can you combined you braid locs to make them thicker?
❤
🙏🏾
Are microbraids the same as microloc braids??
They can be. Only separations in my mind are micro braids are usually a style that comes out and synthetic hair is used. Microlocs are just braids that are left in to turn into locs.
Hi, new sub here. Thank you for your content. I was wondering if you have a video of how often after initial establishment what type of retie & how often it’s needed.
Hi and thanks for subscribing. I have multiple videos referencing those things. For me and the rate that my hair grew at, I was doing reties every 6 weeks for the first year and a half probably and then moved to 7 then 8-9 weeks now that I am 3 years in. And I do the 4 point rotation.
@@DavidJaysWay aww thank you so much for responding!! This is very helpful info!!
Sorry for blowing up the comments. I’m interested in starting microlocs and you DONT see a lot of men in these spaces. But your sense of humor reminds me of my husband 🤣 so subscribed lol
Never a need to apologize! I appreciate you watching and subscribing. I think it’s worth giving Mike Cox a try. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!!
Braids get me like that too!!! I’ve given up on braids and extensions 😢😅
I’ve had zero regrets about my microlocs
😂not a racked scalp.
😂😅
And this is interlocking?? Why is this better, safer, healthier as an option for locs? (I have zero knowledge about micro locs 🤣)
Yes it is interlocking and I can’t say that it’s better, safer or healthier. I think any method of maintenance can be damaging if done too tightly or too often. But interlocking works best for me and my lifestyle because I wash my hair weekly and also like to exercise and swim. I don’t have to worry about my hair unraveling or getting frizzy at the roots.
Just finished my own micro LOCS. I’m team no gird.😅
Congrats on finishing your installation and welcome to team no grid!!
I am 12 years with sisterlocks and still have itching no flaking after a retie and sometimes have to take styles down due to the itching so I am going to try this n thanks!
You’re welcome! I hope it works 🙌🏾
Is it ok to palm roll Braddock I just got braids a few months ago and have been palm rolling to hopefully speed up the process
I interlock mine but palm rolling works too!
I Swim everyday at the pool or the ocean. This is the main reason I am getting locks. Thank you for this very informative video
You’re welcome and thanks for watching. Locs really do simplify so much!!
I wouldn't really trust the title of this video. I used the method to wash my 2-week old starter locs and had a LOT of them unravel. If I could go back 3 hours and tell myself not to wash them I wouldn't do it again. Well made video, but this is absolutely not a 1-size-fits-all method and my experience was that it caused a large amount of unraveling
That’s a fair opinion to have. Nothing is one size fits all but this is the method I have always used with my starter locs and it’s always worked. I leave my cap on while my hair is drying because if I took it off while wet I would experience unraveling. It also depends on the length of your hair. If your hair is extremely short or if you go in washing vigorously then you have a much better chance you’ll have unraveling.
Let the beard breed
It gets so itchy!
@@DavidJaysWay manage to what it's best.
Took out my twist cause i couldn’t keep them together not a professional at all but I don’t wanna pay crazy out of pocket and I plan on doing it myself the rest of it anyways so I think this is gonna be for me
Braids just keep it simple in my opinion. At least they did for me!
@@DavidJaysWay currently doing em now thank you for the video
@nessaschaoticthrillz7065 you’re welcome! Good luck with the rest of the installation and thanks for watching ✨
I did mines myself 3 months ago
@rubychambers2690 nice!
Don't cut your locs
I trimmed them several inches
Looks really nice! my unpopular opinion: I think really short locs looks the best on both men and women. i keep my locs cut above my shoulders! ❤
Thank you 🙌🏾✨ I’ve always honestly enjoyed mine the most when they were shorter in every single location journey. It’s nice to be able to pull them up but once I can that becomes the daily default
Your so right it does depend on hair type because those 4c hair loc faster 😅.
It really does!! Never been more happy to be nappy 🙌🏾😅✨
Ur hair is not starter locs ur are long
I never claimed to have starter locs but I’m giving an example of how to wash starter locs to keep them from unraveling. The method I used when I did have starter locs
@@DavidJaysWay I understand u explain at the end of the video appreciate u Brodie I was being inpatient
@JaychosenMasiah it’s all good 😂 thanks for watching
@@DavidJaysWay ohh yeah also I just got da shower after using ur method can I take da stocking cap off after I’ve dried it and put another one on
@@DavidJaysWay always Brodie 😂
Would directly applying essential oils instead of spraying work the same?
I would just make sure that they’re diluted first and not applying straight essential oils but yeah I don’t see why not
@@DavidJaysWay oh yeh I have a mixture going lol. Sometimes the smell still comes though because i roller skate a LOT
Yo dreads ass ngl
Looks nice
Thank you!
I was always told still not to wash for a while after crochet locs
Mainly because locticians want the locs to start settling and locing before you go in and washing so you don’t risk slippage or them loosening up. But if they are done well they should be able to be washed same day with no issues.
Willows were extensions
Oh were they? I guess she does a lot of extensions
I have to oil. I like that u addressed doing what's best for your hair.
Right!! I can never NOT oil. That would be tragic for my scalp
Please is this the way to relock a microlock ? Or you're doing instant lock
In this video I was showing how to fix holes which is a similar method to instant lock but not interlocking. But you can use this method to retie if you want.
Dude! That looks really good! I like when you get bored. Lol.
lol I need to stay busy so I stop getting bored 😂 before I end up with cheetah spots in between my locs 🤦🏾♂️
@@DavidJaysWay RAWWWWRR! 😂
Not "Buckwheat" 🤣😆- I really like the cut!
😂 thank you!
This is what I hope to do with mine when they start getting a bit long. I'm glad to see it normalized. Looking great.❤
Thanks for watching!! I guess the goal for most is length but my goal is to just keep enjoying my locs whether they are long or short!
@@DavidJaysWay Truth
Omg this was the info I was looking for❤
Glad you found my channel! ✨
You went Maxine Shaw from Living Single short. I like!
Maxine Shaw!!!!!!! 😂 she was my favorite
Great 👍🏾
Thank you! ✨
It came out pretty cool 😎 and you can wear a ponytail when it gets in your way.
Thank you!! I’m glad that I didn’t get too scissor happy to the point where I went too short and wouldn’t have been able to pull it back 😅
OMG you were in my neck of the woods. I’m an 1 and 7 mins from the outlet stores. Hilton Head is so beautiful.
Oh wow! We really were right up there with you. I love Hilton head for the calmness and quiet compared to other places we’ve been.
@@DavidJaysWay yes it really is. Me and the hubby go there to getaway as well. Y’all should check out Beach House Hilton Head Island.
@WainaWay we will check that out for the next time! Thanks for the recommendation
@@DavidJaysWay you’re welcome
You're fired cousin. The girls run this now. Might as well change the channel to "The *insert surname*'s Way". Lol. I think it has a nice ring to it. Im so happy to see Cousin Tanya is more comfortable onscreen. 😊😊 P.S. Tori and Juls are getting so big!
Right!!! At this point Tori has decided that I’m an addition for the vlogs but not a necessity 😂🤣
cutest intro ever omg
Thank you!
I braided mines tight and they are super small I love em ❤
No way to go wrong with Braidlocs!
The swim caps from You Go Natural are great! Very stylish and work! My nape / kitchen does get damp but that is it. if I braid my locs and pile them on top of my head, the do indeed stay dry as you say. Sometimes, I wet my locs before swimming and putting on the cap to minimize the absorption of the chlorine in the even of water seeping under the cap.
Ooh the wetting the hair beforehand is a great tip!
I have the two strand twist 🪢 as a protective style
It’s a great protective style!!
what do you think about the sister lock tool?
I’ve never used one myself but I like how inexpensive these little plastic needles are and they are great at getting the job done!
Love your locks. Going to look amazing as they grow longer. They are the perfect size.
Thank you so much!
It took me 10-12 hours to braid my whole head
Did you do it all in one sitting or over multiple days?
Started mine, basically completed mine today…. I did them to someone hair in 2016 and her hair is beautiful. I have started locs so many different ways.
What’s your favorite method for stating locs so far?
Good info as usual! I see weve outgrown the intro music and greeting. Im not good with change. 😂🤣😭
That’s just called lazy editing 🙃🫣🤫🤣
Phew! As long as it's not gone. I sing your intro like grown folks sing the intro to Fred Sanford. 😂
Cousin. I just realized how country I am. I just called Sanford and Son Fred Sanford. 🙃
@@PlainOlCourtney😂
😂😂
I am so happy you shared this am thinking about cutting my 3years of traditional locs and getting micro locs.Am looking into microlocs i know i can maintain it better.
I have loved ALL of my traditional loc journeys but this microloc journey has been the easiest and freest of them all for me!!
How did you handle frizz during the budding stage? My frizz is causing shedding
I left my frizz alone for the most part but in areas where it was really bad I would use a crochet needle and crochet my loose hairs back into the locs
@@DavidJaysWay Thank you for the information. I will use that method.
@w9906 you’re welcome and good luck with it! ☺️ ✨
Those aren't starter locs
Mine aren’t at the time I filmed this but the tips still apply which is why I made the video!
Can't wait to wash my locs now 😂 thanks for sharing
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching and enjoy the wash 🙌🏾✨
I love the untamed look . I’m 11 months in and I’m currently retieing lol I don’t like the scalpy look I like when they get old and puffy . ❤
I’m right there with you!! 🙌🏾 ✨
When I start braiding my hair should I do it blow dried or do it in its natural state?
I did mine in the natural state but either way will work. Just know if you stretch it out, it will still shrink when you wash it or it gets wet.
