I appreciated the explanation of the differences between the 2point and 4 point rotation and seeing in realtime how it’s a little bigger when you do 2 point . I’ve been locked for a year and 3 months now and just did my first self retie . I used 2 point since it was easier to remember when doing it on myself . Especially in the back
I just saw your installation vid and ask for an update, then clicked on your channel and found it🤦🏾♀️ Ive had my locs for about 2 1/2 years, our hair texture is similar. The styling options get much more fun as your hair grows. Nice neat retie❤️
@@TheMamaGreen well I only use coconut oil and olive oil on my hair. If olive oil don't use it on your scalp or any other heavy oil. I always cover my hair before bed and I don't wear tight hairstyles. If you do have a somewhat tight hairstyle don't keep it for days. 🤷🏾♀️ I'm pretty low maintenance
@@TheMamaGreen I absolutely love it! I've been trusting the process and getting encouraged by fellow loc'd folks. the community is super welcoming and I'm excited to se how my hair develops. Thank you for replying to my comment!
I just came across your channel. I first watched your starter microloc update. Sorry to hear about your experience. But glad to see you have figured it out. You are doing amazingly❤.
Welcome to my channel! I'm happy you found me. Thank you for the encouragement. Yes, all is getting figured out. and I'm updating you at every step xoxo
First video that I have watched from your channel. I subscribed and changed notifications to all so I don't miss a thang!!! Thank you for the detailed review ❤❤
Imo I think when you're establishing your love 4 pt is the easy to go and if you choose to then switch it will work out better... I have DIY with a grid, about 330 of them and I used the 2 pt except one. One retie I did the 4pt and what I'll say is I felt like it grab all the strands that belonged to that loc.. that retie felt tighter in that area on my loc. But, I'm a 2pt girlie. I love volume..
Love your hair, when you do the two point rotation and you enter from the right and end down. When you do your next retie will you be starting from the right again since you ended down?
They look beautiful. Great details given. NOW I'm assuming this is a permanent style. Looks like hair would have to be cut at the root??? My hair is thin. Is this recommeded??❤
Thank you so much! And I appreciate the feedback on the video. I wondered if I included too many details. Yes, I would say this is permanent, but some people have talked about combing their microlocs out. I just don’t see how I could do that on my hair. I would visit a loctician for a consultation regarding your hair density and if microlocs or sisterlocs are recommended. I can say that I thought my hair was on the thinner side, but the loctician who installed my locs considered it to be on the fuller side
Hi love. Question: with the two-point rotation on an imaginary clock, which ways are you coming from? Are you going in at either the 9 or 6 and coming back down at the 12?
Love, I honestly am not that organized, but I've seen some graphics and videos where this is explained! the info is out there, sorry I'm not the one to answer
I know you posted in another video, but want to comment here as well for anyone who has the same feedback. I will make sure not to put the writing in white

Your locs are beautiful. You made it look easy.
Thank you ☺️ I practiced a lot during my first and second reties so that’s why. When I first started, I wasn’t this graceful.

ooo thanks for sharing sis! I'm def a 2pt girly
Thank you for throughly explaining this❤
you're welcome
Super helpful,! Quick question how do you style your hair while as the gym
I just braid and band
Great video, thank you for breaking it down perfectly! So easy to understand 💚
awe thank you for watching. I'm happy it was helpful
Great video and love your hair! Were your locs installed with a 4 point rotation?
Thank you! My locs were installed without interlocking, but before I went to 2 point method. I had 2 reties with 4 point method
Love your hair, when you do the two point rotation and you enter from the right and end down. When you do your next retie will you be starting from the right again since you ended down?
in theory yes, but I won't remember where I left off. I'll prob do left up next time just to be safe

new subscriber 😁🥰 lovee this sis
welcomeeee xoxox I'm working to post more, but I post more frequently on IG
How are you doing the back is what I need to know, I’m struggling with that.
Using a 3-way mirror is very helpful!
@@PiousMuslimah27 yes! I have a link to the mirror here amzn.to/3OIgpst
Which is preferred? 2 or 4 pt rotation?
i prefer 2 for the ease, but 4 for the tightness of loc
Do you have a link for the tool.... The Amazon link isn't working
etsy!
Are microlocs the same as sister locks?
no they're not. two different install methods, but the same maintenance method.
Would you ever consider doing a three point rotation?
I actually do a three-point rotation now.
Where do i get the tool
etsy babe!
What did to do about the slippage?
video coming soon on this!
