    I followed your guidance but have NOT taken the knots down because they came out too cute! My locs are almost as long as yours and after I did them, it turned out to look like a short, layered style that is awesome, Thanks so much for your post, this ended up being a 2 for 1 hairdo, I've worn the knots going on 2 days now lol You're AWESOME!!!

    Hey Chescalocs, I've been following you for years and I was honored to be a locstar! :) I agree about not twisting your roots on a regular. I used to twist every two weeks. It's been years since doing this. Now I twist maybe 3-4x/year. I find that my roots have grown so much! I do use a mixture of oils for my hair and that is it. My locs have reached my behind (whoohoo!) and I LOVE it, Keep up the great work. I love all that you do, you are an inspiration!! Happy 2015

    This style is way too cute. Your locs are such an inspiration. I just started my third loc journey about two weeks ago.

    I just did my lock knots while I twisted my freshly washed hair. My locks go past my collarbone, yet it took an hour and a half to twist and knot. Chesca , thank you so much for sharing all your how-tos. I am so excited to take out the knots and rock my stuff

    This way of loc knot with 1 loc looks very good or maybe better. I am so happy about the option of produce or no produce it goes very well with my budget. The many looks you get at each stage when the curl relaxes is just what I'm looking during the 2 weeks. Beautiful!!

  • @msbarb1
    @msbarb1 13 років тому

    Thanks so much for sharing, I'm getting ready to do loc knots for the 2nd time on Monday. I still have lots curls from you 1st video (lasting over 5 weeks). Now I'm going for the single loc knots you just Demo'd. I love that this method appears to be very gentle on my locs than other methods for curling locs, no products, and no stressing the locs with tools/equipment. Your locs look beautiful as usual !!

  • @gleilani0111
    @gleilani0111 13 років тому

    tried this style as soon as i saw it on fb. loved it! i did end up allowing the folded part to twist onto itself and I didn't really care for that; you end up with the wavy curl pattern for top half of the loc and the curly fries at the bottom. I'll try it untwisted next time. I just wanted to mention that I use a hair net with a scarf over it to maintain the curls overnight. thanks for another great loc style!

  • @dlishintucson
    @dlishintucson 13 років тому

    I used to use the same method (single loc knot) with locs above shoulder length. THAT ROCKED! I'm looking for slightly looser curls and I want somethgin I can wear in the world for a meetign tomorrow...
    You've inspired me to try this with four locs...wish me luck!

  • @AlwaysInspired305

    @Stephaniealicianaturalhair 13 років тому

    I love this. I do not have locs but I love this style. About three years ago, I had starter locs but I took them out. I like how you do versatile styles with your locs. You make these styles look so easy.

    I want to thank you so much for your videos it has given my mom and me so many options for her locs. Her hair is just as long as yours and she is always complaining about it just hanging on her head doing nothing so you are such a help. We will be trying the loc knots as well and will keep you posted on the results. Also, I just love your energy in your videos!!!!!!!

  • @chescalocs
    @chescalocs  12 років тому +1

    i've tried so many different methods to curl my hair including pipe cleaners and perm rods, and i found the loc knots to be the most comfortable. after i wash my hair, i towel dry it so it's damp as opposed to sopping wet. as i explained in the video, you shouldn't remove the knots until your hair is completely dry, otherwise the curls will not hold. so depending on my schedule i either leave the knots in for a few 2 or 3 days or i sit under the dryer to make sure they're completely dry

    I love the single knot look over the double. So much prettier and the curls are so defined! :)

  • @Spuunt
    @Spuunt 11 років тому

    I think I'll need a little help with this because it'd take me forever to do it myself but I'm so ready to try it (once my locks are retwisted, because they're one big mess now)!
    You are so beautiful!

  • @chescalocs
    @chescalocs  11 років тому

    sure! you can also use perm rods to get tight spiral curls. it's really just a matter of personal preference. for me, i prefer loc knots because they're more comfortable to sleep on that pipe cleaners. the pipe cleaners have wire in them and at times it can poke you. your hair can also get caught on the wire which can hurt. i also like loc knots because you can wear them out. i know some people wear the pipe cleaners out, but i never did because they weren't comfortable. hope that helps!

  • @maaaaanlisten
    @maaaaanlisten 12 років тому

    @chescalocs thanks! I think it's really cool that you (and the ladies you shouted out) have figured out a way to use your own hair as the rod. My locks are about your length, but about twice as wide, esp in the back. They take up a bunch of space on the rod/pipecleaner, and dont fit because of their length and girth. I may have to try and search for a longer rod, or something else to use, because I prefer it uniform. We'll see what I come up with!

  • @Ltlt225

    I don't even have locs. I can't even handle how much I love these videos.

  • @chescalocs
    @chescalocs  12 років тому

    that's really up to you. if you blow dry your hair you need to make sure your hair is completely dry. if it's damp the curls will fall really quickly if not immediately. i like to leave them in for a few days just to wear them short and also to make sure my hair is completely dry. the blow dryer never seems to get my hair totally dry

  • @StephaniaEVereen

  • @DCfan4life
    @DCfan4life 12 років тому

    Hey Ches, if your hair has a little curls in i how do you get them to straighten back out? I recently got my hair re-twisted and now my hair is flipping forward and to the side and some of the locs have bends in them. I don't like this look and I'd like them to remain straight. Any advice?

  • @detrapayne61
    @detrapayne61 10 років тому +4

    I so want to know how to thicken my locs. My locs are coming up on 8 years old, I love them, they have made my life easier and I feel more myself and attractive with them. I've had every hair style black women can have and locs have been the best for me. But I have thinner locs and yours are so thick and long, I wish mine to thicken, any suggestions? what shampoo and conditioner do you use? Thanks.

  • @chescalocs
    @chescalocs  12 років тому

    yes, you have to remove the band in order to unwrap your locs. i wear the loc knots for about 2-3 days. they don't unravel if you use a rubber band to secure them.

  • @BrownSugaThe
    @BrownSugaThe 12 років тому

    Awesome! Thanks sooooo much! I've been growing my locs for 5 years tomorrow (which also is my birthday) Haven't really been wearing many styles, but thanks to you I'll be attempting to try to style my own hair to give my pocketbook a break.....LOL! Blessings sista!

I think this style would be so beautiful and elegant on your wedding day! (Which is kind of a moot point because you will look absolutely AMAZING no matter what you do!)

  • @chescalocs
    @chescalocs  13 років тому

    @Aishaoaktree1122 is it completely loose? or are you just having trouble with the roots? maybe you should change the method you use for those locs? interlocking might be an option if you find that twisting isn't working. the thing is, retwisting your hair doesn't mean your locs are going to stay "perfect" between re-twists. they're going to unravel in between.

  • @atlantalocs
    @atlantalocs 11 років тому

    Girl! why did I bumped into this video today?! I started around 9 a.m. and just finished around 12noon my hair length is to my lower back. How long did it take you? I like the style and I think am going to keep it in for a while. Love it, appreciate your tutorials.

    Watching this video made me realize that I'm slowly but surely starting to get loc-minded. I like my loose hair a lot, but I think one day I might start locs since I've been interested for about a month, now. Are locs high maintenance?

    @tiffanyhooks4508 12 років тому

    I did the single loc knots today. It took forever since my locs are to my behind and I have a lot of them lol...I can't wait to see the finished look. I want to leave them in for a day or two. How do I make it cute because my husband is seriously not liking the knots.

  • @chescalocs
    @chescalocs  13 років тому

    @kendaboo77 you take the rubber band off and then unravel the loc the same way you'd unravel it if you were using a roller. it's kind of like rapping the loc but backwards. hope that makes sense. i think the end result is very similar to the pipe cleaners, the main difference is not needing a tool which makes them a lot easier to sleep in and more wearable. the pipe cleaners can be kind of uncomfortable because of the wire. hope that helps!

  • @SuperDivatude
    @SuperDivatude 11 років тому +1

    Okay so after watching you do this I guess my only question I have is when you curl it like you did is the whole lock curled or just the part that was wrapped around itself?

  • @chescalocs
    @chescalocs  12 років тому

    @maaaaanlisten as you can see in the video, the top quarter of the loc has a slight wave to it. the fact that the bottom of the loc is curly doesn't look strange or take away from the style. but if you're looking for a uniform curl from root to tip you can try pipe cleaners or rods

    @dirkh536 10 років тому +1

    I've been natural for roughly a year, maybe a year and a half, and, to be honest, I'm a bit lazy with my hair. I've been thinking about locking my hair for the last couple months, because locs are beautiful, and while they still require maintenance, it seems to be overall less than my current regimen, and the hairstyles have the capability to last longer, and just, the more I watch your videos, the more I'm really thinking I can have locs and still have cute hair, so I think you're definitely making a convert of me.

    @kendaboo77 13 років тому

    When your hair dries, do you just remove the rubber band and go or are you doing something else to the lock knot? Also, how is the end result different from pipe cleaner method, if any? Thanks! You have inspired me a lot b/c I was getting bored with my hair.

  • @chescalocs
    @chescalocs  12 років тому

    @PartyyNerd depending on how well you take care of them (ie wrapping at night) they can last up to 2 weeks! i included a photo of how my hair looked 2 weeks after and the curls fell a lot but my hair was still pretty curly.

    @chescalocs  12 років тому

    @msland05 i think sisterlocs are too thin for this technique. plus, it would take foreeeever to wrap each one individually. my suggestion would be to curl a small group of them at a time using perm rods or regular rollers.

  • @chescalocs
    @chescalocs  13 років тому

    @UntamedAwesome yes, but it's not really as noticeable as i'd assumed. I think because I did the loc knots and also because i've trained my hair to grow in fairly neatly
