DIY MICROLOCS INSTALL | Interlock Method | Starter Locs | Can we consider these BROTHERLOCKS?...

In this video, I am installing microlocs on my brother's hair using my own microlocs template and sizing tool. I will show you step-by-step how I measure the size of his head, plan out his grid, and install his microlocs.
If you're curious about the process or thinking about getting microlocs yourself, this video is for you!
Throughout the video, you'll see the transformation of my brother's hair as we create a custom and precise grid for his microlocs.

​@queeneleem8136 I actually love the small locs it just look so full in neat I noticed guys will get mad if another guy say he want thin locs or smaller locs not everybody want big locs

I already knew that you were going to be as meticulous as you were with your own install....awesome job as expected ❤

This came just in time! I did mine back in April 2020 after finding your channel. Now I’m preparing to do my daughters hair and definitely don’t want to do them as small as I did mine.

[@lovebunnykaz]

what a wonderful gesture in giving your brother locs becuase tis veyr time consuming. I hope he appreciated it.

I would like to see an update on Carl's hair after a couple of months. You did a great job explaining the grid.

Subbing! I wanna see these updates 😂. I wanted Brother Locs, but went the traditional route

Omg… they look beautiful on you, I remember when you first started installing your locs.

Amazing,.....

His gair looks great!

Whewwwww y’all related! 😂 kinda funny towards the end when u finally see his face, it kinda looks like an AI boy version of u…but he’s real. 😂 cute video. Excited to see his journey.

[@latashajones3369]

Wow! His Locs look great. Nice clear directions. My hair has been in microlocs over 2 years and I love the low maintenance. I paid a loctician to install and maintain my Locs. I really need to learn to maintain my own locs. I could save so much money.

My DIY grid is very much like Carl’s, and we have the same hair type, but mine is less dense. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@QueenEleem]

Which starter method did you use? How do you feel your locs turned out?

[@nikkiall-smiles4943]

Niiiice

havent seen you for ages

Great job I have in the 300 range❤

How do you feel your volume is?

@@QueenEleem great question I did think it was going to be a concern but it’s been a year and they have really filled out lol and my hair seems to be layered or in layers so I love it. But I don’t do my own reties either🤦🏾‍♀️ I just can’t lol

[@veerudolph1966]

You both did an awesome job on Carl’s brotherlocs, can you please add the link to the acv rinse, I’m looking for one that’s effective. Thanks so much 😊

[@QueenEleem]

The recipe is in the blog section of my website Queeneleem.com

[@brianpeachy8456]

You should publish a book on your workings out please

[@adnaloy9025]

His texture is similar to mine, it seems (3c/4a). I have 328 locs and a lot of slippage. I wonder how his maintenance will be. I'm in the process of adjusting my schedule as well as what I do to maintain my microlocs. Leaving it alone, as people say, does not work for me because my roots LOVE each other and try to marry all the time, even from just working out (sweating).

[@QueenEleem]

Which starterlock method did you choose?

[@adnaloy9025]

@@QueenEleem I started with braidlocs and just interlocked the roots. Some of mine have completely unraveled after washing, especially my nape area and my edges. The top of my head is the loosest 3c hair and those roots try to marry every week!! I'll have only had them for 2 months now. *I am using a 4 point clockwise rotation, wanted to add that. I have done two reties (one full 4 point rotation each time) and I am probably going to have to go 3 weeks for now until my locs are actually loccd bc I never go tight to my scalp and my hair grows fast.

[@lovebug7319]

I have a question for the middle part what could we do to tweak it to not have that middle back line look ?

[@QueenEleem]

The middle line won’t show really after install. I always make grids where all the parts line up, like a sisterlocks/Brotherlocks grid, to give a person maximum styling options.

[@Prettyscorp80]

Wow, he looks just like your mom.

[@tinarjackson9844]

Please do like your sister... Don't style so much. Just leave it alone and TRUST THE PROCESS ❤️❤️❤️

[@zoelife7272]

his curls are pretty. i hope they dont thicken out to the point of looking dull and straight

we need Carl updates LMAO

[@NaomiLaBonita]

I finally got my microlocs. I wanted over 400...but the loctician insisted that sisterlocks and smaller microlocs "wouldnt work with my hair" so she installed 313 instead (I counted them because they never did). My hair is also 3b-4a, and I have a 4pt rotation. I'm only 2-wks in, and I have a lot of slippage and some gaps/holes in my locs already, she also left a LOT of hair out at the ends...like half the loc is loose hair in some of them. 🥲 Edited to add: last year (2022) I cut off 28in of hair (down to a tapered cut, bald faded on sides 3-4in on top), to start this journey, and started my install with 11-13in hair.

[@QueenEleem]

Dang I’m sorry. That’s something I would always talk to my clients about before hand. my new excel spreadsheet allows them to get exactly how many they want. AND we know exactly how many they will end up with. From what I’ve heard there are plenty of loctician that give every person more or less the same number of locs bc they don’t want to reti over 400 locs…

[@NaomiLaBonita]

@@QueenEleem I'm pretty sure that's what happened. I don't even think they used a predetermined grid, just a party as you go technique. But idk
