Why can’t nobody do a tutorial on it and show black women how to do it if it’s so great! I hate that it has to be top secret and so hidden.

[@sparker7768]

This is my question; and I don't mind paying for instruction, but it feels almost like the SL secrecy all over again.

[@mrs.joejoe6424]

Mrs. Melissa Blake is a sweetheart and a wealth of knowledge. I love my small locs-I have sisterlocks too-but the time has come where I have to do something different. Not afraid of change. Knotted locs is a movement and it’s not going to appeal to everyone. But for those who have joined, self included, it’s a game changer and I’m happily embracing it.

[@growqueen]

I am condering arranging a consultation. I am in the UK. How much was the consultation please. Thank you 😊

[@sokonashumba]

@@growqueenyou have to contact her direct for all that info.

[@msfullroller]

I have had my DIY small locs for 15 years started with braids and maintained via the interlock method up until almost 3 years ago when I decided to use the same knotting method that I had already been using to repair weak spots in my locs. Despite a few hiccups, I'm loving it and wish I had done it way earlier in my journey. However, back when I started my locs or when I discovered by accident that knots work for my locs.

[@talaiahgadsden8783]

Do u have a video tutorial

[@lifeonpurpose89]

My mom has micro locs and she’s been knotting her locs for almost 2 years now. She LOVES IT and I’ve seen significant improvement with her locs. At the end of the day, your hair is thriving with what you’re doing so if ain’t broke don’t fix it ❤

[@makanconcepts6041]

I get it. We use glue to hold the end of human hair braids together all the time to stop it from unraveling. We use glue to bond itip extensions to our hair, we use bonding glue on our weaves to glue it to our hair, we use lace wig glue on our edges. I really don’t see the issue, it’ll just end up disintegrating anyways and by that time it’s served its purpose, the hair is locked . I’m not mad at the glue thing tbh.

[@chyname]

That's used on hair extensions, not hair growing from your scalp. You won't to be able to get the glue out of your locs. Probably can't really wash it properly, due to that. The chemicals may lead to breakaga also . Glue is horrible . I would say to knots are ok, but cause more weight on your locs so , becareful. I prefer using a crochet hook f9r micro locs.

[@awp8331]

That's why I do my own reties because they won't have me bald.

[@secretkeke8906]

I’m still on the fence about knotted locs but I’m looking forward to seeing how it works out for everyone. I love the new conversations around microlocs, they are very much overdue. It would be great to see everyone start to organically find their own method the same way you have ❤

[@LaZy3LocD]

Hey Keke, yes I agree-very much overdue. And I would hope that everyone does find their own path with their microlocs eventually because that’s what is all about (at least that’s my take on it). Thanks so much for watching.💕🫶🏽

[@dashingnurse5098]

I agree!!!

[@krandle2175]

Hi! I am a Sisterlock consultant, and I totally see the battles!! There are some unethical people taking advantage of people. I let my clients come when they want but charge for my time. This makes it fair to both myself and my clients. Their hair looks great and is healthy!! I've done some research on knotted locks, and I've seen a well-known KZbinr document her transition to knotted locks, and I love what I'm seeing. I understand the notion of not wanting to experience traction alopecia - AND nobody should be getting their locs retightened supper close to the scalp!! Love your content! ❤

[@dashingnurse5098]

I was one that asked You what your thoughts were regarding knotted locs because of your free spirit and unorthodox, unconventional methods which to me is🔥! You were the first person on KZbin who's locs I really liked ☺️! Also I like the free and unbothered look of your locs 😍!!!

[@LaZy3LocD]

Yes! Thank you! I remember!!🥹🥰💕💕…see I listen to you all I try to answer y’all’s questions lol. I think you for bringing up and asking me this question. Thank you for such kind words and supporting my unorthodox very unconventional loc techniques lol. Just know I’m always gonna keep it as true as I can even through the rough parts. I appreciate you!🫶🏽💕💕🥰

[@niecy_locd]

I've had my own diy microlocs for a little over 2 years now. I started off retwisting then i transitioned to the 2-point interlocking method. But now that I'm being birthed into my newest journey of motherhood, i realize i don't like the rigidity of interlocing. My locs start marrying after about 8 weeks and i really dont wanna be sitting down for 2-3 days, using a tool, worrying about my parts 6-7 times a year! Im over it. It feels like im being pressedd into a box with my hair all over again. Learning about knotted locs and seeing you come up with your twice-a-year method was a revelation for me. I restarted my locs because I wanted to be free and i think that both of you are giving different avenues to do so. Love you and love the channel!!!

[@Missladi81]

I love that you keep it real!! What works for you may not work for everyone and that’s fine it’s your hair and you do you sis! Keep the content coming I’m here for it! And keep up the positive energy!!! I have diy microlocs and have maintained them myself the entire 2.5 years and I’ve done many things to my locs as well 😂😂

[@LaZy3LocD]

AYEEE DIY girl that’s what I’m talking about! 🙌🏽🙌🏽Thank you so much for the love! I really feel it through this comment! Lol💕💕. Any regrets on anything you personally did to your locs in the past 2.5 years?

[@BecomingDoctorWilliams]

Yeah, I started growing my LOCS last summer and let me tell you. You've helped me along the way. Lazy & Loc, you're a gem!

[@LaZy3LocD]

Lol oh Jerrell haha 😂

[@powerinbeing4912]

It is nice of you to speak so eloquently on what Ms. Melissa Blake is sharing with the loc community. All the Best to you.

[@LaZy3LocD]

I always like to give credit where is warranted and I believe that she does deserve recognition for her techniques, Thank you for your kind words and for watching!💕☺️

[@bf1822]

Queen, you know how I feel. I like your technique for your locks. The folks who don't like it can kick rocks. You know I have knotted locks and have had them now for almost two years. What folks decide I feel is a personal choice...

[@305Capricorn]

Hi, do you think Knottedlocs’s is worth it. Do you like that technique for your locks? ❤

[@LaZy3LocD]

Yes Queen, you actually were the first person who came to my mind when I thought about knotted locs because I know have then and you love them. I really like how you said is ones “personal choice” because it really is. I absolutely love my glue technique and will continue to do it-but knotted locs definitely has a purpose for so many ppl with small locs. Thank you for always supporting me! 🥹💕😘🫶🏽

[@eduns123]

What I don’t understand if the interlocs and knotted locs are the same size, how does that mean you can go a longer period without retying.. it’s the same amount of new growth, and length of the loc so why can you go say 6months

[@ronicasmith3956]

I really just subscribed and liked cause you asked and every so often I watch your channel when I get the feeling to want locs. 😊but I haven’t seen you in a while and when I seen you pop up I clicked real fast

[@LaZy3LocD]

Aww thank you so much! I appreciate your support! 💗💗💗

[@Purpose4designs]

Sadly, I have heard of lots of horror stories regarding the professional loctitians🤷🏽‍♀️

[@Nollyfan]

Hi girlfriend! Its been a while and yes, I have often thought about you and what your take is on the knotted locks method. Like you, I think I will pass for now. Your glue method resonated with me the very 1st time I saw it and I immediately tried it. People do not realize just how much glues are used in healthcare. Thanks for thinking outside the box on that one

[@MsCyndi0512]

Great video! Very insightful

[@LaZy3LocD]

Glad you enjoyed it Ms. Cindy!

I have knotted locs. Been suggested to comb out the knot. One year locked

[@rosettawilliams9053]

YOu have knotted locs from Melissa Blakes' technique? So, someone else suggested you comb it out? Clarify please!

[@LaZy3LocD]

Happy 1 year locked 😊…I’m also very interested in @rosettawilliams9053 question. Why did the person suggest you comb it out?

[@GizelleQuant]

Wait. You have locs that have knots in them? Or knotted locs?

THAT part!!!

[@user-cq5wv3ck6h]

I'm about to watch the video .. this is interesting coz wondered if you'd considered knotting at the point where you applying the glue... And yeah I definitely want microlocs ... Started them before, kept them for 6 months but took them out coz when they swelled and settled I realized they were actually thicker then I wanted I'll them again now that I know how my hair swells Much love ❤️❤️❤️🙏💕

[@LaZy3LocD]

Hey!👋🏽 yeah so many people always suggest or ask me about knotted locs and I believe is similar to your reasoning as well, it’s all good tho lol. And I like how you used your first set of microlocs to understand your hair better in a Loc’D state-now you’ll have a better idea about sizing the next go around 😉🙌🏽. Thanks so much for watching! ☺️💕

[@bf1822]

Also as your hair mature the locs will get smaller, this will also depend on your hair texture....

[@camsmith931]

@@bf1822 I thought it was the opposite, I thought locs swell as they mature?

[@jamesbennett8637]

I have always maintained my own hair loose or locked. I am very interested in understanding new methods such as knotted loc’s But I am having difficulty understanding or seeing knotted loc's. at this present time, I am using a modified method inspired by you in which I use the crochet needle to instant lock my new growth and a adhesive/superglue in order to maintain well manicured loc’s.🎉

[@LaZy3LocD]

Thanks for sharing James!! So glad your finding your own lane with your locs! 😊...How is the modified method working for you?

[@jamesbennett8637]

After using the crochet needle to instant loc the new growth I have no need to use the super glue. I make sure to finger comb my loc’s to keep them free from marrying. This method is much faster than interlocking my waist length micro loc’s.

[@gardenflower620]

@@jamesbennett8637hmm could you elaborate on what you mean by instant locking the new growth with the crochet needle? How do you do that?

[@jamesbennett8637]

@@gardenflower620this video will show you how the crochet method is used to retighten your loc’s. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fae9e4h_nsqDndU&si=8s8X2B0mDkBGqven My loc’s grow very fast and are too long to comfortably interlock by pulling the ends thru the new growth at the root. I also did not need to use adhesive after I crochet the new growth. I used the 3 pronged crochet hook to crochet my loc’s because with practice the the 0.35mm 3 pronged crochet hook is much faster to instantly lock your new growth. ✨please let me know how you feel about this method when you try it. 😊👍🏾

Why not use hair glue used for wigs?

[@LaZy3LocD]

I actually did use lace front glue earlier in my loc journey, it’s the first glue I ever used and experimented with on my locs. 2nd video on my channel is you’re interested 😊

[@awp8331]

There is nothing wrong with your technique.
