How to Interlock Locs | VERY Detailed Tutorial

[@Oonagh72]

I like the fullness the 2 point rotation gives you. Very nice.

[@shamesehinton8789]

Same and it’s harder for me to remember

[@Sin-tr4ie]

Thank you sm. I’m on month six of my starters and a retwist doesn’t last more than a week with my hair type, even with going to professionals, after seeing this video and seeing how long you’ve went in between I think interlocking is my way to go

[@Ms.Janell6669]

THANK YOU!! for posting this. I didn't know this tool even exist. I've been using a safety pin for my daughters hair, and it often gets tangled. This is a life saver. Hugs!

[@SincerelyNatashaxo]

😍😍 You did a really good job I need to stop being lazy and save my money interlocking myself

[@wildpassion1972]

There is a trick to it got to be careful, sometimes locking can cause damage and thinning of the root.

[@tanyasmith2676]

This was the BEST video. I thought you always had to do a 4 point rotation which was a little difficult but the east/west and north/south rotation has me zooming through my hair. THANK YOU

[@latrellwhite5499]

I’m brand new on this journey. I’ve watched a great deal of your videos, and they help me decide to quit procrastinating. I’ve still been trying to learn more about interlocking. Thank you for this video. I was also worried about loose hairs, and I’m glad you covered that as well!

[@KailaJ]

You’re welcome! I’m glad you found the video to be helpful. Best of luck to you on your loc journey😊

[@hadiyahs.8445]

Very neat and detailed 😍 I started my journey 3weeks ago with mini braids but I plan to interlock my roots once it’s time. You made my decision to use 2pt rotation so much easier!! Looks quicker and just the same as the other rotations thank you 😊 and GREAT JOB ❤️😎👍🏾

[@ablabe]

This is exactly what I did. I'm almost a month in but I think I should go ahead and interlock because my braids have grown out so much. How did it turn out for you?

[@mzdia8396]

Girl Yas. I currently have regular locs and want to transition it into doing this! I needed this. Thank you!

[@TwerkinnPandaaa]

How did it work out for you ? I have the palm roll method locs and wanna transition to interlocking to save $$ !!

[@Tajwife22]

Yoir hair is BEAUTIFUL....They look REALLY good! Im 4 weeks in...loving this journey so far!

[@michellesmoot5804]

GREAT VIDEO!! I LOVE YOUR HAIR!! I started my loc journey almost three weeks ago, very excited and ready to see the budding!!

[@celexusleye]

Just did my interlocking last night and I’m super satisfied with the results ❤️. Thank you so much

[@flyscorp1773]

OK. I've been trying to figure out how to find out where I interlocked last. If I'm right, if the new growth in the root is flat then north was my last position. If it's more vertical then it's from the side. I hope that makes sense.

[@KailaJ]

Yep!!!’ You are absolutely correct. I was worried you all wouldn’t be able to follow along because it’s kind of hard for me to explain unless you have interlocked before but yes, you are right!!!🤗

[@41ayo6]

I'm having issues with trying to se what side an individual lock was interlocked . Any tips ?

[@fanssywd5522]

Oooh. I see. Big thanks to both of you. This comment. And the video.

[@jadebethj]

I just did mine today with a tool like this. It's been great. But you said it's been 4 months. -what do you do in between to keep the hair from sharing between dreads? Mine does that so often.

[@Hexa1123]

Your hair looks sooo healthy and thick!

[@nappystylist662]

They look amazing and so full and healthy

[@TheThomasMom]

Your locs are coming along so well!

[@sherisseblenman9705]

Very good video. I'm curious, how would I be able to tell which direction my locs were interlocked last?

[@kymmicooley2555]

Sherisse Blenman If you place your finger in the new growth, you’ll see a gap at either the side or the top of the new grown hair. That gap indicates the last entry point.

[@tashaburgess3753]

Yessss this my question!!

[@tashaburgess3753]

K Cooley I haven’t started interlocking yet. I am just going on month 2 of having locs. I plan on interlocking before my 3 month loc anniversary. I want to do the 2 point rotation because it looks simple and that is what usually works for me. My plan is to feel the root every time I do a rotation so that I can try and be able to know where I left off but I’m not going to lie I am worried I might mess up and put holes in my locs. 😩 I am just trying to do as much research as possible to build my confidence. Thank you so much for the information it is truly appreciated!!

[@celexusleye]

Just feel. I was wondering the same thing until interlocked mine last night.

[@dianew251]

Thanks for the clarity. I am being paranoid though. Just making sure, where you feel the hole, that’s not where you start?

[@humblelife7136]

Looks good! You do a great job. I can't seem to stop myself from picking up hairs from neighboring locs!😞

[@Sci-Fi_Fan296]

This was amazing! You have some great teaching skills! I'm saving me some money and learning this myself! Thanks!!! :)

[@cybilrichmond3886]

Have you always did the 2 point rotation? Do you have an issue with the "Y" at the root?

[@wtfnowwhat1]

I didn't even watch the video yet but what I do know is your hair is BOMB!!!

[@tayswrld990]

Great video very informative! When you say feel for the last direction what are we exactly looking for ? Lol hopefully my questions makes sense

[@DivineSoul999]

Yayy!! The video I been waiting on. Greatly appreciated!

[@KailaJ]

You’re welcome 😉

[@colleenr.khurana5676]

Your locs are awesome 💜. I have lots of fly aways at my root, but when I interloc myself it doesn't look as neat. What can I do?

[@KailaJ]

I like to take my time and wrap the fly aways around the loc. After I have wrapped the loose hairs around the loc, I interlock it to secure it in place. This has really helped me especially at the crown of my head and along my edges where the hair is a looser texture. They always seems to stick out like a baby bang 😂and its sooooo annoying! but that what works for me. If you give it a try, let me know how it works out!

[@PianoLessonwithWarren]

Nice 😊 what are some of the hair products you use?

[@tayymarie3524]

I lovvvvee your locks and how they lay!

[@nissyniss9255]

Great video! I had my first round of interlocking at the salon this week and it was a disaster. So I’m thinking of doing it myself next time. How often do you interlock you hair? What maintenance do you do in between?

[@cassandraperkins8763]

Don't pay someone to destroy your hair! You can give it TLC- most others just care about the $$.

[@mamabear2020]

Yeap I feel your pain I’m going through the same disaster

[@vanessagaines7244]

Your hair is so lovely I wish I could do my hair that way

[@FastGal]

When you interlock do you push the interlocking needle through at your root or at the top of the new growth next to the loc’d hair

[@maiyonnah.3983]

I’ve read close to the loc’d hair so that there isn’t holes created (also did it close to root and it indeed left a hole smh)

[@Endoftimes9]

You are so pretty! I really like that technique. Thank you!

[@KailaJ]

Thank you and you are very welcome!

[@javornvllfn]

How do you know what direction you went last?

[@dontdomeboo81]

I have to do mine once a mo new growth is out of control for me I have 300 micro locs

[@jetblack5168]

Great job and you look nice btw this length is everything.

[@Huedra.]

My mother is threatening to carry me to a salon ( some salon people act like my hair isnt attached to my person) to do my hair cause she tired of doing mine. So your video is a big help.

[@Jaetootrill]

What a beautiful woman with a beautiful set of locs😍 Great video, this is exactly how I interlocked my locs and I love it! +1 Sub

[@LatriceSydney]

i love the way they turned out ✨🧚🏿

[@kymania.c.915]

Just started my locs on Christmas Eve with 2 strand twists. I think I will my make my bottom 3-4 rows a little smaller because this journey was impromptu and I made those rows slightly bigger than the rest, but I’ve been stuck between interlocking and retwisting.. I’m leaning more to interlocking because it just seems like it would last longer and I like washing my hair once a week because of my scalp

[@barbarajennings4321]

Wowww. Where can I buy the needle you are using to interlock? I need one.

[@kjernigan7010]

Great tutorial! I was able to immediately apply this technique.

[@gil_batista_]

One doubt pls, I can interlock just north to south and east to west ? Or I need to finish south to north and west to east?

[@katskakes4you408]

Love your locs. Thanks for the link.

[@thehobbymommy1711]

I would LOVE to interlock, but I can't get used to the knots that it leaves in the locs. BUT, it'd suit my hair better than retwisting, cause my locs are thick. Nice locs by the way!

[@KailaJ]

Thank you!

[@thehobbymommy1711]

How do you deal with the knots? Like are your locs bumpy and thinner where you interlock?

[@DivineSoul999]

@@thehobbymommy1711 Yes it will be. Hers isnt because she been interlocking. I'm 4 months in and I've been retwisting so I'm nervous to start interlocking.

[@rytheedreadhead]

I have a question, my first two retwist with my stylist started with interlocking my hair, should I always start with interlocking or can I retwist it also myself with a palm roll?

[@Whereselii]

Same

[@felicitysamuel2538]

I just started my locs yesterday

[@SimplyNieccee]

I love it! Now I’m torn between these and sisterlocks! 😩

[@deegeorge5711]

Lemme try and help you out: SL cost you MUCHO money (installation /maintenance). Some SL locticians charge by the 1/2 to the hour and if you've got some length during the installation it's going to cost you more to install. You have to sit in somebody's chair in somebody's house (not many in a salon) for hours having them do your hair. I know 'cause I've been there and done that. These DIY twists? Cost you nothing but your time.

[@tanyalewis909]

U got a lot of bunching in your locs. It looks beautiful

[@classassignment3643]

This is a great video! How many months into your loc journey were you when this was recorded? And did you start with coils, two strand twists or braids? Thank you!

[@tamarialakayye]

Hey hun, Do you think this rotation would work well with smaller locs?

[@KailaJ]

Yes I think this rotation would be great for any size locs😊

[@nicky6579]

Can you interlock with larger locs?

[@JustReachel]

I’m a subscriber, great instructions ❤️

[@Iamtequilabnatural]

How are you able to determine which direction you went in the previous time you interlocked

[@deegeorge5711]

If you always finish your 2 point rotation (the last rotation) with the hair pointing down then you know to start your re-ti the next time going side then down. Always end in the same direction on every loc. Always start your re-ti in the same direction on every loc.

[@butyoucancallmesam]

butyoucancallmesam yes. Re-ti

[@butyoucancallmesam]

[@deegeorge5711]

[@5Milfam]

after you’ve done this do you have to undo or it will grow out? sorry if the question is stupid?

[@KailaJ]

No question is stupid but no you do not have to undo it. The new hair that grows out will also be interlocked and the process will be continued

[@5Milfam]

Kaila J thank you so much!

Love The Tutorial I have interlocked Locs together what's your solution for getting them apart?

[@pamariesmith677]

NATASHA TERRY STEINER did the same thing yesterday. Mine are only 4 months old so I just combed them both out and used a crochet needle to make both instant locs all over again.

[@jamarsmith5833]

How can you tell which direction you last interlocked by just feeling the loc?

[@moniquemartin6886]

I hve the biggest case of loc envy or loc love for your locs!! 😍😍I decided last month after watching nearly ALL your loc journey videos that I wanted to loc my hair in the same matter as yours.. I hvent yet😬🤷🏽‍♀️ bc I can’t figure out a few things.. 1) How in the world did you get your parts soooo straight?? (Bc my OCD wont let me be great when it comes to parting in the back🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️) 2) How did you section your hair when starting your locs (didn’t see detailed info on it in any of your videos) Right now, I hve a tapered cut & I wanna keep my undercut & loc the rest BUT I also hve a nice patch of hair missing on the crown of my head bc of my lupus & an allergic reaction to synthetic hair (I believe). Soooo could you share some tips on how you sectioned your hair, How you keep your parts soooo straight when starting & retightening your locs. Anddddd, maybe if you have some tips on how to conceal thinning or bald spots, that’ll be GREAT!! Ok, I think that’s it 😂 I’m stepping away from the mic 🎤 now 😂👋🏽👋🏽Take care!!

[@triplejsmomma]

Did you start your locs with 2 strand twists?

[@cassandraperkins8763]

You and your locs are lovely! Just the size I would like- how did you start yours? I thought interlocks was combining two or more locs! I'm researching before I start mine. I like your method of interlocing best.

[@user-nu2sx2lm9q]

Can you come these out? Also, if you start with interlocks can you palm twist them when they grow out.
