You literally have it down to a science. I love it!
🤓 since I’m a science and chemistry girl, I consider that a true compliment
@queeneleem8136 I actually love the small locs it just look so full in neat I noticed guys will get mad if another guy say he want thin locs or smaller locs not everybody want big locs
I already knew that you were going to be as meticulous as you were with your own install....awesome job as expected ❤
Thank you Jay Kay!!
"My little brother Carl"! We'll never forget his name or that you're older lol... So adorable. Hair came out great.
Ha! I was thinking the same thing. So sweet ❤
Ive been looking desperately for a guy with microlocs, I’m starting mine this week and cant wait.
I’ll try to shoot an update with him Memorial Day weekend
Wonderful video, as always. It's great to see a grid suitable for a fewer amount of locs💜
Glad you enjoyed!
This came just in time! I did mine back in April 2020 after finding your channel. Now I’m preparing to do my daughters hair and definitely don’t want to do them as small as I did mine.
You both did an amazing job! His locs look great!
The Ann you for the compliment!
Y’all did an amazing job! His locs are going to be so full!
I would like to see an update on Carl's hair after a couple of months. You did a great job explaining the grid.
The whole process is amazing, this is definitely a journey. Thanks so much for sharing this🙌🏾
I wish I had a video like this 10 years ago when I started my first set of locs. But I'm glad I have thus now that I'm starting my locs over again
Glad to see what a 300 - 450 loc style would be. Hair changes as we age . No more than 400 would be manageable to do on my own....Great Job!! I like math too!! ❤❤❤
They look so good! Great Job 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Such an amazing job! 🎉🎉
what a wonderful gesture in giving your brother locs becuase tis veyr time consuming. I hope he appreciated it.
Cannot wait to see your brothers brother locs journey. Good job 👏🏼
You guys did an awesome job 🎉👍🏿
Wow! His Locs look great. Nice clear directions. My hair has been in microlocs over 2 years and I love the low maintenance. I paid a loctician to install and maintain my Locs. I really need to learn to maintain my own locs. I could save so much money.
Girl I got you! A 20+ tips for retightening vid is coming soon
okay i’m back and i want an update on bros locs ❤😂
Your little bro's hair came out great.
Your locs look fantastic BTW!
Subbing! I wanna see these updates 😂. I wanted Brother Locs, but went the traditional route
Amazing,.....
Y'all are too cute. Great work! "Brother locs" I like it.
Thank you! 🤗 I appreciate that
Thanks so much for sharing Queen and Karl, his locs look amazing.
They look even better now 1.5ish years out!
@@QueenEleem Can't wait to see the update. 🥰
Omg… they look beautiful on you, I remember when you first started installing your locs.
His gair looks great!
Whewwwww y’all related! 😂 kinda funny towards the end when u finally see his face, it kinda looks like an AI boy version of u…but he’s real. 😂 cute video. Excited to see his journey.
Nice job.
Ok Lil bro 👌🏾 nice.
My DIY grid is very much like Carl’s, and we have the same hair type, but mine is less dense. Thanks so much for sharing.
Which starter method did you use? How do you feel your locs turned out?
You should publish a book on your workings out please
Definitely Brother locs for Men 🥰
Niiiice
You both did an awesome job on Carl’s brotherlocs, can you please add the link to the acv rinse, I’m looking for one that’s effective. Thanks so much 😊
The recipe is in the blog section of my website Queeneleem.com
havent seen you for ages
Great job I have in the 300 range❤
How do you feel your volume is?
@@QueenEleem great question I did think it was going to be a concern but it’s been a year and they have really filled out lol and my hair seems to be layered or in layers so I love it. But I don’t do my own reties either🤦🏾♀️ I just can’t lol
Wow, he looks just like your mom.
Please do like your sister... Don't style so much. Just leave it alone and TRUST THE PROCESS ❤️❤️❤️
His texture is similar to mine, it seems (3c/4a). I have 328 locs and a lot of slippage. I wonder how his maintenance will be. I'm in the process of adjusting my schedule as well as what I do to maintain my microlocs. Leaving it alone, as people say, does not work for me because my roots LOVE each other and try to marry all the time, even from just working out (sweating).
Which starterlock method did you choose?
@@QueenEleem I started with braidlocs and just interlocked the roots. Some of mine have completely unraveled after washing, especially my nape area and my edges. The top of my head is the loosest 3c hair and those roots try to marry every week!! I'll have only had them for 2 months now. *I am using a 4 point clockwise rotation, wanted to add that. I have done two reties (one full 4 point rotation each time) and I am probably going to have to go 3 weeks for now until my locs are actually loccd bc I never go tight to my scalp and my hair grows fast.
I have a question for the middle part what could we do to tweak it to not have that middle back line look ?
The middle line won’t show really after install. I always make grids where all the parts line up, like a sisterlocks/Brotherlocks grid, to give a person maximum styling options.
his curls are pretty. i hope they dont thicken out to the point of looking dull and straight
we need Carl updates LMAO
Carls 1.5 year update just uploaded to the channel!
Part 1 of 2
Queen please how can I book with you ?
On my Instagram. DM me!
@@QueenEleemI’m just seeing this ! I just message you on Insta with my phone number
Are you taking clients 😢😢😢😢
DM me on instagram
Would you be open to getting paid to do this for a sub?? I'd pay you of course!
Sorry I don’t understand?
@@QueenEleem I just mean, me, as a subscriber would pay you to do my hair like this!
She is asking if you’re taking clients the same question I am asking I am not comfortable with everyone in my hair . Nobody care the integrity of people hair but yo are gentle . And doesn’t seem like it’s tight . Just right amount of pressure where your not concerned of breakage. Thank you hope you can answer us to 🙏🙏🙏
Oh yes I see. If interested in installs or retis please DM me on Instagram and I’ll provide you with more info
Thank you for clarifying, yes that's what I meant!@@Kollextionm
I finally got my microlocs. I wanted over 400...but the loctician insisted that sisterlocks and smaller microlocs "wouldnt work with my hair" so she installed 313 instead (I counted them because they never did). My hair is also 3b-4a, and I have a 4pt rotation. I'm only 2-wks in, and I have a lot of slippage and some gaps/holes in my locs already, she also left a LOT of hair out at the ends...like half the loc is loose hair in some of them. 🥲
Edited to add: last year (2022) I cut off 28in of hair (down to a tapered cut, bald faded on sides 3-4in on top), to start this journey, and started my install with 11-13in hair.
Dang I’m sorry. That’s something I would always talk to my clients about before hand. my new excel spreadsheet allows them to get exactly how many they want. AND we know exactly how many they will end up with. From what I’ve heard there are plenty of loctician that give every person more or less the same number of locs bc they don’t want to reti over 400 locs…
@@QueenEleem I'm pretty sure that's what happened. I don't even think they used a predetermined grid, just a party as you go technique. But idk
