This is the most in-depth video on interlocking that I've seen on youtube. I think i'm ready to interlock my hair for the first time tomorrow...

[@kraxykam7242]

How did it go?

[@lakudzala195]

Kraxy Kam not bad at all. The interlocking was not too difficult but I didn’t use any kind of locking gel so after a few weeks the frizz was crazy. Took around 12 hours to do my whole head

[@GoddessGood999]

Agreed!

[@ingridwiggins9575]

Yes 🙌🏼 I agree ☝️ u definitely knocked every video outta field. I’m absolutely sure now. Thank you 😊

[@ladyofwisdom2]

She definitely has a guaranteed career in voice overs or reading children's audio books. What a lovely voice. Oh, the locs are 🔥🔥. The video is very easy to understand and follow! 😍😍

[@tr54natural5]

The tip about going in on a diagonal if you only have one rotation left is golden. I recently switched to the two point rotation and love the simplicity of it. Thanks so much and your locs are beautiful 👍🏾

[@NaturallyMotivatedLady]

Thanks! 🥰 Glad to help.

[@donice1973]

Your locs are so healthy and beautiful! Thank you for doing this update.

[@demetriajo4589]

Thank you so much for this video you made interlocking very, very easy to understand! I was finally able to do my own hair last night,& I no longer have to rely on my loctician. When you use simple words like "right, top, etc it's so much better for me to understand vs. the east, west, north, south stuff on other videos. Lol, for some reason that really confused the hell out of me! Love your content and your hair is Gorgeous❤️

[@angie101972]

You’ve done a great job maintaining your locs!

[@unaweza]

Thank you soooo much for this informative video on 2 point rotation. Because the 4 point is difficult for me stay focus when I used to do it. I would always lose the direction I last went in. Sooooo Thanks again the tips are extremely helpful. And your locs are gorgeous

[@NaturallyMotivatedLady]

Thanks! 🥰

[@micarae6453]

OMG, I was just binge watching your other vids and now I get this treat today! Beautiful locs!! Edited to add: Congrats on writing your book! I'll definitely support. You're so thorough, I'm sure you'll cover everything :) :)

[@NaturallyMotivatedLady]

Thank you! 😊

[@Blkbeautee]

I was wondering about holes in my locs. NOW, I know how to repair them. I use a 4 point rotation but I will try the 2 point rotation. Your hair grows amazingly fast.

[@NaturallyMotivatedLady]

Thanks! 😊 The same concept can be applied to the 4 point rotation if that is the rotation you prefer. The key is just having a system to not go through the same hole back to back when retightening. Thanks so much for watching! I hope this helps. Btw...you can probably do a search to find methods of repairing holes that may already be in your locs.

Thank you!! Haven't locked yet! But, knowledge is powerful to be prepared. The 2 point rotation is perfect!

[@AKIYIAKELLY]

Nice... This is the Method I use. I Interlock mine 2 times a Year. I Retwist every 2 to 3 months.

[@sonyakirk1182]

Can yu tell a difference from switching back and forth from methods

[@AKIYIAKELLY]

@@sonyakirk1182 Not at all really. I Actually think Interlocking Saved a Few of My Locs. I had so much New Growth. Overtime the Loc will Thicken up. I haven't Interlocked in a long time.

[@NitaM1272]

Thank you may consider interlocking you made it look easy your locs are beautiful my braidlocs similar size to yours I have plenty of braid pattern 4 months in twisted only once didn’t last with my workouts, ordering your book.

Thanks! 😊 Glad to help.

[@MsABee1]

Naturally Motivated Lady I actually took the braids out and twisted them like so many others... I don’t quite understand how you were able to unbraid and interloc in between and going down.... I think I am making it harder in my head! 😳 in my mind as I start interloc-ing I will gain a better grasp of how it works.

[@NaturallyMotivatedLady]

I understand. You have to do what works for your hair. When you have a moment to check it out, here is the video where I explain how I took down my braids and interlocked the length of each loc. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5qulGV7gNucb9k

[@jamesbennett8637]

Again I want to thank you for your excellent presentation and explanation along with close-up shots of your locks! It looks as though there is no need to Palm roll; Is my assumption correct?

[@chefbrownie]

I stop going to get my hair done and started since May of last year. I retighten my hair myself doing the 4 point but ran to you're video so I thought I give it a try. It didn't take as long and easier to do. Didn't seems no difference then to 4 point but we will see 🤞🏾

[@dionehowell8687]

Hi new subby from the UK 🇬🇧 here.I did not subscribe previously as you had braid locs and I thought you had WAY more locs than 193 didn’t think there would not be any similarities. Boy I was wrong I have 180 ish I’m 4 months in and having watched a few more videos I find you extremely informative. Your hair looks healthy & amazing hope I can achieve that for mine too. Does it matter if you switch sides that you come from? Also how do you fix holes that occur? Many thanks 🙏🏾 😊

[@NaturallyMotivatedLady]

Thanks! 😊 In my experience, there has been no noticeable difference between starting from the left or the right. Since I interlock in a way to avoid holes, it has not been a problem for me. But I'm sure if you do a KZbin search for "how to repair holes in locs", there are a few good videos to learn from. Thanks so much for watching!

[@amaterialgirl6494]

Looks pretty and healthy. Lots of hair for short time.

[@Soulflyy992]

How do you avoid knots at your roots when interlocking ?

[@rrmosley1]

Wow! Looking at your Locs just motivated me! Your Locs look so healthy and well maintained. I have length. But they don’t have a shape. I ponder trimming. But the thought is like cutting a finger. 😫 Ugh! Not to mention I barely wear them down lately because of *duh, duh, duh* HOT FLASHES‼️ 🤣 But as I said, I am motivated! I think I am in ❤️ again. 🤗 Thank you.

[@g.k.3598]

Thank you for this video. It helped me get the tool right 😊 I’ve been using these 2 rotation ⬅️⬇️points since March. I think I naturally did this because I’m right-handed.

[@melaniecooper4741]

Hi your locs are beautiful, I’m thinking about it. How to start on short hair?

[@NaturallyMotivatedLady]

There are many options to start your locs on short hair: comb coils, 2 strand twists, braids, ect. It's worth researching to decide on what's best for your hair. 😊

[@taunyamoss2007]

How do you make sure you don't go through the same direction back to back? Do you go from the RIGHT to top and then in five weeks for your next retightening go from the LEFT then top? I hope my question makes sense...

[@ellzbellz08]

Just always end on the top and always start at the side.

[@trevorj9735]

Can you do a two point rotation on Sisterlocks? Will that particular pattern ruin them?

[@amethystecv2873]

Do you interlock on wet, dry, or damp hair?

Hi, your hair is so beautiful. Please make a video for your night time routine, do you plait and cover or just cover?

For me the most important thing is having a thicker loc overall and for my sides which are thinner and more fragile I think a three point rotation may work better. Your thoughts?

[@iamdanie_.]

[@michellemarsh1366]

Where did you get the tool you using for interlocking?

[@cecileturner450]

Ms Naturally Motivated Lady your locs are beautiful. I love your detailed tutorial about using the two strand method. I've just begun my journey however my loctician insists on using methods that I am uncomfortable with. So I am now on my own. Have you ever had to combine your locks? What method did you use. What is your best advice to practice for healthy locs. Thank you.

[@NaturallyMotivatedLady]

Thanks! 😊 No, I have never had to combine any of my locs. I have the same number I started with. One of the best tips is to be consistent with your maintenance. Learn what works for your hair and stick to your routine.

[@kimberlyskrobol9167]

thanks for all of your awesome tips and videos! I have been doing the 4 point rotation for about 1 1/2 yrs and am considering moving to 2 point to allow shaft to swell a bit more (and to not take FOREVER to retighten ;), did you notice a visible difference btwn the 2 and 4 points? can you look at a loc and tell "this it the moment i switched from 4 to 2 points"? I'm wondering if there will be a transition line permanently on the locs. Thanks!

[@kraxykam7242]

I was wondering the same thing

[@kimberlyskrobol9167]

So I tried the 2 point rotation a few weeks ago and it was a total disaster!! Lots of loops and gaps. My hair is a very fine soft 3B texture so I think I need the structure of the 4 point rotation. Also it didn’t save me Time or feel faster at all. In fact I have to go back in to fix a bunch. I think her texture is coilyer than mine and that makes a huge difference. Consider your texture above all else. Needless to say, I’m going back to my trusted pattern

[@Edefrem]

Hello! I have heard that 2 point rotations lead to a more "flat" locs as opposed to a 4 point rotation that leads to a more cylindrical loc. Can you share your experience with this?

[@friendliee]

no ! 😡🤷🏽‍♀️

[@hawtnsweet]

That would be a 3 point rotation you heard about, not 2. The 3 point gives a shape similar to a braid.

[@jaleesabyrd1870]

I noticed on another one of your videos you said you have 193 locs, I have 183 starter braidlocs myself. So do you consider yours micro-locs or sisterlocks? Also love your videos, very informative 😊

[@NaturallyMotivatedLady]

Thanks! Since I started my locs with braids, I usually call them braidlocs or interlocks. Technically, I guess they could also be called microlocs or just small locs. However, since they were not done by a sisterlocks technician, and do not have the sisterlocks grid, and barely have half as many locs as sisterlocks, I do not call them sisterlocks. Thanks so much for watching! 🥰

[@RobinNatural1]

I just started my braidlocs. I’m so excited. Do you remember if you sprayed anything on your hair in the beginning to help it loc or tangle? Also, because my hair is soft and curly my ends are curling up, should I do anything to help keeping them from locking up in a “bump”? Love your hair and the information you share. Blessings!

[@NaturallyMotivatedLady]

Thanks! 😊 I apologize for missing your message. I washed it often (at least once a week) to help it along. As for keeping your locs from bunching, you may want to braid and band when you wash it.

[@SpencerMFJames]

are there any remedies if a Y forms in your locs?

[@NaturallyMotivatedLady]

Yes, there are ways to remedy a Y that has already formed in your locs. I don't have a video on it, but in the past, I've come across a couple YT videos where an interlocking tool is used to close the gap.

[@michelleboothe4628]

Naturally Motivated Lady, how tall are you? I'm asking because it looks like you have a ton of length for only having your hair locked for 3 years and 8 months.

[@sashanascarlett8910]

Would 2 point rotation work on a little bit bigger loc. I am just starting out with two strand twists and have about 140 of them? I haven’t made my mind up yet about retwist, or 4 point. I just came across 2 point which looks so neat. I don’t think I want puffy locs...

[@wandabrown6429]

[@CHRIS80MIC]

[@NaturallyMotivatedLady]

Thanks. Yes, I have 193 locs.

[@Froluvangel]

Should hair be wet or dry for the session??

[@NaturallyMotivatedLady]

Good question. I usually interlock on slightly damp hair (either after washing my hair, or I use a spray bottle to dampen the roots a little if my hair is dry).

[@W0rkknPr0gress]

How did you start your locs? Braids to two strand twists?

[@iamdanie_.]

I doubt it's two strand twist. The ends look small and two strand twist puffs up 🤔.. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@didicoles1233]

I just have to point out the fact that your scalp looks so clean healthy and moisturized.

[@NaturallyMotivatedLady]

Thank you! 😊

[@motishacheatham393]

I love your hair. I have sisterlocks and with the quarantine I interlocked my hair it looks and feels great. Would you recommend 4 or 2 rotation.

[@NaturallyMotivatedLady]

Both the 4 and 2 point rotations have worked well for me. My personal preference is 2 partly because it's easier for me, but you may want to check with your sisterlocks consultant to find out which rotation they have been doing on your hair.

[@keilani071]

I’ve been watching you since last year when I started my first rotation of locs (two strand method for 10 months); now I’m back (slightly shorter hair now) and I want to try the micro loc interlocking method. Do you ever start ppl locs for them?? If so, where are you located?

[@NaturallyMotivatedLady]

Thanks so much for watching! 😊 But, no, I don't do hair. I've only ever done my own locs.
