    I installed my braidlocs about three weeks ago. YAAAAAY!!! My experience has been soooooo different lol. I actually used to wear my natural hair in the plaits as a protective style ALL the time so wearing them now is no problem. It's one of my favorite styles! But it's so much better when done on non-stretched hair to me. It takes a little more effort but well worth it. I did them really small (because I wanted sisterlocs but not the price if them lol) and plaited as far down as I possibly could and the ends coiled. The first wash was soooooo awesome!!! I can't keep my hands out of my head feeling for new growth lol!!!

    Your braidloc journey is incredible! - Can I ask, after how long from braiding it did you begin to interlock? As I guess the moment you interlock is when your braids go from braids to actual braidlocs!

    I wonder if "the bump" in between interlocking and three strand braids sounds like a knot created by not pulling the entire shaft of braid licks all the way through the base center of each loc.

      You can also try using a 0.6mm crochet hook (without the latch) to loop in those frizzy parts. I will make a video showing how to soon.

      It depends on hair health, genetics, hair texture, hair density, and nutrition practices along with lifestyle, health, and fitness. It could take 3 weeks to 2 years mature.

    If you can remember, how many interlocks did you have to do for your hair bumps to look even? My shit looks like the rocky road of locs after 2 interlocks and I'm not trying to have this fluctuating loc look for mad time.
