You did your retie!! Thanks for sharing Lena. I did my first one a month ago and it’s definitely a challenge. I had a few mistakes with the marrying or combining locs but had to just move on and not worry too much. It took me 3 days. It’s nice to know how to do it but I called my loctician right after like “get me back on the books ASAP!” Oh the other thing is I didn’t move the clock around. In my class she said she keeps the clock the same but when I got to the front and sides that seemed strange. I saw your 12oclock was rotated on your row. Proud of you!! You’re awesome 😎🤩

Hi Orenda! Giiirl, it was SUCH a challenge! Trying to remember how the clock is placed on the sides of my head was confusing too😩 I felt better as I got in the 'groove' of things, but I don't see myself doing ONLY doing self re-ties, im going to have to let me consultant step in here and there, lol🤭 thanks you SOOOO much for your continued support ❤❤❤

Great job Lena!! I commend you for taking on this task to retighten half of your head. I remember how tedious this was for me during the two times I retightened my own Sisterlocks. I don’t like that clip tool either. It bothers my finger. I enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing🌹🌹

Hello There Lena! Thanks for sharing your experience. I cried when I did my first retie. It was a hot mess. I was so frustrated. I made a number of mistakes especially grabbing and interlocking two locs together. I had to completely take two locs down in order to separate them. Frustrating!However, my second retie was night and day different... better that is. I've done three reties... I'm five months in. My key... don't try to retie all in one sitting. I spread out quarters over four days. Much better for me. I am DIY microlocd using 2 point rotation. Thanks again for a great video!

Hey girl! I can totally commiserate with you on crying during your first retie. Marrying my locs is a whole other story, girl😩 It's very frustrating. But my goal is to try to do my whole head by the end of this year😬 thank you so much for your advice and tips, I'll definitely use them when I tackle my whole head. I appreciate very much❤❤❤

Thanks for showing how to repair the holes. Now I know what to do. Some loctichcians won’t do this. And if they do it’s an extra charge, so now I can do it myself. I’m a do it urself kind of person anyways bcuz ain’t nobody gone do you like u will do urself. I had a hairstyle where hair glue was used and it got on my locs so I had to use conditioner to remove it an of course some slippage happened. I still find those holes and it didn’t dawn on me to do this. Now I know…thanks a whole loc 😂❤

I am now 1 week post install and I am loving my locs! 🥰 Thanks to you and other KZfaqrs documenting your journey I am now on my own journey!

It's so funny that I'm finding this now, I had those knitting tools (I'm a knitter/crocheter) so I used them to retighten my microlocs a few months ago. I had ordered the tool from amazon and it hurt way too bad.

I switched to a 2 point because it's easier to remember lol. But I'm not always using the right tension so I'm discovering a LOT of locs with small holes. I'm so frustrated but on my next retie I'm going to inspect every loc and fix the holes I find. It's going to really make my retie longer but they ok. I don't want thinning locs later.

@LenasLovelyLocs1 Жыл бұрын

Hey girl! I’m seeing these small holes mostly in the super tiny locs, and it is SOOO frustrating. The locs that are on my sides near my ear are where I’m noticing them. I definitely don’t want to lose any locs in the future😩 I appreciate you for stopping by and commenting ❤️❤️❤️

Just looking at the tool going in and out is making me dizzy and you explained clearly but all my brain registered was points,points,points😂,let’s just say am never going to retie my hair as i don’t feel i can.(Though it would send me loads of money as my consultant charges £70 every 5wks,i just might start leaving it till 8weeks!!! What do you think about best timeline to retie?.). More power to your arms Lena.x.
