In this video I’m sharing how I was able to self trim all 650+ locs all on my own, without taking too much length off, while giving myself added volume with gradual layers.

MICROLOCS GRID | My Precision GRID and PARTING METHOD | MATH, MEASUREMENTS, and more! | Part 2 of 2
Lol, it feels inherently wrong to not do my side part on the right. I can't bring myself to do it the other way.
lol I feel exactly the same with my right part BUT it’s good to switch it up every once in a while for your hair line
Looks great! I just did a big chop because I needed that freedom you talked about. If I had known about this, I may have tried this before big chopping. Enjoy your freedom.
It’s the pure GENIUS for me!! Get it sis!
Hey! At first I was leaning towards the before look but after you showed the side part I must agree that the trim was much improved! I didn’t remember at first but I cut layers to my loc’s during my 2nd year, my hair had a nice round shape but I didn’t like the longer look smack in the middle of my back so just over a month ago I asked my hubby to help me trim it. It looks great even though I forgot to have him cut it at an angle. I’ve got a few loose ends that are just now coming back together. Your hair is so much longer and fuller than when you started out! Great job!! 😊 and thanks for the videos! They’re so helpful!
Micro locks are not brotherlocks… clickbait
True all Microlocs are not Brotherlocks but all Brotherlocks are Microlocs…. If you’re talking about the Brotherlocks related to sisterlocks… since all sisterlocks are Microlocs….?
Your hair is flourishing so much!!!
Love it.
Love it!
Yes please! We need to know what chain linking is.
Are you still a PA? I remember when you were in school and when you locked your hair 😊
Yes I am currently working full time as a PA!
Looks so nice! Well done👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I really appreciate your systematic and detail-oriented approach. You did a great job, beautiful outcome!
I’m glad it was helpful! Let me know if you have any questions!
Look good
Thank you!
This is my confirmation to DIY my own locs 😫😫😫😫 I’m scared tho
Loved this, all my loc favorites
Hiii sooo how did you use the measuring tool
Interested in 1 pro retie. Love how you managed your own. Couldn't imagine them doing any better
🔥🔥🔥 Do you still go to a loctician?
I’ve only had my hair retightened by a professional loctician fully one time. Then I had another loctician help me with half a Reti twice. Otherwise I’ve been almost 100% diy, currently halfway through a self Reti right now
You should have way more followers! You’re amazing with this!❤
Your hair IS finally showing off but you’re so funny to have loc envy when almost everyone is trying to get your hair look!! 😂😂😂😂
Headband. Love your locs💜
Lint is inevitable for me. I had issues with it as a loose natural. Knotting and lint in the back. I have fine 4c hair. At the beginning of my journey, I was redoing my locs in the back for the first couple of months. I checked them regularly, and there was always lint. I finally just said forget it. I use a satin pillowcase, satin head wrap, and have a leather couch. 🤷🏾♀️
"headband", "hair tie" "chainlink" Your locs look AMAZING!!!
Thank you for the feedback and the kind words!
With your hair having so much shrinkage, did you stretch it before initially installing your locs ? I’m 4c as well and I’m kinda torn as to what to do
I blow dried AND flat ironed my hair in order to part my grid precisely. No matter what you can’t do anything about the natural shrinkage. And honestly you don’t want to. The fact that your hair shrinks is the whole reason that Microlocs loc. the more natural shrinkage and smaller the coil the better.
I’m interested in the hair tie
I wish I was better at math, danggg
Because you’re interested in learning my precision parting method?
@ yes!! I took notes and rewatched all your videos a million times 😭 luckily you’re great at explaining, but whew! It took me a second
Four years is a great achievement,🏅🏆 congratulations Queen 👏👏🎉
chain link please
Your doing an amazing job with your micro loc's
What camera are you using please
My iPhone 14. Nothing fancy needed to get good quality videos nowadays. I used to use a canon but it’s unnecessary
@QueenEleem ty
Chain link
This might sound like a dumn question but how do you utilize the tool to make sure your grid is precise?
There’s a lot more to getting a precise grid than sizing but it can help you visualize your target size during install and keep them consistent by section. If you’d be interested in my install or retightening and maintenance course when they launch. Make sure to sign up for my email list on my website or you can DM me on Instagram letting me know
Been with you since day 1. My one daughter and I are also 4 years in and she has thick and golden hair just like yours 😊 My other daughter is 2 years in, had to wait for her to grow up a little. I do all of our reties and we couldn't be happier. I thoroughly enjoy your content
Wow what a great parent! They’re lucky to have you taking such good care and attention of them!
@QueenEleem Oh man, that's so kind. Thank you 😊
Beautiful! Thank you for the education.
Chain link
Headband and chain links!❤
You are just sooo cute!!! I wish you all the success and fulfillment you desire in your life!!! ❤
Thank you so much!!
Can you do an updated retighten video please ?
Anything in particular you’d like to see in an updated Reti video? Or specific questions you’d like me to answer?
I would like to see a detailed (how you prepare your hair on retie day, how long it takes, etc) video on which rotation that you do and how you do it? Maybe show a good clear video, angle on how u do them ? Also tips to avoid marrying your locs as well as how u know if you are doing them right ? If that makes any sense. I have been wanting to start doing my own reties but I have been so scared about messing them up and how to correct them If I do.
Hi, what rotation do you use ?
Mostly the 4 point or 4 point reverse depending on my on how my locs are looking
They are so beautiful! You are the reason I started mine and it's been almost 2 years now. Thank you <3
You are so welcome! I love to inspire 💕
Headband! i need that. Also congragulations on 4 years.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and first hand experience with us . Your Energy is so Beautiful🦋
Chain link please
So you mentioned how often you do your reties, but had the speed of reties changed since you last updated us? Also how is life as a PA? Do you have a lot more work life balance working in the field? Would you recommend the program that you graduated from now that you've finished?
The speed of my retires is a tricky questions bc I break it up over days/weeks bc I’m more likely to be doing another persons Reti. Regarding my job as a PA: my work life balance is great. I have a job where I work w-f and I don’t have to take work home. Really the whole reason I went through the craziness of PA school in the first place. And yes I’d recommend my program. It was really unique being a in a program with a majority of students being minorities. It’s a place and environment where I prefer and thrive.
Have you had any luck getting rid of hair follicles?
Dyeing them yes. Removing them. No. 🥲
Omg, the locs dropped a lot more!
🥺 do you really think so?! Thanks for sharing! I’m waiting to have long locs like my friends who are 4-5 years locd 🥲
I can't believe it's been four years! I remember when you started💗
Thanks for being and OG and sticking around!
Hair tie please! Thanks ❤
Wow your hair is still looking gorgeous. You’re doing a fabulous job maintaining your hair. I did my own retie once . It wasn’t bad long as you’re entertained with music or watching something. I do plan on getting more experience doing my own hair. In case I actually move out of state or internationally. Can’t be so dependent on anyone else then. 😀👌🏾
Congratulations on 4 years !!!!!!!!!!!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Awww thanks Robin!!! 💕💕💕
