Awesome video!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🥰

[@DavidJaysWay]

Thank you! ✨🙌🏾

[@sweetpeechiz]

That’s right - not everything is for everybody! Please check your consultant to make sure they’re for you 😉

[@DavidJaysWay]

You’ve got to! Folks out here missing locs and have no idea 😧😅

[@jamesbennett8637]

Following your videos has inspired me to interlock my loc’s with a 2 point rotation and reduce the diameter of my loc’s on the perimeter of my hairline while adding more loc’s too! I was dreading interlocking my now 130 4’x1/4” diameter instant/crochet loc’s but now I can complete the entire retightening session in 2 hours! I’m planning on DIY my brother loc’s and opening a loc business myself now that I feel so confident with my skills! Thanks so much!🎉🎉🎉

[@DavidJaysWay]

That’s awesome! Kudos to you trying something new and deciding to start a business from it! ✨🙌🏾

Honestly you’ve inspired me to start maintaining my own microlocs. I paid $650 for install and $175 every 6 weeks. It’s been 2 years and I’m tired lol . Thanks for the inspiration. 😊

[@DavidJaysWay]

I’m so glad to hear that I inspired you to self-maintain! $175 every 6 weeks?? That is steep! But I do understand why they charge that much because it’s a lot of work, but dang that’s a whole week of groceries for my family 😨😅

[@Cayden_H]

@@DavidJaysWay exactly. My Husband and I could use that for something else. I watched your retie video and I think I can do it lol.

[@DavidJaysWay]

You definitely can!! You’ve got this 🙌🏾

[@Prophetessgwb]

I only have 94 locs but I am only 4 months in my journey, I know I didn't want sister locsor micro locs. I started watching you and TP Locs And you both help me so much

[@DavidJaysWay]

Thank you so much for watching!! I love TP Locs’ channel too 🙌🏾

[@ladyofwisdom2]

I enjoyed the video. Your hair is always on point!! ❤❤ I have a little over 200 braids locs. It still takes me over 2 hours to interlock it. Thankfully, I didn't pay to get sister locs. I was quoted $1000-$1,200 for my consultation due to the length of my hair. My paycheck probably wouldn't have covered that. 😂🤣

[@DavidJaysWay]

I know that’s right!! I’m at 314 and the way my bank account is set up, that wouldn’t have worked for me either 😅🤣

[@ladyofwisdom2]

@@DavidJaysWay Right, my gosh! That's more than my rent. 😂🤣

[@keesnappd4960]

I have sister locks and I thought it was going to be easier and cheaper. Boy, was I wrong. I have to get them tightened every 4 weeks. That penny is beautiful I tell you!

[@DavidJaysWay]

Every 4 weeks?? Your hair must grow so fast! Which I guess is a blessing and a curse at the same time.

[@keesnappd4960]

@@DavidJaysWay yes it does and it shrinks really bad so the length only show when I braid them and leave in over night

[@DavidJaysWay]

That shrinkage is no joke

[@keesnappd4960]

@@DavidJaysWay I love that you took the time out to Converse with me back and forth. That is so awesome! You just got a new subbie just from you being so fantastic

[@DavidJaysWay]

Thank you so much for subbing and also for taking time out of your day to leave a comment! I really do appreciate it 🙏🏾🙌🏾

[@LadyDee150]

These are 5 great reasons! Things that anyone considering sister or micro locs should definitely 🤔 I especially like the fifth reason 😄😍

[@DavidJaysWay]

I was really digging hard to find a 5th reason to think about and that was all I could come up with 😅

[@PlainOlCourtney]

Y'all better DIY! He told y'all!! P.S. When do we meet the wife? We met the pretty girls!

[@DavidJaysWay]

🤣😂 She’s been a little camera shy but she’s coming!

[@PlainOlCourtney]

@@DavidJaysWay that'd be awesome! Especially if she helps with your hair upkeep. She may have some perspective to share. 💪🏿

[@sweetpeechiz]

Beautiful commentary on SL / ML or Locs 😊 But please be careful out here when it comes to your SL , everyone is not out here for your good on your hair periodT. I let a girl In Hayward CA, name Kristin do my Sisterlock install- 🤦🏽‍♀️ she was awful to say the least and very unprofessional. I went to her for a couple of more months, but my gut told me to stop going to her. She did not know what she was doing. She did not do the Sisterlocs grid- she messed up my hair- and had the nerve to get upset because I stopped tipping her. In the meantime I was looking for a new sister Loctician ….and I actually reported her to Sisterlock foundation . I have a new lady now , in San Leandro California. She is amazing ! Some of these folks out here do not want to take care of your hair. They only want the money. And her attitude was definitely from the devil.. If you feel it in your gut, please do your research. Do not go to the first person you see! This is my second set of Sisterlocks. Soon I will be doing a channel myself regarding my Sisterlock journey. 😉 be safe out here folks when it comes to your hair!

[@DavidJaysWay]

Oh wow!! I’m so sorry to hear about what you went through but glad you found your current loctician and that you’re having a much better experience!! It’s so true that you have to trust your gut because some people are just there for a check and couldn’t care less about the health of your hair. Please let me know when you start your channel so I can follow! 🙌🏾✨

[@lakia081882]

I interloc mine every 6-8 weeks, it takes most of the day to do mine. Never really timed it 😂 next time I will.

[@DavidJaysWay]

I can do mine in 6 hours but I split it into two nights every time to keep my sanity 😅

What about knotting your new growth

I’ve never done the knotting method
