Either everybody and their MOTHER is locking their hair or I’ve just been watching too many of these videos because so many of them are popping up in my recommendations and I’m here for it!!! Good video 🧡

[@k.s.alexander9427]

Nope we're all diving right in, and lovin it😊

[@aleicianicole]

Lol my mom, my sister and I are locking our hair. My moms and i microlocs my sister regular

[@TheIsha826]

Nope errrrbody and they mama locking their hair. Joking😂😂😂but I feel the same. I've been watching a lot of loc videos too.

[@lovebeingmom]

Yeahhhhhh between braids hurting the time money Perms having so much annoyance and 50 50 chance idk If imma locking or getting a touch up Worse case may be gin with instalocs

[@camilleespy7395]

A little of both

[@itsmayaamor]

🔥 This takes patience AND then you’re doing it with a child and pregnant too?? 👏🏽👏🏽 🙌🏽 wow !

[@mstanish1]

Yes girl, pregnant with 18 month old and husband🤦🏽‍♀️ I kept thinking it was a mistake to take on such a huge challenge but I made it through.

[@Arun71150]

Supermomma! They look great 👍.

[@vanna7lawly370]

Me too..I took about a wk to finish!😬 It'll be a yr in December for me!🙌🏾😁

[@Lovemylife2424]

Tanish Fortson wow I had a 19 month old,husband and 11weeks pregnant tryna start my locs lol

[@MiwaTamu]

This is exactly how I am starting my daughter's microlocs on her 17 inch hair! Interlock the roots, twist the middle and braid the ends!! Haha. (We live in a village in Africa, I DIY everything🤭) So happy to see someone having successfully done it and with such beautiful results! Your hair is gorgeous 👏🏾😍

[@moniquecoke]

I love how you just popped back onto the scene with a hair video and casually announce how you are with a child and a toddler! congratulations!

[@mstanish1]

Ha, I know right!!! It was a lot going on and I finally have a bit of balance in my life so I decided to make videos again.

[@LaVenderlocx]

I have 3 babies so I'm too busy to devote time to my hair, I can barely shower uninterrupted!🤗 So micro locs are for me! I started mine jan26 I'm in love with hair.

[@mstanish1]

Lakiela Manning yes, my hair has been put in the back burner so this was the best decision for me. Plus I love the look of locs so it’s a win win.

[@naturallovesong]

You did amazing love! I self installed smallish interlocs for the same reason - didn't have that sisterlock coin!! I love my hair and I think you will too, the freedom and reduced haircare time is amazing for mothers. All the best for your birth if it hasn't happened already!

[@mstanish1]

NaturalLoveSong my husband thought I was insane even asking to spend that much money on my hair🤦🏽‍♀️ not to mention the 40 plus hours it would have taken... baby will be here in a few days🥰

[@CorporateNapps]

Loving them already! They are going to be stunning. I tell everyone to enjoy every stage because they evolve so quickly.

[@Tinkatat84]

Awww welcome! I went the sisterlocks route, paid the crazy price (my consultant quotes were over $2k) but 2 years later I couldn't be happier. Enjoy hair freedom!

[@ZaireBellaHill]

I am excited to see your locs as they mature! ❤️

[@vanessam3730]

Thank you so much for including your part sizes in the video! I'm thinking about doing 1/4inch parts on my hair when I start mine as well.

[@AyanaOLisha]

Gosh I remember I use to watch your micro braids videos when I was younger but I love that your locing your hair. I went the traditional route but I do enjoy looking at those that do micro locs as well

[@Ndiscreet76]

You and sister n law did that!!! I know you did the work but them parts are on point!!! 🔥 Welcome back, congratulations and TFS!!! 👏👏👏

[@Carterkid313]

Sis the fact you did this with child makes me even more motivated to knock mine out!

[@BalanceLifeBabe]

So glad I ran across this video. Was wondering how I could get this done being a SAHM with two of them being under three along with breastfeeding 😰 so motivational Thank you!

[@Only1Ceness]

Beautiful job. Blessings to you and newborn coming.

[@colcord1169]

I started with the the small locs as well and as time went on I combined many many locs I now have traditional locs.

[@NOTRUMPZONE]

I've been back & forth to this video for YEARSSSS now. It's something so soothing about it & rewarding after the results. Don't judge me...😂❤

[@AFREEME22]

Congratulations! Good to see you.

[@Channyboo9023]

These turned out so well!

[@ashleywilliams4149]

You have been missed ma'am!! Congratulations on living and growing in your life hon.

[@elizabethjean2709]

Straight to the point. Thank you for this!

[@leeceyleece2406]

I think you’re amazing 🙌🏿 You did such an amazing job and then to share it so that others can follow is big ❤️ Your hair and your locs look beautiful, before and after.

[@BeneGesseritWitch]

I was waiting to find this video. I knew you would end up doing it yourself and it would be beautiful. Thank you.

[@zoelife7272]

absolutely crazy challenge. good job.

[@lk2j938]

🦋I'm currently installing mini locs using two strand twist & I wish I would have done a grid pattern vs. Making up sections as I go. Ur way seems so much easier (although not easy, lol) I hope ur baby comes out healthy & happy🦋

[@TheHeartfeltHoney]

You did a phenomenal job they look great

[@ashantiroadtosuccess8620]

thats such a good idea..im going to get someone to part my hair and then finish because that was my biggest issue I was having doing them on my own.

[@dfletcher5100]

You’re really making me want to loc my hair just like this!

[@brithegoddess]

I know it's late but congratulations on your new little one! You're amazing and your hair turned out so beautifully. Peace & blessings to you and your family!

[@Misscreole21]

So happy you're back on YT!! I've been following on IG. You are my hair idol lol I started my loc journey almost 4 years ago. I got medium sized loc because sisterlocs were too expansive. I didn't know it was possible to start them on our own! Anyways... welcome back :)

[@mstanish1]

I thought sisterlocks was the only way to go but I found microlocs on Instagram and KZbin and decided to give them a try.

[@TheVargasShow]

I’m about to do my hair myself. Thanks for this detailed video!

[@emoja30]

Omg I remember you from years ago. Good to see you back

[@veroniquedusabe513]

You did a great job! Beautiful hair too!

[@kellya3162]

Absolutely love😍😍 You did them so small, you definitely made the right decision! I have sisterlocks but if I had your patience and knew it would turn out so perfect I would have definitely went this route!!

[@mstanish1]

Kelly A thank you. I really wanted sisterlocks😭😭😭 but this will do.

[@Luolabutterfly]

I've missed you! Congrats on the family, the hair's looking good up good up!

[@Elishea001]

When those mature your are is going to be soooo full and big!!! Can’t believe you pushing through sis! Great patience

[@tinterlight]

Great to see you again - long time!!

[@mamasaidsew4843]

I did small braidlocs 3 years ago this July and am never going back. It took me forever to decide to loc and then the price of sisterlocs was a no go. Found braidlocs a great compromise. It took me 4 days of straight braiding sun up to sun down. It was rough but it was worth it. Love them.

[@DanaLynnette]

I’M STARTING MY INSTALL TODAY!!!!! So excited ‼️ Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

[@christinemayes7823]

BEAUTIFUL QUEEN!!! AND CONGRATULATIONS!!!

[@Ummkelechi]

This looks great! Wow I want my hair like this

[@huniebon]

It's so neat and shiny!

[@Free2BeRiRi]

Beautiful job!💞

[@teenahmichelle407]

Whew chile! I’m tired and my arms are hurting just watching this! Great work!!

[@SimplyUniqueeTeacher]

WoW Great Job!! They're going to be beautiful locs

[@bambiaishalee2267]

Had to watch it again. Baby in the back is adorable.

[@karladenisethomas4339]

looks great I can't wait

[@nhansboro]

Wow! Looks great. When you showed your tummy I was so surprised, at 9 months I had an undeniable pregnant face.

[@mstanish1]

Nicole Jean lol, I usually don’t swell or retain a lot of fluids. But I’m up 30 pounds😩

[@mimistarsliver]

Well done Mama!

[@shawnnycollins4274]

It's so nice to see you back on YT!! Your hair has continued to flourish. I learned all of my natural hair routines from you Ms. Tanish.

[@mstanish1]

Thanks dear🥰🥰🥰

[@nnaturalheaven3754]

Oh Wow, You are an Inspiration! You also have some of the most beautiful micro-locs I have ever seen. I love that they are two-strand twists not interlocked all the way down and congratulations to you and your family on the new baby soon to arrive! Hetepu!!

[@mstanish1]

thank you so much.

[@CarolinaPrincess2K]

Impressive! I'm 9months now and needed a committed of locs bc I'm have 2 kids and my focus can't be on my hair for long periods of time. I just got my Installation of microlocs aka braidlocs this weekend. All the best for you!💕👏🏾

[@mstanish1]

Oh I’d love to see pics...

[@TankaVizion2]

I just have to say Siiiiiiis.... You DID THAT & beyond well!!! Congrats on your new baby... I wish you & your family the absolute best..You deserve a standing Ovation!👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽

[@mstanish1]

Thank you so much!!

[@rosahealthyhair8646]

Love it😁yesss, DIY😍😍 May your family be healthy and strong🤗

[@tjtanner9311]

You did an awesome job doing this yourself!

[@zanaibmuhammad8519]

Omg! I just did mine too and I've searched the heavens and earth for someone who recently started theirs. I did mine a day before yours. Good luck!

[@mstanish1]

Thank you. KZbin has been a lifesaver. I have been looking for both new and old microlocs people but I haven’t quite found the “look” I was looking for.

[@yjuaniastill9918]

You are talented. Your Locs look beautiful.

[@pajewa]

Great job.

[@Kodak718]

Wow. Amazing and so neat

[@jgirlchill5810]

You and your hair are so beautiful....you are my inspiration

[@flowers2127]

oooo these babies are going to be beautiful. As someone who started with braidlocs, 2 yrs later sister locs consultants stop me all the time thinking its sister locs. Good decision, u have saved hundreds of dollars and u will be happy that all that beauty is done by u

[@marsimone1]

Congratulations on your new baby. You did an amazing job. Your hair is beautiful. I can’t wait to see the maturity of your interlocks. I also started my hair with two- stranded twists almost 2 years ago, and my only regret was that I wish I started them sooner. I also did my daughter’s hair with braids and her hair length is the length of yours.

[@mstanish1]

Oh wow how old is your daughter? I’m also thinking of doing them for my girls when they get of age...

[@marsimone1]

mstanish1 I did her hair when she was in her senior year in high school at 17 yrs, now she’s 21 yrs old.

[@user-rb4gq2rx8n]

You did a great job ❤️

[@pinkrosesfly]

OMG youre BACK!!

[@helenlucka]

You're back!!!

[@TyKaraAnn]

Looks great ✨✨✨

[@sweetlilangel714]

Amazing

[@aimhigh4620]

You did that!!

[@nappilyevaafta]

❤️❤️❤️ So did you interlock the twist after you completed the entire twist. You did an AMAZING job!!!!

[@brittneylamar9864]

Omg!!!! You are back?!?!?!!? SUBSCRIBED!

[@preteyes]

OH WOW YOU ARE BACK!!

[@benjaminscameron]

GREAT JOB 👍👍

👍 GOOD JOB 🥰

Wow 😳 you did that girl 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 and fo FREE😂🤣😂 👍🏽 and you did an awesome job as well🙌🏽👆🏽💪🏽✊🏽💜

[@nubianshades1712]

So happy I found you. I’m starting my daughter hair today she has same texture as you

[@mstanish1]

How old is she? I want to do them for my daughter but she’s young.

[@yvetteoliver1055]

You did a great job! I'm hoping to get Sisterlocks at some point this year. I was quoted $3000 based on my length 17". That was via asking how much from a brand ambassador on IG. No Ma'am!

[@mstanish1]

Yvette Oliver ouch, that price is insane😲 I would never... a lot of people are just going the microloc route.

[@yvetteoliver1055]

@ms. gigi How long is your hair? I've never heard anyone say that they've been told that their hair is to long to loc and I'm in several loc groups on FB

[@Ndiscreet76]

OMG! I also want sister locks and my hair is currently 16in. I'm also preparing to do myself. Thus watching YT 😉 I can't afford $2k and up prices, I was quoted. I'm a kitchen beautician and feel@ confident that it will help me have a better appreciation for this transition, education and maintenance experience of doing it myself.

[@yvetteoliver1055]

@@Ndiscreet76 have you decided whether you're going to interlock braidloc or 2 strand twist. That's currently my dilemma. 2 strand twists would be easiest imo & interlocs would take the longest. I'm thinking about starting off with 2 strand twists to get my parts rt and a grid that I like and loc count that I'm happy with. Then changing them over to interlocs. That may be team to much but it's a thought running thru my head

[@Ndiscreet76]

@@yvetteoliver1055 Girl, we should collaborate and start a "getting started micro/sister locs" bizness! I am also leaning more towards the starting out with two strand twists transitioning to interlocking. I definitely want my grid to be on point to provide me with the goal of versatility with my locs.

[@saywhatsaywhat]

Wow, you are amazing! I cannot believe your patience to be able to take on this task in your current condition! I am super impressed. Very nicely done! Later, you could possibly make money doing others.

[@mstanish1]

Nah, I’m good, I don’t think I’ll be doing other people’s hair😩 it was a lot and I’ll have 2 babies under 2... I’m in survivor mode myself.

[@JeneesDiary]

Love your hair, this was a great video!! I have recently started my micro loc journey and have posted my first review on my starter micro locs in my latest video uploaded on my channel. I look forward to watching your hair journey!!

[@pinkygirl0323]

I’ve been looking for someone to do mines but with the length of my hair I know it’s gonna be pricey also, I’ve been looking into doing them myself so thanks for the Motivation there is hope, Lol, nice job, they are beautiful..

[@mstanish1]

You can do it. They are easy to install, you just need to lay the foundation.

[@mitylene_bailey]

Pretty!

[@esk2006]

Wow..yours look like instant sister locs ...

[@nibirue]

Girl, your natural hair is so beautiful you really grew that! I have so much trouble even getting past my chin length!

[@mstanish1]

Thank you so much!!

[@annytshilomba4107]

Wow your hair is just gorgeous, my question is when to start with the rotation?

[@jdella17]

It's beautiful and your hair is thick and long. Wow love it🥰😍😍

[@mstanish1]

Yes! Thank you!

[@ThickNCurly1]

💙💙💙is it a boy? Congratulations. Your hair looks great

[@kikifitzgerald3831]

Hello Mstanish1! You did such an amazing job! Great work and lovely that you have such a supportive sister-in-law who came over to help. Bless her! I know you've got micros now but please, please, please could you do a video at some point on the fave natural hair products you used during your time off KZbin. There literally wasn't a single product you used on your hair, that my hair didn't love and would love some new recommendations. Really hope you see this. No rush obviously, you have 2 young children and a hubby to look after. I'll be patient 🤗

[@mstanish1]

I wasn’t a product junkie so my staple products was all I used.

[@nuturemynatural]

Awesome job I would like to see you do the actual locking... What method are you using?

[@antiaadamsmumford9723]

Beautiful work! What hair products did you use to install the two strand?

[@anastaciacecilia9138]

How did you come across the parting method was there a guid you used for reference?

[@yltnaillirb4438]

You look so beautiful here💜! I hope all is well with you and your family sister:)

[@mstanish1]

thank you

[@theekaylalashay6030]

How long did this take they look amazing

[@leslynlacey]

Love this video bc I’m thinking about getting micro locks but why would you lock your hair r

[@SNUPE_FOXX92]

Yeah I got quoted like $900-$1000 for me to get instant locs, and that was with my OWN hair, no extensions. My hair fairly long , APL when it’s loose, so it would have cost an arm and a leg, so I ended up doing them myself 😊

[@AuthenticTruthSeeker]

LOVE your hair absolutely- GORG! I caught that you said that your hair sections in the back were 1/4 of an inch. Can you tell me the size you went with for the front, sides, and middle of your head? Also, how many total did you end up with at the end?

[@amberwaiters1125]

Yassssssss!!!

[@Mrs_Canary]

My sisters cant part so I'll b f*kd up. Interested n ur journey. Microlocs r so nice

[@tjtanner9311]

Your hair is so beautiful

[@angelnelson2012]

Awwww look at your belly im new to the channel you prob had the baby by now congrats!!!

[@mstanish1]

Yes! Thank you!

[@praisehimnetworktwashingto254]

Looks great! 😊 Did you interlock roots during the install or only when new growth?

[@mstanish1]

only for new growth

[@naturallyme_t1804]

That’s so amazing! They look beautiful! Did you use a tool to install them?

[@mstanish1]

yes.any loc tool would work.
