This is exactly what I did with two strand twists and interlocked the roots. Still at it 6 yrs later. I love it. You locs are beautiful as well.

Yes to everything you said. Im 4 1/2 months in. I've been retwisting over 400 locs. Everything around my perimeter was slipping within a week. I started interlocking two days ago. No regrets thus far!

Happy 10 1/2 months to you! If I would've read this comment before I split my close, I would've been shocked by the number 400 but I totally get it now. Glad that interlocking worked well for you, it's the only method that I'll use. How are your locs doing?

Love this I’m on my 3rd journey I started with 2 strand twist and interlocked the roots this time around. I refuse to deal with unraveling and having to redo and retwist every couple days or every time my hair gets wet. So far this has been the most care free and easy going journey by far 🥰

I love your videos …..Always well spoken I had Sistah locs for 15 yrs, but when I moved home to care for my aging mother I could not find anyone to care for my locs so I cut them I started a new set 3 months ago….. my back is locking beautifully but my top is taking forever so I believe my friend will interlock on my next visit

Thank You so much:) 15 years of having sister locks is very impressive. It couldn't have been easy having to cut them. I'm so glad you were able to start a new set and find someone to help with maintaining them. The struggle is so real with locs locking at different paces, in due time, the top will catch up:) I wish you all the best with your upcoming interlocking session. Would love to hear how it turns out.

I combed out my 1st set after having extentions for a year. During that time I was interlocking. I restarted with 2 strand twist. I have 4c low density hair and decided to retwist on this journey. During the first 6mths I found that my hair every morning was sticking up all over the place and need to be wet to tame it. Wetting it caused unraveling so I crocheted the twist to combat that but still retwisting the roots. Ladies and gents, I am one that can't do smells and needs to wash my hair. This was problematic and after 6 month my new growth on low density hair was not locking. Good thing is that my part to loc ratio is much better and my new growth is growing with my loc. It wasnt doing that the first go round. I have decided to go back to interlocking I will make sure that I have enough new growth to loosly complete a 4point rotation and not tighten to the scalp in hopes that will help not create a complacted loc.

@laurakasuvu Жыл бұрын

Happy basketball season! I'm sure by now the season has started. I recommend interlocking for active lifestyles because the sweat can cause unravelling, however, some people are able to utilize other retwists methods with little to now unravelling. How is your hair holding up so far? interlocking would require less maintenance over time which might be fitting for your active season.

@@laurakasuvu I’ve been locd for 8 months now. I have 102 locs I specifically told the stylist to do fewer sections because I want to have a thicker and fuller look. The process is coming along better than I expected but now there is another problem. The stylist that does the interlocking method doesn’t seem to be as skilled or as knowledgeable with how the method should be done. I looked over my locs and a few of them actually has holes which is a little saddening to me, but I have such thick hair you wouldn’t be able to tell at all. After watching tons of videos I understand what causes these holes. You see, you’re not supposed to go through the seem loop twice. From now on I am going to an actual dread technician that is knowledgeable on the interlocking method.

@JAYoung-cs5xx Жыл бұрын

You can, but interlocking tends to make a tighter lock, so know that they will most likely be thinner than the retwisted section. A 3-point rotation might give you a less tight loc than a 4-point

@NjokiKiiru Жыл бұрын

My loctician told me that if you have been doing regular retwists for a while and you randomly do interlocking, it might weaken the loc at that interlock section so you need to be aware of that.. That interlock knot is going to look very obviously different on your loc too, so remember this.

Does interlocking help you maintain your length ?

@laurakasuvu Жыл бұрын

Great question! For me personally, I saw more length after retwists when my locs were forming. Prior to this set of locs, I had a lot of shrinkage with the palm roll method when my locs were starter locs. Either method will ultimately help retain length in the long run because hair is not shedding from over manipulation. Hope this helps!
