Hi Guys who’s ever tied Knots in their Locs to try and cover a thin area or to try and save a Loc from breaking? Comment below please ⬇️⬇️⬇️ you know the drill 😉. Have a fabulous blessed week! 🤗😘🙏🏾💖
Glad I found this video, I've been timing knots in some of my locs for a while. I too have bleached my hair and it would thin out towards the ends as they are flared and not rounded ends. So the knots have worked wonders. My locs have actually gotten thicker
I just tied knots in several of my locs very tight in thin spots and then palm rolled to smooth it out......looks great so much more confident in the strength of those locks!!!!! On my second year of my loc journey I just can't see cutting them off if they get weak!!! Just get the repair done you'll be happier.
Thanks for your comment. I’m glad it worked out for you. I think my Locs were extra weak at the time I made this video so tying knots 🪢 in my Locs didn’t work for me. I wish I knew how to crochet 🧶 back then because that would have been a method I would have used. 😊
@@mazznaturals I crocheted mine as well and they didn't hold as well though the braiding hair looked unnatural and it would slip out so i pulled it out it at the reconnection point of a few of them where I put a few of my other locks back in folded it up to thicker part crocheted it enough to hold and then tied the 🪢knots that's where I had the best success in keeping them secure 😌
My BF ties knots in his locs to reattach them sometimes. It works for him and he has a pretty laidback attitude towards his locs most of the time (which look pretty good). I tried tying a knot in one of my thinning (crown area) ones years ago, but changed my mind and undid the knot. I might try it again now though if I had the same problem. Great video ✨👑
I get these spots sometimes in my locs - Take lose nappy hair and braid it over that area - Start the braid about one inch above the spot and just plait it until you have passed over the area - This will mend it.
I have one loc with two knots on it. But I tied my knots on the thick part until It caught up with the thin part and went past the thin part so it was all thick by the time it was done... we shall see how it holds up over the months 👀 Peace and Love JG
Well done glad it worked for you. I had more success with the first Loc as you saw from the vid that grew past the thinner part so you could hardly see the knot. I’m sure yours will hold up over time. Thank you for watching and sharing your experience. 💖👍🏾
Oh well done so Knots in your Locs is a winner for you! 👏🏾👏🏾 You haven’t retwisted since May? It good to take a break from retwisting from time to time. 👍🏾☺️
I tied a knot in one of mine and just ended up cutting the whole loc off and starting over. It just kept thinning then getting thick then thinning out again. It’s been months now and it’s looking perfect lol
Would it be okay to tie VERY tiny knots at the ends of starter locs to make sure they don’t unravel? (On week three currently, day 3 of week three specifically.)
Awww you have starter Locs!!! 🎉🤩congratulations. I don’t see a problem with that…once they are mature you may not notice the Knot and if you do you can just snip it off. I used to use rubber bands on the end of my starter Locs. However I think if you can tie a small knot with your own hair that would be better on my honest opinion. Hope that helps 😊
OMG!!! Noooooooo knots! 😫 (me being dramatic....Lol) What I've found is that after placing the knot, the part of the loc that is directly below or above the knot will start to become weak over time. I have about 5 knots that I regret placing. I would suggest cutting or using afro kinky human hair from the beauty supply store to reinforce the weakened area. If you are into "Spiritually" and know a ritual that removes negative energy, I would encourage that. I smudge the hair with sage myself. ✌❤
Hey yes that’s what happened to me when I placed the knot, below the knot became weak that only happened to a couple. But as I mentioned in the video I just cut it off lol. Also the only thing I use to remove negative energy is prayer that’s works for me all the time Thank you Jesus! 😉 🙌🏾 thanks for your comment. 😊🙏🏾💖
Do you have any double head dragon locs? I have 3 locs with double head dragons from combining thin loc. But , now I’m thinking to cut them off... What are your thoughts?
Hey I do have some double headed dragons, but cut a lot off earlier on in my journey because I wanted my Locs to look uniformed. I totally regretted it 😩😩. If I were you I would leave them for me they added volume to my Locs which I love. I actually have a video on Double head dragons will send the link for you to watch. Thanks for watching. 😊
Hey thank you for the mention funny enough I know about Kris Mcdred I actually follow him on Instagram. I ordered 3 crochet hooks from Amazon and started practicing using them unfortunately I made the end of my Loc snap off so back to the drawing board!! I must be doing the method incorrectly. He makes it look so easy. 😩😂🤷🏾♀️
I haven't had this thinning issue, I pray I never do. But, if it should happen, I think I'll cut it. Thanks for the video. How's your friend who does the headwraps? Y'all are funny together.
Hey Cynthia I’m glad you haven’t had this thinning issue and pray you never will the best thing if you did would be to cut. 🙏🏾 Funny 😆you ask about My friend Amma we are planning on filming 🎥 more vids for The Locs, Wraps and More series coming soon. Keep a look out for those videos! 😉 thank you for asking I shall pass the message on to her. Appreciate your comment. 💖
Hey Sebatreyu! Good of you to pop in I miss you! 🤓 Trust you are well?. Looool yes I would definitely choose to cut no beard growing in this camp! 😂🤣😂🤣.
SebAtreyu!!!!! You are definitely missed. Hope all is well. I agree with you about using hair to reinforce the thinning love. No beard here so I have to get afro kinky human hair from the beauty supply. I wash it and smudge it with sage to remove negative energy before using it...Lol. Totally undetectable and much better feel than knots. ✌❤
@@michelewashington2119 Thank you, Michele! That's very kind of you. All is well. I hope the same for you! I'm glad you've found something that does the job considering you're not rocking a beard over there hahahaha... I love the sage part too! Be well :)

Seems like you found a really good solution. 👍🏾😊
Whilst I don’t have locks, I find your channel very interesting and informative. Keep up the great work!
Thank you Janine appreciate the support! 😊💖🙏🏾

Thank you and Thanks for sharing your experiences. I’ve also undid a couple of Knots I once tied and ended up cutting them off again. 🙈
I have about 3 locs that I knot at weak spot and so far no issues
I’m Glad it worked for you. Thanks for sharing ☺️
You can save it be crocheted interlocking of the loc in a stronger area of itself.
Yes I’ve done that now in another video I recently uploaded. This was an old video I didn’t know much about interlocking then. Thanks for your tip ☺️
I get these spots sometimes in my locs - Take lose nappy hair and braid it over that area - Start the braid about one inch above the spot and just plait it until you have passed over the area - This will mend it.
Thank you yes I tried this and it does work but not for long maybe I’m not doing it tight enough. Appreciate your comment 👍🏾😊
@@mazznaturals
You have to braid it tight, then gently palm roll it so it will intertwine with your loc.
Yes your right thank you for the tip I might try it again. 😉
I have one loc with two knots on it. But I tied my knots on the thick part until
It caught up with the thin part and went past the thin part so it was all thick by the time it was done... we shall see how it holds up over the months 👀

How did it do?
Sorry is that question for Janet?? ☺️
Love your vid amazing thumbnail so clear love everything. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you sweety! 😆💖💖💖
Your loc always looks so beautiful thanks so much for sharing God bless
Thank you 🇯🇲 Jamaicagirl123 thanks for watching. 💖
Yes I do I have about 5 knots throughout my locs
Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching. Do they do the job of saving your Locs from breaking?
@@mazznaturals no problem....for me they do I mean I haven't retwisted since may but a palm roll here and there and its unnoticeable at least to me
Oh well done so Knots in your Locs is a winner for you! 👏🏾👏🏾 You haven’t retwisted since May? It good to take a break from retwisting from time to time. 👍🏾☺️
@@mazznaturals definitely I'll watching for more uploads
Great! Many thanks for your comments too. ☺️
Can you tie knots at the roots for maintenance
I wouldn’t to be honest....I think it would put too much stress on the scalp.
My first opportunity to try a knot. So I’ll take it. Thinking of crocheting the split and adding hemp. Anyone strengthen with hemp.
Crocheting would be better than tying a knot. I’m not sure about hemp. I personally prefer Rosemary, that’s good for strengthening the hair.
Here watching
Thank you!
I tied a knot in one of mine and just ended up cutting the whole loc off and starting over. It just kept thinning then getting thick then thinning out again. It’s been months now and it’s looking perfect lol
Thanks for your comment yes it’s a hit and miss tying knots in your Locs. I’m glad yours are looking perfect now 👌🏾😊

I love this video Marie. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! 💖☺️
I would love to see you examine the lock you cut to see what the inside looks like when you take it apart
Mmmmmm...🤔 now that would be interesting might be an idea for another video thanks girlie! 😉
Hey hey, good to see this awesome video!🙌🏾🔥
Thanks Janine! 😘💖😊

I haven't had this issue yet. If it does come about I would like to think I would just cut it but I probably would try to save it before cutting!😅
Looool yes I don’t blame you i would save it too it can work sometimes but you saw the state of mine! 😂🙊🙈
I would like to see a video about 5 facts we don’t know about you. That would be fun:))
Lol 😆 now that’s a good one!. 👏🏾👏🏾 Thanks for your suggestion and thanks for watching. 😉
Look at Kris Mcdred you can fix your locs. With a crochet needle and one of your own locs

Oh yes! Thanks for watching ☺️
I would never tie a knot in my loc
Lol well done don’t! Thanks for commenting 😊👍🏾
I think you know I would use beard hair 😉 but if I were a woman, I would be forced to just cut since, hopefully, wouldn't be able to grow a beard 😂
Hey Sebatreyu! Good of you to pop in I miss you! 🤓 Trust you are well?. Looool yes I would definitely choose to cut no beard growing in this camp! 😂🤣😂🤣.
