STARTER LOCS TUTORIAL: TWO STRAND TWISTS {KIESHA ARIELLE}

STARTER LOCS TUTORIAL: TWO STRAND TWISTS {KIESHA ARIELLE}
What's good guys?! So sorry for the delayed upload today I swear I need to get my laptop fixed, nonetheless as the saying goes: "Better Late than Never".
In today's video I would love to share with you how I started my Loc Journey by demonstrating on my son's hair. Yes, he too has begun his journey and I can hardly wait to see how they blossom.
I am using the exact methods I used when starting my locs, so this will give you an insight on my parting pattern and loc method which I have spoken on many times. I intend to maintain his locs the same way I do mine, as you would have seen I use the same moisturizing technique when prepping his hair.
You will also see how I secure my roots in the beginning which helped with keeping my starter locs looking neater for longer (interlocking). If you are interested in purchasing the latch hook crochet needle I used to interlock then click this link:

I've had my locs for three years. Best choice yet. Mines was started as Two Strand Twist as well. I'm doing my two and three year old hair the same way too.

[@Natty_red]

You are amazing. This tutorial was the best. Clear explanation and great visual. I think I can start these on my hair with much confidence. Thank you.

[@homeschoolie4933]

Great work momma! He looks like he enjoyed it some people love hands in their hair. You two are the cutest! I did my two strand twists two weeks ago and several slipped at the roots I am going to go back and fix them with your technique thanks Keisha! ❤️

[@homeschoolie4933]

Kiesha Arielle thank you! I don’t really want to continue interlocking I’ve seen that the locks are not a soft as twisted ones. I have mixed hair that behaves both like Caucasian and African American hair so while my twisted ends are holding I now have about 5 inches at the root that are no longer twisted after two weeks and no tangling yet so I’m going to wash deep condition comb out and start fresh ❤️

[@questionthat]

Oh man! When you were moving his head around that brought back so many memories! I remember those days so well. Thanks for the video! My whole family either has or has had locs at some point. But my sister wants to start hers again and I needed a good tutorial on how to start them for her. Thanks for sharing!

[@focusedontruth4862]

I had no idea I could interloc when starting locs. This makes starting my journey much less intimidating😏 Thank you for sharing. Shalom (Peace) 🤗

I think I will start my daughters locs from watching the video you did with you son. You made it look so easy. I'm not good at doing my own hair. I can't see what I'm doing. So I will have someone else start mine. Thinking about doing videos as well now.

Thank you for this video as my kid wants dreads. This is the best method I feel comfortable doing. We're excited to start.

[@missnicole109]

Great job. I'll be starting my daughters locs in a week or so. I considered braidlocs. But I think I will two strand twist them. I'll start it off by braiding at the roots. And taking a needle and black thread to hold the ends from unraveling. He did a great job at sitting still!!

[@mhizvania11]

Sonya lawson Hi dear I want to start my locs but am sure if I should braid the hair from the root and twist later so seeing this gives me hope is possible.

[@lindamaxwell3198]

I really enjoy your videos. You're the best I've seen. I started my locs in Feb 2018 and, like you, I started with 2 strand twist. After watching you and following your videos, I have been ableto interlock my twist, so now they look much neater. Thanks. I will continue watching.

[@mylithaculpepper5963]

This really helped me a lot because I never knew you could tighten the roots by doing that I always thought it works just by twisting it

[@deshannanegret1139]

I did your method on my daughter hair. It came out great she is 15 and love the style.

He is soooooo adorable 😍😍 he looks so snuggly and cute in his jammies ♥️ great job mommy!!

[@daricklilleygirl]

I was wondering how I could start my locks with two strand twists without it unraveling. Now I know. Thank You.

[@therealshortycocoa845]

I love your son's hair! I found your channel this morning and watched a few videos because I just started my youngest son's locks earlier this week. He has 45 locks too. I used similar parting for his hair and I plan to interlock the roots for security. Your locks are awesome, too BTW. :-)

[@mariavictoria2188]

I have decided to start locks on my natural hair after wacthing your son's and am gona follow wat eva u do to his locks so wen ever u do any thing new to make sure u update me so dat u don't leave me behind

[@mariavictoria2188]

Kiesha Arielle yes and we gona be in da same journey am really happy coz my hair came out just like your son's tho da parting was so dificult and not straight but i made it

[@ms.kellam9616]

So..... how many times do you interlock with that needle and so you go left right left? (Meaning two different directions?) 🤔 let me know thanks

[@marycrosby7436]

You are very good at what you are able to ACCOMPLISH. I was in a hairdresser's waiting for my braids it took 6 hours..by the way your son is a cutie. Thank u looking forward to watching you next weekend thanks and God bless you

[@1Gibson]

Straight forward, thank you

[@BL3SSed-Bliss]

That crochet tool is so cool.

[@EveyCupcake]

This helped me so much! I started my son with braided loca, but they just don’t want to agree with his 2b/3c/4a/4b hair. But I am going to loosen them and try the two strand and interlock his roots this time. I am an aspiring loctician, so this is very informative for me.

[@kieshaarielle]

That's fantastic! But, if the two strand method doesn't work then check out this video for other methods to consider: *Before Starting your Loc Journey* kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIivgaR_n5uNmJY

[@annunkitribe8994]

@@kieshaarielle yes☺. I need advice. My twin daughters are turning 9 next month. They have 4c texture hair. I'm going bananas trying to learn and under the differences between all the different locs and what would be best for them. I'm trying to teach them how to love themselves as they are. Girls are teasing them at school about their hair🙁. I don't want them to think something is wrong with their hair because it's not straight or curly. Basically I'm trying to choose what is best for them to start their hair/spiritual journey. I've came across coil twist, braid locs, two strand twist. I don't know which to choose from.

Hi I'm interested in starting my own locs I have a question for you. Do you use the crochet needle twice to inter loc or how many times do you do it? Also thanks for the simple tutorial I've watched a lot and a lot of them looks a little complicated but yours is simple to understand and I like the crochet needle idea your the first I've seen to do it.

[@shani7930]

@@kieshaarielle Do you HAVE to interlock or can you simply just two strand twist it?

[@aquariuslady8277]

Beautiful job. So cute. Its time for my two strand starter locks to be retwisted and I think I will interlock at the roots like that before my first wash. But now it looks like your using a latchook and not a crochet hook. Is it? I crochet and that doesnt look like a crochet hook. Not sure tho because I'm using my phone screen and am not on my computer.

[@aquariuslady8277]

Kiesha Arielle Oh Ok thanks. I'm gonna buy one today.

[@aquariuslady8277]

Kiesha Arielle I did my first wash last week. The back 3 rows of my hair and the rest are totally different grades..its crazy, I know. I have 4c hair mostly but the back 3 rows are 4a. (there, It wont even comb coil...comes out like a twisted wave) So those unraveled with the wash. So I retwisted my roots overall, and did new 2-strand twists for those back rows then interlocked them with the latchook. So far so good.

[@javiervasquez7333]

I'm gonna start locks too, just one quick question, When do you wash your hair again after doing this ?

[@lalambe100]

Looks very nice. So after after a couple of weeks you would just twist the root right?

[@daricklilleygirl]

following......I look forward to the updates

[@tassued.1879]

I love it! I wish I would have watched this before I paid several hundred dollars. My granddaughter stated her loc journey 4 days ago, and the top crown is larger than the sides and back. I let the young lady know that I did not like it, but she insisted they were the same. Can I take them out and retwist myself just spraying it with water since product was added? It is about 12 locs. Thanks for any advice.

[@kieshaarielle]

Yes you certainly can undo and reinstall them...and I really dislike when hairdressers do that, I have had such an experience when I paid for them to install Marley Twists before

[@tassued.1879]

Thanks so much! She used Design Essentials curl forming custard to twist. Should I use that or just mist with water?

[@kieshaarielle]

You can don't have to mist or use any products, but yes you can mist with water if you prefer
