I instant locked all of my micro loc’s so that I wouldn’t have to worry about loc bunching or unraveling at all. My loc’s appear fully mature but are getting tighter and no shrinkage which allows me to see all of the growth after I interlock the roots. Your demonstration was very effective and keep up the good work!🎉
Hey, a quick question : would you consider instantlocking your roots to retightening them ? I was wondering if it could be a good alternative to interlocking... Thank you !
@@Malzaaaa instant locking is perfect for the installation but I prefer to interlock the new growth with a 2, 3 or 4 point rotation with the 4 being the most effective at controlling the girth of the loc. You can determine the number of rotations/tension are most comfortable for you. Instant locking must be done leaving an inch from the root to prevent pulling out hairs from the scalp.
I am 18 months Locd and had my first hair wash without braiding and banding and it felt GREAT! I have bunching and have been using the crochet method. It works!
Thank you. I’m 18 months sisterlocked and I’m not loving my swollen fat ends in my hair. This will be my last effort to fix my issues before I resort to cutting them off. This method looks doable. Thanks for posting.
The locs are loc'sing❤ This video is so encouraging for me. I have twists interlocked. I'm 2.5 months and struggling with the frizz, shrinkage (it's been a lot compared to how it started on blow dried hair😩) and bunching. I often want to give up as it's at that awkward stage (I hate the phrase 'ugly stage'). How long did it take for your hair to 'drop' and shrink less?
This video is giving me hope! And your hair looks amazing! I’m About to order the tool. I’m a week shy of being locked for a year. But I too noticed bunching around 9 months. Question: do I always go to the end of my loc when correcting the bunching? Will it not kind of unravel the ends if I still have loose ends?
OMGOODNESS!! Thank you for this video. I will be ordering the tools and fixing my bunching loc’s. I am 7 months into my micro loc journey and this has become a problem for me!
I’ve tried this on some of my thinnest locs, but for the ones that I can fix using loc extensions, I cut the end where the budding is too thick and I just attach the loc extension right where the hair unravels. Both methods work for me.. again, on my thinnest locs I don’t add the extension only because I don’t want to add that weight on an already thinning loc. I love the loc tools though. It really works!
The tool is design to “help” start the locing process. For instance when people are getting instant locs attached their natural hair isn’t locked. It is helping me to fix bunching in areas of my loc
Just stumbled on this video 🙌🏽 A quick question please... My tool doesn't move when I move it in and out while turning the loc. Is there a specific technique you can share?🙏🏽
@@lifeisgoodjohn316No, ripping the hair is not what you want to do. You are pulling and pushing the hair strands together in order for them to tangle together and form the shape of your loc’s and palm-role to create the cylinder shape.
Bunching is part of the locing process. The locs are wanting to mature and the bunching and swelling is part of the Journey. Those of us who have microlocs try to tame our locs into a more polished look that resembles microbraids. Thats not Bad necessarily.
@@kimberlycorrineWhen you crochet all of your loc’s it will cause them to appear mature and you will not have to worry about bunching, shrinking or unraveling!😊

I'm doing the same for the same reasons. I don't want to have to worry either.

@@jamesbennett8637 ok thank you that is perfectly clear 😊 I will stick to the interlocking then

Love love your locs. I am at month 8 and have been noticed a lot of bunching. This video was so so helpful. I will be ordering that tool today.
The tool is so helpful! I started noticing the bunching around month 8 too. I’m glad this was helpful for you!

This was so helpful! Im 4 months into my journey & can definitely use this tip! Ordering the tools now!
Likewise! Thank you so much!
I'm 2 months in my journey and I will be purchasing this tool for my bunching. BTW, your hair has grown a lot and it's gorgeous. 😍😍
It’s very helpful! And thank you girl!
Thanks for sharing. I'm 2months and 1 week in my journey, these tips will be very helpful.

You are the best at finessing this lock game 👏🏾
Thank you so much!!
Nice one, 👍🏽 the end result is so nice. Welldone and thanks.

Literally just hit 8 weeks and I have ALIT of bunching! I had no idea that this is what it was! I will be ordering this tool today!
Let me know how it works for you! Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much for this. My locs were looking wacky. I got the tools and fixed them. Ahhh they look fab🤗
Thank you glad it worked for you!
Thank you for sharing. I ordered this tool as I have a lot of bunching. Hope I can get mine under control.
Same thing is happening to mines and it looking wild. I can use this tool to tame my locs a bit. Thank you
Thank you so much, I really needed this. I’m almost a year and my ends are bunching so bad.
Awesome! You did a great job. Btw…has anyone ever told you you resemble Keshia Knight Pulliam? 😍
I like your technique. I'm going to try it. Thank you.
So now that you are instant locked. Does that mean the shrinking phase, bunching, teenage etc. is all over with and you can start seeing growth?
I love your ML. Not crazy small. Their about the same size I would like nines to be. Roughly do you know how many locs you have?
Your hair is gorgeous! What is that eyeshadow?!?! 👀🥰👀🥰
Probably silly question but it didn’t look fully locked so wouldn’t you have been able to just unravel it and re-twist it? Or was it fully locked?

If you take loose and retwist you may remove the needed shed hair that helps lock your hair. Also, you will keep delaying your locking process
Wow I am now in my 9 months LOC’D
Here watching and listening
Here watching
Thank you! I am SO glad I came across your video because I was bout to get to cuttin! 😂
This was soooo helpful, thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
You did a great job
Thank you!
The doggie and then the look 😂🤣
Should your hair be wet when repairing
Ok I like it but don't like the stiffness of the instant locking tool
This is so weird but you have a nice nose lol
Thanks lol
🤣 i agree, she does! Perfectly shaped.. so interesting
I agree lol!❤️
Dead... but yes. She does😂
I agree ❤
Just stumbled on this video 🙌🏽 A quick question please... My tool doesn't move when I move it in and out while turning the loc.

Bunching is part of the process. The only thing that needs to be “fixed” is accepting the reality of authentically accepting the loc journey.
Gracias por explicarlo tan bien 😊😊
That was great!
I’m just seeing your video. But what is amazing is that this was 1 y. Ago and your employer was still discriminating that is insane.
You look so pretty
Thank you so much girl!
It’s the growth for me!
thank you!!
It's the law! You can no longer be discriminated about your hair
I just love watching yr vids and I am not micro loc. I am no locked 🔒🤣🤣
Well I’m glad you chose to watch my content! 🤣🥰
That sound you are ripping your hair. It is a slow process. It's a in & out process...but the way you're pulling can rip your hair
Considering that the concept process of lock is done with sheading hair actually ripping helps if it is not overdone.
@@lifeisgoodjohn316No, ripping the hair is not what you want to do. You are pulling and pushing the hair strands together in order for them to tangle together and form the shape of your loc’s and palm-role to create the cylinder shape.
Beautiful 😍 🤩

I was wondering about this. So bunching is normal?? Should I retwist the bunching or just let it be free?

Very good 👍
Okay off topic this is dumb when you said furry people I thought about the people who dress up like animals lol
Woman, sick to the topic
