I've noticed if you start with looser braids they'll disappear faster. It gives them room to expand, shrink and loc

@NaturallyMotivatedLady 5 лет назад

I think there is some truth to that. The looser the braid, the more room it has to shrink, get frizzy & expand.

@yootoob2 5 лет назад

I figured that out after a year....

@vaelofhearts2418 2 года назад

That’s how mine were. They weren’t very tight at all and locked in 9 months

@SDavis-in2gt 4 года назад

I started my locs 4 years ago with braids. You can still see the braid at the end but not as clear as when I first started. Now it just looks more like matured locs but , I guess since it is my hair and I KNOW I started with braids, that I know what I see when I look at them. But I love my braidlocs.

@NaturallyMotivatedLady 4 года назад

Yes, it definitely takes a while for some of our braid patterns to fully disappear. 😊

@fanchonjackson8515 5 лет назад

I started my daughters with braids. The braid pattern is seen in a few braids, but not on most. I just wrap her hair that comes out around. Shes 2 years in. She has 4c hair and i started with tight braids. (She wore beads her first 6 months.

@christengardner4780 4 года назад

Thank you for this. I have 4c hair and the I started a week ago but my roots are fuzzy and look kinda insane

@thehealinggarden7850 2 года назад

My son is 2 and I want to do the braid locs with him his hair type is 3A/3B I’ve tryed freeform with him and it only made 6 locs the rest of his hair wouldn’t loc for some reason.

@mrzo4332 4 года назад

Like you said it varies.... My braid pattern has totally disappeared...at 9 months.... I'm now enjoying the journey and i know they will fill out.... Thanks

@DeJa2001 5 лет назад

I'm so glad I didn't start my locs with braid locs. I actually started my with twists and I just interlock me new growth. Most of my locs don't look like twists anymore and there are very few of where you still could see the pattern😊

@robertpowell2247 2 года назад

That’s how I started. It Went away after about 2 years completely

@rainthomps694 5 лет назад

I think the tightness of the braid also makes a difference. Most of mine were braided extremely tight and they haven't changed at all. EXTREMELY thin. I have a few braids that are looser that have swelled and the lock pattern is completley gone. I'm 10 months in. Also, at least a third of my locs have sealed at the ends with the super skinny braid. I tried to interlock a few but for some reason that made them look even thinner!

@NaturallyMotivatedLady 5 лет назад

You make a very good point! I agree that the tightness of the braid makes a difference. I didn't braid tightly at the root, but I braided the length of the braid pretty tight. Maybe the hair had no room to expand.

@cynthiaholland13 4 дня назад

This would be ideal for me because I won't mine to stay small

@janetofshegatherswellness5403 5 лет назад

Shrinkage is crazy. I have no idea why I thought my locs wouldn’t shrink lol I feel like I have more shrinkage now than as a loose natural. I’m 2 yrs 6 mths in. 👉🏽 loc update coming soon on GatHouse Fitness channel 👈🏽

@igotmail95 5 лет назад

I started my locs with braidlocs too, and it did take like year to transform. Just at neckl length and still dealing with shrinkage because of my texture. Also, your hair is very nice and healthy, can't wait to get that hang time.

I started mine with braidlocs. My hair is super baby fine and I tried twists which literally unraveled the very next day so my braidlocs lasted a month so far and they look so beautiful. I can't wait until they mature. I don't know which method to use to retwist or retie them. I'm not really worried about the braid pattern so much as I kind of like it

@stephanieneal7633 2 года назад

But do you braid the hair all the way down or leave some out,?

@kirabuckner4240 Год назад

Im doing the same my hair isn’t super fine in my opinion butttt I started with coils and they just fell apart same with twists so 😂😂 now I’m trying braids

It's always nice to see different locking styles. As labor intensive as interlocking is, Interlocking seems to be the better method for locks maturing faster than Braidlocks. Thank you as always.

@ondropeters504 3 года назад

Im almost 4 mounths in i started with 4 years growth i keep wetting my hair so it has a lot of frizz and it helps the pattern go away

@Tomekayf 5 лет назад

I started with almost waist-length hair but I did mini-twists instead of braids. I’m only 6 months in and at this point, I am seriously thinking about taking down the remaining twists and rolling them or...dare I say it, interlocking. I’m just not liking the twisted ends and with my length, they’ll be there for eons! I need to have a video call with you, stat, lol! I’m so serious! Thanks for sharing your journey! You’re my inspiration!

@thegreenplantern3033 2 года назад

Well let me take mines down…. I think two stand twist will be for me. I like the instant look but i also would like the “full look”. Great video!

@fatimamanneh9432 5 лет назад

I started my braidlocs on 6 inches of hair 4 months ago my pattern is still noticeable given the length of my hair I am thinking it will disappear in the next 7 to 8 months I love my braidlocs interlocking the roots is so easy I don’t have to retwist like most do when they start their locs with twists or coils

@pamariesmith677 5 лет назад

Why did you let you braids grow out so long before you interlocked them? I love how you took them to the next level and I’m starting my journey soon.

@NaturallyMotivatedLady 5 лет назад

I had no intention of ever removing the braids from my locs. The braids that I started with just happened to be taking longer than most to look like locs, so I decided to speed up the process by changing them to interlocks.

@crystalcreationscole7274 5 лет назад

@sointroverted 3 года назад

I didn't know about braiding loosely, now I have to go through my hair again...

@kimberlyskrobol9167 5 лет назад

I think it also depends on the texture of your hair, mine is very silky 3a/3b and i can tell the braid pattern is going to be here forever. but with silky hair starting with twists is impossible and interlocks slip out, so braids it is! I will either eventually snip the braid part or convert them like you did if I can find that much patience ;o) !!

@slimiestvillian 3 года назад

How long did it take for the lines to disappear

@kimberlyskrobol9167 3 года назад

@@slimiestvillian they never did go away! Snipping was the only option for me. I think if you make the braids very loose, they have a better chance. The kinkier your hair, the better the chance they will convert. My hair is very silky 3b and always just looked like braids. In fact, 3 years later I could still undo the braids just like I had done them yesterday!

@kimberlyskrobol9167 Год назад

@@KiyXVI if it is soft but kinky, perhaps either method will work, I think the silky hair types (very shiny naturally and hard to hold a braid) have the most trouble. Not a professional, just my silky haired experience ;)

@wesleyanne2007 5 лет назад

I started my braidlocs in 2015. In 2018, I cut the remaining braided parts off because I was tired of seeing them... lol

@LongLiveChino 3 года назад

Braidlocs are best for wavy and straight hair texture because our hair isnt as tight our shit gets frizzy and wraps around the braids

@jkyoung7801 5 лет назад

I think braiding the hair loosely is better because the strands can become intertwined easier and looks more like a loc as it ages.

@dorothygotay8520 11 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for that great idea you can just braid loose half way down and interlock the rest great great idea wow. Even if someone knotless braided it for me I’ll just let them braid half way. Making sure the part to hair ratio is on point. Yah bless you and thanks again.

@dannygentry6988 4 года назад

I just started my daughter using braid locs because of her hair texture. Nothing else would hold and the interlock method, well since she is 14 i wanted to make sure the easiest takedown was possible incase she changed her mind at the end.. if she gets too far into her journey i will just wrap them with a natural braid hair to help blend the braid if possible

@mikelantern148 2 года назад

I prefer the braided locs. It doesn’t unravel and it locs faster than the twists. If you’re a starter, or beginner with short hair, I’ll recommend the braided locs. Can’t call twists locs. lol

@celesteevans2850 4 года назад

@truthseeker3376 4 года назад

@@yikesclear Good to hear, I just thought of starting mine like that

@SNUPE_FOXX92 4 года назад

Yes! With looser textures this is awesome because the base is more secure and won’t come out as fast when you wash them, also two strand twists tend to loc faster and look more like locs faster than braid locs do.

@Bored817 3 года назад

Anyone... do you think you can achieve a full look with starting with braids.. or is it better to do the two strains twist ??

@vanessashaw6912 3 года назад

I have just finished my braids and though I love them I was thinking of adding some wrapping hair extensions. I've already added a very small amount to the ends of my braids. When I say small I mean one single light weight piece. Not the kind where you feed in three pieces while braiding down. My concern is will adding a wrap put too much stress on my braids...even a small amount? Should I just leave them alone.

@Amarachi5 3 года назад

Is it possible to have braidlocs where the braid pattern will never dissapear if you only do interlocking for the roots?

It seems that the braid pattern disappears a lot quicker when braidlocs are started on shorter hair. But there is really no way to predict exactly when the pattern disappears. It depends on so many factors, like your hair texture, maintenance, ect.

@NaturallyMotivatedLady 4 года назад

They are all different. Locs come in a variety of sizes and can be started with many different methods. Braidlocs are locs started with 3 strand braids. I talk about it in some of my other RU-vid videos. I also discuss 8 different methods to start locs in my newly released book, LIFE LESSONS & LOCS.😊 www.amazon.com/dp/B08C2BGWJ2
