    Another way to combine is to take one of your locs and stick it in the root of the other and loc it that way, this will prevent the loc from splitting or having a gap where you are twisting it together, and it will combined at the root...I hope this makes sense. Lol

    I combined my locs by sticking a loc inside the other loc. I two strand twisted down on some and sewed others together. I just recently combed out the two headed dragons and two strand twisted them like a starter locs. I went form 93 locs to 65.

    I originally started with 67 locs. I have really fine hair and love the look of thick locs as well 🥰 I now have 39 locs. Combined half of my head. Loveeeee it!!! I did the crochet method

    I combined mine. Two strand twist, but I opened the root of one,& put the other through it. I then 2 strand twisted them and then threaded them together and hand rolled them and I’m very pleased. When I let them hang down, they look very nice. Good luck with yours!

    You can also use a crochet needle to merge them immediately from root to tip. Just an idea. But I loved this. There’s no right or wrong way. Every journey is unique.

    I started with 74 locs and due to my the roots thinning & combining about 12 now so now I have around 68 by inserting one loc into the other at the root and two-strand twisting and putting a rubber band on the ends and have 6 two headed dragons which I don’t mind❤️☮️& blessings

  • @NottyGurlStyle

    If I need to combine a loc the fastest way I did it was to open the hair at the root then slip the other loc through it then twist. It locs fast.

    • @JaninePatrice

  • @tsimmonds55

    Hey there. I purposely made my locs on the thicker side when I was starting them because I didn't want to go through this process. It just seemed so much harder. I have 52 locs. The ones on the perimeter are thinner like yours but for the most part my locs are on the thicker side. I'm about to be 4 months in on Sunday and I like the way they are progressing. Good luck with thos new journey and I'll stay tuned.

    A friend of mine has had sisterlocs for 18 months now. Sisterlocks are high maintenance locs to me. They are expensive to install and maintain. They have to retightened (reties as the call it) somewhere about every 6 to 8 weeks routinely.

    I'm 18 months in my loc journey. I have combine like you did on several locs that had a thin base and I have allowed some to combine on their own that needed a thicker base too. Good decision.

  • @jess.talitha942
    @jess.talitha942 3 роки тому +3

    Sisterlocks aren't a low maintenance/ free form thing at al. They HAVE to be re-tightened on a regular schedule, especially within the first year. I hate when I have to combine a loc because it isn't strong enough. I have super small/small locs and I prefer that look on myself. Larger locs look good on you though and I follow a few people who have beautiful larger locs and they pull it off so well. I'm just not one of those people.

    Really interested to see how your combined locs have progressed. Any updates? I’m considering changing the size of my own locs (I’m 7 months in), but I don’t know if it’s better to combine them or comb them out and start over with bigger parts. What do you suggest based on your experience?

      Hey! I'll be providing an update on my locs and combined locs soon! If you feel like combing them out will be easy since you're 7 months along, I think that could be a good option! Keep in mind that the new loc may not be as long as the other ones when you do this, though. I think combining mine at the stage I'm in was best for me! Hope this helps 😊

    • @JaninePatrice
      @JaninePatrice  4 роки тому +5

      Thanks! And as far as the ends go, they won’t merge together. The combined part of the loc will get longer and it will appear split for a bit until it gets to a length where I can cut off the split parts and be left with the thicker loc. I hope that makes sense!
