[@ricengravy29]

I found a loctician in my area who starts microlocs with 2 strand twists and interlock. I am excited to start my loc journey on 7/31/21.

This was so informative! Thank you. My natural hair is a challenge for me to maintain with the shrinkage and tangle so I keep them in crotchet locs. I really wanted sister locs, but when I consulted, I was told that my hair was good texture, but very fine, dry and too brittle...my hair began coming out at the root immediately when interlocking. So I can’t do that method in the shape my hair’s in without losing a significant amount of hair and volume😓. This two strand method with human hair though 👀 ... I didn’t know you could start locs with human hair and keep it in until the natural hair grows to desired length!!! I’m totally sold on that! My shrinkage is what has kept me from doing this for the longest time. I feel it goes from shoulder length to about two inches in length 😂 I desire the medium to long length with volume, but now I can have the option of both worlds!! Totally excited about this.

[@SMOQE77]

Whoopi Goldberg started her locs with braids. And her locs looks lovely. I've started locs on a couple heads with different texture. PSA: I'm not a professional loctician. However, I can tell you from my experience what I've observed from how I started and maintained their hair. As I keep up with their hair, I don't use gel or any thick consistency products. It helps with avoiding buildup in their locs and the heaviness that can occur from buildup. Their locs have flourish. Their roots have thicken and grows healthier. My other advice is drinking plenty of water, you staying hydrated keeps your hair hydrated. Also, what you eat also effects your scalp. I said that to say this. However you start your hair, it's really about the maintenance. I have seen loc hair grow so fast, thick, and beautiful. For your case, base on what you said, I would suggest smaller locs because it's not so heavy. Also, seek another consultation. See what they have to say. Do what YOU feel is comfortable for you and what you see is working for your hair. Hope this helps and wishing you the best on your natural hair journey 🙂

[@ramaiahmirembepassionate4YHWH]

Hi, thanks for the video, great information for those who want to start their loc journey however I have to stress something here that people have to consider before making up their mind on what type of locs they go for. The smaller the locs in size, the more often you have to retighten the roots because the regrowth springs up quickly, pushing the locs up: if you take more than 4 weeks to retighten your sister locs or micro locs, they will begin to weaken at the root hence requiring repairing in order to strengthen them then interlocked to keep them in place. Otherwise they will begin to grow outside of the loc and hang on a thread. I’m speaking out of experience because I have seen many clients come to me who had their hair started in some other place else and they come to me with weak locs that need repairing. I also have noticed that the longer you leave the sister locs or micro locs to 2-3 months, before retightening them, if the stylist doesn’t know how to crochet the locs with a 0.6mm needle to repair them, and they just interlock them, this makes the locs have an uneven strand. It will have big and small bumps on the loc. However when you maintain them within 4-6 weeks, they stay consistent. One lady told me that she used to be told to leave them for two months and then book for a retightening session but they used to cut out the weak locs then put them back, charging her £10 per loc repaired on top of the usual retightening fee. When she came to me, I repaired her locs once and told her to retighten them monthly, she has not experienced any breakage or thin locs hanging on a thread. She’s never gone back to her previous stylist. Now coming to traditional locs, depending on the size too, medium to large locs, I recommend people retighten them every two to three months, those with what we call “wicks” can retighten them once a year because those are really massive locs. They take longer for the regrowth to push through. The texture as well matters for those who can go longer without retightening the traditional locs. Interlocking the hair helps it to be locked away instantly and crotcheting it too does the same as opposed to using products like gel or wax which take longer for the hair to properly Matt and loc itself. Just remember, the smaller the locs, the more often you ought to have them retightened and they will have a beautiful finished look ! 🙏🏼

Great informative video. I'm going to start my microlocs with two strand twists. I'm unsure if I'm going to interloc the roots at the beginning i want to see what happens. My hair is fine strands, medium density i think 300 is a good aim but it depends on the thickness so... I'm not going to interloc the roots until my hair is twisted, it gives me the chance to make changes before i interloc. This video has helped

[@lbkeels224]

Erin, this is exactly what I’m planning to do. I’ll interlock later because I want to make sure it’s what I want, and the sizing is correct. I’ve watched numerous videos and it’s seems like two strand twist would be best for my hair type. Good luck on your micro loc journey. 😘💪🏾

This has been extremely informative. I’ve been considering getting sisterlocks for years now but I’m apprehensive due to the strict maintenance. I’m now considering microlocs. I two strand twist my hair frequently and would wear them twisted for nearly a month. A few would unravel because I’m constantly playing in my hair. So, I think my best bet would be to start my loc journey with interlocking and two strand twists on the end. I just the amount of time it’ll take to start and retighten them

Yes because the method I used to start my two strand twists was similar to that of Senegalese twists, the roots were arleady tight enough that's why I didn't interlock them with a tool.
