HOW TO INSTALL MICROLOCS | Interlocking Method Step-by-Step

[@JOSETTEBIANCA]

For those asking, here is the link to the tool used in the video. It was kindly sent to me by @nubianlocktool www.nubianlocktool.com/

[@lamishamoore-carroll3219]

What is the name of that white paper-like scalp/parting measurement tool your mom used? I'm preparing to start my micro loc journey.

[@FlorenceWangui-jb3ib]

Do you sell pins?

[@JOSETTEBIANCA]

@@lamishamoore-carroll3219 I got the idea from queeneleem’s channel here on KZbin.

[@NicoleKing383438]

How does one measure the parting?

[@PatinaLaNayJackson]

I’m getting established tomorrow and I was so curious as to how it’s actually done and this video was great for me to see a up close and personal view. Thank You!

[@AndohBannerman]

I'm loc'd. I've got microlocs. My locs turned 3 months last week. This is my second set tho. With my first, I combed them out after 6 months. I wasn't okay with how they were turning out. I wanted smaller locs. So I did the second install myself. Took me 4 days tho. I'm very satisfied with the outcome. Oh and I use 2 point because it's the easiest for me. 😊😊

[@JOSETTEBIANCA]

4 days is pretty fast for diy. Good for you!

[@AndohBannerman]

@@JOSETTEBIANCA Thank you for the compliment.🤗🤗

[@sandraross8642]

How long after you combed out your locs before you did your micro locs

[@AndohBannerman]

@@sandraross8642 I started the 2nd set within a week of combing out the first one

[@parisstarr7587]

Do you have a video of how you did them on yourself?

[@dee-deechatman1613]

I used your video to start my own Microlocs journey. You are lucky to have your mother do your hair for you. Cherish these moments.

[@misfitw9307]

Her mom is the real deal this is how it should be done beautiful work

[@lollypop724]

I’m 100% gonna loc my hair now. Thank you for this video!!!

[@toyastephenson5955]

That is true true love from a mother the way she is pulling it through. Her fingers is remarkable.

[@esthercelestin5161]

I finally found the perfect video to start my sisterlocks journey, because I have a lot of hair and long already, they want to charge me $1500.00. And I see why and the time it takes. But I'll do mine. Really detailing

[@chiamakaeze1272]

This video isn't sisterlocs though

[@sharsc1994]

I was quoted that also in march but that was a sisterlocks consultation. NEVER HONESTLY WANTED ANY ONE TO INSTALL JUST WANTED ASSISTANCE OR SUPPORT WHILST DOING

[@IAMpaigerj]

Hi, I want to install my own locs as well. Would you consider posting a video, because my concern is parting my hair in the back and controlling the sectioned hair as I'm locking it. Thank you

[@VS-dt5gy]

This is super helpful, thank you kindly! I did not understand what was being done to start the loc prior to the tool being used; but, your explanation plus the up close visual makes so much sense! 😍👏🏽❤️🙌🏽❤️ Your Mom is quite talented/skilled/patient/loving and wonderful! 👏🏽😊 Peace and blessings to you, your Mom, and the rest of your family! ✌🏽🧡💛

[@monicatetzlaff4320]

I work on my daughters locs. A friend in Ghana got them started when we lived there. She took a few out when she was younger and I want to fix those areas. She loves her locs and her hair is really coily like yours. So helpful to see how you start with your fingers.

[@blaquefaith4718]

I had locs from 2006-2018, cut them off end of 2018 and rocking short natural hair. Now I want microlocs, definitely would like more than 300

[@tonyaroyals6496]

I was doing my research and came across your video. Your mom did such an amazing job! I do appreciate this video! Actually, Im getting ready to start my loc journey. I just have to find someone that knows what they are doing..

[@xharmonyrose]

Im going to get micro locs and I’m excited I’m only 16 and I think it’ll be a perfect style for when I’m older, I wish I got them when I was younger but thanks for the tutorial 😊

[@milanwrld]

Yess I wish I started in middle school or high school 😭💔

[@MorenaDeRena]

Wish i could start them now😒 15, some ppl are haters

[@ms.virgo82187]

I am 2-days microloced! So I have a long way to go..lol. But I'm going to enjoy this journey and process. I also have 4C hair so I can't wait to see how fast my hair will actually loc!

[@JOSETTEBIANCA]

Congrats! ☺️

[@seritablack7735]

How long did it take to install your locs? Where they installed by a loctician?

[@ms.virgo82187]

​@seritablack7735 yes I went to a loctiction to install took about 10-hours.

[@EdMercedECV87075]

This video IS helpful, thank u ❤ Ive had two sets of locs and cut my hair completely mayb 3 times, and since the last cut I've just been rocking a fro or ponytail.. Recently i made up my mind to try locs again, but a smaller set. Sad to say i dont think there are any stylists in my county to do the job so its nice to check for inspiration and knowledge on microlocs on YT.

[@kendrarichards2287]

I just had a consultation today, and I'm gonna install them at the end of the month. I'm so excited to start my journey

[@sarahmiller1456]

I love you for this seriously!!! Your hair is so beautiful. This helped me loads and I’m saving so much money. Thank you so much!

[@Slayfear101]

Thank you for this detailed video! Best tutorial I have seen! New sub here❤

[@dellamack7756]

I'm thrilled that I can across your video, my hair is very short but I am definitely going to get my hair installed with micro locs, and just enjoy the journey.❤

[@ThrivingNotDying]

Im on my 2nd set of locs as well. And decided to go smaller with this set too. My first set was 78 locs which I had for over 9 years. My 2nd set is 180 ish and currently locked for a little over a year. I love locs! I use a 2 point rotation because my fine hair needs all the body it can get.

[@teenared6034]

This makes so much sense... only doing a 2 point rotation so the locs can fill out more! I have fine hair and have cut my locs off 3 times because I was just dissatisfied with the look... great advice.

[@trudypops]

I'm really thinking of starting over too 😢 I'm about to hit a year, time flew

[@qwietstormz]

Found your video researching. I've been thinking about locking my hair for a few years now, but I'm really leaning into it more. Your mom is amazing.

[@chitchats29]

Thank you 🙏🏾 restarting locs on my daughter this time with this method instead of traditional ones with two strand twists.

[@ronaldlynlatham5339]

I am planning to get microlocs and came across your video during my research prior to getting my microlocs. Your video was helpful with my understanding of the microlocs install.

[@JOSETTEBIANCA]

Glad it was helpful!

[@manecheiachristian9728]

I have watched all of your videos. Just combed out my 4th set of locs using comb coils. I didn’t like them they were too big and now I’m about to starts microlocs today. My mom will be installing them. IM SO EXCITED!!!!!!

[@JOSETTEBIANCA]

Ooo congrats! 👏🏾👏🏾

[@dellamack7756]

Thank you for the install, I want micro locks, hair is about 4 inches long,this video is very helpful to me.

[@kimietuck5287]

I want to do my own starter locs and this video is a good tutorial thanks.

[@brownwithcolors594]

Thank you so much for showing I’ve had 2 sets of locs and this time I want sista locs I will be purchasing the tool today your mom sure showed exactly how to install 😊

[@GoldenEtheralBeingsx33]

Yes yes I am looking to get my second set of locs but I came across this video cause I wanna micro loc my daughters hair too, gratitude. 💖

[@SoRoyalMeesh]

One of the best videos I have seen showing the beginning phase

[@nomvuyomorgan7872]

This is irrelevant but your voice is so soothing! I would love to loc my hair in about 2 years time

[@kclark6048]

Wow. Thank you, because nit everyone show the sets in detail. I have a client that wants these, however i have never done these locs before.😊🎉

[@Dvinecreations7]

I thought this was a beautiful process. Im in desperate search of a loctician who will be protective of my hair since I’ve taken sooooo much time and care in my own natural hair journey and I actually considered doing it myself but just know I don’t have the patience to accomplish the results I’d be looking for. Definitely found the video to be a enjoyable watch.Even saw it as a beautiful bonding time between you and your mom🤎

[@Tena0582]

Awesome video! I just cut my first set of locs a few months ago, but I want to do micro locs for my next set.

[@oluomalocs4964]

We already have locs. I'll be 3 years loced next month, and my daughter's microlocs will be 3years old in December. Fun fact: your first set of locs were my inspiration to get locs. I wanted mine that exact number and size. I ended up with about 240. My daughter's locs are more within the range of your new set. Thanks for inspiring 🙏🏾

[@thebalancedfamily823]

Wow, this is amazing. And I have found a new love for locs again

[@snethembamncwango195]

Wow the first vivid video of sister locks❤ thank you 😊

[@neshellerichardson1515]

Great video. She did an amazing job

[@zheraphyna]

I want to learn how to do this for my daughters hair so thank you for uploading this so I can learn how to do it! I know its not as easy as your mom makes it look but maybe I can learn it too!

[@Thisreadingcorner]

This is super helpful. Mine were installed by someone else but the bottom row slipped out almost immediately because it’s so much looser than the top and this finally helped me reinstall them appropriately

[@yolandar.759]

Very detailed! Thanks for the slowdown!

[@uniquepotts534]

I love this, so glad you made this video.

[@JOSETTEBIANCA]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MizizSmith]

Thank you for the video! I will browse your most recent videos, but I was wondering, what makes it a "4 point rotation" vs 3 point or 2 point? I wasn't able to catch the part that was "4" times.

[@ericayeboako6037]

Nice work , I'm watching from Africa Ghana, pls how do I get the needle for the installation, thank you

[@bettyeames6812]

I’m on my first set of locs. Surprised to see it’s been 5 months and I love my locs. I installed mine myself. I started with 2 strand twists so my hair shrank up a lot. I have 210 locs. i have tried 2 point and 4 point rotations for my reties. I hope to decide which retie method I will use going forward.

[@tonisimpson5718]

Thank u for this awesome video..straight to the point

[@ceehunt734]

I just cut my locs out and will be getting my micro locs installed Thursday. I can’t wait. My locs were not doing it for me.

This is by far the best explanation I've ever heard. Thank you so much!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

[@lwalker1995]

I want to start my sisterlocks journey really soon I am forwarding these about to be 48 years old I don't know what really took me so long but now I'm at the point where my hair is thin but there's enough of it to start a journey what type of hair would you recommend to start the journey off

[@carolineshivoche885]

Helo. What's the difference between siaterlocks and microlocks?

[@susanthomas5354]

Very helpful, I would love to try it on my daughter 😊. Thank

[@DEmpress88]

I want microlocs with interlocing to start off, I tried previously with braided roots and then 2 strand twist but I started to experience unraveling and foreseen alot of bunching in my future so I combed them out😩 now I still have that yearn for them and planning to possibly do it myself

[@miriamg5572]

Thank you for sharing the video. I want to get sister locs. I’m just looking to see what’s the best for me.

[@nancybrown9967]

I have locks, I just enjoy watching, all of the different, ways, how individuals start, I am a locticians myself.

[@biadefaturiyele8600]

Yes pls looking for a loctician in the Houston area thanks love your locks

[@andreamoore9286]

Congrats on your loc journey

[@shantellecrawford]

I have locs already, I cut them a few months ago but I’m thinking really long and hard about combing them out & get this instead since cutting them I don’t really like how they look now. Although I know shrinkage is inevitable but I think I’ll like these more

[@winniekiara6906]

Thank you for the video. I have locs 6 months now. Please let me the name and where to get the tool your mum is using.

[@JOSETTEBIANCA]

It was sent to me by @nubianlocktool on ig

[@Li-jz3lb]

Great explanation thank you

[@valeriecuffee_libra66]

I have traditional locs (on my 4th restart). I want microlocs but i want to attempt to do them myself and came across your video tutorial. I cant afford the prices they charge for installation. I just need to get this tool. I know i need it. I dont know which points I'll use but I'll figure it out.

[@francoisen6755]

How many days did that take? Wow!

[@JessAnn-qg5ed]

Thanks. Just starting my locs

[@EmeraldsHoneyComb]

What tool was that that your mom used to measure the parting space?

[@tracifick3019]

It looked like a measuring guide she drew herself with various widths.

[@EmeraldsHoneyComb]

@@tracifick3019 yeah i know lol I wanted to know the name of it.

[@EmeraldsHoneyComb]

Or if it was a diy

[@JOSETTEBIANCA]

It’s a DIY measurement tool I made. I got the idea from QueenEleem’s KZbin channel.

[@QueenMarsden]

On my second loc journey started December 24 finished December 25 .

[@thewookienatural3391]

I use a four point rotation. I did two and three on my traditional locs.

[@solo_Traveler55555]

This was the best investment for me.. team natural

[@milanwrld]

I really want to do my own but I’m so scared of messing up the base/foundation I do not want my locs breaking off due to the base being too small for the loc 😩I’ll want to two strand twist them thou, I might give it a try I love micro locs 😭

[@JOSETTEBIANCA]

As long as you take your time with the parting/grid you’ll be fine👍🏾

[@ms.anderson-place802]

Great informative video!

[@BalanceLifeBoss]

When you do your 2yr update. Or even a separate video, if this applies; could you talk about postpartum shedding. If any

[@JOSETTEBIANCA]

Yes once postpartum shedding starts, I will definitely talk about it on my channel.

[@pamelacole3960]

My hair is quite short and considering getting microlocs done by myself. Is it possible with short hair?

[@JOSETTEBIANCA]

Do you know how many inches your hair is?

[@LuveniaJoyner]

Hello, I just want to say; this video was so seriously useful for me. I am starting my loc journey. I wanted to ask, how long did this process take your mom, if I may ask?

[@oliette6833]

Did u spray your hair with water every day

[@JOSETTEBIANCA]

When they were first installed about 2-3 times a week

[@renaewalker5063]

I'm salt and pepper natural soft curly hair thinking about getting sisterloc but I'm not sure how it will look on me my granddaughter will do she thinks it well look nice with the texture of my hair I think I'm going to try 😮

[@debbiehutchins7101]

I would like to see a loctician. After cancer my hair came back a different texture. Very soft.

[@olubel8510]

For microlocs, can I do braids instead?

[@maeganbrim1600]

What's the link for that small needle?

[@cassandramueller6646]

I adopted 2 AA girls and have learned how to do crochet installs, box braids, countless styles with braids and bands, by watching thousands of KZbin videos but I think this would be stunning on one of the girls and would love to try. So, I have some questions for you: 1. Is it better when the hair is wet, damp or dry? 2. I saw you don’t use products in a comment, am I supposed to moisturize prior just not after done or not at all? 3: she has thin stranded 3C hair, is that strong enough for locs? I don’t want them to break off. Thank you so much for your videos and instructions!

[@CoachShanique]

Waiting for answers too. Good questions

[@B_4_PTALKS]

When I got my sis locs, my hair had to be dry and stripped of all oils. This is good for parting. My loctician did use a spray bottle when needed. It consisted of tea tree oil, coconut oil, and mostly water. This also helped with parting. No oils should he used for moisturizing the first year or at least until they lock. If dry scalp occurs, the tea tree and coconut water oil is perfect.

[@afrikurl]

Today is my 2 year loc anniversary. I have microlocs like you.

[@JOSETTEBIANCA]

Congrats!!

[@KekeLittleton]

I havd a question. Are you supposed to go in an order when interlocking? I thought you were supposed to go clockwise or counter clockwise all the way around? So what I mean is you loop from the top, then right side, then upward from the bottom, then left side then repeat .. if that question makes sense. I plan on doing them myself, I had two strand twist locs in the past but I didn’t like how thick they were. I want something that’s close to loose natural hair that I can also do other styles on. Haha should’ve kept watching the video, you answered my questions 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@Noelzia-STJean]

I’m get my locs right now and my excited

[@Banimsh]

Am gona do this to myself.thanks for this video

[@rebeamafe]

What an awesome and simple video!😊 thank you so much for sharing sis 🙏🏻❤️ how long did it take her to finish up all the locs?

[@opheliatorres374]

Thank you very helpful 💕

[@sebrinasidney5727]

I want some it’s just so hard to find the rite person in ATL to do mine sista locs but I’m loooking

[@Journey2sanctification]

So out of curiosity, can microlocks be started using either the braided, coiled, or two strand twist method? I have seen all the above and the one thing they all seem to have in common is interlocking.

[@choclitstorm]

I started my loc journey during the pandemic. I cut my perm out and stayed with an afro. 💇🏾‍♀️
