I did my braids yesterday... and it was stretched whew Chile I looked like a healthy crackhead

[@LyntoyaLockett]

Idk why this was so funny to me😂 but I felt this in my soul #samehere 🤣

[@Braidlocs]

the way we look when the wind hits it sideways though.. 🥺🥺

[@rayneyodlum]

Lmaoooo girl this comment took me out 😭😭

[@PlainOlCourtney]

Maam. It's we. We look like healthy crackheads. 😩😒

[@kierrameenakkiss6298]

Yes do man lmao

[@Rochele18]

I installed my braidlocs about three weeks ago. YAAAAAY!!! My experience has been soooooo different lol. I actually used to wear my natural hair in the plaits as a protective style ALL the time so wearing them now is no problem. It's one of my favorite styles! But it's so much better when done on non-stretched hair to me. It takes a little more effort but well worth it. I did them really small (because I wanted sisterlocs but not the price if them lol) and plaited as far down as I possibly could and the ends coiled. The first wash was soooooo awesome!!! I can't keep my hands out of my head feeling for new growth lol!!!

[@Braidlocs]

congrats!!!

[@Pre0115]

Do you interlock your new growth or do you coil now?

[@Braidlocs]

oops, sorry for the late reply! I have inly interlocked my hair since the beginning.

[@diedrecallam]

Yeah. My experience was very different too. Sooo easy. I just started my second set of braidlocs - quite a bit bigger. Gonna record this journey too.

[@rainthomps694]

I am in the middle of re-tightening my braidlocs for the first time. I was completely freaked out by the bulb and I thought I was doing something was wrong!! Thanks for this video!!

[@FrassLegend]

Always appreciate your videos . Started my locs 2 months ago with braids & interlock also . Glad I came across ur channel . Blessings

[@mrssunflower72h78]

Man your teeth🥰😍🥰 your hair is cute! I started my braidlocs on my 10 yr old daughter’

[@alitagrandison6195]

Angel H, truth my first thought was her teeth are BEAUTIFUL!!

[@DiaryOfaManeAddict]

Thank you for sharing! You and your locs are beautiful! Side note Your eyes and teeth are so bright and gorgeous!

[@tiffany-of4mp]

Love your videos! I’m one week in🙌🏾...#Excited...Please keep the videos coming!!!

[@JourneyWithAjah]

Your videos are so informative and detailed I really appreciate your perspective! I'm pretty sure I didn't make my braids small enough but hopefully they'll still be as cute as yours

[@Amarachi5]

Thanks for sharing your journey! You can use crochet hook to even out the locs, so you won´t see those bumps so much.

[@diamond_kendra]

Thank you so much for this video! I am in the process of coloring my hair in prep for doing my braid locs. This was so informative. I am doing my locs a bit bigger than yours at first, I’m super excited!

[@Braidlocs]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mgnjnse]

I started my locs this summer and I chose to interlock and my baby locs looked pregnant 😂

[@Braidlocs]

hahahaha

[@denisesteward5357]

Your Locs are PERFECTION!

[@veronicalgraham]

I'm a new subscriber & I absolutely LOVE your videos! Would you please mind sharing pics of your early loc days? Like the styles that you mentioned in this video? It would really help to have a visual of the styles that you're referring to. Thanks for the great content!

[@Braidlocs]

Hi Veronica! Unfortunately, my phone erased itself and I lost all my initial pics of the very beginning. I do have some of the later months in my 2 year journey video on my channel, and it has the styles that I was referring to!

[@veronicalgraham]

Awesome, I'll be sure to check those out. Thanks so much!

[@eleesiasportraits6114]

I think I'm oging to do braid locs. I actually WANT frizz. I have fine, low density hair so I'll need the frizz and fuzziness to fight the scalpy look.

[@soniairaguha2086]

Man I woke up late smh but we want more make up tips sis!

[@Shanki2011]

I’m so happy you made this vid. I’m almost a month loc’d, and I haven’t washed it yet. I interlocked but some where coming undone. The frizziness is horrible but I rocks it. I really do thank you. Any more tips?

[@Braidlocs]

welcome!! some will come undone and you'll just have to redo them until they finally loc. Frizz is the middle name of locs, so embrace them!

[@Shanki2011]

Braidlocs I have been obsessed with my hair. My hair is beyond frizzy lol. I wish I could send a pic to show you. I tie down my hair and it comes off. I need help lol. I try to teach my mother but she doesn’t get or do it right

[@Braidlocs]

You can also try using a 0.6mm crochet hook (without the latch) to loop in those frizzy parts. I will make a video showing how to soon.

[@Shanki2011]

@@Braidlocs Oh thank you that would be great.

[@swimmingthoughts393]

Your braidloc journey is incredible! - Can I ask, after how long from braiding it did you begin to interlock? As I guess the moment you interlock is when your braids go from braids to actual braidlocs!

[@KEKEK.]

💟

[@earthlycolorbrown6246]

I wonder if "the bump" in between interlocking and three strand braids sounds like a knot created by not pulling the entire shaft of braid licks all the way through the base center of each loc.

[@sh-lly]

If you can remember, how many interlocks did you have to do for your hair bumps to look even? My shit looks like the rocky road of locs after 2 interlocks and I'm not trying to have this fluctuating loc look for mad time.

[@lifeandnumbers]

I want to install my braidlocs in December. This video was really helpful! Did you have products in your hair before you installed them?

[@Braidlocs]

I had my leave in conditioner that I used for my loose natural hair. But I washed out my hair the next day after my install

[@boladiane7540]

Hey girl. Have u installed them yet ?

[@omnilawrence5792]

You’re teeth are sooo white like omg I can’t even look at anything else! So beautiful 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

[@jasonstone8114]

How long did it take for the braid look to go away?

[@Chimmy0857]

So i did loose braids as my starter locs but my hair gets so frizzy. Although i like the frizzy rough look, i want the neater look sometimes so how do i reducing the frizz when I'm palm rolling or is interlocking neater?

[@DorGiftofGod]

I just did my own my only concern is I don't have a lot of braids I tried doing them smaller and my hair was super thin so I tried doing them bigger but now my hair looks stringy I'm worried 😟 😨

[@boladiane7540]

Hi girl . Did u use the mirror ?Or u went by feeling your scalp ?

[@Braidlocs]

95% feeling of scalp. 5% looking at mirror for my edges and perimeter

[@Kiran-tg3zl]

I have braids in right now, how long would it take to lock up into dreads ?

[@earthlycolorbrown6246]

It depends on hair health, genetics, hair texture, hair density, and nutrition practices along with lifestyle, health, and fitness. It could take 3 weeks to 2 years mature.

[@classassignment3643]

When you braided it down to start it, did you use products?

[@Braidlocs]

I washed, applied my leave in conditioners, and blow dried the hair. Then I braided it

[@fairydust3792]

Does this work with lose curly hair

[@diamsyal4967]

Is there any other way to tighten besides interlocking ?

[@Braidlocs]

you can palm roll your hair as well. those are the 2 tightening options

[@booginas]

So this is the same as loc-stitching where you use those knitting needles tools to loop the hair on itself at the root?

[@Braidlocs]

I use a safety pin..

[@booginas]

@@Braidlocs Girl, with my big- fingered, non-coordinated self, I'd be better off trying to use chopsticks on my hair. And I can't even eat food with chopsticks.

[@Braidlocs]

hahahahaha

[@tayybann]

Why are you so beautiful

[@awakeningoftoni5724]

How do you tighten it?

[@Braidlocs]

interlocking

[@tumwinebarekye6201]

What are braid out?

[@Braidlocs]

you braid the locs, wait a day, unbraid them, and tada - curly locs

[@valerielb77]

Are those Extensions and your hair

[@Braidlocs]

this is all my hair

[@AerielSade]

What the heck are braidlocs? 🗣

[@Braidlocs]
