUJPsRunQ0?feature=share here it is!
@@queentyquana Thankyou your the queen
@@spirituallylovingme-11 we’re both queens 🤎
So when it’s time for a touch up do you interlock them?
yes
Good day, did you start off the twist with a braid first?
hi, no i twisted from root to tip
I plan on starting mine soon. I have a few questions plz answer if you can 😊. Did you use any products like grease or anything? 2nd did you braid the beginning on the loc a little then twist the rest ( I couldn’t tell). Last, you completed all the locs then wen back and interlocked? Thank you this will help so much
hi! i did use a little of murray’s twist gel when installing my twist. i didn’t braid the roots i just twisted them all the way down and interlocked once i was done installing all of the twists (the next day). wishing you the best on your journey 🤎
@@queentyquana Awesome can’t wait!!! thank you so much beautiful❤️
I keep doing two strand twists and trying to save up money to get them done. A part of me wants to treat myself and pay for it. The other part want to do it myself cause life keeps lifeing!!!! Lol. But how far down do you braid before twisting?
i didn’t braid at all, twisted from root to tip
Thank you for the upload! ❤
Just wondering, do I need to put on loc gel on my hair before twisting?
you don’t HAVE to but since my hair was completely dry and stretched i did
