Excellent job. Mine is at my waist now from a big chop of 1 inch. Although I have no extensions now, I started off with kinky braided extentions; then took them out a few months later. They're 10 years old now. Here's to our Locs❗️👑💜🥂
Came out beautiful 🌱 and they look natural :) but naw I will ride it out I want to experience all lengths of my journey. I started at ear length and currently at shoulder length so that's not to bad
I’ve been trying to figure out how to feel better about my locs and I think this’ll do it. I’ve got my work cut out for me but I am eager to try this. Thank you! Your videos have really helped throughout my loc journey. We both started around the same time and I always come to your vids for inspo and help.
i don’t recommend doing this. people who are doing this aren’t ready for locs . locs aren’t meant to be manipulated and covered up or added extensions. it takes patience and dedication and learning to have locs on your head. i’m 5 years in and i’ve never manipulated mine even when i felt wow my hair looks crazy. you have got to trust your hair and understand locs is not a “ pretty or neat style “ it’s a real spiritual journey. if you feel you need to do this or that your unhappy with locs you’ll never love them just go back now . locs are an instant love and if you don’t feel that they aren’t for you , and that’s perfectly okay .
@@redlocculturetalk locs are a spiritual journey to YOU. It doesn’t have to be that for everyone it’s very unnecessary to TELL someone that something isn’t for them just cause they don’t wanna follow your steps. Please grow up
@@redlocculturetalk I love your response and I agree. I wanted to loc my hair but I know I am 100% not ready yet. I love locs but I am waiting another year.
You're hair looks beautiful whether short, medium, or long. You did an excellent job on your hair. I love it! This was a very informative tutorial! Bravo 👏🏾 👏🏾!
I have had my loc extensions in for 3 months now and I love them! I recently combed out the ends of my loc extensions and they look so much more natural than the blunt look that I had before. Also your loc extensions turned out really good! I love the blonde highlights you added. I was thinking of getting my hair bleached all one color (blonde) but I might just get highlights just to see how I like it.
These look really good and will only get better over time. I had made my own and my ends looked like yours. After about 2 months I ended up cutting the ends off because they were driving me crazy. I kept mine for about 9 months and then cut the majority off because they were so heavy when wet. This makes me miss my locs so much.
Great tutorial. I am installing approx 60 extensions and ran across your CZcams. I really enjoyed your detailed instructions. After this I’ll need to dye so yes I will be looking for your tutorial. Thanks.
I just started my loc journey and have heat damage so I have been wearing a protective style instead of cutting out the heat damage. Would you suggest cutting or adding in extensions? You did an amazing job by the way. Your locs are so pretty.
This is amazing. I’m about to start my loc journey & if at any point I lose a loc I’m definitely doing this. Right now I want to let them grow but I have no idea how I will feel a year from now about my growth.
You did a great job. Its beautiful. I did mine last weekend and i love it. My locs were skinny in crown area so i thicken them up to match the rest, it turned out amazing. After the shampoo and retwist she is ready..
My real locs were about 4 inches to go before reaching shoulder length in some areas, and the back of my hair was shoulder length ( the back of my hair grows faster) I decided to install loc extensions myself to make them a bit more even for versatility. I made the locs at first, and they came out nice, but it was absolutely too much! My fingers were killing me, so I gave up. Especially when I would have had to make 100 locs. So I decided to buy the rest. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, and I’m very good at doing hair. I do braid extensions, starter locs, ( I didn’t start my own because it was a present from my youngest daughter, after my hair was growing back after battling cancer. This is my second set. ) weaves, I even make and sell custom lace units. This is so frustrating! I combed out the ends of my locs and I passed the area that I combed out on my real locs and wrapped the the loose ends of the loc extension around my loc and took my time and crochet them into my real loc until it was super tight. Then the loose ends of my loc around I wrapped around the loc extension and crochet it while turning the loc until it was super tight. Palm rolled that area and it looked nice. I pulled in them really hard, but when I wash them they started falling out. This Then I reinstalled them again and where I combined, I took 100 % bulk hair and wrapped it around the areas that was combed and crochet so that it will reinforce them so they won’t come loose when I wash it. A lot of of the loc extensions still came out, or either the were separating to the point if I just touch it it would come apart completely. I’ve came to the conclusion that I may have gotten the loc extensions to large for my extra small locs ( I previously purchased small). I just bought extra small locs and I’ll give an update. My real hair is very thin and my real locs are so small ( some almost micro size) so maybe it was to much hair on the ends of loc extensions to the ratio of my real locs. The only difference I did that I didn’t comb out the ends of all my hair at once, I did them as I installed. I just took about a week, but I just combed out the ends of about 5 to 10 a day and installed them that day. Then I continued the same process the next day and so on, until I was finished. Great video, and your hair looks awesome! New subbie!
I used a three prong and backcombing to start my locs on fine natural hair. They were amazing, I then added in length. I used a three prong then a one prong and palm rolled the finish look
Been thinking to do them myself. Where I am it ranges from 400-900 for an install 🥲 I see how you did yours, going to take out my faux locs in sections and install little by little. Thanks
Does the $400-$900 include extensions or do you have to purchase them separately? I want to start doing these on clients and I’m not sure how to charge. This gives me a starting point. TIA!
They look soooo good 😍😍😍 with or without them your locs are beautiful but you definitely did that! I also think if you continue to not like the way the ends are i think if you cut them a bit at the end it should be fine. And yes we want you to keep us updated lol with or without loc extensions it’s still a journey especially with maintaining.
Thank you so much for this !!! One of my locs came out from tension and I couldn’t find any videos that would help me reinstall them , but Your video was very explanatory and it helped a lot, I finally have my locks back !!! 💜🌸
I'm just on my 2nd year of my loc journey, and being older, I have medication issues, so my hair thins and breaks in some places. I think this will be a great alternative for me.
So I’m seven months in with my loc extensions however they have been thinning (the loc extensions) and breaking off, I think I’m gonna order me some and install them myself 🤷🏽♀️💯
Good for you girl it came out pretty cute 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 love the color and all. I do have to agree I’m not crazy about the ends I know you happy with the outcome and all the styles you can create 😍🤗
Thank you lovely lady! I hear you about looking natural. Those who are watching and have not used the tiny crochet hook; PROTECT YOUR FINGERS. THIS LADY IS TELLING YOU THE TRUTH. I have permanent scarring on my finger. I wasn't quite paying attention and stabbed myself very badly.
finger protectors?? why am I just finding this out lol 😅😂 the amount of times I stabbed myself making and installing my loc extensions is crazy lol you did an amazing job! the locs look beautiful! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😍
Good job. I have come to love my hair. I am excited for that length but I have a ways to go. One note, conditioner is meant to detangle so you may not want to use it on the area’s where you connected the loc.
Hey people with loc extensions, My hair dresser said loc extentions will Gel onto you existing hair making it difficult to remove or de tangle, is the true?
I had do this on my locs that was holding on by strings of hair. From twisting to much when I first got dreads. Didn't know how to take care of them. Now I do.
I’ve been doing my hair for days some days my hands hurt. I have 121 locs someone did them before this but they started to fall out so I am redoing and tightening them all
I literally just bought this brand of extensions and got them in yesterday lol . I was looking for a video like this but super coincidental that you’re using the same brand I’m trying to use lol! Loved the video ! Your hair looks perfect
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️ results. Now that you know how to crochet extensions, will do crochet maintenance instead of retwisting?! My retwist doesn't seem to last I'm curious.
Thank you! I will continue to retwist. Although it doesn't last that long, Im still new to the crocheting process and I feel more comfortable retwisting. I recommend putting your hair in a style after retwisting to help make them last longer.
The .5 crotchet and .75 both might have made it easier for you to attach your locs. The .5 doesn’t get caught in the loc so much like the bigger one when crotcheting. I hope this helps someone.
Excellent job. Mine is at my waist now from a big chop of 1 inch. Although I have no extensions now, I started off with kinky braided extentions; then took them out a few months later. They're 10 years old now. Here's to our Locs❗️👑💜🥂
How did you take them out?
They plaited in like braids. Took them out like a braid out❗
@@NurahYahcould you have left them in? They’re very pretty.
Came out beautiful 🌱 and they look natural :)
but naw I will ride it out I want to experience all lengths of my journey. I started at ear length and currently at shoulder length so that's not to bad
Definitely love to have a monthly update to see the progression of your locs with the extensions in place.

They will eventually grow that fast Use Mango and lime loc grease make it grow like Turbo speed
This is the easiest attachment tutorial I have seen thus far. Great job. Looks beautiful 🤩

Yes I’m thinking about attaching mines back in since I kept mines after I cut them.

& yes plsss do monthly updates!
Color choice was perfect✨ I’m combing out my ends this weekend and attaching next weekend prayers and thoughts are needed 😭
thank you! the process is rough, but its worth it! best wishes on your journey! ♥️

👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 Black women are so beautiful and so creative. I can’t wait to do this to my locs. Thank you so much for sharing

That came out CUTE!!!! I’m 15 months locd haven’t yet tried this style, looking forward to it!

Hope you like them! I thoroughly enjoyed mines lol
Thank you lovely lady! I hear you about looking natural. Those who are watching and have not used the tiny crochet hook; PROTECT YOUR FINGERS. THIS LADY IS TELLING YOU THE TRUTH. I have permanent scarring on my finger. I wasn't quite paying attention and stabbed myself very badly.
It was a trial and error journey for me without your videos. I appreciate you.
I didn't think I was a fan but you did a really good job and they are beautiful.
finger protectors?? why am I just finding this out lol 😅😂
the amount of times I stabbed myself making and installing my loc extensions is crazy lol

It's so pretty. You did an awesome job. I love it

Good job. I have come to love my hair. I am excited for that length but I have a ways to go. One note, conditioner is meant to detangle so you may not want to use it on the area’s where you connected the loc.
Looks good but I don't think I'd have time for this... Looks looonnggg! 😂
this jus saved me!! thank u so much for uploading this!!!

Girl you are beautiful!!! I’m been debating about starting a log journey
This is what I was looking for
I had do this on my locs that was holding on by strings of hair. From twisting to much when I first got dreads. Didn't know how to take care of them. Now I do.
I'm doing this to mine. This is beautiful ❤️ I'll get some mouse and kinky curly curling custard for my ends.
OMGeee I flipping love them 🤩😍
thank you! ☺️
Wow definitely fabulous your so beautiful with or without them either way your fabulous ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
My retwist, involves interlocking. Not sure this would work for me.its beautiful ❤️ but 10 days?. God bless you!
That came out really nice!!!! We are almost loc twins ! I started mine September 4th 2020 ❤
I love them they look so natural
I’ve been doing my hair for days some days my hands hurt. I have 121 locs someone did them before this but they started to fall out so I am redoing and tightening them all

they look sooo good!!! very natural 🤎
thank you! ♥️
Oh wow they turned out beautiful.😍I was thinking about loc extensions but they’re super expensive and I don’t have the patience to do it myself😂
How long does it take you to do 1? I’m having the hardest time getting them to stay in. Maybe I’m not crocheting enough.
That was looking awesome ❤
omggg they are so cuteee!! you're glowing 😍😍
awww Thank you!! ☺️
This looks absolutely beautiful
❤All Your work is amazing…Ok Queen!
I really like that I know I can do it my self it's a lady on my page who charge 1500 smh so I'm definitely gonna do it my self

They look Beautiful
thank you!
You are a BLESSING! Thank you so much 🥰
Dannnggg. It looks so good.
Love the thorough video! Love the look! I’m motivated sis❤ thank you!!
Is it heavy now?
Nope they're still lightweight. Of course when I wash them they have weight, but that usually the case for long locs in general.
Since it’s human hair, should you still re do them every so often or are they okay to stay in permanently?
so bomb!!! def about to try these on myself. how do you take them out?
Beautiful
Absolutely Beautiful
Loved this video, how long did it take to make the locs ?
It looks great!😍 I am curious how do you take them off after?
