I respect everyone that does their own!! 🙌🏾
Me tooooo! I lack the patience
Achoti me too! I just shared this video with my sister (My Achoti, as she is thinking to finally loc her hair) I call k my locspiration , I told my that she did her own, I said. I’d rather pay. Now K has clients, she is blessing people with their loc installation! HalleluYah!! 🙌🏾🙋🏾♀️
Jesus!😉
& Did .. 😁😁
I wanted sister locks but this size is close to the versatility and manageability that I want. Looks amazing!
I love the 2 entry point rotation. Its easier and faster for me. And i use the exact same tool :) I'm happy you use this rotation because my daughter loves the way your locs look and i will continue the 2 pt
Yes, mine too
That re-tighting looks fresh and clean. Good job 👍
Sherrell S thank you!
I admire you for doing all that on your own. GOOD JOB!!
Queen Alysia thank you!
@@NapsAreTheNewBlack Hi.Which method did you use to start your locs?They are beautiful.
So right about roots type. Mine stray in the beginning. Then when length comes, my roots stay with the locs. I just started my third journey, but my first set of micro locs. This is the best and most informative hair video I’ve seen on UA-cam. Most just love to hear themselves speak. You shared and illustrated well. I love the elephant in the background. Spirit animal 💕
thank you so much 🖤
Thank you for making this video. This is the simplest/detailed and educational tutorial I've seen so far. Now I feel confident in starting my locs on my own.Thanks again🙏❤
Instead of a bigger needle I just inserted a flat screwdriver into the needle eye and gently but firmly twisted it. That will widen the hole for your fatter locs. I also used wire cutters and trimmed the needle down so it was easier to grasp. Hope this helps you or anybody else.
I did that and it was soo helpful. thank you!
Your hair is gorgeous. I’ve been researching trying figure out which method I want to start my locs and the micro twist with interlocking seems to be the best. I plan to put my twist in this weekend.
Virtuous Woman nice good luck with your journey!
Virtuous Woman how are your twists coming along?
This is the exact size I have been looking for. My hair is super thick so these look perfect. Starting them this weekend. Thank u
Awesome! I'm so excited for you :)
I have sisterlocks, this is absolutely gorgeous and so neat!
thank you so much!
Your videos are great like a breath of fresh air and good advice! No waffle and straight to the point, your hair is looking AMAZING keep videos coming please I enjoy watch all it and not skipping through like I do with done of my other subscribed channels! 👍🏾🤫😊
Dione Howell i really do try to get straight to the point! Thanks for noticing 🧡
So everyone is being extra when they tell me I need to do a 9.6 point rotation! Thank goodness lol 🙌🏿🤣
Frosandavocados lol not necessary at all! It might make them feel thinner actually. The more points in the rotation, the more compact/thin the loc ends up being
Briana G could they have been referring to a 2 point rotation, done from 9:00 and 6:00?
@@NapsAreTheNewBlack I did not realize that, thank you! You did my install and I am preparing myself for the first interlocking session.
I love the thickness of your locs. I think that is the size I will go for.
Love your hair I've been researching micro/sisterlocks and your video is EXTREMELY HELPFUL THANKS
b cw ahh! Glad I could help in some way 💛
YOUR LOCS LOOKS REALLY GOOD.
Cheryl Shelton thanks for the kind words ☺️
I love this video. I find myself coming back to it often. I recommended it to a few people during one of Imani Goodridge's live streams.. 😊 great job!!
janisa reeves thank you❤️
Your hair is maturing beautifully! !!!
samcam1199 thanks! Thats so exciting to hear 😁
I love your locs!
TyKara Ann wow thats crazy bc you were one of my motivators for sure 😍😍 thanks for the support
you took the words out my mouth!!
Your hair is gorgeous! I just learned to do my hair with twists and braids, due to the covid-19 isolation. There is no way I could do what you're doing and still keep my sanity! I want dreads but I'm going to have to get them professionally done. God bless you☺
mavm2727 thank you! And as long as you love your hair, it doesn’t matter who does it 😊🖤
Your hair is gorgeous and your voice is soothing
Thank you!
Good job! Beautiful Wow you good at what you do. Congratulations ❤
Thank you so much!
I’ve watched a lot videos in this process and I like yours the best especially the size of your locs…very nice.
Thank you!
Omg i am SOOOO glad i found your channel. I have 264 locs that I just started October 1, 2020. I am currently 10 weeks post retie (Nov 9 2020) and this video is right on time. I didn't know I had to 'pop' my locs. I'm also scheduled for my retie on monday coming. I can't wait. Thanks for sharing this! It's very informative. your hair looks exactly like mine so this makes me feel like I have a great reference person to look to for information!
what does popping loc mean?
I really love this method and what I have been doing because of your video. I have done two retwist so far and they look amazing. Thank You for the video
That is awesome!
OMG this is so beautiful!!! I wish I had your density, I have half of this density. 😍😍😍
janisa reeves thank you! And i only have medium density hair, your hair may be just as dense, but not as evenly cut?
@@NapsAreTheNewBlack no it was even. Your hair looks like high density. Oh I have fine hair too. Like my 2 strand twists would never last that long..
janisa reeves i see! Well dont spend your time wishing for more density. Your hair probably dries quicker and is easier to manage, plus im sure its beautiful 🖤
@@NapsAreTheNewBlack thank you. It does dry pretty quickly & it is easier to manage. I'm just gonna enjoy my journey. 😊
So my loc crush 😻 beautiful job, 2 point rotation will be my method when I loc.
Ur hair looks amazing, ur voice is so sweet. U remind me of a friend of mine, and ohhh ur absolutely gorgeous ! I'm 2 months microloc'd and i'm a bit nervous abt retightening my hair the right way. thanks a lot ! 😘
Rose Andre thank you! And you got this ❤️
Am so glad I came across your video coz I just did this micro twists on my baby and I had no idea of maintenance ....now your definitely have a new subscriber
This video was so helpful. You answered my question regarding how much new growth you should have between reties, which is about 1 inch. You and your locs are beautiful 😍
You did a great job! Your hair looks professional! Great job!
thanks!
I did my first interlock Sunday. 2 months loc'd. Started 4 point rotation. My next tightening, in trying 2 point. Pray I don't have holes. I love how interlocking looks,
The name of your channel brought me here. Love it. Great information Sis. Thanks for posting.
I'm pretty sure this is how I'm going to start my locs.
You are so beautiful. And so is youre hair. Love from Holland❤️🙏🏾
Denver Phoenix thank you kindly 🧡
Omg I love your energy! You seem so sweet, I enjoy your videos, very helpful, and you have helped me decide how I want to restart my locs, I'm so happy I found you! 🌈 🥳👍
Awesome video on how to retighten. Your Locs are gorgeous
unaweza thank you!
Ugh!! GORG! Im going to start my daughters locs just like this!
It looks so neat!! I love it.
Thank you! 😊
I love a fresh retighten!!! Your hair looks great!
Tatiana Victoria thank you ☺️
Your locs are gorgeous!!! 😍😍😍😍
Thank you so much 😀
They look so beautiful 💛🙌🏽💛
Tamaria Lakayye thank you 💛
Your locs are beautiful!! And you have such a bright and lovely personality. I'm subscribing :-) When I do decide to loc my hair again, I'm thinking of doing microlocs and/or interlocking. I always did palm rolling but if I'm active at all I tend to sweat in my hair and there goes my lovely fresh retwist :-( I just don't have all the time to do interlocking....it is such a longer process...but we'll see what I decide.
DaniGyrl82 thanks! And yes interlocking takes longer but also lasts longer (8-12 weeks vs 4 weeks) so I would bet that the time investment ends up evening out between the two methods
Your hair is just out of this world! And the parting is beyond belief to have done it yourself! I would have loved to see how you prevent accidentally combining locks in the back of your head. I have to learn how to self re-tight. Is the 2-point rotation faster than the 4? How long does it take you to do your whole head?
Priscilla Ayerite thanks! And the 2 point is faster 😊
The best instructional video I’ve seen! I just started my journey and I’ve been doing a 4 point rotation. Do you think I can start doing the 2? Its looks much easier
thanks! and yes, absolutely. I started with the 4 and switched to a 2-point around my 3rd reti
Lol, ur so funny. Now we came to see your full progress. You r big inspiration to me.
So gorgeous! I love your locs!!
caliBornbEauty thanks love 💕
I love the elephant in the back
Your locs are so lovely. you inspired me! While i decided on a more "traditional" loc size with about 98 or so vs micro, I do appreciate the simplicity of your maintenance routine and the clarity of your tutorials! Thank you! All the best in your loc and med school journey! what will be your medical speciality (if decided)? I am enjoying a second career as a dental hygenist for about 3 years now! AP was one of my favors on my prerequisite journey! Be well 🙂
Your locs look so good! I was thinking about doing the interlocking on my own, but I'm not too sure lol
Thank you for the closeup & diagram, appreciated.
Omg, u did good good! 🤗 oh btw love the tapestry!
Sajdah Samuels thanks and Ive had it since college!
Wow I see the inch you grew after your re-tie. I love the results. I’m on week five and plan on waiting until week 10 as well.😍😍😍
Cutie Caramel i was excited to see a tiny difference in my length! Let me know if the same happens for you when you reti!
For the record, hair grows half an inch a month on average so you’re right on track
Your locs are beautiful I started mine with interlocking I only have about an inch of twist on the end but I’m about two months in and I’ve have an inch both reties
Your locs are beautiful. 😍
I have been researching and researching and the last few days I've said I'm doing sisterlocs or microlocs. So I've been going down that rabbit whole and then came across your locs and said Ummmm maybe micro twist is a better option. Omg I dunno anymore but I love your locs and the ease I which of learning to do then on my own. Ok back to researching I go but you got a new subby.
I make sure i end all my 2pnt rotations in n-s so that i don't have to wonder
You did such a great job 👏🏿👏🏿
Nathalie G thank you!
I like how you get right to the point in your videos. Can you do a video on how to fix the holes in your locs? I interlocked my long natural hair about a week ago and now I can see obvious holes in my locs. Please help! Thanks. 😊🙏🏾
Tivice Rush yes i can! In the meantime Feneti has a great video on this on her channel 🖤
Beautiful Queen where did you go?? I trust you are well, we miss you and your gorgeous locs. Blessings to you.
Just uploaded a new video 😊
@@NapsAreTheNewBlack Yes, I just seen that and really glad to see you. Your hair has flourished beautifully too and congrats and God bless on your new season.
Yeah I need to start doing this method. I did a retwist on NYE and about a fourth of them unraveled 😫. Plus I miss washing my hair weekly, although I’m trying to push it to 2 weeks though.
Oh wow your hair looks gorgeous!!
This is the best video I have seen
Great video!😄
You inspire me. And I Love your hair.
Your hair is beautiful!!!
Your hair is gorgeous!

Shawntae Willis thank you!

Your hair is perfect.
Cassie Raye aww thank you ☺️
Re-tea😁🌻💕💕i love you girl🎉 and thanks for the great info👏
Love the video, your locs are beautiful
Thank you so much!!
As of now, It's been 17 weeks since my last retightening 🤣 I don't think I'll ever wait this long again
RJ Merritt your new growth is probably crazyyy lol
NapsAreTheNewBlack 😭 it’s a mess
Your locs are inspirational!
Thank you!
Great job! I could definitely do the top and sides but I’d be concerned about joining ones in the back.
Robin F thanks! And yeah clips are definitely necessary to keep all the hair you aren’t working with out of your way!
Looks Great! I was thinking of trying the 2point on my next Retie.. I did the 4point on my last video.. love it!!!
Very educational. And. A beautiful job, by the way!🤗😉
Your locs and voice and awesome. I have a quick question why did you decide to use the two point rotation and not three or four
Great video 😀! Thanks for sharing ❤️!
Thanks for watching!
@@NapsAreTheNewBlack You’re welcome ☺️!
Did you start them as regular two strand twists?,And if so did you interlock the roots initially or did you start interlocking at your first retightening?
You locs are gorgeous, mine are two months old and my new growth grows away from locs so I cant semi fre form like I planned, I have to interlock pretty much every time I wash which is every 3 weeks
Thanks! And as your hair matures, it may start to grow into the locs a little more
I love your locs.❤️
thank you ☺️
Such an amazing soul
awh thank you 😊
I'm not fully understanding how I would know where I ended my last rotation for my next Retie. Can you explain that again?
2 point rotation creates a Y shape where you end.
Great job! Very nice grid and rotation initiation! #TheknottytruthDIYLockManual #Amazon
thanks ☺️
So I subscribed b4 i even listened to the video, just bc ur hair is so beautiful and so are you!!! Ok let me go pay attention, lol
Beautiful! I just started my twist locs. How soon did you wait before interlocking and washing your hair?
Please give more advice your hair looks great😊
Looks great! What made you decide to do 2 point rotation instead of 3 or 4?
raineynight its easier/quicker for me and i think it leaves the bases a tad bit thicker!
I love love it! 😘💚
Thank you! 😊
Your hair look so good💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Thank you!!
I've been following you for a while now on ig, I thought I was subscribed to your UA-cam but I wasn't. Well I am now!! 😊😊
janisa reeves thanks for the support!
I really love your locs. They are so neat. I had been contemplating getting locs but the moment I saw your video and started following your loc journey, I made up my mind. I am 5 months locked and still trying to find a loc tool. Pleace can you post the link to the loc tool you are using? I will appreciate it. Thank you.
I love your hair did you do your own locs? My question is do you have 2 strain twist ?
Yes! I started them myself with 2-strand twists
Your hair is so beautiful!Is there a special name for the locing tool you used?
ambe nicoline thank you! And nope I just looked up small crotchet needles on amazon
Love your hair it looks beautiful healthy and full
BEAUTIFUL RESULTS! where did you get your tool to retightening?
Natasha Simmons thanks! And i got it from amazon
@@NapsAreTheNewBlack hi could you post a link of it
