FROM RETWIST TO INTERLOCK | WHICH IS BEST FOR YOU?! | NBN DAY 18 

I interlock for all the reasons you mentioned in this video. Also, too tight too frequent retwists were weakening my locks. With interlocking, I can go months without a touch up, which helped my hair to regain its natural thickness and also allowed dormant hair follicles to regain new life. So, interlock, yeah.

I prefer interlocking as my new growth kept unravelling and wouldn’t lock at all. Loving the interlocking

Team interlock. And it does not thin the lock if done properly. You must know what you're doing though. Her hair looks great!

Her hair looks thicker and stronger with the interlock

I started interlocking because my hair is fine!! My stylist actually recommended it!! I started with 2 strand twist but after the 3 time getting my hair palmed rolled it didn't do my hair any justice! As soon as I would leave the shop my hair would unravel!! I've been locked 4 1/2 years and I LOVE it!! But to each his own!!

I think twisting locs is beautiful. However, for my family & I (with many different textures) I interlock all our hair & it's been great for us for years with no damage. Thanks for the video.

I interlock my sons hair because he was experiencing the same thing your client was experiencing. Now his hair is full and thriving very well

I twist my daughter’s hair during the school year. I interlock during the summer. Twisting makes styling look better IMO. She swims a lot during the summer so we wash more often.

I also have super fine strands but high density, and my hair grows away from the loc. Also I prefer to go 3 months between maintenance. And I work out 5 days a week, so 100% interlocking for me as well.

No lie seeing this video makes me want to interlock.

I am in week 8 of my journey. I started with interlocks because my hair is very fine. I also suffer with seborrheic dermatitis and need to wash my hair often. Interlocking gives me the freedom to do this and still keep my parts neat. So far, I am very happy with the results.

I go to a loctician every 2 months to interlock my hair. I told her up front that I want as little tension on my hair as possible. She styles my hair during the appointment, and I try to keep it in for 3-4 weeks. After I let my locs down, I leave them down till my next appointment. My locs are thickening. I must say that I palm rolled my locs once in between appointments and I was surprised by the length my hair showed. However, I noticed that the trade off was thickness (my locs immediately looked neater and longer but thinner). Since I did that, I get why people palm roll, but I'm trying to have my locs mature with as little manipulation as possible while staying active. Interlocking works for me!

This is encouraging! I just got my first interlock. This was my 2nd maintenance appointment. I had a lot of new growth from 7 weeks of growing. . .I'm looking to have thicker locs! I'm very active so I'm excited to see what my hair is like in 7-8 more weeks! I'm currently at week 15 on this loc journey! I'm loving it! I sweat a lot and had about 1 inch of new growth. I like how my locs are growing down now after my shrinkage period! Yay! Inch by inch! Let's go! ❤

I have changed from retwisting to interlocking. My hair is soft and my twist don’t last, nor does my loose hair grow into the lock. I find a certain freedom with interlocking. I can workout and wash it after... my only concern is that my locks will become super skinny... I asked my stylist to go two way point rotation than the four way.. I do not want my locks super skinny. Can you do a video on the difference with all the rotations and also can you let me know do interlocking goes through the same process as twisting, do it still bud? Thank you

I loooove this!! I've been considering interlocking because I retwist every 3 months and like you said once moisture hits, it's gone!! This video was so helpful!!

My brother has traditional locks that I started and maintain. I started off retwisting then switched to interlocking because his hair just did better with the interlock method. He has had major growth and thickness. I love that he can go months without me doing it. So it’s a win, win !

My hair is very soft. After yrs of trying dred locs I someone to do Interlocs and my hair is doing much better.

Thank you, you have been so instrumental to my Loc journey. Your videos are so informative .Thanks to you and your son I took the leap to the Loc lifestyle and never looked back. (3 years and counting )

I switched to interlocking because I work out a lot and I have scalp issues which requires me to use prescription strength shampoo weekly. All the washing and retwisting started to cause breakage. Interlocking I can treat my scalp and not worry about any unraveling. It's worked great so far & now that my scalp is healing I'm still going to continue interlocking my hair

I love my interlocked locs. I chose to go this route because my hair is wavy and not curly. Also, I easily sweat so I love my locs and despite the myths, my hair is very healthy.

Hi, defo team interlock. Have been doing so since after my first few palm rolls which kept unravelling as my hair is fine. Been interlocking now for 7 yrs. I interlock myself every 5-6 months doing a two point rotation. Interlocking works for me but it's not for everyone and you do have to make sure you do what works best for your hair and make sure the person doing it knows what they are doing.😊

I was ready to cut/comb out my locs because my roots wouldn't stay locked and I didn't know what to do. So, almost 2 years in, I just interlocked last week!!💆🏾‍♀️ I'm excited to see what will happen, but I'm also nervous because my loctician went really close and tight against my scalp. I still want them to be thick and full, so I'm waiting to see what happens. But I'm already happy that the roots will stay together and not keep losing the form. 🖤 Great video!! Her hair is amazing!😍

Just did my first interlock session and so far I like it. I must say it's a different look from a retwist. However with interlocking I find that all my hair gets pulled into their individual loc an my parts are more visible/ neater. With my retwist I was so hesitant to wash and or moisturize my hair bc I was trying to maintain some type of style and it never worked .

I always re introduce interlocking to clients so they can relearn about it. All you hear is bad things about interlocking especially online. Great video!🙌🏾

I've been hesitant to switch to interlocking because I want my locs to remain consistent down the length of the loc, and I don't want them to become compact. I plan to do a 2-point rotation to allow swelling and a more consistent look to palm rolling. I love the look of freshly palm rolled locs, so I'll probably utilize both methods over time. I LOVE NO BREAK NOVEMBER!!!

This is the video I needed to see…her hair is fine just like mine, and I think interlocking with crochet is the way to go for me! Thanks for this!

I get a palm roll normally however my stylist has given a interlock on Locs that are thin. It does help make your locs thicker.

I started with twisting...but,when I was forced to switch locticians,my new loctician said due to the texture of my hair...interlocking would be best...and,though she re-twisted, once at my request...when my style was taken down, I lost the re-twist. Now, after 6 months of new growth...and,seeing this video, I may stick with the interlocking method...although, I do like the look of both methods. Thanks for sharing.

I think I'm going to switch to interloc the start of my second year my hair grows away from my loc as well thank u great video stay loc'D countious blessings✌✌💜💜

Thank you for showing a soft interlock because I normally palm roll my loc’s. However decided to interlock and used a tool... 🤦🏾‍♀️ why did I do that, because I’ve noticed that the hair that is interlocked is not as think as the ends of the rest of my loc’s. Thank you very much for educating us ❤️

Great video! Her hair looks healthy with the interlocking

I started out with braids (March 2018). I have only interlocked because I am a head sweater. I dont sweat without activity but when I'm active the only area I sweat is my head. I don't regret interlocking and I have not seen any damage. The only downside is the initial retwist doesn't look as crisp. However I use zero products with my retight and I know my locs are buildup free.

Thank you for being so realistic and helping inform my decision!

Used to palm roll but switched to interlocking! I prefer to moisturise my hair daily or every other day (aloe juice/ rose water and oil) and found that doing so after palm rolling would cause the hair to unravel so it never felt worth it. I also had similar problems as your client for some of my locks where my new growth was growing too fast

I interlock because I have fine hair. I'm a slow grower as well. I'm 7 months loc'd, getting compliments, but I'm not happy when I look in the mirror. I'm ready to see more growth, thickness, and more style.

I stopped interlocking at a point to see if ,just retwisting would be right for me.😂 oh no! The puffyness is def a NO! Interlocking works fine for me

I would love to interlock but I'm not good at it and I'm not comfortable doing myself. I had someone interlock my hair years ago and I loved the results. Great job on your client's interlock.

I started with comb coils and retwisted for 2 months, but because my hair is soft and thin (made a great fro) I went to interlocking due to my profession and it helped hide my frizz. My husband interlocked me over 2 months ago and I just love the freedom of no retwist.

Interlocking is my preferred method. I tried retwisting in the beginning of my journey and it just wasnt working for all the reasons you mentioned in the video. Would sweat right out in a couple of days. My sides are shaved so I will be starting a new set of locs once they grow in and I will be interlocking too. It's more hassle free in my opinion

I want you to do my hair soooo bad ☹️ You have growing hands.

Considering interlocking. You are so right, my retwist is done as soon as I sweat or shower. I’ve been watching you closely lol.

Looks like interlocking make locks thicker but shorter And twists doesnt make your hairs thicker or what but you keep your lenghts

I was deadly afraid of interlocking. It looked so complicated at first so I tried retwisting. The retwisting did not work me. I have super thick hair that does not want to be twisted. Plus I didnt want to use a ton of product in order for it to “hold”. I workout a lot. Plus I don’t mind the puffiness/new growth. And I only interlock every 3-4 months.

I been having the same problem. I think I’m going to look into interlocking now thanks 😊

I’m 8 months loced and have larger locs around 60. I plan to be more active (hot yoga and martial arts). I sweat from my head and I have scalp issues that causes flakes and scans. My concern is I like the uniformed cylindrical look with palm rolling and neat parts. I’m scared to interlock but for the sake of my scalp health and goals to be free with my work out routine. I’ll need to at least try interlocking out.

I interlock because I have micro locs and it works best. I love the look of both techniques though.

I am a newbie and decided to start my journey with extentions, I found retwisting does not work for me, I do not want to want to use gels, my retwist didn't last without keeping it in a style and since I started my journey after years of being natural and having a TWI, I can't keep my hair bound up, so solution was to softly crochet my newgrowth to train it to lock. then I interlock my roots just to bring in the loose hairs.

Interloc because my hair grows away from my locs. Doing this allows me to pick up all the strays and stays together longer and stops it from breaking.

Been locked for 3years and always experienced my hair coming out my locs at the roots I literally can grip full blown curls smh today I think I’m going to start interlocking

I’m almost a month in on my Loc journey and I interlocked at the root after I put two strand twists in because I sweat a lot and I like to wash my hair twice a week when it’s hot out

Great video. I switched over to interlocking my one year anniversary. I have not looked back and I will be at the two year mark soon. I prefer interlocking over retwisting because I like to wash my hair once’s a week since I am so active. Also my hair does not grow into the lock and although I have a lot of strands my strands are fine.

Love that technique of the three pronged tool along the length of the established health lock (will go over to Etsy to your store to purchase). My hair could probably tolerate that as it is not to tight on my roots where I cannot over-do it. Nice.

I got my starter locks interlocked today!

Thank you so much for this detailed info. I cannot from the root palm roll or interlock my matrix of hair. It used to bother me but my hair simply cannot take too much handling near my scalp. I DO apply moderate finger twists at the base every two months of so.

OMG I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS I WOULD RETWIST WITH PRODUCTS BUT I WOULD GET BUILD UP AND IT WOULD NOT LAST AT ALL UNTIL I START INTERLOCKING I LOVE IT SO MUCH AND MAKES MY HAIR THICKER AND IT DOESN'T COME UNDONE AND I DONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BUILD UP

I interlock and this is my second time. I love it. I sweat alot so twisting doesnt work for me

I’m interlocking because retwisting just doesn’t work for my hair it’s 3c thick but soft and when water touches it it wants to unravel and curl up 🤦🏾 and I don’t have the time or patience to spend 2-3 hrs retwisting my hair after every time I wash it. I have to wash my hair at least once a week as I workout almost everyday and the type of work I do I constantly have to go in dirt lots with dirt flying around and trucks kicking up debris 🤦🏾

I haven't started yet. But I think I'll interlock. It looks easier. I have little children so it would probably be the less stressful way of doing it. I'm waiting for a parting video from the previous video so I can start my locks

I twist because I thought interlocking looked too complex. But now that I realize that my fine strands tend to form flat locks, I wonder if I shouldn't start interlocking ...

Thanks for this video. I love interlocking!

She have the same hair texture. I had the same issues. I usually wash my hair 2 weeks so the retwist would come out. Omg once I changed to interloc I seen a big change my locs. All of the locs that didn't wanna loc instantly loc....idk why it took me so long to interloc

Beautiful .... I’m interlocked .. because My hair is naturally very fine and very corse easily to break .. my locks are super skinny . But my hair is growing.

I’m still trying to decide. Because I like to maintain my own hair and interlocking just seems like too much. But my hair is fine and my new growth hasn’t really locked. It doesn’t bother me because my retwist lasts until my next wash/retwist. But I don’t want my hair to be thin. I’m going to give it more time and if i need to interlock hopefully I’ll find someone I trust.

Thank you so much for doing this video. My hair is fine also. I'm going to try interlocking.

I have braid locs and I interlock to retighten. With interlocking I don't have to use any products, that means less build up for me🤷🏾‍♀️

I interlock but I like the look of retwist better

I love your videos. I have retwisted from I started my locs in June, however, I plan on interloc'ing because I have to retwist too often and plan to start working out soon. My hair also gets hella frizzy and while I have no issues with it on the shaft, it is difficult when the roots are super frizzy because of work and my hair is short so I rarely ever style it.

I love interlocking. My hair isn't hard, it's soft and beautiful (imo) I like the thickened roots look on my hair. I get tons of compliments on how fast my hair looks. However, I do have A LOT of fly aways on my locks. If you reply to this maybe I can send you a picture of what I'm talking about. I think the felting to you is may be the answer but I want to be sure.

Hi DXLYN jus here to say I've been interlocking my pass 2years luv it I'm 3yrs 3months inter🔒'D tanxs for info countious blessings 🤎🤎✌🏾✌🏾4eva🔒'D

Retwist looks nice but definitely gonna unravel when washed I think

I love the interlock look ty for sharing

Listennnnnnn I just learned so much… I NEED the interlocking method the way my hair is set up 🤔

Interlocking looks way better. On my last set of locs I retwisted because I was scared of interlocking because of what I'd heard, but now I am more educated about the matter and know it can be done safely and healthily. I will interlocking my second set of locs!!

I’m hoping to interlock my hair! Looking to debut my baby locs on my channel soon!

I love retwists, I have 4c hair and retwists never stay after 3 days and I’m not active 😭

Hi, back then I was competing in muay thai boxing which was involving getting some strikes on the process... either I couldnt be worried about my hair while a trained dude was trying to knock me out. So I went with interlock and no more worries about the sweat opening up the locks our the hairstyle getting messed up. With interlock it is really instant locking so safest option for a messy fighter with style like me

I interlock but I have micro locs so I almost have to to interlock. I am only about two or three months into my journey and I love it. I went smaller because I wanted the freedom of doing plays and other styles still but my curls were so tight I didn’t look 31 lol I looked 13 so I needed a change.

Hi. Love your work! Been watching your work for awhile! Quick question for you... can you twist after you have interlocked?...

I would love to interlock my own hair been loc'd for 5 years and my roots grow fast and will not loc and are starting to thin and break hopefully I can get some pointers from you wish you were near by I'm in DC love your work

I'm about to interlock my son's hair. He has had them for over a year now and I get tired of his retwist getting puffy at the roots after just a few days.

Thank you for this video my hair is going through this and I need to interlock

I started with comb coils and like your client I switched to interlocking. I have about the same growth. I like the way the interlocked portion looks, to me it looks nicer than the budding portion. The budding section is fat and frizzy. It looks like using your tool makes for a much neater looking loc while it goes through the budding process. Is that what some use the tool for? A neater look “during” the budding stage? Like I mentioned I like the interloc’d look best. I’m sorry my loctician didn’t start Interlocing from the beginning.

Team Interlock I have soft hair and if I palm roll my edges are completely undone in about 3 - 4 days so I get better results this way.

Hey girl! You have blessed hands most def! Can we get a video or tut on how to do soft interlocking? I'm thinking thinking of interlocking at my 2 yr mark in December!🥴😜😜

wait, ive never seen that crochet pick tool before so you just blew my mind. what is it? is there a video on it?

I thought about it but my first loctician (she moved) didn't recommend it. I would like to go longer between appointments and feel that method would be better. My second loctician (she moved as well) didn't do it. Now I'm searching for another loctician in my area. I don't want to be forced/have to learn to retwist my own hair.

I love retwist but my hair type live the interlocking..my hair loc and new growth does so much better with interlocking

I have alot of strands but each individual one is fine as well. I also don't like to retwist often either. I did a retwist using only oil and water last night and I love it so far. Less itching and my scalp is able to breath. 💚💚 P.S. I have seen interlocking thin so many locs on people I know. Scares me so I've never done it.

I interlock it allows my to wet my hair anytime and parts look better on me I just love locs

I understand the pain from interlock I rather have my dreads retwist but I have soft fluffy hair the back and the sides grow into the dreads but on the top of my head it grows away from my locs

Hi i have a question my hair is natural how do i grow bck my edges or make them thicker in the front and in the nape area.

How do u feel about braid locs I started my locs this month with braids locs

I do interlock my own hair because i work out alot and i have got flashes and twisting was not lasting

I started my Locs June 22 and Started interlocking 3 weeks later because I didn’t like the puffy roots look and I wanted to go longer without getting Re twist.

I retwist mine but I started doing interlocks on my youngest daughters hair. She’s really active and hates sitting under the dryer so I can’t retwist it. Plus it’ll come undone within an hour with how much she jumps around.

Thanks great info.

Great video.. I would love a video on interlocking on long locs.

I wish you lived in Sacramento. I would go to you in a heartbeat just to have my locs styled by you.

I have hair similar to your client, I have been loc 10 months, I love my lox’s; however the ends are very thin. Just looking at all the different tutorials it seems that free forming seems to be the best if you want thicker locs I am afraid to interlocking but watching you do your clients hair got me thinking. Can you give me some advice should I use the loc tool to make the ends thicker or just be patient and wait for my locs to mature. Pls help

I like the interlocking method
