Contrary to popular beliefs, a retwist is not supposed to loc your hair. OK. Then what locs hair? Time . If you want your hair to loc faster, wash it frequently. #krismcdred #locs #dreadlocks #retwist
@davinbuchman it seems like some of my roots are thin my hair was to soft to start with twist or anything else then braids.. after the braids I tried the pal roll but I sweat ALOT so they didn't say I had no choice but to interlock and now some are thin😞
Palm rolling in fact DOES lock your hair. Crocheting is not a requirement. My locs were palm rolled, my father’s locs were palm rolled, and so were my grandfather’s. Everyone’s hair is different.
he saying the act of doing that doesnt lock up the hair, which it doesnt. doing that and leaving it allows it to lock naturally into the sections that you want instead of being all over the place like freeforms are. its still just time and water like he said.
Advice for anyone starting I started with a bald head and just let it grow I used a sponge for 4 months washed once every two weeks and used citcus oil and aloe Vera gel and let it be it grew now my hair is damn near at my shoulder after just one year. You have to let it be we're all different what you eat matters. It's so cool never had long hair before. Just let it be and remember to wash your hair. Dirty hair does not grow and it will break off.
Not going to lie your the reason i started my loc journy and now i feel like they are more than just my locs their my unique foot print throughout my lifes journey.
It actually depends on your hair texture. My hair has always locked just fine. Interlocking shortens your true length and crotchet is a new method. Two strand twist works just fine and coils just give the cylinder shape. It’s just moisture, time and patience that actually locs your hair if it’s not INSTANT LOCKED, simple
Disagree on interlocking shortening your hair, it depends on the technique . I have sisterlocks and use a 4-point method for retighten, it’s basically a tool-assisted woven reverse-braid technique, it doesn’t make knots like other methods
Yessss! I get questions from others asking why their roots won’t lock… they’re not supposed / going to! 💚🌱 unless you’re using one of those other methods you named. Just takes time as they move on down.
dude you’ve just about been the best damn person for loc advice i’ve been able to find over the years. your videos helped me start my first set of locs in high school and they helped me start/maintained my current set
This makes so much sense. I have fine hair and the only thing that locs my hair is crocheting and interlocking. It was easier when first starting my locs bc I could just let it do it’s thing and take all the time it needs to loc. But after years, I can’t wait 6 months for that new growth to loc up. I don’t even palm roll anymore. Just interlock it!
I’m five months in, and retwisted 3 separate times. My locs unraveled every time I started interlock the roots and my hair hasn’t moved. The man isn’t lying.
I’m almost 4 months in. My initial installation was comb coils and it didn’t last a month. I went back and switched to interlock. I haven’t had any maintenance for almost 3 months and my hair is locking up and growing like crazy! He is so right!👍🏼
@@moniquerandall3853just so you know you can't switch from interlocking to Palm rolling.. The introduction hair sheds off over time... Is either interlock or Palm roll... Not Both
@@wildwaymonee8o8 I switched to interlocking because the comb coils did not work for me. That was my initial installation, a one time event. I’ve been interlocking every since. I have no intentions of doing both. Interlocking works for me.
I’ve been retwisting(palm rolling, etc) since I started my hair and my hair started locking in the first 3 months. It’s been locking just fine ever since.
I disagree. Interlocking is for those that desire to shampoo their hair often. Palm rolling vs Interlocking should be recommended based on the client's lifestyle. For example: those that workout regularly & sweat in their head. Its to maintaining good hygiene, not a sign of impatience.
Exactly! I went to a new loctician. When she pulled out the slop I said no!!!!! I had to show her how to crochet myself 😡😡I explained that the slop/dryer doesn’t work…ugh!!!!
When I was considering locs I saw this video. I installed instant locs using the crochet hook. So thanks!! That was the best method for me and I LOVE my locs!!
It all depends on texture but time is definitely a factor for all hair types. Some locs longer to loc than others. Ive started most of my clients w/2-strand twists & palm rolling. The silkier hair takes longer than nappy hair textures, in my experience... and i have caucasian clients as well. Gotta be patient either way. But yes, interloc'ing is immediate results
This hair is EVERYTHING. im ponderimg if we would consider these small wicks or thick locs. Im feeling like he achieved small luxurious wicks. Which makes it even more impressive.
Ima be honest, everytime I get a retwist, sometimes my retwist do loc up from the my root at times like 40%, my hair is already locked because I use the crochet needle of course to lock it💯
This is true... I let my hair free form for 3 years and i didnt do anything but put water on it every day and massage the water on there everyday and it locced on its own ..my fiance use to ask me after she sees me ..." Did you locc your hair". I always say no.. i just wash it everyday and let it go sooner or later it became loccs... I literally just got it done Friday...
It only took me 6 years to realize that 😂 and i am always mad my roots look a hot mess after awhile because my hair grows out of my locs. I just recently started interlocking to give a bit of a neater appearance
When I was in my 30’s and early 40’s I had two strand twist done. This was so long ago, I’m now 60. People would stop me in the streets to find out who was locking my hair. It was very thick back then and not so today. I had to tell them my hair wasn’t locked it was just twisted. They would give me a puzzled look as though I was lying or they were confused. For whatever reasons that’s what my hair looked like and I always retwisted every two weeks. I think my hair was semi locking and that’s why people thought I had locs.
I just separate and light twist my locs after every wash to catch loose hair. Just water and time...for sure. I lost 2 loc crocheting, but IDK what i was doing 😅😅
Hello everyone, I am the type that likes to wear a source cap covering my dreadlocks. I open it once in a week but now it's summer time I don't know how to do it because it's very hot. My dreadlocks are very precious to me so I only open it once in a week for people to see it.
When it’s time for my next re-twist I’m going to take your advice and not bleach my hair, but I do wanna lighten it and I’m also going to try interlocking
All facts. I’ve had interlocked and palm rolled, interlocks locked damn near in a week 😂 Palm rolls look crispy for a few weeks but start to unravel and puff up quick. Both look dope af to me 🔥
Thank youuuuu so much this makes the most sense I been so scared to interlock since I started my move because I don’t want them to thin but they be so frizzy
💯💯 Yup! I’m 7.5 years in and I just discovered this. Palm rolling pissed me off. But I just started interlocking and I used the .5 crochet needle to seal them as well. I will NEVER palm roll again.
It's been about 3 months and im already loc-ing! It def depends on your hair type and your hair regime as well, but moisture, time, and maintanence is key.
I am relieved. Thank you for this information. I wear two strand twists and refresh bi-weekly. Palm/finger rolling my roots using glycerin/water/oil mix caused some concern about my twists locking. Not interested at all in the loc style. Just not for me. But thanks again for the info.
I just started my journey a week ago. I got the two strand twists. I washed my hair already. I think it's senseless to not wash your hair until the 4th week mark. Even though my twist didn't unraveled, it did loosen up. I think i have to interlock my hair.
Hate interlocking just for the reason that it makes your Locs short and don’t show the real growth Will give it a try - palm locking as I’ve seen friends do it and their hair is really long
My hair is so thick and tight it will lock in 3 months. I semi free form locking my hair by backcombing my hair today. I am done doint my hair its getting way too expensive and taking alot of time and i am grinding more right now so dont got time to detangle and do hair foer 2 hours.
That is the most luxurious hair I have ever seen.
Thank you

You kind of have to listen to a guy talking about locs when his hair looks like that
I'm saying how you gone say cuz lying
Honestly, I had to watch several times before I heard what you were saying because I was mesmerized by your hair.
Love it
Such beautiful hair 😮 this should’ve been the little mermaids dad
He would've been perfect!!
Lmao that’s what I was trying to think of 😂
I know! 😂

I used Palm Rolling 17 yrs ago and my Locs are past my behind now. It's time and dedication to upkeep that works.
I was going to ask can I just stick to Psalm rolling because I was interlocking but my roots was getting thinner
@@phyliciateagle8625 I would suggest making the base of your dreads thicker. The base is what determines the end width/thickness of your dread.
@davinbuchman it seems like some of my roots are thin my hair was to soft to start with twist or anything else then braids.. after the braids I tried the pal roll but I sweat ALOT so they didn't say I had no choice but to interlock and now some are thin😞
@phyliciateagle8625 if there are two small ones near each other, twist them together/crochet them. It'll make them thicker.
Any product recommendations
This man’s locs are majestic! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dang bro, your hair is so magnificent, how’d you manage to get your locs so equally curled like that?
The near perfect twist out. Literally. There’s not too many other ways to get it like dis
“Time an woata” lol 😂
Twist out and plus he doesn’t have many locs as they are thick
It's called fake
Nah these are from rods
Absolutely, palm rolling over time can help shape your dreads like keep them round instead of going flat but it's not going to immediately tuck hairs.
💯 💯 💯 Palm rolling is a 2 day style for my texture. I must interlock/crochet in order to lock. I love new growth-bushy roots.
Do You Palm Roll, Hold The Loc, Then Crochet?
Never seen any thick locs as beautiful as this
I agree one hundred percent. Hair locs over time and with washing it. Every time you wash your hair it gets tangled. That's why we have to detangle.
Im 6 months locked now.. how often should I wash my hair to not slow down the locking process?
Whatever you say about hair. I agree🤣😍 gorgeous locs!
Palm rolling in fact DOES lock your hair. Crocheting is not a requirement. My locs were palm rolled, my father’s locs were palm rolled, and so were my grandfather’s. Everyone’s hair is different.

Aloe Vera gel to retwist the hair?
You go girl 👧🏽
I use aloe vera on my clients to retwist
I didn’t hear anything this gentleman said. 😂

Sir ur classes are so educating... From Cameroon I love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
They now call me a Pro thanks to you ❣️☺️
100% agree. My hair took a very long time to loc because I get mine palm rolled.
Did you start with instant locs?
@Goldenhorn29 no, I started with two strand twists.
I understand that but ill be honest it didnt take my hair a year to loc with that method... Your hair is beautiful ❤
Me Ethier 3 months tops I think it was faster

Interlocking is for those with no time or patience to enjoy the natural process of forming locs. Everything is I want it NOW nowadays.

You look like Black Poseidon with the most luxurious of locs brother. Im amazed 🔥💫😂💪🏿😆✌🏿
I don't have locs but I had to click on this video because these are the most beautiful nicest most luxurious locs I have ever seen. Like holy crap.
I'm with you on Time and Water. I am on my second set of locks and I tell you I loved my first set. I used to wash and go every morning
So true, especially if you have loose textured hair. Palm rolling will take forever.
Exactly! I went to a new loctician. When she pulled out the slop I said no!!!!! I had to show her how to crochet myself 😡😡I explained that the slop/dryer doesn’t work…ugh!!!!

Had locs for months and my new growth still hasnt locked into my thinning locs

True.. that's why they are able to comb out their locs in 4 hours. I think Locd hair does not detangle
