You did a great job with this whole video very detailed. I install microlocs as well and I cannot stress enough the importance of density to clients. I agree with so many points and tips you stated. I started teaching classes to make sure a client understands what’s going on and I find that helps them out alot. Glad to see another great Loctician at top of her skills keep going it’s only up from here. Beautiful work Loc Queen ❤
I planned mine out almost a month in advance. I installed 15 Jumbo knotless braids for the Beyoncé concert & left for 2 weeks. I washed my hair inside the braids the day before I got ready to install. Labor day weekend came and I worked braid by braid until I finally finished...2 days & a half with 220. I'm so pleased & cant wait for them to start maturing❤
I’m about to start my 8yr old’s and she dreads sitting. This is a great idea. I’m gonna put braids in tonight after her wash start her locs in the middle. When she gets tired she can pull them in a ponytail.
@@SassShea I don't have the patience to count, but I took your idea and she was so happy that she didn't have to sit. I did large braids, but put them in bantu knots. Each day I took out a row and after I twisted I put it back in a knot. It took us about 3 days. I braided a little at the top and did 2 strand twist. So far, she's loving them. Mostly because of the parting she is able to still style it like she could when it was loose. Now im hating because my locs are as versatile.
Girl it is protective season over here!! I decided to do mini twists this year & I followed your grid idea. It was definitely a game changer!! I found myself working faster & counting down the boxes. It took me 4 evenings doing my hair for 2-3hours each evening to finish my whole head. I plan on leaving the twists in until after New Year's. Washing & re-twisting as needed. I did my twists the last week of Oct 2023, looking forward to ringing the New Year with my mini twists!! Thank you for the great videos
This is my first time hearing of this technique. I don’t recall seeing a video for sister locs, but I have been two-strand twisting my hair since 2006! It’s my go-to for the summer. 👍🏽 I’m really interested in seeing the results as it grows, because what I’m picturing, is two different textures from the beginning stage until it grows out…
This is the best sista loc video EVER!!!!! I noticed u two strand it then sisterloc'd it. About how long do you think itll take for the two strands to lock????
So are these microBRAIDS and then you lock it? I keep trying to find tutorials but no one is saying if these are two strand twist locked or tiny braids.
I live two hours away. I have traditional locs right now. But i really want micro locs. How much is your consultation and. What is expected? How long does it usually take to install?
Hi! Consultations are free, you can book through this link braidsbyshardel.glossgenius.com The install can take up to 12 hours. I split the time into two days
I want these now!! I have instant Locs and I’m not too in love with them. I might wait a little while longer and comb my instant Locs out and go this route !! Great Job 🎉
Yes!!! I tell this to my clients!!! Hair Density is soooooo important!!!!! The goal is healthy strong lengthy hair!!! Small parts and sections definitely break long term!!! I've seen it happen with my clients that have regular locs!!! 💜💜💜💜
Hi Shar’del, Thank you for getting back in touch with me I appreciate that. I love your work I think you are amazing hair technician, you inspire me to start my mirco locs, I would like to sign up for your courses but am not sure how it works am in the Uk ,so how would the course work please.?
Hello I hope all is well. What the difference between sister lov and micro locs? Does interlocking differentiate the two? Can each be done without interlocking? Is that recommended?
There are different rotations you can do. Look up two point rotation, 3 point rotation, and 4 point rotation. Normally when installing on yourself two point rotation is easiest.
They look beautiful! What product did you use besides the Nairobi? For the partings? And what products would you recommend for shampoo and conditioner on micro locs?
Thank you! 😊 I use shine in jam normally for parting. I would recommend design essentials oat protein shampoo, the honey shampoo, and the rosemary mint conditioner
The parts are important only if they are important to you. Some people get free parting which doesnt consist of a grid. It depends more on what your goals for your are! You should wash starter locs every four weeks! :)
@@ShardelHaden ok awesome thank you I am going to install my sisters micro locs and after watching your video I am confident they will look amazing.... thank you so much again
Beautiful locs❤ Question to anyone that's willing to answer. Thanks... I suffer from epilepsy, and I get random EEG test done. Would it be a bad idea to start a sisterlock journey? 🤔
You did an amazing job with her hair. Im really considering getting mine done. I love your work and the fact that you also don’t mind teaching. What city & state are you located?
@ShardelHaden ok thank u for responding! I look forward to seeing your growth and u teaching others your skills. Never stop learning and becoming creative. You have such a beautiful spirit and are always so positive. Doors are gonna always open for you, and the best is yet to come! Ignore the haters because there will be plenty, but u been those in your life to give u your drive to excel. Keep doing you and being the best version of you, a wife, and a mommy! Best wishes and good luck on your journeys through this one thing we only get called life! ❤️ Hugs
You are such an excellent teacher! I learned so much and got a great handle on doing this style! Im doing this style on someone really soon, thank youu so much! 💫💜💫
This video was exactly what I was looking for. I have heat damage from silk presses so I was told I could still get locs but they would have to interloc from the beginning. So would that help my ends to not be all over the place or would you cut them?
So I would suggest braid locs because those will stay in better. Are you thinking of getting extensions? Your ends with loc eventually but it may take longer and you may end up cutting some.
Question! Is it healthy to get the extension length and grow out your hair with that installed? I wanted to venture into sister locs but I don’t have the length I’m hoping to achieve yet (16inch).
Yes, it is as healthy as you taking care of your hair daily. So the hair that is added via extension is human hair, though it is not growing from your scalp. It still requires hydration and daily care to make sure everything is growing and locking in a healthy manner.
I’m starting mines tonight. Was worries about the grid and parting but watching u made me rethink :) I washed my hair should I put any products on it before locing I’m doing braids
Ugh I love and hate this so much!! The size and grid looks perfect... I'm trying to do this but I think my hair is really thin? I do t have nearly as many locs I have maybe 18 on my left bottom section I have 6 or 7 more sections.. I'm gonna be sad if they are too big down the road I will literally cry 😅😂😂 but you did a creator job
Good evening! I specialize in micro locs. I am located in Waldorf Md. You can book a free consultation through this link braidsbyshardel.glossgenius.com

I could have sworn from the side profile that was me in the chair! Oh my gosh her side profile is so identical to mine. I’m interested in seeing the full face

@@ShardelHaden That’s cool and auto correct is sneaky… two-strand vs. to strain! 😝
By installing you first braid then twist or twist from the hair roots
@ondengjane for extensions, I braid them twist
Hello awesome job where are you located , I would like to learn also I would like to get my hair done as well.
I’d love to see an update on this client in a few months. The hair/work is beautiful.

So are these microBRAIDS and then you lock it? I keep trying to find tutorials but no one is saying if these are two strand twist locked or tiny braids.
They turn into locs with proper maintenance, which can take months for them to mature. This is the starting process.
I appreciate this! I have traditional locs and doing some micros on my aunt this weekend.
How long did it take you to do the locs
About nine hours

I love your work I think you are amazing hair technician, you inspire me to start my mirco locs, I would like to sign up for your courses but am not sure how it works am in the Uk ,so how would the course work please.?
Should the client wash and blow dry hair or wash only only (no blow out) and braid for appointment…
I normally tell my clients to wash and condition then put a few plaits in it to stretch it out
Where Are You Located? Beautiful Work ❤
Thank you! Waldorf MD
Hello I hope all is well. What the difference between sister lov and micro locs? Does interlocking differentiate the two? Can each be done without interlocking? Is that recommended?
I have the same question.
Do you schedule clients that live out of state?
I have the same question
Yes I sure do! You can book a free consultation through this link braidsbyshardel.glossgenius.com
U did an outstanding job!!!
Thank you !
I love your attention to detail!! Beautiful work!!
Thank you so much!☺️
Is she twisting? Then interlocking?
Yes maam
Yes
Just amazing ❤❤❤❤
TY 🥰
Does it matter which way I interlock and the t-shape? Can I go like in one way twice or out one way or different and different locks does it matter?
There are different rotations you can do. Look up two point rotation, 3 point rotation, and 4 point rotation. Normally when installing on yourself two point rotation is easiest.
I love how thoughtful and informative you are. Where are you located cause I’ve been wanting to get microlocs.

Hey dear wat did u use to hook her hair
Quick question, how important are the parts when you first get starter locs?
How often should you wash starter locs?
The parts are important only if they are important to you. Some people get free parting which doesnt consist of a grid. It depends more on what your goals for your are! You should wash starter locs every four weeks! :)
You might be thinking 🤔 of Narobi for the foam mousse ... It's a good product for setting the hair...
Beautiful I love it.. thanks for the step by step tutorial. Did you use any product when twisting the hair?
Thank you so much for watching! Nope... no product from twisting. There could be a little gel residue on my fingers from the parting though
@@ShardelHaden ok awesome thank you I am going to install my sisters micro locs and after watching your video I am confident they will look amazing.... thank you so much again
I love it!!!❤
♥️♥️
🙌 😇 Blessings!!! I'm just about to finish my daughter's

Confused??? What is the difference between microlocs and dreads. Dunno which to stay with.
Beautiful locs❤ Question to anyone that's willing to answer. Thanks... I suffer from epilepsy, and I get random EEG test done. Would it be a bad idea to start a sisterlock journey? 🤔
Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 Thank you for your comment also! Im hoping someone answers soon... Ill also ask around and circle back 🥰
Did you braid all the way down to the bottom and left a little curl out? Looks very nice 😊
That's the question I have too. I'm looking to see if I can figure it out
Beautiful install. How long did it take?
About 10 hrs
Thank you!❤
Please the water you use is there anything in it
Its distilled water with some lemon grass essential oil

The thing I'm worried about is shrinkage ... and would it suit 4c hair?
Hi! That is totally understandable! It would definitely suit 4C hair, but I can’t promise that shrinkage wouldn’t actually be a thing

These are a permanent hairstyle

Thank you so much! Thanks for watching!
How do you unravel without breaking the hair ?
@@BABS889They are meant to be Microlocs. Permanent.
I could have sworn from the side profile that was me in the chair! Oh my gosh her side profile is so identical to mine. I’m interested in seeing the full face
Can l be able to remove them to my hair even after months of renewing them?
You could.. it would just take some time
I love them! Where are you located and how much does this cost
Thank you! I am located in Waldorf Md . You can check out pricing through this link braidsbyshardel.glossgenius.com
Did you braid the ends of her hair up? Is that okay?
I did not braid the ends of her hair. I would say that would make the ends skinnier than the rest of the loc longterm
As your going up the rows how do you know that they are the same width as the row below it?
By matching the box size below it. However they are sized depending on the density of the hair location on the head
Thats beautiful, where is your salon?.
Thank you! Waldorf Md
For a person with shorter hair would type of hair would you recommend using?
