FIRST INTERLOCKING SESSION!!!!

[@g-max2810]

TyKara Ann sooooo why take out the word Sista???

[@TyKaraAnn]

G-Ma X because “sisterlocs” are a trademarked brand. The technique of interlocking is similar to that of sisterlocs, but I don’t have sisterlocs because my hair was not done by a sisterlocs consultant✨

[@g-max2810]

TyKara Ann what ???? Well I guess

[@barbarahogan5726]

TyKara Ann o locker tool has a mini micro loc tool I ordered a small and the mini one might be good for your edges or look on Amazon

[@TyKaraAnn]

Barbara cooper thank you! Just ordered that tool the other day!

[@rachelmm05]

Young lady please appreciate the time and devotion your mom put into installing and up keeping these beautiful Microlocs. If you would've went to a salon it would've been $250-400 easily. If your mom ask you to bring her a glass of water even if she standing in the kitchen, get up and do it😊

[@TyKaraAnn]

rachelmm05 i will❤️

[@Abmarp]

rachelmm05 more like $1,200 But I approve this appreciation post!! 😭😭😭

Hey there !!! First , let me congratulate you on starting your Loc journey!!! Your mom did an ah-may-zing job!!! I also installed my loc's via two strand twists ( It took me 3 weeks to do it all by myself!!!) And you are absolutely right about interlocking your two strand twists to make sure the loc is set and does not start marrying into other locs at the roots. Initially, it will take a while to re-tighten your loc's. But, after a while, the process gets faster and easier to do. I have a bit over 400 locs that I re-tighten just about once a month, and it takes me about two days ( working about 4 hours per day ). I can tell you now, you are really going to enjoy your loc's when they start to fill out and look more like loc's. And the wonderful thing about the size you guys decided on... you are going to be able to style your hair just about the same way you were able to do with your loose natural hair. Only difference being, you will never again have to worry about combing and detangling or having another bad hair day ever again!!! Congratulations , and thank you for sharing your journey with us!!!

[@TyKaraAnn]

Dai Chang thank you so much❤️

[@sonyam713]

I have 3 daughters ages 17, 13, and 12.. I took them to a loctician and started with sisterlocs ..it cost me about $2000 to do all three....I started retightening myself a few months in...they are now 2 years in and every 6-8weeks I do retightenings....their locs grew so much...I dont mind spending the time to do it..I also used 4 point rotation...I've saved so much money over the past two years...no regrets....

[@raiyne7795]

I do my own hair and I would kill to have someone else willing to do it that i trusted lol. Your mom is the real MVP!

Yup these look very similar sisterlock! I had sisterlocks installed but i dumped my loctician and have been doing it myself. It's definitely doable. I don't care about using thier specific SL method. I get compliments on my hair all the time and I look damn good 💪💅

[@TyKaraAnn]

Do u interlock yourself or do u use another method?

How is the SL method different?

For the ladies who are just seeing this video, Amazon hasa loc kit with several sizes of the tool in one packet for $8-$10 and TyKara your hair looks great! You mom is awesome for being supportive and helping you keep the maintenance of your locs up

[@TyKaraAnn]

Thanks!

[@CINOZMA]

You keep saying “we” your mom is a godsend

[@pixpusha]

Your hair is glorious. I love my mom and she tried her best with my hair as a kid but sadly we didn't have access to all this hair knowledge on social media that people coming up in this generation have. My edges came out (the actual hair follicles) and they will never be coming back. My self -esteem and confidence all are impacted. They way I see myself, the way I let people see me or who I let come close to me, all of that is impacted. So yes, your mom is a gold mine you don't know you have. Give her hugs and kisses, always forgive her and love her absolutely unconditionally. 🍩🍩🍩

[@TyKaraAnn]

pixpusha ❤️

[@mamalisa5178]

Your mom is doing a great job. I didn't install my daughter's locs but I do maintain them. Purchase a quilting needle for $0.99 (2pack) at a crafting store like Micheal's or Hobby Lobby. Stretch the eye of the needle at the base and curve it to make it easy to work with smaller locs. I keep a pouch of them for the 3 heads I do at my house, both plastic and metal. Beautiful hair BTW!

[@TyKaraAnn]

Girl the beauty supply store was selling that same lock tool for 1.99 for a pack of 10. I asked the asian lady if she knew what they were. She answerd, "BOBBY PINS" ...I laughed so loud🤣

[@cheriep9831]

Your mom did a good job on your install and re-tightening.

[@MsLoveofmoney]

Your mom is the whip. She did an AMAZING job on reti. "I see you girl..lol" your hair fresh 🔥🔥🔥🔥Ask your mom if she's going to take the sisterlock class. The more your mom does your reti, the faster she'll get. Before you know it, reti sessions will 2 to 3 hours

[@TyKaraAnn]

Shea Hinton thanks Shea💙 she does not plan on taking the sisterlocs class but we are looking forward to the reties getting faster😂

[@ehartmiller]

beautiful locks...Ive watched all your videos...i was researching micro locks b\c i didn't know how small i wanted them to be...im doing mine myself. My daughters have had sisterlocks for three years that I started and they were small like that. I started there's with micro braids, then started interlocking. I got sick and started letting them go to a locticion to do it....A NO NO!!! there locks started getting bigger. Now im back on it and and Im combing my locks out.7 months in and will do the microlock installation. Looking forward to your next video. You have a cool mom!!

[@TyKaraAnn]

Erica Miller thank you💓💓💓

[@drdluv]

Hi there. I’ve had my sisterlocks for almost 3 years. Your hair looks amazing, your mom is amazing lol. One thing I would recommend is to separate your hair at the root after the wash to avoid marrying at the root.

[@TyKaraAnn]

Diane Love thanks so much❤️ i will definitely pay more attention to that!

[@mayfulgal]

I've found that using a latch hook tool for the smaller locs are go-to and it helped me with holes and such since I did the 4-point interlock rotation. Best wishes to you and your journey.

[@TyKaraAnn]

Chanel Parker thanks Chanel💓

[@TEE18612]

Lololol! I knew it was going to take that long considering how many locs you have. Your mom has done an awesome job! I always like to divide my interlocking into 2 days so it won't seem overwhelming since I do mine myself.

Latrina Lenae yes! I was completely blindsided... I thought it would be 4 hours tops🤣

Your mom did a great job. That interlocking tool is a little on the large side. I was going to initially order it when I was prepping to install my microlocks but went with the nappylocks tool in the small size instead because I felt that it helped to glide through my hair easier.

[@mamasaidsew4843]

I did my own and my moms. I maintain both of our heads. It takes me about 5 hours to retighten my moms, and all day to do my own. For our edges I had the same issue. I found a video of a girl who got a large needle I believe it's a tapestry needle. You cut it down and take a screw driver and widen the eye of the needle to accommodate the loc. It works well and I use this to do the entire retightening now. Hope this helps.

[@TyKaraAnn]

yes! thank you!

[@VisionsOfDrama]

If been doing the interlocking technique on mine for ten years I use a basic $1.00 small latchhook needle. I NEVER let mine get to a place where I have to do them all in one sitting. I do twenty to thirty every week/week and a half so I don’t have them look unkept. I’m older now an due to medical an internal health reasons, color choices etc, my Locs are thinning in my crown (breaking my heart) I have cut and taken my hairline and top loose an will be starting a new set by January for my new journey as coming soon. You have inspired me to go from. Sister to Micro Locs. Thanks for sharing your journey.
