How to install locs
If you have been wanting sisterlocks or micro-sized locs in general but didn't have the coins for them, like myself and my mom, I hope you find this video helpful. In this simple video tutorial, I show you the method that I used to install micro sized interlocks on my mom and I.

Who in the hell gave her over a 1k dislikes?? This is sad. I’m sure it’s professionals. I’m a sisterlock consultant and I love your work. You did a fabulous job establishing your mom DIY Microlocks. Keep doing what you best. ❤️🔥
Probably jealous locticians who can't even get 10 likes
I rarely give comments but I had to. You are the real definition of patience, I pray you end up with a good husband who can appreciate your gentle soul ijn. Amen!!!
4 years later and I'm here for all of this. I got microlocs close to a month ago, and the lady used the 4 point rotation just like the video and I loveeeeee my hair.
Guuuuurl, sister locks is gonna be mad at you.🙎🏽 But too bad for them. It's ludicrous that the process should be some secret society when really, it's just the same method as interlocking larger sized locs. I figured that out a few years ago. Kudos to you for sharing your research! 💁🏾Your mama is lucky to have a daughter like you!!!
Haha 🤷🏾♀️ they’ll be alright lol and thank you!!
They sure will .. wish my head my close 🤣🤣😂😂
Can these be taken down after ?
Secret society...lol
Wish I saw this before paying $1000 for my sisterlocs
Your attention to detail was amazing. Your gentle handling of your mom's hair was heartwarming. (So many people are so rough when they handle natural hair.) This was without a doubt the best tutorial I've seen on installing microlocs!
simply d I agree! The very best!
Facts
I have to agree. By far, her attention to detail was bar none. And, her touch seemed so gentle. I wish you were in Texas @Katya Sandrine
I agree.
Agreed. Hands down. So thorough and dedicated ❤
Young lady you’ve done an excellent job... I own a unisex hair salon & some of my professional licensed stylist can’t even do what you have done. My hats 🎩 off to you. I’m offering you a job if you live in Atlanta,Ga ( in Buckhead area) I’ll be willing to let you work under me as an apprentice if you like to go to cosmetology school. You are naturally gifted 👍🏾 keep up the good work
Woww!! That is such an awesome compliment. Thank you so much :)
Katya Sandrine You are most welcomed.... I don’t mind giving an genuine complement when it’s needed. Keep up the great work it sharpens your craft....😃
Katya Sandrine do you do other people hair?? Where are you located
@@katyasandrine4949 where are you located?
Well done
As a Loctician for well over 30 years I say young lady keep going you did a great job I would hire you if you did this great on ya own I say you should have your own salon and go all the way🥰🥰 I will retire from this one day and I greatly appreciate seeing new talent and DiY'ers keep doing y'all thang babies🥰😊
Your wisdom and knowledge is encouraging to me. I am thinking about getting professional locs and to see you not discouraged an unlicensed young lady is heartwarming. Be Blessed Beloved.
Oh my goodness the freedom of being able to wear curls, waves, updos, half up half down all down all without having to comb it. Amazing just amazing. I want this hair style now.
That's what got me interested as well.
This made me miss my mom so much ❤️ your mother is beautiful!
Kulan Taha ❤️❤️
I immediately thought of my mom as well
💞
So amazing! You are indeed a professional! You studied, you applied the material, you installed each LOC with so much tender love and care! This qualifies you as a "professional". The Bible says to study and show yourself approved. You have done exactly what the word says. I am left in tears; this was simply beautiful. God bless your hands. Your mom is one special lady. Otherwise, you would not have sacrificed the time. You both have made an incredible sacrifice. Thank you for sharing your gift.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Keep The Change Your comment was so sweet. Wow thank you for such kind words.
That you gave this tutorial for FREE is amazing! Thank you for this! I understand the hustle, but you'd be surprised at how difficult it is to see this up close, sis. AND you did an awesome job of explaining everything. Looks great!💯💯💯
Thank you for an excellent tutorial.
First off, God bless u for locking all of this hair!!! Second, this is hands down one of the best tutorials I’ve seen. Very well spoken and explained
Amber Jae Thank you for watching :)
your old of course you're going to give her a compliment she's boring she talks too much she needs to bring some type of excitement to her voice and start playing some black music. smh tryine 2 be white
+Queen Bitch Girl, hush.
Queen Bitch And your mentality is of a 12 year old. Shut your ignorant ass up.
I agree ☝️
There is only one other video that shows how to install. You are sent from heaven❤️
Thank you!
Tia Thompson can you share the link to the other video please. ☺

I put it as the first link in the description
How Is Prengnent Formed. She just told a trade secret.
Awesome work. Your mother has raised an incredible human, doing months of research and having so much patience to do this for her. Her hair looks great!
Baby girl you need to be a certified stylist, best video ever. I’ve been wanting to learn this method, but no one wants to teach without charging a ton of money. Thank you so much.👏🏽
My mind is blown 🤯🤯 you made locs IMMEDIATELY. No braiding the hair or twisting it and waiting six months to a year for it to loc. I’m shook.
Best tutorial ever on UA-cam, I really searched on this for a very long time trying to learn how to do it , but most of the people who have done this kind of tutorial have been hiding some parts that you don't get it. Now I'm confident I can do it since your instructions are so clear step by step to the end. Thanks for sharing, may God make you richer than ever.
Amen to that prayer!
You have lovely hands. The way you handle your mother’s hair says a lot about how you feel about her. This hair “ritual” has always bonded Black mothers and daughters...grandmothers...sisters...cousins. It is uniquely different in that no other culture (with little exception) invests that kind of time ....that kind of attention to detail. Even little girls are expected to sit.....sometimes for hours.... in elongated silences in order to complete the task. It’s been a long time since I’ve experienced this. I miss it...
Wow truly a work of art..there should be a loc gallery with huge professional photographs, drawings and paintings hanging up and locologist standing by, answering questions and doing demonstrations. That would be so beautiful.
What A Beautiful Thing You Did For Your Mom! Since Being Out Of The Military I'd Been Wearing My Hair In Dreads As Well, Doing Them Myself As I Couldn't Bring Myself To Pay The High Cost Of Beauty. I Started W/Two Strand Twists...They Work, But I Always Had Trouble Keeping Up W/Them OTR In My Semi, They Would Unravel Or I Had Trouble Keep'n Them Going. I Recently Came Across Your Video & Actually Found A Technique & Tool Style That I Could Even Do While Sit'n In My Truck Pick'n/Drop'n Loads & People Wouldn't Look @Me As Strange - LOL! When I'm Tired & Really Don't Feel Like Do'n My Hair...I Turn On Your Videos & They Inspire Me. Thank You!!! P.S. My Son Is In Nursing School Right Now...He's Considering The Physician Assistant Program...He's Very Bright, Patient & Has Attention To Detail Like You ;-) Semper Fidelis
Gurl!!!! You did such a beautiful job. I am a loctition and I'm in awe of how neat, and attentive you are to the hair. Good job. Thanks for sharing!!!
This is the best instructional video I have ever seen..No shenanigans!
Ive been wanting sister locs for 2 years. Lately Ive been spending hrs on social media watching videos, 😍 pictures,but I have 15 inches of loose natural hair. Ive been quoted from 900 to 1200...my pockets aren't set up for that. Thank you, thank you bunches.
lakeisha stark same here!
Clear concise instructions, with important informational tips, and no costly tools recommended. You did a good job young lady, thank you.
You just saved me $600 I appreciate you queen!
Lil Body You’re so welcome
Lil Body Exactly!
Same
Dude are you for real, 600$??? For what ???
My sister paid $700 and $120 to retighten. I started retightening because of social distanceing. I am not a loctechian either but it looks lovely. My suster likes it better, probably because it was free🤣. Once I went through her hair, I found opening in some of locs loose, hair at various areas along the locs😳, I mean if that is how licensed professional's work, I will pass.
Your mother is beautiful! She reminds me of my mother and aunts lol. A calm grace.
I’m sure all those dislikes came from professionals, because I see absolutely nothing bad about this.
💙💙💙
exactly folks ha e right to share their talent
They gots shook when they seen her talent lol and the fact that she gave the at home tutorial making a a difficult process a lot more easier.
That’s what im sayin! I’m tryna save money! When I get this parting down I’m in therrrrr😫🙏🏽
Of course
Hahahhha
I know this is an old video but I still want to offer you my props. I did microlocks on my hair 2.5 years ago and I wish I would have ran across this video then. It would have made my parting more precise. I started off as a Braider more than 30 years so it wasn't difficult and mine are beautiful. Now that people are asking me to do their hair I want to make sure I have the parting process down pat. Thank you for sharing this entire process, I could not find this "secret society" information anywhere. Kudos to you young lady. ❤
I'm a male with semi freeforms idk how I ended up here or why I watched the whole video 😂 but good video this somehow held my attention
Haha idk why your comment made me laugh so much but thanks for watching!!
Lol
Lol I watched a man weave today,enjoy lol😂
As a free former I’m like wheresthe thick roots these gnna break Nd how .bruh I’ll wake up with a million Congo’s lol
@@brianreyes5208 😂😂 funnily enough even though they're small with healthy hair they wont break off. I was worried about the same thing
Sweetheart, you've done a great job. Since there are a few complaining that your method is neither a Sisterloc, Microloc or Interlock technique, then Look into Your Own Patent.
What you've done is the same way I learned and all my Clients have not only LOVED IT for yrs but, continue to refer people to me as well!!
Do Your Thing in EXCELLENCE!!
I know this is an old video but you did an amazing job detailing the parting process. It's what I've been looking for. I've had locs in the past and am ready to go back to them but didn't want to do them on my own. You did an amazing job. Would love to see how your mom's hair looks now.
I'm reading these comments and some of you all are waay off. It clearly states microloc installation and that's exactly what it is. Where are you all coming off with this Sisterlocks thing? I have been through the Sisterlocks training so I'm not at all offended by what she has done. She said it's microlocs and that's what it is. She did a great job of doing microlocs and if you don't want to pay for Sisterlocks brand, technique, and maintenance, then this is your alternative, but by no means can you call them Sisterlocks and down the road it'll show. It's not a secret society it's a brand and if those of you who have a brand would know that you would do whatever it takes to protect it. Those of us who have actually paid to go to a class know that. It's a standard that you would uphold. Katya, your microloc installation is absolutely beautiful.
Can you explain the difference between sister locs and microlocs? To the untrained eye they look exactly the same
Sisterlocks are a brand and there is a different technique in establishing according to the clients hair. I cannot go into detail with technique there are classes you can go to that will teach you the technique and how to establish according to the client. www.sisterlocks.com. No I’m not an ambassador nor have I’ve been paid to say this. It’s just Ms. Cornwell has gone through a lot to protect her brand and as a registered trainee I am bound to protect her brand as well as myself. But I like I said before this video is an excellent video for Microlocs.
I took a SL course years ago but I dont remember the parting instruction being as detailed as yours. Great video. I will do my own microlocs now.
After weeks of research….your video is the only one that has me fully confident that I can do this. I know this video 6y/o but I am so grateful I found it. Thank you!
I can only echo everyone else by saying "You did a fantastic job!." It looks wonderful 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Young lady.....AWESOME job!! I never understood why the method was such a secret but it's out now. You and your mom should be proud. A job well done.Thank you for sharing!!
I agree that this is the best tutorial. Your Mom is blessed to have a daughter like you! Blessings x
Aww thank you :)
You are most welcome x
Fay Samuel pttuhiuhium,lm.knknkj;lkhonko;n’ohk
Very nice
Fay Samuel I know a Greenz 🇬🇩 gal in London that can do this . These ladies are patient and talented wow
So nice that you could do this for your Mom. Must have been a special bonding time. Congrats!
What did you say? You said something about doing my Microlocs for me....Sure. Send me your info and prices. I’m ready NOW!!! 🤗🤗🤗 I’m so serious.
Great job on your mom’s hair!!!
Your work is so on point!!! I have had sister locks for 4 years. Frankly, your method of twisting off the ends is GENIUS!! I have been trying to take the SL training course for years and for one reason or another it has never happened. I'm going to go with your method first. Thank you for sharing your knowledge Queen, be as blessed as you have blessed all of your audience. 😍😘😘😘😘🥂🍾
thank you for FREELY giving this information
My pleasure :)
I agree. Thank you so very much!! 💗
So many wonderful comments and positive energy sent your way. You did any amazing job and your patience is over the roof! May you and your mom stay healthy and blessed.
Dutchess Dioji Aww thank you so 🙏🏾
I have traditional locs, but you did an awesome job! Very detailed and easy to understand. This is my first time seeing someone install microlocs using their fingers.
Glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for stopping by!!
Wowwwwwww!! Beautiful work! I'm just beginning a microloc journey with 2 strand twists. This is so inspirational. I am glad to read how many loctitians gave you some love. Your work is amazing! BTW...can we talk about how much hair your Mom has!!!!!!! Omgosh. Gorgeous hair even before the locs.
This is the BEST video I've seen. My oldest son, done mine in DECEMBER. YOU DONE AN AMAZING JOB ON YOUR MOTHER'S HAIR.
Aww thanks!!
Thank you soooo much for this video. Most people have only talked about micro locs and have not shown how to actually start them.
The only thing that's been stopping me from getting sisterlocs is the amount of time it takes to complete them. These are beautiful though. Nice video
I have looked at a lot of videos but she is the first to help it click for me. I already have braidlocs but most of my strand is loc’d, I’m taking out the part at the bottom that still has the braid pattern and interlocking up to the loc’d part. Thanks for sharing.
YOU DID AN AMAZING JOB! My older sister has sister locks and I wanted to lock my hair but my hair is very fine (much like your Mom's hair). You just made it look super simple to lock on fine hair. Totally showing this to my family! God bless you girl!
I don't know why but this video mad me cry. You are so calm and gentle with your mother's 💓 hair. Your details are simply amazing. You are blessed by the almighty with Grace and love. Beautifully crafted gifted hands. God bless you and your family. Absolutely beautiful Job.
You did an incredible job with this installation! I took the Sisterlocks course and although our grid,the tool and some of the interlocking techniques are different, in my opinion your technique is great as well. Your important points were spot on, especially making sure that you always pass through the center of the hair and not to pass through the same side more than once. Beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing.
:) Wow Thank you!!
YaYa hey but since you took the class can you do the same styles with the Micro locs as you can with the sis locs because folks been saying for me to get the Micro Locs instead idk what to do
Beautifully Mastered you can do the same exact styles with microlocks and sisterlocks! ❤️
Jci
oh my you're the best instructor,,, I'm five years interlock and no other video yet explain so simply eloquent as yours...
This was a great tutorial video, first one I've seen that actually SHOWED how you start installing the micolocs. Very informative and well done. Thank you,
Young woman I signed in so I could just say I have not until NOW. You are the BOMB. I thought you could only accomplish that with a store bought tool I am speechless really. WOW WOW WOW. You are amazing.
dyonomite reacher Aww thank you!
Wow. I can’t believe you aren’t a loctician. You did amazing work!
My baby girl just got her big chop done yesterday and wants me to install micro locs on her at the end of the year. This is so helpful to me so thank you and thank you so very much!!!!
Very helpful video, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge, it's going to help a lot of people. This is an ancient craft. How could anyone thumbs down this video?
FENETI The people who gave the video a thumbs down are probably sister-lock consultants or wearers
Well, that's sad if that should be the case. Topics like this should bring us together.
FENETI R u n Houston???
No, jasmine ross I am in Germany
FENETI I was thinking the same thing
Thank you so much for sharing this. Now I can do my own instead of paying someone $600-$1000 for these.. Much love you’re the real goat for blessing us with this video..
Beautiful video. Great voice over. Soothing music selection. Gorgeous work. You have a gift
You go Queen....I was like at 1st....I'm not watching this 11+video....But the way you showed your KNOWLEDGE....inspired me to watch more....The way u use YOUR own voice and not the way ALL UA-camr talk n sound....Also u intrigued me to watch more because the music....Very soothing....My channel will be up n going soon....But until then....I'll be watching....YOU GO GIRL.... Did they miss something
I wish I could like this a million times.
Yes me too
I love this lady. Was searching through UA-cam for a vivid video like this but never got it. You are such an amazing person coming out to do this video. Thumbs up girl. Love you to the max. Job perfectly done. You deserve lots of love 💘 💗 💕 ❤ 💖 💓 💘 💗 💕 ❤ 💖 💓 💘 💗 💕 ❤ 💖 💓
Thank you darling for sharing this I really was interested in learning because am doing this soon as I quit my job..A lady who I was looking up to for training refused to show me how it's done😁,she will be shocked to learn that I met an angel here who taught many of us for free.What do I say,you are God sent.Be blessed darling.😘👌🙏
This was one of the most beautiful videos I've ever seen. I'm an overthinker and this was so pleasing to my thoughts that I've always had about how to twist/loc hair (if that makes any sense at all). Everything about this was satisfying: the grid, the parting tool, the flat twists, the 4 point interlocking... My brain feels at rest, lol.
Ms. Katya Bravo👏👏👏 take a bow! This was by far the best tutorial on how to install micro locs. I have never seen it started by hand. You were very detailed with the sections, parting and 4 rotations. I am just seeing this video which says it was uploaded in 2017. I am a new subscriber as of today and will be watch moving forward since I am leaning towards interlocking my hair very soon. I am very interested in viewing your older videos and comparing your present videos to see you and your mom's journey with maintenance, styling etc.
Wow. The patience you have is calming. Blessings
You did an absolutely AMAZING job. It is beautiful watching the care and detail you are paying to your Mom's hair. Thanks for giving women the confidence to do this on their own and not have to be charged outrageous prices to achieve the look they desire.
Wow! You did an awesome job. It looks better than some trained SL consultants. If only your video was out before I got mine done. Brilliant tutorial, very inspirational, thanks for sharing. Your mom has beautiful hair 💁🏿👌🏿👏🏿👸🏾
I wish I saw this video 2 months ago when I attempted to interlock my friends hair..this is the best video I seen yet on UA-cam
Best tutorial on this ever and I really appreciate how you explained creating the sections!
Thank you. That was the hardest thing to find information on when I was doing my research so I wanted to share :)
I agree very professional😇👌
Good job ❤, but how will you take this out
Beauty Smiles87 Thank you. It was definitely hard for me to find information as well when I was researching so I’m glad you found it helpful.
Thanks, this is a very detailed video! I am doing my hair but could not find no info in interlocking.
Thank you sooo much for this DIY video. I have wanted locs again since I had to cut mine 5yrs ago. But with this I can started mines again without paying someone 500.00 to get them started. You have made my day and your Mothers hair looks amazing.
A lot of love went into your mothers locs. Beautiful job.💖
good morning, you did an excellent job with your locs. I can follow your instructions on doing my sister hair. most shows their work very fast so you can't see how they was doing but I can understand most paid for the classes to learn. GREAT JOB!
Glad someone finally did a tutorial on sectioning. I can use this while doing my micro braids.
Used this technique on my daughter's hair she is now over 3years loc'd and there have been no issues. No holes in the locs, no thinning or breaking. Also every loctician and sisterlock loctician I took her to couldn't tell the difference soooo. I will be doing this to my hair next.
Your mom's hair is so luxurious..
Had locks 3xs and nobody has ever done it this way! Love it thanks! If ya in my,please let me know,I'll pay you to do this on my hair.
Bingo!! I've been searching high and low for a video like this! This is awesome and you did an excellent job. Regardless of the name of the locs, this was exactly what I was looking for. Yes, I have been strongly considering sisterlocs, but I'm very competitive and knew that I could achieve the same look myself. I'll keep my $1500 and do my own following your lead. Keep up the great work and forget the naysayers honey because you did that!! It's all about locking natural hair and maintaining it properly..
I want to say THANK YOU. This was such a great video. I learned so much by watching your video. To take the class it is so expensive...thank you queen. I am now officially a subscriber to your channel. There are not alot of people who would have shared without being paid. Oh and I am a nurse. If you need anything. Let me know.
You did An amazing job! I always wondered how this was done. This process requires very intricate work and is very time consuming. You are so talented.
You just installed sisterhood on your mom grid pattern and all. Awesome!!
UA-cam needed this!! So many views but not enough likes! Awesome awesome job, thank you for passing on the knowledge (with great visual) to us DIY folks!
It was my pleasure :) Glad you liked it.
Hard to believe u not a professional or that you have never done this before u r genius 🧡
Excellent job on your mom’s hair. It’s beautiful. You did an amazing explanation on your technique. Thanks for making this video.
Now that was LOVE. beautiful and wonderful work you did for your mother. That's a life giving experience because you poured your energy and goodness into that. Bravo
This is like the best mothers day/birthday gift ever!
Haha...well I'm glad :)
Ah....hair day....what a precious time for mother and daughter. I miss that. Thank you and God bless!
Thank you so much for this video! After years of research I have decided to do my own using your technique. Starting them today!
This is the best tutorial that I have seen so far... Beautiful job and her hair looks nice
Beautiful job! I'm actually about to do microlocs on my hair and I cannot wait! I'm so excited for this journey. Being in med school keeping up with my hair is a challenge, so I figure this is a great option. Thank you for sharing!
Oh yeah I totally understand that. Being in school and having to find a day or two to set aside just for hair is quite an inconvenience. Well I hope all goes well with our install :)
Congratulations on medical school
Hello! This is from six years later. Congratulations on being a doctor!! 🎉🎊 👏 💐 🥳
You did such a beautiful job for your mother. This is extraordinary. Your pacing and explanation, the simplicity of it all, is just beautiful. Thank you for time and effort it took you to make this video. A phenomenal service you've provided for the community. Your mother is so fortunate to have such a generous and gifted daughter. I hope the time you spend together doing her hair brought you even closer than I imagine you already are. Bless you both.
For you not to be a sisterlock loctition you did an AMAZING job seriously, was that your first time doing the interlocking? Amazing just amazing ....
Wow what an awesome compliment. Thank you!! And yes that was my first time trying my hands at interlocking
Katya Sandrine well great job truly
Beautiful and meticulous job. I have to echo what Happily Naptural stated!
Thank you for taking the time to show this process. I was on the fence about restarting my medium diameter sized locs and I am thoroughly convinced I want microlocs!!
Thank you! I finally found out how sister locks are done!
You were very professional as you demonstrated and educated us on the techniques and procedures of installing microlocs
This is a great tutorial! You did such a good job on your mom's hair.
Thank you!! :)
Ive been doing this for years as a natural hair stylist and this is the best video ive seen. Youre an amazing daughter
First time ever seeing is done...I’m in awe. Great work! 👌🏾
God bless u for blessing others that can't afford to get sisterlocks and can do them thereselves. U did a great job on this tutorial.👍
I appreciate that. Thank you
Wow, goood job! Thanks for the links as well. Please provide us with an update to her hair! I LOVE IT
Will do. Thank you!
This is THE best explanation and demonstration of starting locs
