How To | DIY Microlocs Installation 

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. ❤️🔥

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!!!

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

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🥰😊

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.

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!

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.

There is only one other video that shows how to install. You are sent from heaven❤️

This made me miss my mom so much ❤️ your mother is beautiful!

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

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!💯💯💯

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.

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

You just saved me $600 I appreciate you queen!

Best tutorial on this ever and I really appreciate how you explained creating the sections!

I agree that this is the best tutorial. Your Mom is blessed to have a daughter like you! Blessings x

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. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I’m sure all those dislikes came from professionals, because I see absolutely nothing bad about this. 💙💙💙

I can only echo everyone else by saying "You did a fantastic job!." It looks wonderful 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

thank you for FREELY giving this information

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.👏🏽

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.

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!!!

Best tutorial ever on RU-vid, 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.

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!!!

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

I wish I could like this a million times.

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...

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.

RU-vid 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!

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. 😍😘😘😘😘🥂🍾

Your mother is beautiful! She reminds me of my mother and aunts lol. A calm grace.

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,

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 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. ❤

Clear concise instructions, with important informational tips, and no costly tools recommended. You did a good job young lady, thank you.

Your mom's hair is so luxurious..

Beautiful video. Great voice over. Soothing music selection. Gorgeous work. You have a gift

This is the best instructional video I have ever seen..No shenanigans!

This is like the best mothers day/birthday gift ever!

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.

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 💁🏿👌🏿👏🏿👸🏾

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!

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.

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!

A lot of love went into your mothers locs. Beautiful job.💖

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.

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..

Wow. The patience you have is calming. Blessings

Glad someone finally did a tutorial on sectioning. I can use this while doing my micro braids.

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!

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.

Wow. I can’t believe you aren’t a loctician. You did amazing work!

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!!!

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.

Thank you soooo much for this video. Most people have only talked about micro locs and have not shown how to actually start them.

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 ....

My God thats a lot of work

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

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.

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.

Excellent job on your mom’s hair. It’s beautiful. You did an amazing explanation on your technique. Thanks for making this video.

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.

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!

I see in the description you installed them on yourself as well? Wow! I tried a sisterloc or microloc on myself and it was no good. I will study this tutorial and try again. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. It looks amazing!

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'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.

I've only found one video of this method besides your && I want to Thank you so much !!! Especially for the parting explanation !! Bless you !! ❤ So happy I found this.

Wow you did a really good job!!!

oh my you're the best instructor,,, I'm five years interlock and no other video yet explain so simply eloquent as yours...

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.👍

Thank you! I finally found out how sister locks are done!

Black Girl Magic!!!

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 RU-vid

You were very professional as you demonstrated and educated us on the techniques and procedures of installing microlocs

First time ever seeing is done...I’m in awe. Great work! 👌🏾

I’m speechless! This was phenomenal!!!!

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!!

So nice that you could do this for your Mom. Must have been a special bonding time. Congrats!

You did an awesome job executing and explaining.

This is a great tutorial! You did such a good job on your mom's hair.

This is the best tutorial that I have seen so far... Beautiful job and her hair looks nice

Now i feel that I have the confidence to do my own micro locs by watching your videos. Thankyou so so much for your very informative videos.

Your mom looks so youthful and beautiful ❤

After all your work I wish you’d have shown the frame of your finished work longer and to see your Mom’s pleased face at what skill her child has 🙂

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..

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!

Wow, goood job! Thanks for the links as well. Please provide us with an update to her hair! I LOVE IT

This is the best video I’ve found to explain the process. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this! It looks fantastic

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

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.😘👌🙏

Okay, I'm late to this video (2019- the end of it, at that) but this is impressive. Your work was so neat and meticulous and your mom's hair is long and thick. Are you sure you're not a loctician? You should be.

You are AWESOME! loved every moment of this video! After my consultation and starter locs, i've decided that I cant finance this hairstyle and will be installing them myself. Just trying to find the time! So quick question, was it difficult to do your own, and did it take the same amount of time as your moms, 1 week?

Hard to believe u not a professional or that you have never done this before u r genius 🧡

I am now in the stages of researching and this video has helped me ALOT .. thank you Queen 👑 🙏🏽
