    Thank you so much for this video. I have microlocs (self-installed). I palm roll to retwist as well. My Retwist lasts a little over a month. I only use water and castor oil and I tie it down with a satin scarf every night. It’s super moisturized and it’s rare that I even spray it with water. I’m six months in the game and I LOVE it! I Retwist every 6-8 weeks. I’m trying to extend it to 12 weeks.

      dont know if you guys cares but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch all of the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Been watching with my girlfriend for the last few months :)

    Thank you! I truly don't want to interlock. It seems so tedious and complicated, but I see alot of people end up doing it at some point.

    I am so glad you made this video. I was set on doing interlocking but it was so time-consuming for me. I wanted locks so I didnt have to spend so much time doing my hair. I definitely agreed with you about loving the "frizzy stage" and just embracing your hair. I started palm rolling and it takes up way less time.

    Yes! I have been trying to find more women who maintain their microlocs by retwisting. I installed and maintained my first set of locs, they were on the smaller side but not micro. I palm rolled them and never interlocked. What other UA-camrs did you find that maintained their microlocs with palm rolling?

  • @lp8598

    So glad i found you Alicia!! Im considering microlocs as my second set of locs (had traditional before) and im still deciding on "small traditional locs" or microlocs and ive NEVER wanted to interlock. I did it once with my previous set and hated the tension on my scalp so you are a God send knowing that palm rolling/retwisting is possible!!! Thank you❤❤

    Wow! It is nice to find this video. I was subscribed to your channel as a loose natural when you were “heat training” your loose natural hair. I am a #newsubscriber who is documenting my Sisterlock journey on UA-cam. I enjoyed this video.

    Beautiful locs. I’m still contemplating doing my hair as my boys both have locs and I am the one doing the research and twisting them. I also palm roll theirs as I took over after their loctician became overwhelmed with clients. I’m still learning theirs while maintaining them. I think they are lovely. One day I will be ready to commit. ☺️

    My First thought was you embraced the new growth. You got me to do that.
    I see them individually maturing.
    I can't wait to see them after a year

    I’m so happy I found your channel, I’ve been looking for so long for someone who doesn’t interlock their microlocs because that’s what I want to do. I haven’t started but I’m going to binge watch your videos, I’m so excited 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽😍😍

    You’re beautiful ❤️ I’ve been following you for years, since the beginning, but rarely commented. So happy you’re enjoying the journey. Your hair looks beautiful. I keep looking at microlocs but don’t see myself committing especially because of the retwisting process. However, it’s something to consider for sure once I get older. Thanks for sharing your journey

    Palm roll is the healthiest method for dreads, locks and micro - locks. It's an old method, but it's better for the hair.

    • @Covers-and-Commentary
      @Covers-and-Commentary 3 роки тому +6

      i see alot of people who palm roll get thinning, i haven't seen that with interlocking.

    I appreciate your sharing this Enlightening video... I thought I was the only one who decided to maintain my locs via retwist... I come across interlocking (even after two strand installing) posts and videos and I was close to going back to traditional locs but I am glad I am holding fast to my microlocs decision and your video just helped me further. Thank you 🙏🏿

    Thank you for sharing. I want micro locs but would you like prefer to retwist, but like you said it’s definitely in the minority when it comes to micro loc maintenance.

    Beautiful locs! So voluminous! I interlock mine and my daughter's. I was wondering how to make it last longer without unraveling, especially when working out, washing the hair or swimming?

      I have thin fine hair.... interlocked for the first 4 years. Now that it's solidly loc'd and thicker I've started retwisting.
