      If you don’t mind answering, do you interlock the roots right after installing the locs? Or once you need a retwist?

    Just wanted to say that your video gave me the confidence to go through with doing my own micro locs!!! This is major because I’ve been contemplating getting locs, watched tons of video on what kind of locs, couldn’t find a loctitian where I live, considered diy but gave up because I thought it would be too complicated, became frustrated with the current state of my hair and told myself that I’ll find a way and then came across your video!!! 😍🤩THANK YOU!!

    This is definitely an inspirational I have medium to natural long hair with some very uneven parts and a few years ago I fell in love with this curly wig that I wore longer than I should’ve neglecting the back part of my hair creating the coolest thick dread which then became unruly to which I had to cut halfway and hopes to comb out the parts that were looser and now I wish I would’ve left it and if anything taken the patience and time to remove it I’m definitely thinking about starting my life journey and I think that starting it with twist store micro locks is definitely an easy way to go

    They are so perfect! How many locs do you have because I’m having a hard time determining if I have microlocs or small traditional locs. I started my locs on a short tapered haircut and I have fine hair. I see most people with microlocs have 200 or more.

      I literally just started my 2nd set of locs after cutting off my traditional locs that I had for 6 years. I also have 4C fine low density hair. I have short hair and had a tapered haircut when I started but I love that it’s going to grow into a cute bob. So go for it! I just posted a video on my page of my first retie 🤗

    I twisted my hair over a two day period and after 4 wks they were slightly matted and i left too lazy to undo my hair..so indecided to just let it loc on its own. Im about 8-9wks in now but the hair keeps unravelling at the back n around the edges and i did t really do a grid pattern or middle part i did a side part. The retightening is the stressful part on your own, but i cant afford to pay anyone rn
