      Lakisha Edwards Hi. They can be achieved without crocheting. They can be twisted with a comb to the end completely. Depending on the initial length it can be palm rolled (I preferred in one direction, I’ve sen back and forth on established locs) and set under a dryer. They unravel/ loosen but after a series of restyling over time, begin to lock and hold. They’re beautiful when done correctly or well. Hope that helps.🙏🏾

      It induces ASMR. Look it up. Some pple voices trigger it( like His in the video), others are triggered by soft sounds like that guy that use to paint on T.v.. The white guy painter with that Afro hair......he relaxes me. Look up ASMR pencil drawing , crinkle paper ( sometimes annoying tho), ASMR makeup. Its soooo many different ones. It's kinda weird....but I swear that stuff cures insomnia.

      I combed out my locs after 6 years. I love playing in my free hair, but, I miss the elegance of my locs. I have an old set that I cut off a few years ago. I'm trying to figure out how to reattach them as I type this now!!

    im not gonna lie, when i first saw the "instant locks" thing i was skeptical. i thought you were going to put a bunch of product on her hair, palm roll it and call it a lock. but the end product was so beautiful that i had to comment and tell you how great it looks. i have had locks for 1 year and 9 months and the end product looks like my locks did at 6 months. beautiful.

Not hee hawing and degrading their hair texture, the choices and past work one's done in their hair but encouraging the process helps, therefore I give two thumbs up to your focus. Please stay this way.
