    I've been loc'd for almost 10 years (slightly bigger than sisterlocs), my hair is down to my booty, and I'm SO ready for something new. Your video is just what I needed to see. Your locs look great, and I love the thickness. Combining my locs will be my new shelter-in-place activity.

    I am shocked 😮. I thought you would have made them slightly bigger, but you went from like 480 to 144. I am so proud of you for sticking with your gut 👏🏾. It truly only matters what you want and how you feel about having larger locs. The thing about having a UA-cam channel, followers feel they get to give an opinion about someone else’s life when they can’t and don’t make good choices for themselves. Don’t let go of your power or allow people to think they have power in the decision you make for your life. New adventures usually give us all the jitters or make us nervous. As long as you know in your heart this is what you want, we the followers of your channel will be ok. People come in your life and people leave your life. Everything will not please everyone. God bless you and your family. Stay safe out here. You are the best version of you at this point in time of your life continue to make you happy.

It’s a lot of work, combining them will take less time now. If I had to do it all over again I would have gotten micro locs, or smaller traditional locs.

    Hi Lavinia your locs are lovely. The most important thing is you're happy with the decision and the end result. I started with SLs 5 and a half years ago. If/when I get fed up I plan to combine to a bigger and bigger sizing, with the end result of freeforming ultimately. I liked the idea of giving myself the option to go thicker and thicker rather than just cut them off. That's the plan anyways xxx

  • @lisahobbs2312

    I originally wanted sister locs but discovered they were pricey so I went with the traditional locs for four years and found that the longer they get it can become a little weighty so now I'm nine months into my sister locs and I'm loving it. The picture here is with me with the traditional locs. I believe all locs are beautiful.

    I'm all for people doing what's best for them. Most of the people in the comments watch your videos for Sisterlocks so it would follow that many of them would not "approve" of this new direction. I wouldnt take the feedback in the comments to heart and defintely not when considering if you will keep the braids or decide to unravel them again. If its any consolation what your locs look like right now isnt quite what they'll be (in terms of volume and fullness) later on down the road. In a way you sort of have starter locs again that will grow and swell (a tad) in size. I expect that they will be fuller down the road. Im along for the ride either direction! ❤️

    So Lavenia.... it looks weird to me because I've been following you since my SL journey 2 years ago-- you and Deviny were my inspiration to take the leap. But I love your courage and transparency and I commend your bravery. Will you be going to Kady or Simone for reties?
    I too have thought about combining because I follow Yannie and I just love the thicker locs. But I was afraid of how my fine hair would tolerate the weight of the thicker locks that's why I went the SL route. If I had researched more I would've done micros.
    One thing I do love about larger locs is the longer time between reties... which allows for thicker roots and thicker hair. This every 4-6 weeks is ridiculous... I stretch out mine to 2 months or more. For now, I'm holding onto my SLs (although my self-reties are annoying as hell!!) If I do combine I would do 2 locs at a time (I love Feneti's microlocs).
    I cant wait to see your progress on this new journey.
    Who knows I may join you soon.

I do not want to find another Loctician b/c finding one I trust is hard to do, esp when looking at their work & seeing their work isn’t consistent🤦🏾‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️, idk, it’s just a lot. I’m a pharmacy technician & my schedule is 😜 on regular day, with this COVID-19 it’s beyond crazy. TBH I’m all about self care & with this 2nd sisterlock establishment, I promised myself I would be more in-tune with my locks & not let someone else have complete control! This time right here is a prime example b/c not knowing how to reti your locs whether traditional or sisterlocks can become an issue esp If you were already behind schedule on your reti, ya know! What’s the tool you was using to combine at the end? So will you maintain them or go to someone?

    I think you'll be happy. Traditional locs can be versatile and fun, but a little easier to maintain. I wanted to start with sister locs, but I was intimidated by the cost, and I hated the idea that should something happen in the world (or my finances) I wouldn't be able to manage them myself. I went with the traditional size and I LOVE them. I can't wait for them to grow out a little more so I can get an even bob cut. I already have bangs, but I'm so excited by the possibilities.

    Omg! First time watching your videos. I must say this looks better on you than the skinny sisterlocs. Mine are still baby, driving me nuts but loving them through it lol! My hair is so fine they are struggling to lock!
    Good move girl! You wear it well!

    Your introduction into the loc community story is mine as well. I'm a little over 2 years sisterlocked and have enjoyed it but we are on the same page. I had been thinking off and on about into combining into larger microlocs and the lock down and closing of salons are pretty much sealing the deal because I'm not the greatest in doing hair but will rise to the challenge if need be (to a certain point). Which brings me to your other comment about being "overwhelmed" . I believe I get where you are coming from. i personally don't want to have to self maintain SLs but believe less would be doable. Not to mention cheaper. When my loctician opens back up, I'm going to really start asking questions. Also I want to be able to have to do maintenance roughly every 2 months. Your hair is lovely and I like I'm sure many others are waiting for your Q & A video.

    Oh wow you did a great job, they're still gorgeous. I haven't been to Kadi in over a year now. Last summer/fall I combined the front but still didn't want to maintain all the locs in the back, so I combined those, too. I didn't like the look so I took them all out, and in October began actually picking out my SLs. It wasn't a quarter as hard as I imagined it would be. I've been very sporadic at it but am almost done. I considered being loose natural for a while, but I know as soon as I can, I'm getting traditional locs!

    Girl, I LOVE them! I've been following your beautiful hair journey since almost the beginning and just been so inspired by you! I have interlocs that are about this size or a tad smaller (I'm currently at 18 months so maybe they'll look like yours when I'm 3 years in). I admire that you thought about it extensively and went for something that you love. These are beautiful - can't wait to see how they develop and how you rock them!

    Can you explain what you meant by you started to feel overwhelmed? Asking because I have been considering getting sister locks but was concerned if it would be too much to maintain it for the long haul. Is that what you meant?

    I am certainly thinking of other options…I am going into my 3rd year with sis locs…due to my fine soft strands I continue to worry if sis locs are to small to be strong enough to endure the interlocking. I just don’t feel the freedom I had with my traditional locs (prior to this set of sis locs). After 2yrs of being sis loc’d i do not trust interlocking method for my hair. However, it’s only been 2 yrs with 1 yr of being fully loc’d…I am have decided to give it more time meanwhile just studying other options…
    Your locs are beautiful combined! I am new to your channel and this is my video . I have subscribed and looking forward to viewing more as well as following your loc journey.
    Peace Queen✌🏽

  • @leeceyleece2406
    @leeceyleece2406 4 роки тому +4

    I think your locs look really nice, they’re bigger but not significantly so, you don’t look massively different actually.
    I’m surprised you did it and really curious about why you did it but I actually can’t imagine having the patience or skill that you did to do your own reties. That would overwhelm me and I don’t think I’d be able to keep it up.
    I love the femininity and versatility of Sisterlocks, they’re the only locs I would consider because I wouldn’t say I’m an actual loc lover - but these do look great on you.
    And I admire your conviction to do what feels right to you - my goodness how your hair has grown though 🙌🏿❤️
    Take care and stay blessed.

    I’ve been combining mine for a while now two locs I twist them because they too small didn’t want to rely on anyone to do my hair and reduce my self retie I love them but they’re not big enough I’m going to combine the again so I’ll have 4 locs in one now yes I love them a lot more now you did a great job two year into my journey

  • @TheRellyroo7
    @TheRellyroo7 4 роки тому

    Your locs look great! I've been locd for 16 months now and totally felt the same. Overwhelmed. I've started combining mine too. Glad I'm not the only one, because I was feeling real guilty for a while.

  • @rochelle81

    I like it for the simple fact that you chose to do it. I have sisterlocks and have had them combined, not purposely. Someone took it upon themselves to combine almost my whole head. I'm just now enjoying the turn out and that's been Two years ago since that happened. I been locked for 3 years now. So enjoy

    I LOVE IT! I have interlocks that are the size of smaller traditional locs and it's so versatile. I was afraid of sisterlocks because when I was loose natural, my hair around the edges was always so finicky but I didnt want the look of thicker locs. I'm excited to see what this new journey brings you! I'm so in love with this "new" set!

    I am considering combining my locks. Like you I want my locks a little thicker. First I wanted to research if it could be done. Thanks. Now I must find the right person to combine my locks. Now I know how to express what I want and what the need to do.

  • @janayg0916
    @janayg0916 3 роки тому

    I’m so glad I came across your video. I’ve had my sisterlocks for 9.5yrs and I’ve been contemplating changing my locs or cutting them off completely for at least 3yrs. But this past Sunday, I had a moment of thought and just decided to combine my babies. It’s been a long road but with everything that’s going on (work and going to school-all virtually) I didn’t have the time to self retighten. I’ve been retightening myself since 2.5yrs in. I had a moment of sadness on Sunday but I’m actually excited for fuller locs.

  • @WhatEverMan73

    I installed my braidlocs about 10yrs ago and they were small. I have cut them 2x. I combined my locs about a year ago because I was tired of sitting for 3+hrs during interlocking sessions and the cost of $75-100 every 6 weeks at the shop. Yes, I lost some length but like I said I've cut them twice and now they are longer than before I cut them lol. I didn't seal the ends like you did and some of them have unravelled which gives them a different look😘 I no longer interlock, I palm roll, (no clips or heat), every 3-4 month's with just water after washing, it takes me about an hour or so. I love the LOW low maintenance. I've always loved my locs but now it's just easier to maintain them myself.

  • @melbelloracle
    @melbelloracle 4 роки тому +4

    I feel like they are still Sisterlocks even if you combine them. You still paid for them and had them installed a certain way. Combining them doesn’t change what they are. I mean, if you want to call them something else that’s fine, I just don’t think you should feel like you have to stop calling them Sisterlocks. I may need to combine some of the front ones because I’m not comfortable with how few strands of hair are holding each one in place. It’s nice to know I have this option. Thanks for showing us! 😊 Oh, and they look beautiful! 🤗

  • @ongoingsky9347
    @ongoingsky9347 4 роки тому +1

    I know some girls who have sisterlocks and they feel overwhelmed with retie themselves but they don't want to cut off their locs so I'm gonna show them your video. I think they'll like this alternative.

    I stumbled across your channel not too long ago and really loved your sisterlocks. They really did look good on you! Now that you’ve combined, I can’t be mad at you either 😂. I know the feeling. I am 10 months into my second micro loc journey and I’ve already started combining a few of mine because the hair around the perimeter of my head is thin and I know the locs won’t get any thicker. As long as you’re happy that’s all that matters!

  • @litebright1720
    @litebright1720 4 роки тому +2

    I love it!!! I can’t lie I’ve thought about combining later in my journey too! But mine are kind of on the thicker side already for SL so not sure. But it’s adorable! Do you plan to crochet them together?

  • @lanahinds
    @lanahinds 4 роки тому +1

  • @michellem7388
    @michellem7388 4 роки тому +1

    I love them. And I think you did a great job! Very meticulous. I have been wanting to combine mine as well for about 6 months, and the current situation with salons being closed has really confirmed my desire to do so. I am too overwhelmed with the number of locs I have to self maintain and really want something I can maintain myself when I need to. A lot of people are going to be in a bind if they can’t see retighten and salons are closed for months. What is everyone going to do? And when salons re-open how will stylists ever get caught up? Everyone will be overdue. Will prices be hiked up even more? So many questions! lol. But in short, I think you did a great job and I’m looking forward to this next part of your loc journey.

    I actually really like it. I did like the fullness of the sisterlocks better, but this is still really pretty and I kind of want to combine mine now. I like my sisterlocks, but I don’t think I thought about how small they’d actually be. I wanted more than the average traditional locs, but not this small. Didn’t realize that until I was about a year in. Your size is perfect and was exactly what I was picturing. So thank you for this video!

    • @25shala

      She can interlock them she just have to make sure her new grown this enough to pull then through the first time and then she should not have problems with interlocking after that.

      Yes she can. This is the size of my own interlocks and I have no problems using the smallest size Nayoo interlock tool. I originally wanted Sisterlocks but knew I wouldn't be able to keep up with the time and cost investment required, so I started off with 2 strand twists and continued maintaining with interlocking.

    I really liked your sisterlocks bc of the volume-but I've been thinking about combining my locks bc I'm not as big a fan of volume *personally.* If you aren't either, then I'm happy for you!
    The only reason I haven't combined my locks is because I want my locks for at least a year before changing them. It's been 11 months, so we shall see! I also think I like the look of long sisterlocks better
