I show you how to interlock your own hair in this loc video. I started my locs with small box braids, and maintain them via interlocking. I installed my braidlocs and interlocks, and self maintain. I have tried the 2 point rotation, 3 point rotation, and 4 point rotation. In this video I explain 3 additional reasons why I use the 2 point interlocking method. I also address how to deal with loose hairs around the locs or hair that grows away from the loc.
Check out the video below to find out some of the myths & truths of interlocking.

This is the most in-depth video on interlocking that I've seen on youtube. I think i'm ready to interlock my hair for the first time tomorrow...

@kraxykam7242 4 года назад

How did it go?

@lakudzala195 4 года назад

Kraxy Kam not bad at all. The interlocking was not too difficult but I didn’t use any kind of locking gel so after a few weeks the frizz was crazy. Took around 12 hours to do my whole head

@Blkbeautee 4 года назад

I was wondering about holes in my locs. NOW, I know how to repair them. I use a 4 point rotation but I will try the 2 point rotation. Your hair grows amazingly fast.

@NaturallyMotivatedLady 4 года назад

Thanks! 😊 The same concept can be applied to the 4 point rotation if that is the rotation you prefer. The key is just having a system to not go through the same hole back to back when retightening. Thanks so much for watching! I hope this helps. Btw...you can probably do a search to find methods of repairing holes that may already be in your locs.

I think I am making it harder in my head! 😳 in my mind as I start interloc-ing I will gain a better grasp of how it works.

@NaturallyMotivatedLady 4 года назад

I understand. You have to do what works for your hair. When you have a moment to check it out, here is the video where I explain how I took down my braids and interlocked the length of each loc. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uiKc2EKvi9w.html

Hi new subby from the UK 🇬🇧 here.I did not subscribe previously as you had braid locs and I thought you had WAY more locs than 193 didn’t think there would not be any similarities. Boy I was wrong I have 180 ish I’m 4 months in and having watched a few more videos I find you extremely informative. Your hair looks healthy & amazing hope I can achieve that for mine too. Does it matter if you switch sides that you come from? Also how do you fix holes that occur? Many thanks 🙏🏾 😊

@NaturallyMotivatedLady 4 года назад

Thanks! 😊 In my experience, there has been no noticeable difference between starting from the left or the right. Since I interlock in a way to avoid holes, it has not been a problem for me. But I'm sure if you do a RU-vid search for "how to repair holes in locs", there are a few good videos to learn from. Thanks so much for watching!

@rrmosley1 3 года назад

Wow! Looking at your Locs just motivated me! Your Locs look so healthy and well maintained. I have length. But they don’t have a shape. I ponder trimming.

I just started my braidlocs. I’m so excited. Do you remember if you sprayed anything on your hair in the beginning to help it loc or tangle? Also, because my hair is soft and curly my ends are curling up, should I do anything to help keeping them from locking up in a “bump”? Love your hair and the information you share. Blessings!

@NaturallyMotivatedLady 3 года назад

Thanks! 😊 I apologize for missing your message. I washed it often (at least once a week) to help it along. As for keeping your locs from bunching, you may want to braid and band when you wash it.

@Soulflyy992 3 года назад

How do you avoid knots at your roots when interlocking ?

@taunyamoss2007 4 года назад

How do you make sure you don't go through the same direction back to back? Do you go from the RIGHT to top and then in five weeks for your next retightening go from the LEFT then top? I hope my question makes sense...

@ellzbellz08 4 года назад

Just always end on the top and always start at the side.

@jaleesabyrd1870 4 года назад

I noticed on another one of your videos you said you have 193 locs, I have 183 starter braidlocs myself. So do you consider yours micro-locs or sisterlocks? Also love your videos, very informative 😊

@NaturallyMotivatedLady 4 года назад

Thanks! Since I started my locs with braids, I usually call them braidlocs or interlocks. Technically, I guess they could also be called microlocs or just small locs. However, since they were not done by a sisterlocks technician, and do not have the sisterlocks grid, and barely have half as many locs as sisterlocks, I do not call them sisterlocks. Thanks so much for watching! 🥰

@vanessashaw5365 3 года назад

For me the most important thing is having a thicker loc overall and for my sides which are thinner and more fragile I think a three point rotation may work better. Your thoughts?

@Edefrem 3 года назад

Hello! I have heard that 2 point rotations lead to a more "flat" locs as opposed to a 4 point rotation that leads to a more cylindrical loc. Can you share your experience with this?

@friendliee 2 года назад

no ! 😡🤷🏽‍♀️

@hawtnsweet 2 года назад

That would be a 3 point rotation you heard about, not 2. The 3 point gives a shape similar to a braid.

@cecileturner450 4 года назад

Ms Naturally Motivated Lady your locs are beautiful. I love your detailed tutorial about using the two strand method. I've just begun my journey however my loctician insists on using methods that I am uncomfortable with. So I am now on my own. Have you ever had to combine your locks? What method did you use. What is your best advice to practice for healthy locs. Thank you.

@NaturallyMotivatedLady 3 года назад

Thanks! 😊 No, I have never had to combine any of my locs. I have the same number I started with. One of the best tips is to be consistent with your maintenance. Learn what works for your hair and stick to your routine.

thanks for all of your awesome tips and videos! I have been doing the 4 point rotation for about 1 1/2 yrs and am considering moving to 2 point to allow shaft to swell a bit more (and to not take FOREVER to retighten ;), did you notice a visible difference btwn the 2 and 4 points? can you look at a loc and tell "this it the moment i switched from 4 to 2 points"? I'm wondering if there will be a transition line permanently on the locs. Thanks!

@kraxykam7242 4 года назад

I was wondering the same thing

@kimberlyskrobol9167 4 года назад

So I tried the 2 point rotation a few weeks ago and it was a total disaster!! Lots of loops and gaps. My hair is a very fine soft 3B texture so I think I need the structure of the 4 point rotation. Also it didn’t save me Time or feel faster at all. In fact I have to go back in to fix a bunch. I think her texture is coilyer than mine and that makes a huge difference. Consider your texture above all else. Needless to say, I’m going back to my trusted pattern
