[@seliciaadams2378]

Here's the funny thing, this is how I've been retwiating my locs all along. I never felt comfortable palm rolling my hair or anyone else's. The loc smything method felt easier and more comfortable to me. I didn't even know it was a thing. WOW!!!! Thanks for educating me on the proper term.

[@thedigitalloctician]

You're the real MVP!! Lol it took me YEARS to even grasp this and you're day 1 at it! I'm amazed!!!

[@seliciaadams2378]

@@thedigitalloctician thanks. But because of YOU I know the proper term for this method. WE are better together!!!! 🏆 🏆 🏆

[@300rik]

Exactly, Ive mine for 7 years and did this since ever, never did a palm roll, i call it finger roll, funniest thing is some people back 7 years ago was saying not do ever do it lol thanks the gods Ive an open mind and could see thru, that it actually gives u more of an accuracy when doing it imo

[@tsimmonds55]

Peace Loc Queen. Can you please do a video about how to do it on yourself?

[@thedigitalloctician]

Yes, we're definitely learning this together in the Cultivator Community, digitalloctician.com/community

[@saramolet3614]

The way it look in the picture you already attempted and tried

[@slrcouture]

Wow. I’m shocked this isn’t a normal technique used. I did my teenage sons locs for the first time the other day. I wanted to help him save money. Going to a salon is expensive. I figured how hard could it be. Palm rolling was hurting my hands and wasn’t giving me the results I wanted, so I actually started doing this technique unbeknownst to me that it’s a special technique. It’s something I thought I made up just to get the job done 😂 His hair looked so good once I finished. It actually looked better and much more neat than when he’s gone to the shop.

[@sjyoungbloodsj]

Your smile is everything 👏🏽☺️

[@natashafrazier9120]

Thank you! I started thinking my only option as a microloc besides interlocking was knotting. I’m so glad to know that I have another option in my forever journey. You have been such a great teacher to all of us and I want to say THANK YOU so much for sharing your knowledge!! 🎉🎉🙏🏽🕊️

[@lindag.3532]

That history was very informative! Much appreciated.

[@thedigitalloctician]

Happy to share!

[@lynnefreeman7687]

Mixed race curly hair here and yes yesssss this is the go to twist to keep them so neat. I love your hair. Thank you for sharing the tips!!!

[@naynayskids356]

I am loving this video ❤ the background information and who, how and when this was discovered!!!

[@IamNEYDES]

Oh wow. Naturally this was the technique I’ve been doing instead of palm rolling my locs but I didn’t know that it was an actual thing.

[@tarrafalsmeetingpointservi816]

This is how I locked my son's hair and didn't even know what palm rolling was at the time. His locks are neat and organized. They're not frizzy or loose even though I did them while he was sleeping (he was 1.5 years old when I started them)

[@velmaabel5188]

I started doing this to my locs . Because i was looking for something to make them look less frizzy. I didn't even know there was a name or history. Well I'm going to chalk it up to the ancestors guidance

[@sisteryaya24]

I really appreciate this video because I have Sisterlocks and I have had to join several of them together to keep them from breaking which makes it difficult to interlock them. Thanks so much! I'll look for the tutorial.

[@angelaallen7252]

Okay this was very informative and it's going to take some practice for me.

[@mabeaute8963]

Wonderful share!❤🙏🏽

[@arisha3015]

😲 OMG! I tried it on myself when I first saw it the regular way nd thought my fingers chose to just shut down on me along with cramping😬 I just tried this way, nd soooo much better! My loc is actually smoother this time!! 😁 yaaaay, nd ty so much for this information

[@myloveismykids]

Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@katharine1285]

I do a little bit of both and I have to say it does make a difference. Sometimes I forget so I'll start off palm rolling and then end by loc smything lol

[@chrissiemudpuppy1179]

Your locs are so thick and neat 😍😍😍

[@s.b294]

I do this on my 5 yr old but I didn’t know it had a name. I’ve tried the palm rolling and it was not my cup of tea, I couldn’t get it down for nothing. So I’ve been doing “Loc Smything for 2 years”. Wonderful to see it has a name.

[@gailthompson2271]

Thank you!

[@Mrs.CryssieJ]

Wow thank you so much i was doing this method , and was just totally unaware of what it was called😊😮

So happy to see you doing it on yourself 🙌🏾. And don’t forget to mention the spelling 😁 Locsmyth vs. Locsmith.

[@allthingsmianc]

LOCKSMITHING ....THATS IT. Thanks alot. I been trying to figure it out.

[@brendamcknight8864]

I have a hard time palm rolling on my own locks, especially in the back, its even harder. Locksmithing, I totally don't understand. Though I enjoyed the history of its invention and the woman who started it.

[@thedigitalloctician]

I totally understand Brenda, it is very weird how the hand placement works for both methods particularly on your own head. How do you groom your locs? Do you use a specific method?

[@Jacquelyndorindachic]

I Am 6 Years Loc'd. I just did my own retwist and found myself Loc Smything and Palm Rolling

[@KBlue728]

Thank you for this valuable info. I’ve def tried it on myself and man my fingers were tired 😂😂I have search for a video on how you achieved you hair color. I know you didn’t use bleach but I was wondering if you have. A video or have done a video on it. Love all your videos 💙

[@SKBG144]

Love the content! Thanks for the info!!

Those earrings are GORGEOUS! Where did you get them??

[@nicolegoddess100official]

Thank you 😊 BEGGINER for me

[@nakeasimone13]

I can’t even get the understanding of the hand gesture. Like are we rolling our fingers back and forth or in the direction we twisted our hair?

[@allthingsmianc]

I had it explained like a slide and roll technique and it make sense now

[@teermusk]

You are absolutely gorgeous ❤

[@247gwyn]

I don’t palm roll because I love the character of the loc without it.

[@ladyneal8145]

Teach us oh wise one!

I go to the salon in Brooklyn, NY where the creator of this technique is at! Beautiful woman!

It sure is.. I was doing this even before I knew it was lock smithing.smiting.. It has been wonderful for my locs. Thank you..

Greetings. Please show a video locsmything microlocs/Sisterlocks.

I asked my stylist if she could try locsmything on my hair, she had no clue to what I was talking about. LOL When I finally gave it a try I was surprised with the outcome.

[@thedigitalloctician]

Right!! It makes such a difference!

[@tamishab1998]

Yes it really does.

[@ChassyJazzy]

​@@thedigitalloctician I noticed when people locsmyth they always do it with their left hand. Can you do this with the right hand? Do you have a tutorial on how to do this

Its funny that i do this an had no idea it was a thing im almost 1 yr april 22nd 😊

[@AKIYIAKELLY]

[@katrinayett5904]

Hello how can you do this technique on sister locs as you stated in your video?

[@LeslieGrantlovefaithhope]

I've seen this technique alot on social. Can you make a video on how to do on yourself and someone else. I My daughter and I both have issue with thinning all g our hair lines and have lost locs due to it. I don't twist my hair often Wondering if this could this technique could help with providing me to go longer between retwist and have a neat hairline.

[@cocobrown1854]

Follow yannie the locologist- locs are not about neatness- retwist should be twice a year or you will have thinning- hair on average grows 6 inches a year so why the manipulation so often - she explains why the thinning- " leave the hair alone stop the manipulation and you stop the thinning - with continued thinning new growth you will have no loc

[@EvinNazya]

Can this method cause thinning over time?

[@Whiteboard7]

I've been doing this for years! Lol

[@AmericanCopperDragonChile]

What confirmation! I always felt palm rolling was going to thin me out. Interlocking didn't help either. One day I just started rolling from the bottom up and my hair sang!

[@999samus7]

one question cause I'm completely new and ignorant to this, do you do this dry handed or do apply and type of product to your hands before loc smithing?

[@melindaburnside1835]

👍

[@thedigitalloctician]

Thank you for the thumbs up!

[@Ok_Igwe]

Can you link the video to the woman who inspired you to locksmyth on your own head?

[@thedigitalloctician]

Who knows where that video is- that endless scroll on IG is the rabbit hole lol

[@divadee04ds]

Did she ever explain or demonstrate how it’s done?

[@locdfitgirl6629]

Omg I could not figure out how to do it on my own head

Amen cause the woman that started mine is just too busy

[@1wayDrell]

I just got my second retwist after having starter locs for about 3-4 months. But this time she palm rolled them and now they look a lot thinner. Will that make them stay skinny or if i tell her not to do it anymore will they still thicken up over time?

[@marosteeha]

The thing is that when I do that it looks good for like 20 seconds and then the frizz comes right back. So disappointing. 😩

[@wendykgosi149]

can you properly EXPLAIN the technique. do you mechanically roll forward and backwards? or?
