Girlfriend that is interlocking... that was the same way I use to for years until I use a latch pin, that works quicker..now trying the crochet method .. sometimes I go back to what I am use to .. but u r doing great continue..I av been locking since 1998..

[@eatpraylocd]

Honestly I had no clue that interlocking was a thing. I’m learning something new everyday. Thank you 💚

[@plee6223]

I just read about your retwist method in a book called, “The Knotty Truth.” I was looking for a video on this method. Thank you for making and sharing this video.

[@eatpraylocd]

Interesting! I had a coworker with sister locs that showed me this method with a crochet needle. I just made it my own and it’s working so far 💚 I’m definitely going on a hunt for that book!

[@Moochistrawberry7021]

Wait! People really be out here not moisturizing their locs? 😧😧BTW girlfriend, you're very beautiful!

[@eatpraylocd]

LOL yes! That will be my video next Thursday. Thank you ❤❤

[@Sepia3000]

yes- I love the sandwich analogy!

[@sashatom02sr]

Isn't that called interlocking? I'm learning everything myself so I'm honestly just asking

[@eatpraylocd]

Yes I believe so! I’m going to search interlocking videos now lol. I think I do my own kind of interlocking 🤔🤣

[@rosemarymurphy7184]

Yes, that is interlocking.

[@WhoSuhPretty]

Yep that is interlocking just without a tool. Pretty cool

[@cynthiahillian]

That would be interlocking

[@AShasa35]

Yes, that is interlocking.

[@snapper2766]

Thank you for the info... I never knew their was a difference between locking the hair vs. retwisting it.

[@eatpraylocd]

No problem. I didn’t even know what I was doing was called interlocking. We are all learning together 💚

[@DestinationDionna]

Heavy on the we are not listening to the opinions of those who don’t even have locs!

[@eatpraylocd]

Yesss👏🏾💚

[@sheryl5016]

I'm hollin'! You are f'ing hilarious!!!! Nice job.

[@eatpraylocd]

LOL! Glad you liked it 🤣💚

[@msdeenatural_3]

I retwist every wash, lol. My hair is freezy so that works for me. I used to do it like you just showed, but it was too much work for me. Retwisting is faster in my opinion.

[@eatpraylocd]

Okay, interesting! Everyone’s hair is so different. Love that you found what your hair needs 💚

[@maemeraki5005]

Omg i love this woman. Sooooo hilarious! Such a vibe 💛💛💛✨

[@eatpraylocd]

Awwww thank you 💚

[@AstinzWorld]

I love your video! I relock my locs every two months. I need to learn how to do them independently, but I don't have the patience, lol I also like my Loctician.

[@eatpraylocd]

Thank you!! 🙏🏾 yes doing them by yourself is great but sometimes it would be nice to have someone do them for me. Love that for you 💚

[@kristenyoungman2932]

This is the video I needed to watch today! Everyone’s journey with Locs is different, it’s very refreshing to have someone be so transparent and honest . So happy I started following your channel. By far one of the most helpful loc videos I’ve watched on you tube so far. Thanks Queen ❤

Thank you! 🤗

I’m here for it ❤

[@lifeisgoodjohn316]

I like the braid look, my hair grows away from my lock and I like to wash my hair, for these reasons, I interlock monthly

[@eatpraylocd]

Ok interesting. Whatever works for you 💚

[@shondacunningham6812]

Started my Locks in 2000 at Cheek length on my own. I have a very Curly Non Kinky type of hair, so ppl thought i had a straw set. I also keep my hair Blonde. Bcuz i didn't know what i was Doing I colored and retwisted them Way too much Until a Rasta coworker told me to Stop retwisting my hair so in the long run the Damage i did was to my Edges mainly. I eventually did an Undercut qith with my Locks then after 18yrs I cut them all off 2018. Now I miss them and will start them again but I Now KNOW What NOT To Do. Thanks for this Demo.

[@eatpraylocd]

Yes! It’s all a learning process. Now you know. Thank you for sharing your story 💚

[@ChristmasDiamond]

I interlock and crochet locs once a year and only crochet them just a bit to kinda close up the locs. I had locs at 16 but beeswax was used, took them down big chop loc’ed up again to take those down to loc up again cut some off for a high top fade took that down during c-19 4th set loc’ed up on their own after leaving in box braids to start off but the braids undid themselves to loc up from the that. Locs get washed and watered and oiled

[@eatpraylocd]

Interesting. I never understood why people were on their 4/5/6 loc journeys but I’m starting to get it. Everybody’s hair is different and what might work for one might not work for the other. Thank you for your comment! Loving the journey 💚

[@shernicafields2339]

I want to try this

[@africanqueen6198]

Interlocking without a tool

[@eatpraylocd]

Yes! I didn’t know what it was called but apparently I’m doing it! Lol 💚

[@taremcallister-young96]

I wish I can do the interlock method, but my locs are so sensitive..it pulls by the root every time. Even when I loop it once!

[@eatpraylocd]

Honestly, I love this method. I find when I do it with less new growth it tends to pull. Were you doing it by hand or with a tool? Everyone’s hair is so different. Once you find what works best for yours it’s great! 💚

[@taremcallister-young96]

@@eatpraylocd I used a tool, maybe by hand is less aggressive..thanks for the feedback love

[@RobinNatural1]

Interlocking.

[@aliciamoore963]

So, this is interlocking?

[@eatpraylocd]

Yes, apparently it is. I just called it relocing 🤣💚

[@Gudsur]

I just started my loc journey last week. I've been spraying a little of my oil mist and re twisting my hair every morning since I got my two strand twists. Am I doing it too much? Btw, great job maintaining your own locs!

[@BionAvastar3000]

Yes. You are going to give yourself traction alopicia (premature balding from excessive tension) if you keep that up. Too much oil will make your hair dry. Embrace the fuzzy stage.

[@Gudsur]

@@BionAvastar3000 thanks for the advice

[@eatpraylocd]

[@samaraisrael2431]

Hello i love your videos, i did have a question do you put the lock through whatever direction it falls? Thankyou so much for making yhis video. And do you find this method keeps thebloca thin like interlocking?

[@eatpraylocd]

Thank you!! Yes, I go in whatever direction is opposite to the last time I relocked. I will be making a more in depth video 💚

[@ermabazemore]

Thanks

[@eatpraylocd]

You’re welcome 💚

[@SHAWNA499]

I love your voice

[@eatpraylocd]

Thank you 💚

[@nikshaunlewis4883]

So the color doesn’t stay if your using semi permanent dye its semi you have to go to a professional for consistency in color but I understand hesitancy for permanent color

[@eatpraylocd]

You know what? I read semi and I understood semi but the DELUSIONAL part of my brain said it would stay this colour forever 😂😭 I think professional help is needed for sure! Lol 💚

[@ExquisiteKinkyCoils]

😊😊😊

[@shaunajenkins9680]

Why did you have to say Shauna!? j/p lmao This face i made when you said Shauna lmao

[@eatpraylocd]

LOL omg girl first name that popped in my head 🤣🩷

[@shernicafields2339]

Hello, do you go through the same hole🧐

[@lmao9179]

That’s what she said 😏

[@eatpraylocd]

I will make a video showing it in more detail. You create a hole going the opposite direction 💚

[@ndyaiki9167]

oh so you finger interlock ur locs

[@eatpraylocd]

Yes I do. I don’t trust myself with tools 😂

[@msclassylady6620]

Great advice

[@eatpraylocd]

Thank you 💚

[@crazyforver12]

Its called interlocking I never heard relock. lol

[@eatpraylocd]

I was over here making up my own thing. LOL y’all have taught me 😂 I really thought nobody else did this.

[@gillahousing]

Like how to make a good sandwich.

[@blu_rey8656]

I use a leave in conditioner, not really moisturizing on the shaft and grease on the scalp. I’m from the era when we used grease; not oils. I don’t know who came up with putting all this water, oils and rose water just because we have locs. Oils and rose water causes itchiness, dryness, debris and lint on my hair. Anyways, I hope you don’t lose your shit due to my comment.✌🏽😊

[@eatpraylocd]

Why would I lose my shit? To be honest I’m am happy for everyone that knows what works for their hair. I love this for you. That’s really interesting though. I use grease in my scalp sometimes too! Thanks for your comment. I love seeing the different ways people maintain their hair 💚💚
