I have over 450 (installed myself) and I use to do it in the bathroom took 5-7 days. Now after 8 months I sit right on the couch. I section my hair in bantu knots & go row by row by touch. No marrying! I can complete them in 2 days with shoulder length high density.
And this is why I gladly hand over $120-150 every 5 weeks for a retie. I can NOT! You hear me!!? HA!! You are amazing at this and so neat. I love watching your process.
@@Gullah_Geechee_Tarot this is true. I started out just living the ceremony of it all. Then, before you know it, as with anything you perform often, it becomes second nature.
Ni Ha You are so right. I loc’d my hair in October. I couldn’t take another session of detangling and twisting. I’m happy with my decision. I went to a loctition because...I would have made a mess out my hair. I love watching microloc videos though. I find them so be so pretty. Good luck to you on your journey!!
@@Gullah_Geechee_Tarot wow we sound the same. I’ve had bad experiences with locticians ripping my hair out trying to hurry and I’m tender headed. Started doing my own reties 3 years ago and love it 😍 now I don’t use the mirror at all my hands are trained to feel lol
The meticoulous effort you put into your reties and parting is straight GOALs!! Once my kids are older ama be able to camp out in the bathroom for hours. For now I retie on the fly takes decades I mean days!!
Hey, Tay. Have you ever thought of downloading the Iron Webcam app and using your phone and computer to do the reties? It saved me from standing and struggling in a mirror. It was as if I was doing someone else's retie. It was soooo much better than the way I used to do it. I think you will find that it is better than your setup as well. I hereby challenge you! Try it just once and comment me back to let me know what you think. Love the channel. - Until Christ Returns, Lanieda
I just did my first self retie on my Diy micro locs and girl my hands were over it by the end of it. Next time I think I am going to do what you did and do half one day and the other half the next, instead of doing it all in one day. Great video!
There’s a mirror you can get from Lowes that can be screwed into the side wall beside your bathroom mirror. It has an arm that you can pull out. The mirror also pivots. It works perfectly for seeing the back and sides of your hair.
Jerdon J2020C 8.3-Inch Two-Sided... www.amazon.com/dp/B000X2W6LQ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I hope this helps. It's a lifesaver for me. You won't be disappointed.
I am so impressed with your patience! The parts are so clean! I just did my own retie last weekend and although I think I did a good job, I was nowhere close to as meticulous as you were. It looks amazing!
I really appreciate you doing this video. You have taught me a lot especially the amount of patience that is needed. Your grid and hair is beautiful. Thank you.
I would pause and enjoy my ☕️ too, shoot - just the separating sections part exhausted me 🤣 ....and I’mma sit here and watch you while I further put off my own retwist (only 94 traditionals so I have nerve lol)
This video and all your videos are very helpful... when u put a clip or two on how u do it .... it really helps.... I'm very inspired by doing my own locks by just watching you.... thank you keep the video's coming
Your videos motivated me to start my journey!!! I ended up doing braidlocs because I just couldn't take the interlocking anymore🤦🏾♀️ I love how neat you have yours!
I love microlocs and used to want them but after watching how long the process is to retie has truly changed my mind. I am glad I have chosen smaller Locs that can be considered microlocs because of the amount I have. Even retwisting these is a process but I give you praise for your patience.
Aww your are an inspiration ma'am because my tots won't allow it, I am PROUD to say, I have 1/2 of my head COMPLETE!!!😝🤣🤣😑😆😆😆.......... And my parts looks no where near as beat as yours but one of these days...Hopefully!🤗
I would love to know what you do for a living! Pure meticulous personality! I am blown away. Would love to know more about the music too. I think I will make time to spend time with me too on my next retie. The amount of money I spent 18 months ago on install makes me sick to my stomach to this day! Sisters like you are pure motivation!
love your attention to detail! can't wait to see your 6 month update. any idea how much growth you're getting in each retie? have you noticed different sections of your scalp having different amounts of growth?
i’m almost 2 months in and twisting the loc around the need or interlock tool is genius. I’m going to try that. Your locs are really beautiful. Thanks for sharing your set up.
I swear I’m looking into a mirror! This is so me! Lol I went back to palm rolling but when I first started interlocking my hair I had this set up. I put tacks in the door(swivel action to see both sides👌🏾)so I could hang my mirror. And clips for days for sectioning off(I learned from accidentally creating some two-headed dragons🥴😆) I was so skeptical about other people in my head cuz I didn’t think they’d be as meticulous as I would. Props to you sis cuz your hair looks goodt!🔥
You are awesome!! I just don’t have the time. I would rather work extra to pay for my retie I just can’t. I’m new to the lock family 1 month to be exact and have my appointment for retie in a couple weeks I’m excited!
I micro locked my hair but I took it out because my parts wasn't straight everyone loved it. Those parts are important when you retighten. I'm going to try again you made it look so easy also tiny braids in the back was genius why didn't I think of that 🤣
Love your videos. You've done an awesome job installing and maintaining you new locs. I'm considering losing my hair. I was looking at Sister Locs, but my pockets aren't that deep. I've been natural since 2013 and been wearing my hair just wash in goes for the past year. My hair is thinning on the top as I'm menopause and my hormones are in play. I heard the thin Sister locs are a good option, but since I cannot afford those I'm looking at these micro locs. So you've had your locs for 6 month, have they all loced? I saw in your first wash some of the hairline locs came unraveled. Also wondering about using gels or waxes. Do they help hair loc? Please keep the videos of your journey coming. Thanks for inspiring us and keeping us informed!!
@@TayLaDawn after I ask I did see you said it later in your video thank you so much for answering I appreciate that. I just had mine installed and I’m thinking about doing my own reties and I don’t do hair at all. I know I’m going to struggle. I love your locs and the love n. Care you give to yourself n your hair

HOW COULD ANYBODY GIVE THIS A THUMBS DOWN! This is just her process and its the most cleanest and methodical I've seen yet!
The Lord blessed you with the spirit of patience. I could never!
Lol
I'm tender headed, have trust issues & have for the most part; always done my own hair. Once you get a regimen it's really not that bad.

You got me thinking I can do this, in reality, I cannot. 😫
I have said it and will continue to say it. The best grid. You do such an awesome job!! Beautiful

Your hair is beautiful. There is no way in the world I would be able to do this myself though. 😂

That's the OCD in her lol.... that's the problem I'm going to have when I start lol

Truly the best grid out there!! I just started doing my own reties as well. My first self retightening took me 18 hours!😊 Great video!
Excellent job Queen! I’ll have to revisit when I’m ready to try my own maintenance ... the commonality is patience.
I applaud you Queen! Your hair looks great 👍🏾!!!

Hello! I just love your microlocks videos. I tagged you in my YT retire video. Thanks again for sharing the tips, it helped out a lot.
Thank you so much! I love your locs as well! I will def check out your video!
love your attention to detail! can't wait to see your 6 month update. any idea how much growth you're getting in each retie? have you noticed different sections of your scalp having different amounts of growth?
Appreciate the very detail demo of your retie process! Extremely helpful!
I loooooove watching your videos. I can never watch enough retie vids. Please keep sharing your journey esp your reties (even in real time).🤗😊
You’re locs are beautiful! I would love to see a video of how you wash your locs. Im new to the loc family lve been loc’d for 2 months.
Great job
i’m almost 2 months in and twisting the loc around the need or interlock tool is genius. I’m going to try that. Your locs are really beautiful. Thanks for sharing your set up.
When I say you a BOSS... GIRL you a boss!
Did you establish your locs; and has anyone ever retied your locs?!?
🤗 Tysm! I did establish them and I haven't had anyone retie my locs as of yet!
Great job! I did a self retie in February and used the same tools. It takes a lot of patience and you certainly have that.👌🏾
This looks amazing I just had my first retighten. You are gifted, Hooyah
Girl that grid though...great job I just can’t see myself doing my own retie. Whoooo Lord.
I have been doing reties since the pandemic..wasn't a choice. You did a great job. New subscriber.
Thanks for subbing!
I love it because your set up is very genuine look like my own set up if I did my own but imma start
You're a good trainer, thank you.
Thank you for sharing. I was so lost. I kept trying to figure out how to keep these parts straight. This is a God send. 🙏🏾
I wished you lived in Nashville so you could do my hair😊 I love ❤️ your hair.

Woah there really neat nice👍🏾
Patience is an understatement! You are killing it! As for me I just pay to get it done but I admire your work!
Your hair is beautiful
Zoom mirror also is good to conserv the grid
Great video! ❤️
Wonderful job!!
Girl that wig head in the back scared the living day lights out of me at the 18:10 minute mark!!!😂
🤣🤣🤣
You did great !!!
Awesome job! Beautiful hair❤️
I so appreciate this video and the close ups. What oil, shampoo/ conditioner do you use?
Amazing! I hope to be as capricious as you are!
you’ve done a great job
I did ask my questions in the beginning of the video
Great job!

Hello... I love your system. How long does it take to do your entire head?
Ok, I bought the mirror about two weeks ago... grid not perfect, but I did it. Ty
Wow amazinggg job
Neat
Your hair is so cute

Hi. Thank you for the video. Your locks are beautiful. Can I ask what lighting you use?. Thanks in advance.
Can you please share, where you purchased the section stool to hold your mirror up?
Wow that takes patience but it looks beautiful
I may have missed it but how often do you do your retights
I would say on average, every 8 wks
My apologies if this has already been asked, did you do your own initial install or had them installed?
I installed them myself 😊
I wish I could interlock my own hair.
Tay, thanks tou sharing these videos. What do you put on your hair. Do you only have water in your spray bottle and do you use any oil?
I have looked at all of your videos but I can’t tell if you two strand or braid your locs. I’m ready to start. Please let me know.
How often can you wash interlocs, and can I use a hair grease instead of a oil? Will grease build up?
It depends, I wash mine maybe every 2 weeks. I'm not sure about grease or oil because I don't use any 🤷🏾♀️
Good job
9:35 is when starts the retie, your welcome.
It was suppose to say "Iriun Webcam" sorry about that. -Lanieda
Please can you do my hair for me too, where are you located
There is a mirror app that you can hook to your computer. You need a tripod
I have one too for your muscles
Where did you get the tool kit you use?
I bought it from Amazon! The tool is in the description box 😊
What point rotation do your recommend to eliminate the “Y” in Locs?
Good question! I think as long as you don't go thru the same hole multiple times the "Y" shouldn't be too noticeable.
@@TayLaDawn I just did my first retie using 2 pt North and east so I think next time I’ll do east and north
What rotation do you use 2,3,or 4?
I use 4 point rotation.
@@TayLaDawn after I ask I did see you said it later in your video thank you so much for answering I appreciate that. I just had mine installed and I’m thinking about doing my own reties and I don’t do hair at all. I know I’m going to struggle. I love your locs and the love n. Care you give to yourself n your hair
😉
How many locs do you have?
379! 😊
Can you retired then decided to just switch up your hair
nor me too fine
hi , may i know your email ?
Your don't look loc
They're not yet 😊
Great job
Aww your are an inspiration ma'am because my tots won't allow it, I am PROUD to say, I have 1/2 of my head COMPLETE!!!😝🤣🤣😑😆😆😆..........
And my parts looks no where near as beat as yours but one of these days...Hopefully!🤗
