Locs: Updated Interlocking routine

[@vanessav692]

I'm glad to see someone not obsessed with perfect parts.

[@FT-db3ty]

I’ve been looking for medium size interlocks!!!! Thank you!

[@RebekahElaine]

My pleasure 😊

[@ericcartman6667]

Finally someone that uses a interlocking method. I was getting a little discouraged because a lot of people that are growing dreads seem to really hate this method. I started off with this method a month ago because my scalp has a special condition which means I have to wash my scalp literally every week with dandruff shampoo otherwise I get a very flaky scalp. That is the only reason I didn’t start off with the twisting because I know it will unravel quickly if I wash every week. It’s crazy because that is initially how I wanted to start off but I decided to do the instant loc and interlock them. This is my second time interlocking my hair because I had an insane amount of new growth within less than a month. I decided to loc my hair in the In the first place because I have extremely thick hair and it’s always a pain to get these complex hairstyles so I said to hell with it I am going to loc my hair. People seem not to like the interlocking dread method because they say it thins your hair. But after doing a little research it seems what really thins people hair is switching different methods which I absolutely will not do . I will stick to the interlocking method and I won’t which up different methods my only quarrel is that I want to have a thicker dread loc Which is why I told the hair tech lady to not do too many locks; And after doing a little more research every time she interloc day here I will tell her not to do too many loops. The look I want to achieve is a thick-ish; and neat dread loc look

Finally I've found someone who interlocks. 😍😍

[@RebekahElaine]

Yes!! It’s my preferred method

[@jennifergarrick6354]

Am saying

[@maki9396]

That's exactly how I feel!! So many do palm roll and it makes me insecure like...should I switch, and now I'm here like no it looks great!

[@sugarhoneyicedt3367]

I’m so happy to see someone interlocking with the same loc size as mine 😍 I’m going on 7 months and I can’t wait to reach your length

[@RebekahElaine]

Yay Good luck on your journey. Try to enjoy every stage!!

[@maki9396]

Same!! It looks great. I look forward to growth now

[@ChristandLocs]

I'm so happy to see *another loc content creator who interlocks*. I myself use a safety pin as its been the least amount of hassle to use. I have a few interlocking videos on my channel but i don't retighten very often.I interlock every 3.5-4 months depending on what I have going on. I started interlocking 5 months into my journey using the 4 pt rotation...but I will be changing to either the 3pt or 2pt rotation soon to encourage my roots thickening further. Great video!

[@RebekahElaine]

I’ll check out your channel!

[@nomhlesekga654]

So the 2pt thickens the loc as compared to the 4pt?

[@ChristandLocs]

Nomhle Sekga I wouldn’t say it thickens it, it’s just not as likely to thin it out

[@nomhlesekga654]

@@ChristandLocs I'm looking for a method that will work for me I want one that will help my locs be thicker. I started with instant locs and I want to maintain the locs on my own. Locticians are expensive. I started with comb coil and my hair did not loc and I had to comb them out and do instant locs

[@ChristandLocs]

Nomhle Sekga unfortunately because instant Locs are usually started by crocheting, the width of the Locs shafts of these types of starter Locs are somewhat set in stone..... you can still protect the new growth as it comes in by doing the 2pt rotation though.

[@fatimamanneh9432]

I interlock every 2 months as well love it because I can shampoo at least twice b4 my locs start to grow out again

[@RebekahElaine]

Nice. So far that’s worked best for me. That way I have enough new growth.

[@fatimamanneh9432]

Rebekah Elaine for me too now in the beginning I was interlocking every month just so I can get the hang of it but I realize I don’t have enough new growth to do so

[@plumercrs1386]

Your locks are absolutely beautiful!

[@RebekahElaine]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@BabyGirlRegineWhite]

Oh my God I didn’t know you had a KZbin channel I’ve had you on Instagram for a good year now

[@RebekahElaine]

Yes girl! I’m not consistent with uploading though.

[@TatianaVictoria]

Love your results!! I’ve been interlocking since the beginning of my loc journey. I’ve been loc’d for 4 months now. I retighten every month since my hair grows so fast. Two weeks after a retighten I already get new growth. I can’t wait for my hair to get to your length! How many locs do you have?

[@RebekahElaine]

I have 137 Locs. My hair looks really full so people always think I have more

[@lilypadrocks872]

@@RebekahElaine mine is 150 and equally grows very fast

[@africauniteacosta8563]

You look beautiful empress 😍 Much love from Guinea west Africa

[@pierre6389]

What method did you use for your starter locs ?

[@RebekahElaine]

I started with two strand twist, but have always interlocked right maintains them.

[@bevlenoir7473]

(im 14 yo) I used to interlock my locs and my moms locs and im ngl its a fun task but its a arm work out when you are doing your own :)

[@RebekahElaine]

Lol, it definitely can seem like a workout. I think I’ve just gotten used to it.

[@Taybay12]

I miss you Mrs.Rebekah I love your oil btw 😭

[@RebekahElaine]

Hey Tay! I miss you too! Tell your mom and sister I said hi 👋🏽. I’m glad you love the oil!!! 💕💕💕

[@sweetpotatoebb]

Do you ever get holes? I seem to get them everytime I interlock and it's a little frustrating.

[@RebekahElaine]

Hi there, I haven’t gotten holes, but I have gotten knots. I think the whole may come from going from the same direction 2 or 3 times in a row. I usually say aloud “up, left, down, right” to make sure I don’t go in the same direction twice.

[@lagrandemarie8695]

Beautiful locks

[@RebekahElaine]

Thank you!!

[@sylviag59]

Thank you for sharing. 👍🏾 I have Sisterlocks and because of COVID-19, I will be retightening my hair soon and will publish a video showing my experience. I am a #newsubscriber and I look forward to more of your content.

[@RebekahElaine]

Nice! I’ll subscribe to your channel now so I can check it out.

[@sylviag59]

Rebekah Elaine thank you. I hope that I will have the stamina and skill that you demonstrated.

[@sheilaedwards491]

Loving it

[@RebekahElaine]

Thank you!

[@bellarae4143]

Love you locs. Have you always done the interlocking method? Also how many locs do you have. Thanks

[@RebekahElaine]

Thank you. Yes, I’ve interlocked since I started them but I’ll palm roll from time to time. And I have 137 locs. I started off with about 150 but combined a few

[@rw7868]

Thanks for this video. I have to do my own hair due to this virus (You I don't like do my own hair), but this is so educational. Hopefully I get it right :)

[@RebekahElaine]

Lol! Oh I know. Desperate times lol. I’m glad it’s helpful. You have a lot of locs so good luck!! Lol

[@margiecasteel3358]

Are they all natural b cause I no extension tear off

[@RebekahElaine]

Yes, my hair is all natural

[@Your_Favorite_Season]

I kinda fudged up my hair and gotten some knotted together. How do you prevent this?

[@RebekahElaine]

Do you interlock or palm roll?

[@Your_Favorite_Season]

@@RebekahElaine interlock

[@RebekahElaine]

Ook. When I first started, I would use clips to section off one loc at a time and I would use two mirrors, if needed, to make sure I could see.

[@chanadillon8935]

Did you begin you Locs this way? Professionally or DIY?

[@RebekahElaine]

I began them DIY. I started with 2 strand twists but I’ve been interlocking my roots since the beginning

[@carolynduckett3839]

How often do you interlock?

[@RebekahElaine]

Sorry I’m just seeing your comment a week later. I interlock every 2-3 months

[@kynotamurray7105]

How many locs do you have? Did you start from braids or twists? You have been doing a GREAT JOB!

[@RebekahElaine]

Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️. I have 137 locs. And I started with twists.

[@ninaenwesi3939]

How long does it take you to interlock? It seems to take me days but I’m getting faster

[@RebekahElaine]

It takes about 3 hours I think. I’m usually multitasking while doing it. I actually have a more recent video that answers that question but I just can’t remember the exact amount of time

[@lamarastephens8412]

What kind of locs do you have

[@RebekahElaine]

I consider them small traditional locs

[@1dyrfullymade]

How many Locs do you have or have you already made a video of it?

[@RebekahElaine]

I do have a video up with a loc count. But I have about 138

[@EmpressDPhoenix]

I don't know if you'd see this but please what point rotation do you use and can tell me how to go about a 3 point rotation? Like say up, down, left and back to up down left... I hope you get my point something I can repeat to myself while doing it so I don't make mistakes and know where to go please.

[@RebekahElaine]

I know exactly what you mean. So I use a 4-point rotation and usually say to myself “up, left, down, right” and when I get to the front I’ll say “up, forward, down, backwards”. I’ve never done a three point rotation. But if I did, I’d imagine it would go “right, down, left, down, right, down...”

[@EmpressDPhoenix]

@@RebekahElaineThanks so much for responding. Please in explaining the points food you mean down, right, left, and down right up instead of down right down you wrote? I'm sorry I just want to be sure it wasn't a mistake. Secondly do 4 points rotation make your locs stiff please?

[@RebekahElaine]

You don’t want to go left and right back to back because that can create a hole in your loc. Whenever you go from the side, you should always follow it with going from the top or bottom. Also, the 4-point rotation hasn’t made my locs stiff

[@EmpressDPhoenix]

@@RebekahElaine thank you so much this has really classified me. I'm grateful.

[@RebekahElaine]

You’re welcome
