Yesss!!! Its such a great method! Im shocked it doesn't get much publicity. 6 years! wow!!! (much respect) I'm following right behind you :) Thank you so much for your kind comment.
Yes to everything you said. Im 4 1/2 months in. I've been retwisting over 400 locs. Everything around my perimeter was slipping within a week. I started interlocking two days ago. No regrets thus far!
Happy 10 1/2 months to you! If I would've read this comment before I split my close, I would've been shocked by the number 400 but I totally get it now. Glad that interlocking worked well for you, it's the only method that I'll use. How are your locs doing?
Heyy Njoki! 6 years!! That's admirable. I so appreciate your comment, it's affirming to know that the information is accurate. I'm also thankful for your kind comment :) Do you self maintain your locs?
Love this I’m on my 3rd journey I started with 2 strand twist and interlocked the roots this time around. I refuse to deal with unraveling and having to redo and retwist every couple days or every time my hair gets wet. So far this has been the most care free and easy going journey by far 🥰
I love your videos …..Always well spoken I had Sistah locs for 15 yrs, but when I moved home to care for my aging mother I could not find anyone to care for my locs so I cut them I started a new set 3 months ago….. my back is locking beautifully but my top is taking forever so I believe my friend will interlock on my next visit
Thank You so much:) 15 years of having sister locks is very impressive. It couldn't have been easy having to cut them. I'm so glad you were able to start a new set and find someone to help with maintaining them. The struggle is so real with locs locking at different paces, in due time, the top will catch up:) I wish you all the best with your upcoming interlocking session. Would love to hear how it turns out.
@@KimKim-dd6wj It's extremely versatile and after being over 10 years natural, my hair started to become a lot of work to maintain. It's fine, low-density, and doesn't hold styles very well.

Thank you so much! I can't wait to watch your journey. Just subscribed to your channel :) I agree that interlocking is such a great decision. So many positives!
Yesss for your two year old sone having interlocks! I also would like to loc my baby’s hair. How has maintenance been with his hair? Congrats on starting your locs a month ago.., I’m very biased about interlocking because i feel like you can’t go wrong. So many pros! So excited for your loc journey :)
Your skin is absolutely gorgeous & I love your locs!! I just started my journey however I’m going to add a few more (I have 124 now) bcus I’m aiming for about 150 ish as well. You have answered the question that I’ve been wondering about… Thank you for being so informative!!
AWWW thank you so much for your kind words :) Yay for starting your loc journey! The beginning is the best part to split and combine until you land on a count that feels comfortable. So glad the video answered your questions :) THank you for watching! 💕
I recently started interlocking my own hair and I was getting discouraged. I really appreciate this video because it made me feel better about it! I agree that it is a learning experience but a fun one.
Aww! I'm so glad that you're feeling better about interlocking. It definitely is a journey of learning but gets better with time :) You'll feel more comfortable as time goes :) I appreciate you watching :)
Ooouu I’m sold. I definitely want to interlock when I start my journey. Thank you for a great video! You, your locs, and your skin tone is just beautiful 😍
You are most welcome, i'm so glad that our hair is similar; i once tried comb coils and experienced unravelling as well. Interlocking works very well for me! hope it does for you.
i am so glad i found this video. i installed two strand twists myself and interlocked my roots. i love the look. i wanted reads cause i am 6yrs post big chop and my hair is pst bra length. ive done it all and now dont have time to manage my loose hair so dreads it is =D but i did a 2 point rotation to interlock and it took me 14hrs to install. i did everything like u said for the install then used a mirror for the front.
I did the same and wanted to palm roll instead to encourage thickness but some locticians are saying it may be difficult and I’ll have to start again. I’m so upset about this. What do you think about 2 point rotation
Thank you so much for watching! Congrats on installing two strand twists. Sounds like we had a similar journey to locing our hair. How is your hair doing? LOVE the two point rotation. Appreciate your comment and wow! So glad the video was helpful
@@laurakasuvu i ended up removing my locs just shy of a year. i noticed my hair thinning and edges. so it took me 2.5 days to comb out my locs. they damaged my hair even though i had a consistent routine.
Your locs are gorgeous! I latch my locs too. I use a latch hook it saves time and stress. I love to keep my scalp clean. Do a skin tutorial. You have lovely skin!!!!❤❤
Awww, thank you so much! It definitely saves time and stress! clean slavp is where its at :) I appreciate your kind words. I'd love to do a skincare routine (funny thing, it used to be extremely basic but I recently started having an actual routine).
My son wants locs. I had someone give him two strand twists back around Easter and we're letting those loc....but whenever I try to retwist, they unravel almost immediately...so I'm thinking about interlocking for him.... I'm just a bit nervous. But for an active little dude I'm thinking this might be the right direction to go in for him!
Thanks so much for this! I just ended my loc journey early because retwists wasn’t working for me, cut them off and will start again with two strand twists.
You're so welcome! I hear you! I restarted mine and got microlocs installed. Have you restarted your loc journey? Did you try different retest methods? Sometimes it takes some trial and error and learning what your hair responds to.
I combed out my 1st set after having extentions for a year. During that time I was interlocking. I restarted with 2 strand twist. I have 4c low density hair and decided to retwist on this journey. During the first 6mths I found that my hair every morning was sticking up all over the place and need to be wet to tame it. Wetting it caused unraveling so I crocheted the twist to combat that but still retwisting the roots. Ladies and gents, I am one that can't do smells and needs to wash my hair. This was problematic and after 6 month my new growth on low density hair was not locking. Good thing is that my part to loc ratio is much better and my new growth is growing with my loc. It wasnt doing that the first go round. I have decided to go back to interlocking I will make sure that I have enough new growth to loosly complete a 4point rotation and not tighten to the scalp in hopes that will help not create a complacted loc.
How many locs do you have? I started interlocking because I have a scalp condition that cause excessive flaking and I knew that retwisting wouldn’t work because I need to wash my hair a lot my frequently.
I have roughly around 150/2 ish locs. I’m so glad that interlocking works for you! I agree that interlocking allows frequent hair washing (which is a plus :) ) How long have you been locd?
@@laurakasuvu I’ve been locd for 8 months now. I have 102 locs I specifically told the stylist to do fewer sections because I want to have a thicker and fuller look. The process is coming along better than I expected but now there is another problem. The stylist that does the interlocking method doesn’t seem to be as skilled or as knowledgeable with how the method should be done. I looked over my locs and a few of them actually has holes which is a little saddening to me, but I have such thick hair you wouldn’t be able to tell at all. After watching tons of videos I understand what causes these holes. You see, you’re not supposed to go through the seem loop twice. From now on I am going to an actual dread technician that is knowledgeable on the interlocking method.
Happy basketball season! I'm sure by now the season has started. I recommend interlocking for active lifestyles because the sweat can cause unravelling, however, some people are able to utilize other retwists methods with little to now unravelling. How is your hair holding up so far? interlocking would require less maintenance over time which might be fitting for your active season.
Great question! For me personally, I saw more length after retwists when my locs were forming. Prior to this set of locs, I had a lot of shrinkage with the palm roll method when my locs were starter locs. Either method will ultimately help retain length in the long run because hair is not shedding from over manipulation. Hope this helps!
You can, but interlocking tends to make a tighter lock, so know that they will most likely be thinner than the retwisted section. A 3-point rotation might give you a less tight loc than a 4-point
My loctician told me that if you have been doing regular retwists for a while and you randomly do interlocking, it might weaken the loc at that interlock section so you need to be aware of that.. That interlock knot is going to look very obviously different on your loc too, so remember this.
@@NjokiKiiru I did starter locs with 2 strand twist and want to continue with palm roll as I heard interlock doesn’t allow your hair to swell. My hair is so fine and thin so very worries about this. People are telling me to start over but I have around 100 in my hair and really don’t want to. What would you advise

Same here! The other methods really don't work well for my hair.
