Thank you for sharing the video and now I'm 100% sure that I want microlocs with 2 strands twists. So informative ❤️
I hope you enjoy your journey 🥰💕
YES! DEFINITELY!, VERY INFOMATIVE! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!!
You should get an award for such researched information you just gave out on a platter of gold. Your effort is resounding and want to say a big thank you to you for being so helpful ma❤
You saved me. Two-strand twist method here I come!!! 12/23/21 💙
Such a helpful video! I’m definitely considering returning to locs but this time, tiny/micro locs...started as two strands twists. Thanks for sharing this information!
This is the best locs video I have watched so far. Am considering interlocking cos of my 4c hair type. I love how you explained the advantages and disadvantages of each of them. Thank you so much.
I have been researching loc for a very very long time. I even spoke in detail with family who have locs. I must say this is the most detailed CZcams video I have ever seen. I now know what type of locs I will be starting my journey with. Thank you, I will be subscribing and looking at more of your videos....
Keep up the good work👍
This was really helpful. I went for a consultation and the loctician said my hair type would work best with two strand twist to start. Your explanation has confirmed/reinforced things for me so thank you.
Hi loved your video thank you for posting, I am strongly considering combing out my traditional locs and starting over with micro locs, I think I will start with braids. When I first started my traditional locs my hair kept unraveling and I need up starting with braids before they locked. I'm so excited😆
This has been extremely informative. I’ve been considering getting sisterlocks for years now but I’m apprehensive due to the strict maintenance. I’m now considering microlocs. I two strand twist my hair frequently and would wear them twisted for nearly a month. A few would unravel because I’m constantly playing in my hair. So, I think my best bet would be to start my loc journey with interlocking and two strand twists on the end. I just the amount of time it’ll take to start and retighten them
Started 3 weeks ago with two strand twist and interlock. I'm loving it already 😍
Twists for me!!!! I'm getting started very soon, I can't wait for the finished look. I LOVE how yours came out, it's super cute.
I simply love & appreciate you breaking down each method!!!😀 Wow! Knowledge is power & beneficial! Thank you Queen!🫶🏼🌹
Thank you! I used to do comb locks for years, I guess I'll try it on myself and see about micro-locs later down the line. Beautiful, loved this video!
You did such an AMAZING job with this video!!!! It’s straight to the point and yet VERY informative! I definitely will be recommending my clients to watch this before I start their ocs.

@@ShadesofSage Hey girlfriend! ❤️❤️
@@tiyanahicks Love your channel about your Microlocs also💕!
"OCS"❤❤
@@ShadesofSage Thank you so much 🥰🥰
Great information! I have 2 strand twists now and started locking a couple of weeks ago with very little research! Now I'm going to start again and do microlocs. My hair is thin and I don't like the big parts in the thin part of my head (the crown). This video helped. 😊
i absolutely adore your voice. i can listen to you talk all day.
This video was extremely helpful in my decision as to what method I want it to use to begin my locs. I think I will begin wit twist. Thank you!
I am very please with your video. It broke down the different ways to do microlocs and also explain the down sides to microlocs. It has helped me make my up on starting my locs journey..
Thank you for the knowledgeable information, I now know what is needed to be done in order for me to start my loc journey.
Extremely informative for someone like myself who wore traditional locks for 16 plus yrs … bald my hair to the scalp and now thinking of micro !
I love it !
traditional locs made you go bald??? 😰
I'm on 18 and thinking of doing the same.
This was so informative! Thank you. My natural hair is a challenge for me to maintain with the shrinkage and tangle so I keep them in crotchet locs. I really wanted sister locs, but when I consulted, I was told that my hair was good texture, but very fine, dry and too brittle...my hair began coming out at the root immediately when interlocking. So I can’t do that method in the shape my hair’s in without losing a significant amount of hair and volume😓.
This two strand method with human hair though 👀 ... I didn’t know you could start locs with human hair and keep it in until the natural hair grows to desired length!!! I’m totally sold on that! My shrinkage is what has kept me from doing this for the longest time.
I feel it goes from shoulder length to about two inches in length 😂 I desire the medium to long length with volume, but now I can have the option of both worlds!! Totally excited about this.
Whoopi Goldberg started her locs with braids. And her locs looks lovely.
I've started locs on a couple heads with different texture. PSA: I'm not a professional loctician. However, I can tell you from my experience what I've observed from how I started and maintained their hair.
As I keep up with their hair, I don't use gel or any thick consistency products. It helps with avoiding buildup in their locs and the heaviness that can occur from buildup. Their locs have flourish. Their roots have thicken and grows healthier. My other advice is drinking plenty of water, you staying hydrated keeps your hair hydrated. Also, what you eat also effects your scalp.
I said that to say this. However you start your hair, it's really about the maintenance. I have seen loc hair grow so fast, thick, and beautiful. For your case, base on what you said, I would suggest smaller locs because it's not so heavy.
Also, seek another consultation. See what they have to say. Do what YOU feel is comfortable for you and what you see is working for your hair.
Hope this helps and wishing you the best on your natural hair journey 🙂
I’m starting my locs this weekend my mom is doing it the video is very helpful cause I know what method to start with, thank you 😊
Hi, thanks for the video, great information for those who want to start their loc journey however I have to stress something here that people have to consider before making up their mind on what type of locs they go for.
The smaller the locs in size, the more often you have to retighten the roots because the regrowth springs up quickly, pushing the locs up: if you take more than 4 weeks to retighten your sister locs or micro locs, they will begin to weaken at the root hence requiring repairing in order to strengthen them then interlocked to keep them in place.
Otherwise they will begin to grow outside of the loc and hang on a thread. I’m speaking out of experience because I have seen many clients come to me who had their hair started in some other place else and they come to me with weak locs that need repairing.
I also have noticed that the longer you leave the sister locs or micro locs to 2-3 months, before retightening them, if the stylist doesn’t know how to crochet the locs with a 0.6mm needle to repair them, and they just interlock them, this makes the locs have an uneven strand. It will have big and small bumps on the loc. However when you maintain them within 4-6 weeks, they stay consistent.
One lady told me that she used to be told to leave them for two months and then book for a retightening session but they used to cut out the weak locs then put them back, charging her £10 per loc repaired on top of the usual retightening fee. When she came to me, I repaired her locs once and told her to retighten them monthly, she has not experienced any breakage or thin locs hanging on a thread. She’s never gone back to her previous stylist.
Now coming to traditional locs, depending on the size too, medium to large locs, I recommend people retighten them every two to three months, those with what we call “wicks” can retighten them once a year because those are really massive locs. They take longer for the regrowth to push through.
The texture as well matters for those who can go longer without retightening the traditional locs. Interlocking the hair helps it to be locked away instantly and crotcheting it too does the same as opposed to using products like gel or wax which take longer for the hair to properly Matt and loc itself.
Just remember, the smaller the locs, the more often you ought to have them retightened and they will have a beautiful finished look ! 🙏🏼
This was THE best video I’ve found on starting my love journey. Thank
You queen.
This is the BEST breakdown and well explained video on this subject on You-Tube!!!!!!!!
Thank you; this was the most clear explanation I've seen and heard; i'm going to go for two strand twist I need volume!
Love your hair! This really has me considering microlocs, the 2 strand twist method. I like the volume option this gives!
You did a fantastic job on this video! The video is straightforward and straight to the point. I will be saving this video! Thank you!
I want to start my microloc journey with two strand twists with added extensions. Thank you for this video very informative
All of a sudden I want microlocks.
Like suddenly!!❤❤❤
A video full of wonderful info 💜 I love to see the small locs, but I don't think I could handle the maintenance with all those strands! 💀👀 I'd need an option that I can maintain myself for the most part and not need assistance every month or so
Terrific video👌🏾 Coil method for because my curls naturally go in that direction. All I need is moisture, then I wrap my hair around my finger. And voila! It's twisted just that easily💁🏾♀️👍🏾👌🏾
Very informative thank you so much. I’m definitely going for micro two strand twists. I’m so glad I watched this video to know the differences.
You are so welcome!
Thanks for this video! You've covered the pros and cons. In addition to this, you've used sufficient images as examples.
THIS WAS EXTREMLY HELPFUL THANK YOU!!💖
You've really answered a lot of questions I had about locs.
Thank you
Thanks a lot for your exclamations. I'll go directly to interlocks for my dreadlocks.👏👏👏👏
Good information. I learned that interlocking is going to be the best route for me. This video confirmed that for me. I wanted to do them myself but don't want to risk losing locs due to error. I am looking for a location on Nola now. Thanks.
Excellent and informative video providing the many ways one can start their locs journey. My hair is very fine, especially at the back. I presently have two strand twists and the uncoil within a day. Having watched a number of videos about locsing up, I’ll be trying the interlocs style. May have to get someone to help with the sectioning as having fine hair it’s difficult for them to stay in their own lane.
This was really helpful I may try the 2 strand twist method because my hair is fine although it’s shoulder length
Two strand twist here I come......💯 loved this presentation 👏👏
Thanks so much for this video!! I want to start mine myself but wasn’t sure how. I can’t wait to go into the new year on this journey
I am getting my Loc’s back 2 strand w/ interlocking. I am so excited my consultation is on the 11/14/23.
Hands down! The most informative so far in my research. Thank you. Will be starting my microlocs journey soon, not sure of my hair type but, 1. i definitely want volume. 2 i want something i can easily diy maintenance in the future 3. I dont mind frizz 4. I want small locs. So i m guessing twist will be my way to go.
Thank you this was extremely informative. Have have helpful in deciding the best method/approach to getting starter locs.
I just found your channel and subscribed. Thank you for giving such an in-depth description about locking. I cut off my locs before and I I have enough hair now that I can relock.
Awesome video, loaded with information!! I believe two strand twists will be how I start my locs.
Beautiful video!! I'm going to do two strand twist micro locks. I have very fine hair. Thank you
I want to put micro locks using two strand twist but my hair unravels on its own, water not needed. I would get the desired look and volume with two strands twists. Thank you for this informative video. Keep it up. I'm loving your locks by the way.
I’m starting my journey June 11, 2022 Microlocs two strand twist with interlocking. I’m so excited! ❤️
I’m loving my Microlocs journey best decision I ever made, after years of putting it off.. ❣️
Thank you for this video. This is one of the best information on locs that I’ve seen. Thanks again.
Great video! My hair is pass shoulder length but very very thin. I'll have to watch a couple more times to decide which method I want to try.
Thank you for sharing this was very helpful. I’m debating on locking therefore I do finger coils as my hair type is 4c and short.
This video taught me a lot! Love how you explained and showed so much info. 👍🏽👍🏽 Thanks❤
This is very informative. I am about to start my microloc with a relaxed hair. This really informed me of my options
Glad it was helpful!
This was very informative! I've done micro braids in my hair. My only part of the journey now is trying to find a tool that works well for me with shorter hair.
I have low density hair. I'm thinking two strand twists according to your video. Of course I'll do more research but what you've said makes sense. I appreciate the information as I've been through CZcams and yours is the first video that gave such thorough info!
Did you get the locs
So informative, one of the best videos watched to help me choose or decide on best method for my hair thank you so much
Exceptionally professionally done!
Definitely helped me to narrow down the options for starting my locs journey. Thank you sooo much!
This was a great video. I am thinking of getting microlocs and this had great information!
I have had 3 sets of locs yet never small always pencil width. I'm looking forward to starting again for life this time lol next year this time. I'm also looking forward to becoming a micro loc stylist very soon in ATL connect with me to start your loc journey!
Thank you so much for this information. I decided against interlocking 😂😂😂 will 2 strand instead
This video was extremely informative and i highly appreciate your time and effort in making this. I have fine hair. I cut off my locs about 5 months ago. They were long, down to my low back. I was entering into menopause and experiencing hot flashes and hair thinning. I gave my scalpba break. The thinning is gone, and i have enjoyed short hair but miss my locs. I think micro locs would be better to prevent traction and give me freedom to style it more ways. I have a consultation in a week.
Thank you for this video. It was so helpful. I now know that I will start my Locs with two strand twist method
This is a very detailed explanation. You did a fantastic job
This video has helped me decide which method is bedt for me
I'm torn with two strand twist or extensions. I like the fact that I can start with extensions and cut them as my hair grows.
Thank you so much ❤
This is very good information. Thank you. I will be doing my micro locs using the twist and interlock method.
Thanks, I am glad u enjoyed it 💞
