I don't even try to finish within a set amount of time lol. I'll do one section today, another section 2 days later, the whole half of my head when I have a chunk of free time over the weekend...If you don't try to keep a serious schedule then you can't disappoint yourself with your speed 🤣
That's where I'm tryna get. Mine will be a yr in April . I'm switch from the 4pt to 3. I got 5weeks tried 6 but I workout 4-5 days a wk & my head was like "you knew better"lol
❤️❤️❤️. Your locs are gorgeous. Interlocking is a beast 🤣😆. I feel your pain. But it looks so good afterwards. I started to interlocking my ends as well because of the unraveling.
I noticed the more I interlock my locs, the quicker I get. I started taking about 2 days to do them…now I can finished my entire head roughly 4-5 hours and that’s because I like to take mini breaks in between. The tool used also makes a difference…But it looks really good!!!
Same. I thought I would be one of those people that does a 12 hour retie in one day just to finish it. Like we're going 8am to 8pm and we're done! Nope. I greatly overestimated my motivation. Sometimes I only want to do 2 hours of retightening a day and it is what it is. It gets done when it gets done! 🤣
I also did install myself and oh my oh my, the things i found out at the first self retie.. it took a wholeee weeekk, imma train my sis or a friend causeeeee
I’m so glad I stubbled across your channel. I’m getting ready to lock my daughter’s hair. I plan to do two strand twist and maintain with interlocking.
Your micro locs are beautiful!! Did you find a Loctitian? I’m in Fayetteville NC and I’m looking for a Loctitian as well😊. I started my micro locs April this year . It’s so time consuming for my retie as well. I just need a Loctitian too! I will drive to Raleigh It’s not far if you found one . In Fayetteville It’s hard to find one that are taking new clients. Please let me know if you found one. 😊help a sister out lol
Florence is about 45 min to an hour from Fayetteville. She started my mom locs. I have know her for over 20 years and she's been doing hair about 25 years. She's very knowledgeable.
I just did my first retie. I just worked for an hour or so at a time or u til I got tired. I think it's great to not have any set time it has to be done in. I'll never have anyone else do it cuz I hate people touching my hair.
@@SpechelNicole thank you! I’ll be starting my micro lox journey and I’m inspired by your fullness. Did you use a certain patter? Or did you just freeform it?
@@Shaladash I followed a grid pattern. I share some photos in my first DIY microloc update video. It may be easier to understand rather than me explaining lol
yes self reties are tiring, and take forever. I am almost 6 months in and I already found me a loctician, in fact cause of where I reside, I found two cause they book up so fast.
Serious hair crush!!! WOW! I knew when I was doing my research that I wanted nothing to do with a retie. Ha!! I happily pay my $120-150 every 5 weeks! I am 7mths old as of now! Best decision ever! It will have to be the rapture that stops me from getting to my loctican for a retie. No madame!
@@queencharles3527 that’s the same question I had…honestly I think I’m gonna start mine my self…then as they start to mature I was gonna go to a loctian.
The 2 first reties took me like 2weeks of this ALL DAY. I was done with this, I did microlocs so I could have more time! So I combined the all, now it takes me a week, still a lot but better then before ig
Hey! I don’t have many issues with marrying/growing together. But whenever I wash my hair I try to make sure I go through and separate any while they’re damp
Yeah I tried it myself and ended up locking 2 together 😢 My loctician will be doing it from now on because I clearly don’t have the technique down lol 🤦🏽♀️

Lol that is a good point. Maybe I will try it that way the next time!
I do the same thing
I like it when the locs still look like twists.
Thank you!
Wow I'm so surprised how many of ya'll are struggling to re-tie your own hair!I have about 500 locs but it normally takes me 6 or 7 hours to do it!
How long do you go between reties?
@@spacecase7566 Six to seven weeks.
That's where I'm tryna get. Mine will be a yr in April . I'm switch from the 4pt to 3. I got 5weeks tried 6 but I workout 4-5 days a wk & my head was like "you knew better"lol
@@Gullah_Geechee_Tarot Well early locaverisary to you 🥳lol I know super early 😂
Whaaat??! What’s the secret
Girl, it took me 7 days to finish half of my head! Starting on the second today because I just found my favorite loc tool! Lmaooo🙄
Ohhh what’s the tool sis 👀 put me on game lol
Give me the secret too
Me three
Me 4
Hello hello what’s the secret tool Queen I need to start learning on my own
The retie- this is the reason why I'm reluctant to get micro locs.
❤️❤️❤️. Your locs are gorgeous. Interlocking is a beast 🤣😆. I feel your pain. But it looks so good afterwards. I started to interlocking my ends as well because of the unraveling.
Interlocking is a beast and how has interlocking the ends been going for you?
@@SpechelNicole I just started interlocking the ends this week and so far it’s going well. I still have a lot more to go.
@@melflan3211 that’s good! I have some more I need to do myself. Good luck on finishing!
@@SpechelNicole thank you. You too
You look so pretty. I love your hair,
make-up, blouse, and earrings.😊
Thank you so much 🙂
Beautiful set of locs!! They will continue to thicken (but yours are already gorgeous)!
Thank you!!
It looks good, it takes time to get there. Well done.
Thank you!
You’re a good teacher. Great demonstration and commentary. Thanks 🙏🏾
thank you! and thank you for watching!
This video could not have popped up at a more perfect time 😩
it's that time of the month huh? lol
I LOVE your style + your locs are gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much! That means a lot coming from you!! 🥰❤️

I've gotten better over time as well!
What tool do you prefer?
@@ogechio1609 I find myself alternating between the London loc tool and a smaller interlocking tool depending on the size of the loc.
Girl it takes me like a week I take my slow time
It is a full time job! Lol
Same. I thought I would be one of those people that does a 12 hour retie in one day just to finish it. Like we're going 8am to 8pm and we're done! Nope. I greatly overestimated my motivation.

I also did install myself and oh my oh my, the things i found out at the first self retie.. it took a wholeee weeekk, imma train my sis or a friend causeeeee
It’s definitely some hard work. I’m def considering getting a consultant to do mine.
I’m so glad I stubbled across your channel. I’m getting ready to lock my daughter’s hair. I plan to do two strand twist and maintain with interlocking.
Welcome! I hope you find my videos helpful! Thanks for watching!
I have 410 I'm now able to retighten them in 2 days & sit right on the couch lol. April will be a year.
So you don’t need a mirror? Do you just watch tv when you retighten your hair

Thank you! And no I haven’t really looked. I think I’m just going to keep maintaining them myself I’m a little nervous to let anyone else do it
There is a loctian in Florence SC. Her name is Tammy Hickman. She's in 2nd loop..she's good.
Florence is about 45 min to an hour from Fayetteville. She started my mom locs. I have know her for over 20 years and she's been doing hair about 25 years. She's very knowledgeable.
You're so beautiful - love your style..
Great locs! 👌🏾
You’re so sweet! Thank you! 🥰
Love your locs! Plus you cuteeee!
Thank you girl! Don’t hype me up 🤣
@@SpechelNicole For real🌟
@@NanabianB thank you so much!! 🥰
Your hair is beautiful 😍
Thank you so much!
Ive been trying to retwist mine for a week lmao! My head is so big and my hair is so dense it’s crazy
I just did my first retie. I just worked for an hour or so at a time or u til I got tired. I think it's great to not have any set time it has to be done in. I'll never have anyone else do it cuz I hate people touching my hair.
I understand that
What camera do you use.. Your videos are beautiful
Thank you! I’m actually recording with my phone 🥴. iPhone 11 Pro. And I use the rear camera
Yayyyy!!! Go girl!! 😊
Thank you ❤️❤️
So pretty! How many locs do you have?
Thanks girl! I am not sure right now I have to recount, but I started with 324
@@SpechelNicole thank you! I’ll be starting my micro lox journey and I’m inspired by your fullness. Did you use a certain patter? Or did you just freeform it?

Dr.Loc cut the friz EXTREMELY
I’ll have to try that. Which product?
Sampoo, conditioner, and locking spray.. But there is a $25 travel kit so you can try the line
@@ardralocs oh that's a good deal! thanks for sharing!
I published a video letting everyone know that it took me 6 days to complete my retightening. I understand. I am a #newsubscriber.
it's rough in the beginning lol thank you for subscribing!
Do you get knots down the shaft of your locks after interlocking so many times?
You can retighten my hair anytime frfr!!!
aww thank you!
Serious hair crush!!! WOW! I knew when I was doing my research that I wanted nothing to do with a retie. Ha!! I happily pay my $120-150 every 5 weeks! I am 7mths old as of now! Best decision ever! It will have to be the rapture that stops me from getting to my loctican for a retie. No madame!
Hahahaaha! Rapture???? Danggg!
Lol it’s not so bad now I just had to get used to it
Thanks for watching!!
Did you start them on your own? I'm trying to figure out if I sgould go the salon route or not..
@@queencharles3527 that’s the same question I had…honestly I think I’m gonna start mine my self…then as they start to mature I was gonna go to a loctian.
Did you say 3months.."?
Ur hair is so neat,,!
Lol thank you!
Can you retwist microlocs instead of interlocking?
I believe it’s possible. I’ve seen a couple RUclipsrs do it. Interlocking is just beneficial for my lifestyle
Thanks they are beautiful and healthy
Thank you!
They look really good
Thank you so much!
I love your locs ❤️
Thank you so much!
I paid for 2/1/2 to get it done. And for 4years i have been doing it myself.
I've gotten used to it now, it's not as bad.
Do u use oil on your hair & do u use conditioner on your hair
I do use oil but I don’t use conditioner
@@SpechelNicole it’s oil harmful to your hair would u say
@@portiamckinney5501 i don’t think so. I don’t use as much as I did with my loose natural hair tho. I just oil my scalp
Usually the back of the head is always longer than the front
The back does take me longer too
How many locs do you have
Hey Raquel,
I dont know the exact number because I did separate and combine some locs after my install. But I started with 324
Can someone explain to me why I need to start with two strand twists and then when does it eventually loc ?
You did a great job
Thank you so much!
The 2 first reties took me like 2weeks of this ALL DAY. I was done with this, I did microlocs so I could have more time! So I combined the all, now it takes me a week, still a lot but better then before ig
reties are a beast! thats a good that things git better!
How long do u wait to do your retig
I usually try to retie my hair every 5-6 weeks. Depends on how it’s growing
Never going to do my own retire just too much
Soo cute 💕
Thank you!
Had to be realistic with myself and only watch videos that are most like my hair!
My first time has taken me 4 days. It is hell
That's why I have mine done by a loctician. I don't have the patience!😜
I take 3 to 4 days to retighten 😂 I take such a long time
it is such a time consuming process!
How do you stop them from growing together between your retightenings?
Hey! I don’t have many issues with marrying/growing together. But whenever I wash my hair I try to make sure I go through and separate any while they’re damp
Yes it is
SKIN SKIN. CAN WE TALK ABOUT UR SKIN. woooow. I was off for a jog and got distracted
Awww thank you!!
So cute lol😍😊😊
Yeah I tried it myself and ended up locking 2 together 😢 My loctician will be doing it from now on because I clearly don’t have the technique down lol 🤦🏽♀️
I’ve really been considering getting a loctician because this is some hard work!
I will not be re tying my own locs. I will gladly pay good money for a professional loctitian
Same!
Too tight
Thanks for your input and thanks for watching!
