Abie's DIY Microlocs Journey
United States
Приєднався 14 січ 2022
Watch for DIY Microlocs tips and motivation! Videos posted every Monday and Thursday! What you can expect from this channel are videos about my personal DIY microloc journey, monthly loc updates, showing you my microlocs wash day, microlocs retie, and other tips on natural hair care. My hope is to not only share my loc journey with you but to also learn from you as well. Hoping the info I share will be of help to you throughout your own loc journey.
My name is Abie Kamara and I’ve newly joined the microlocs community - locs established on December 27 2021! I created my microlocs using the 2 strand twist method and will maintain them with the interlocking method. I ended up with 441 locs total once I completed my install. I’m so excited to have started my microlocs journey and can wait to share it with you. I hope you stick around.

Would love some updates about your hair. Hope all is well.
This was so informative. Thank you!
Wear did you purchase the moisture from please and Thank you?
I need to wash my hair but I’m thinking I need to interlock my hair first. What do you think Abie?
So glad I found your channel!
Looking forward to your retirement video. I’m thinking it nought take me 2 weeks also 😩 I haven’t counted mine yet.
They look full and are thriving! I’ve started doing styles, however I haven’t interlocked yet. Im waiting for my interlocking tool to arrive then I will start the process. Heading over to your 2 month update 😍
So glad I found your channel, I’m from the UK and I started my locs on 3rd November 2022. I have a video on my channel so I’m Looking forward to seeing your growth and being in this journey with you! 🎉🎉
surprisingly, it took me 8 hrs for my first retie of 246 starter microlocs
Just came across your channel. Congrats on your 1 month. Subscribed to follow your journey
Is there a video on you doing them?
I'm want to get microlocs but nobody does it my area. I don't know if I can't do it by myself. Can't wait to see yours!
Hey dear congratulations . I am also in the same journey .
Thank you so much! Good luck on your journey. ☺️
Didn't see any locs or starting them.
Hello Glad I scrolled and saw you🥰🫶🏼 I started 3/11/2022 I Love them just trying to learn more about them I’m MicroLoc’d🙌🏽
Hi! Thank you so much for watching! Congratulations on your microlocs journey! ☺️❤️
?? huh?
I'm trying to decide if I want to do a 2 point or a 3 point rotation. Any advice? I get my starter locks (2 strand twists) in a few days and will retighten probably every 4 or 5 weeks
I heard 2 point rotation is more flat while 3 point gives your loc a more rounder fuller look. I’ve been doing 3 point rotation because I like the fuller look.
@@abiesdiymicrolocsjourney9571 interesting! I guess that makes sense. Thank you so much for responding. My loctician said the 2 point can lead to holes in the loc. And 3 point is more secure. She recommended 3 point
@@rhondamonique9686 you’re welcome! 😊
I enjoyed the video. Kia is such a cutie with so much to say. 😂 I am a #newsubscriber and I am also documenting my journey on UA-cam. How has you Microlocs changed, if ant, in the last two months?
Thank you! 🥰 I’ve noticed my hair looking a little longer and fuller over the last few months. I’m excited to see what changes I notice as time progresses.
And I’ll definitely check your channel out. ❤️
The curls are fine😍 and you're right, retie is something one should put into consideration before installing microlocs. The higher the number the longer the retie. But retie doesn't bother me😁 I usually take my time with it.
Thank you 🥰 I’m hoping I get more comfortable with it in time. I’m supposed to be on my 2nd retie now but I’ve been procrastinating! 😩😂
Hi, I'm glad I found your channel because we seem to have same locanniversary. Dec 27 😁 your hard look beautiful by the way.
Yayyy!! My locversary twin! 😃 Glad we can connect! And thank you. ❤️
This was so helpful!
Glad you found it helpful! 😃 And thanks so much for watching.
I’m one month in and my skin is breaking out from my hair not being washed 😩 I get my first retie in two days thank God.. your locs a beautiful btw they look a lot like mine !!
Thanks so much! Good luck on your first retie. Hope it helps with the breakouts since you’ll be getting it washed. 🥰
Great info, thanks! Suggestion - turn the music down, it's competing with your voice
Thank you 😊
Try washing every 4 weeks and starting to retie your hair at the 6th week mark..... if you start reties at 4 weeks - that's too much pressure on your scalp even though your reties take 2 weeks to finish. Hope you understand. Best wishes and growth
Yes it does! Thanks so much. That’s a good plan and I’m hoping to get my reties down to one week then hopefully just a few days. 🤞🏾😃
Look Amazing Queen
Thank you! 🥰
Ok mamas little black dress is cute! heres to stepping out more! 🦵🏾😂
Thank you 🥰🥰
Hey girl hey! He is so precuioussss! lil man has got a lot to say! ❤❤
Heyyy 👋🏾 Thank you!! Yes he’s always talking our ears off over here 😆
You son is adorable! Oh, I love your Loc's too! LOL!
Lol 😆 thank you so much!!
Looks great! Locs look great on you. I loved the cameo from Kai!
Thank you!!🥰 I’m absolutely loving the locs!
2 months went by fast! What do you think of the new style I tried? 😅 key words ... "I tried" Lol
I had my first sisterlocks washday on Thursday. It's been 3 weeks and my loctician said it was fine since I work out a lot. I did braid and band and then spritz my hair with my Oyin Juices & Berries.
Oh good! I was worried I was doing it too soon but it just felt right. Thanks for sharing and congrats on your new locs. 😃
Hi abie thank you for sharing!
Hi 👋🏾 thanks so much for watching. 😊
Watch the full video here: ua-cam.com/video/SFz29c0GF24/v-deo.html ☺️
My loctician has always washed mine, but since I’m fully loc’ed now, I will start washing it myself. Thanks for the video. It will be useful when I wash mine.
I’m still hoping I can find a loctician or here! Thank you for watching.😃
How do you wash your microlocs?
Possible wife material… must see her thickness though.
Microlocs looks nice. I hope you enjoy your journey.
Thank you so much!☺️❤️
The hair freedom is everything!
Is really is!! So glad I made the decision to finally do it. 😃
@@abiesdiymicrolocsjourney9571 So am I. I can't believe I waited so long, but nonetheless I love them!
New subbie here. The micro towel will def come in handy. I’m looking forward to starting my loc journey.
Hiii 👋🏾😃 thank you so much for subscribing. I’ll look forward to seeing your journey as well!
Please be careful about castor oil, it is known to clog hair follicles and coconut oil is known to dry out hair. Too many products for locs is not good. I dont use anything, just water or teas, or aloevera or fermented rice water and my own natural sebum that I rub down.
Thank you! Do you rub any oil on your scalp? I noticed my scalp has been getting dry.
@@abiesdiymicrolocsjourney9571 Absolutely NOT. Only a light amount on the bottom of strands once in a while. You have to let your sebum accumulate and then rub it down the strands of your hair. Because I do it this way, I only need water or water and acv to clean my hair and scalp.
When ever you stop something that your body is used to, it will take some time for it to detox itself. Sometimes things get worse before they get better and heal.
Congrats on one month!!! Time is flying. I'm so glad that you finally got them. Excited about your progress.
Thank you!! I look forward to seeing your loc progress too!
I love your channel, can’t wait to see how the rest of your journey goes!!! I’ve been loc’d for a little over a year, but I’ve always loved the looked of microlocs😍
Thank you so much!! Congrats on your locs. Over 1 year, that’s awesome! ❤️😃
At what stage in your journey did you start doing loc styles?
Do you plan on getting any of these products? Let me know!
