    You are my inspiration to loc my own hair. I watched from the beginning! You are still just as inspiring as you were in the beginning!
    I am 65yrs old and you seem like a wonderful daughter and an very intelligent women.
    Throughout your journey you have been as beautiful on the outside as your warm, wonderfully, honest personality is
    that shines out from your
    countenance as you speak to us! I am so very excited to see your updates. I could only be prouder of you if you were my very own daughter! Keep true to yourself and may God continually bless all the works of your heart, hands and of your words!🕊🌹🕊

      So true. 18 months in. I had my microlocs installed as twists. The salon that did my twists sort of combined some locs which i understand since this was new to them (interlocking that is) and due to the price of retightening i began doing it myself. And i have to say i can complete my whole hair in judt three days. In the beginning it took me 2 weeks, then ten days then a week then 5 days then three days. So happy

    I’m about to do my micro locs myself. My hair is 22” and I’m sure I’ll be installing them for a least a week or 2. I’m trying to stay under 350 (thinking about the retie) I’m doing them so I won’t have a ton of maintenance. My detangle time is outrageous on loose natural hair. I normally keep my hair in box braids so there’s no reason why I shouldn’t loc. thanks for your videos. You’ve inspired me to go on and do it.

    They've really grownnnnn!! I remember watching your install videos for tips before starting mine. Love the curls, the layers formed at the back & browning at the ends.
    I really get your joy & smile, sometimes I stare at my locs at the mirror for so long thinking 'I did this! This was so worthit!' I cant believe the growth! mine are almost sitting on my shoulder, feel so excitedddd!!! Can't wait for more growth but enjoying where its at right now. Most fulfilling journey! Esp when I remeber my early months, depair, dissatisfaction and all haha.
    For those with baby locs, just have patience. it'll be totally worthit.

    FYI - I started my 12 year old's micro locs after I got my sisterlocks installed. We both love our hair. She has no regrets. We both really love your hair. Your locs are just an accessory to your beauty, Tay. Love ya gurrrl! Looking forward to seeing more of your journey.

    As I watch your video, I am removing my diy microlocs. I just did not keep up with the maintenance in the back. I love your dedication. I fully plan to re-install but like you, I have a bit of OCD and did not like the bump between my retie and the previous retie (from waiting too long between reties). Your locs look better than some I've seen maintained by professionals. I have not decided if I will self-install again. I am setting-up some consultations to weigh my options.The challenge is that my hair is more than twice the length in my back now (with no plans to cut). I did two-strand twist and not interlocking to start and really love the look. I love the interlock look as well. How do you stay so disciplined? Thanks and Congratulations on your 2- year Locaversary!!!! :)

    Girrrrrrl! I would continue to do my own hair like you have been doing, if you do not want to $#**t somebody that is🤣🤣! Most of these sisterlocticians them do not give a d@#n about parting, which really is the bottom line to maintaining healthy locks. All this borrowing hairs from neighbors is what thins locks at the base and subsequent breakage. And that sisterlocks clip tool is pure terror! It rips 2- 3 inches off a loc here and there, often, and I cant get my loctician to unmarry herself from that tool - for when she is doing my hair. I use her because she is the closest I have come to reasonable parting. The people who do their own hair have far more beautiful locs in my own opinion, I follow you and and Keke J, you guys are about parts! The results are incredible!
