INTERLOCKING!! 2 Point Rotation. How I do it and what I use. |interlocking |micro locs |braidlocs 

Will go to Walmart and get me the yarn tool and make an appointment with myself to get the job done. Thanks for showing me.

No fr because wtf like you don’t even shampoo my hair that gets me everytime . Math not mathing for me no more

Yessss!! Thank you. I’ll be sure to do a video for the tool. It’s really easy to do.

Thank you for this video. It was very informative.

Awwwww…..thank you!! I always wanted to be a hair stylist but never liked doing other people’s hair! 🤣🤣

Thank you. It really is not hard. Once you get the hang of it and aren’t afraid of mistakes you’re good.

Thank you!! I love traditional locs but these small ones are doing it for me right now. Enjoy your journey. 😉

Yay!! I’m glad you liked the video! Thanks for watching ☺️

Yes!! That’s partly why I started doing my own. That and to save that coin. Lol

Yay!! I’m glad it worked for you

Yay!!! I’m glad this video helped you!! 😊

Thank you!! 🥰

You are so welcome! I’m glad it helped you

Thank you!! You can do this. Just be patient with yourself. There’s no rush. It’s ok to make mistakes. You will learn and get better and better the more you do it! Good luck :)

Lol. Thanks.

Thank youuu!! 🥰🥰🥰. Thanks for watching.

I’ve definitely done that a time 2 myself! Lol

Absolutely! Thank you

Time to call them brotherlocs

Hahaha!! You may be right. Lol

THANK YOU!! 🥰

Thank you!!

Thank you!! Thanks for watching!

Thank you for the very clear instructions, please clarify. Am i putting the needle in the same hole? For EX, (1)starting at the right & ending on the left for(2)am I then entering from the left and exiting on the right? I was stopping there, I though those were 2 points, please help Thanks

So you are going in from North to South or South to North than east to west or west to east. One point is North to South and point 2 is East to west. Just be sure you are going in a criss cross pattern. I hope that makes sense.

You will do just fine. I was nervous to push it to 8 weeks at first too. Now my crazy self is thinking about 10 weeks! Ain’t happening though. Lol.

Thanks!!

You’re welcome!

Yay!! I’m glad. You’re welcome!

You’re welcome!

You’re welcome! I’m glad you found it helpful.

Yep!! I made it about half the original size. It’s the best. I’ve tried quite a few but this is the only one I use now.

Thank you!!

Thank you!! 2 points gets the job done. Lol. If I did more I would probably still be trying to finish! 🤣🤣

You ABSOLUTELY can do this!

Yay!! Glad I could help

I actually am not. Lol. I wanted to be as clear as I could be though. I’m glad you found it helpful.

Thank you!!

Thanks girl!! Thanks for watching

They are seriously the best. Cheap and super effective! Thanks for watching

@@ItsCinnaMe exactly.

Thank youuuu!🥰

Hang in there!! It gets much better over time. That’s in look and caring for them. You got this!! 😉

@@ItsCinnaMe you're the best! Thanks gorgeous!!!!!

You’re welcome!

You will love them.

Thank you! My install was May 2019. I have a install video on my channel as well. :)

Thank you!!

You’re welcome!

I had someone start mine for me. She did a grid and started them from braids. I’ve done the 2 point rotation since they were installed.

The best!! Better than tools 5 times the price 🙌🏾

Absolutely! Found mines at Joanns and Walmart. I cut them down, and burn the end, and mold it. I cut them down so its easier to fit in my hand. I’ve done three reties since November so far, and only broke one tool. Best investment ever. I don’t buy any tools from anywhere else. They’re so pricey

I have a video on my channel explaining my installation process. :) Depends on the look your going for. RU-vid is a great resource. Good luck on your journey. I’m sure it will be great!!

Dang, that spell check rearranged everything I said 🤦🏽‍♀

Hahaha!!! Hey there! I’m glad you’re deciding to move forward on locs. I don’t think you will regret it one bit. Now as for loose ends, I’m not sure what to tell you to do with that. Me starting with braids, I never had to worry about unraveling. Mine are braided close to the ends and is still fairly loose at the very end. I feel like a twist will be harder to keep together but can definitely be done. Good luck to you! Be patient with yourself and don’t take anything about this journey too seriously. I’m the end it’s just hair. Have fun!! Let me know how it goes :)

I actually started my locs with braids. I maintain them by interlocking. I did start with my own hair but I imagine you could add extensions to start also. I just don’t have any advice.

I have pretty much done a 2 point rotation the entire time except for my first 2 retires that we’re done my locticians. I do have a few that are thinner than at the root then when they were started but I don’t think it’s from the rotation. I think mine came from friction, locking hair together from a neighboring Loc and pulling it apart or running my fingers through it too roughly at the root and pulling hairs out of the loc. That’s what I think anyway for me. But to answer your question .. I don’t notice any difference from the 4 point part to the 2 point part for me.

You're constantly manipulating the root-to-3 in he's of new growth. It's going to appear tighter, not as thick, etc, than the rest of the loc...especially if you don't palm roll the length of the loc as you go.

Yes. Washing definitely help to encourage the roots to loc. As long as your not doing your reties too tight I don’t see a problem doing it as often as you like. That’s the beauty of doing it yourself!

Hey!! I’ve had these locs for 3 yrs. I’ve only had someone else do my hair the first 3 retightens. I’ve done it myself from then until now. I do it myself because I just don’t see a need to pay for something I can do myself. I can’t say I’m not tempted many times knowing full well someone else can do it much faster. I just keep telling myself there is no rush. I just do it at my own pace whenever I feel like doing it. Lol.

Lol. Thank you!!

It is possible to create holes your locs but holes are fairly easy to fix or correct. Any time I see them I simply fix them. I don’t always fix them though. They are a part of the process for me. No big deal at all.

​@@ItsCinnaMe how do you fix the holes? That is the one issue I have had consistently. I've started small braids and have combed and picked them out because I keep forming holes. I'm going to start them again though because I really want to have DIY micro braids locs.

I’ll do my best to do a video on this. It’s so hard to describe. Lol. So much easier when you see it done.

Thanks

@@ItsCinnaMe YW

I technically have braid locks. I started my locs with braids and maintain them by interlocking. Thank youuuu!!!

It’s always best to try to remember direction but to be honest I don’t stress over it. Lol.

@@ItsCinnaMe thank you 😭. Because the whole reason I even did locs was to be even less worried about my hair and not spend as much time

Absolutely! It will still look good. Plus there are ways to easily correct any errors. I just don’t stress about anything at all when it comes to my hair. This style it the best for that!

Hahaha!! I just wanted to be sure that is Crystal CLEAR! 😂😂

Do you already have locs?

@@ItsCinnaMe yes i have had them for 4 months

If your hair is locked now, meaning the locs that you have now have started to Loc, I don’t see any reason for you to not be able to interlock starting now. If they aren’t locked yet the I would wait given the extra washing that may need to happen based on your basketball schedule right now.

I have a video on my channel counting them. :). I should have about 460 or so at this point.

@@ItsCinnaMe Oh ok. Thank you. Do you also have a video with how you retie the back of your head?

I don’t. I may just do that. Lol

@@ItsCinnaMe yes, please make a video about how you retie the back of your head. ☺️

I’ll work on that. :)

Lol. Ok so here goes… 1. My hair was blow dried for my installation. You can see that in my installation video on my channel! 2. I washed and conditioned my hair before the install and then blow dried. No products added to my hair at all for my install. 3. My loctician did my first 3 reties and I’m pretty sure she did a 4 point rotation. I never asked. Lol. I don’t see any difference from my 2 point rotation to what she did the first 3 reties. That was 3 and a half years ago now. Lol. No weakening of my locs at all. 4. I have done my reties both before and after I washed. I lean more towards doing reties before I wash so my roots aren’t as tangled. I don’t use any products at all to retie but I do spray my roots lightly with a spray bottle just to help smooth and clean the parts. The water helps to do that. Many like to retie after wash because for some the hair gets frizzy after a wash and they want to preserve the “fresh retie” look for as long as they can. That’s not a huge issue for me and my hair type. 5. When I say I do nothing to my hair, I do NOTHING to my hair. Hahaha! I wash every few weeks, I condition now that! I’m 4 years in ( I did not the first 2 years), add a bit of oil before I braid for a braidout and spray with water if I’m not doing my braid out just after a wash ( which I normally do). That’s it! Once the braid out is done I do nothing at all to it until it’s time to wash again! I sleep on a satin pillowcase so no bonnet or anything! It’s what I love most about my decision to start locs! I hope this helps. :)

@@ItsCinnaMe Your incredible, yes you helped ALOT. I’m feeling way more confident now and feel I can do this all by myself. I may go in to a shop every 6 months to see if they’re maturing properly and haven’t caused any holes or gaps. Oh my I’m so excited about this journey. I’m gonna take lots of pictures. I’m hoping for about 500-ish just like you. The maturing phase scares me only because I don’t know what to expect and what’s normal and abnormal. Ima just roll with it and see what happens. Can’t wait til the shrinkage phase is done and I start to see growth. I’m ready, let’s do this. This Monday is my clarifying day and then ima start. So excited. Locs fo Life! I’m bout to join the Loc family!

Yay!! That’s so exciting. Always remember that holes and gaps can be corrected. I get them all the time. Sometimes I fix them and sometimes I don’t. I just feel like it comes with the territory with DIY. Lol. They aren’t hard to fix if you do. Enjoy the journey and don’t take yourself too serious! Have fun!! 😉

28 hrs. I have a video about my installation on my channel

Thank you!! I had someone else do my first 3 retightenings and I’ve been doing 2point rotation myself since then. So about 3 yrs!

@@ItsCinnaMe I may try 2pt rotation myself. It's seems easier. I've been loc'd for about a year using 4pt rotation.

Give it a try!

Ive tried it both washed and unwashed and the both had the same result for me. I just do it whenever it’s convenient. Lol

@@ItsCinnaMe I think that they asked this because they were wanting to know if it's best to wash your hair and then retie it because it's usually best to do it in that order so they your retie stays looking fresh and not all frizzy and loosen up right after retightening it.Most people don't want that right after getting a fresh retie, unless they don't really care about the fresh retie look were the parts are more visible. Plus when your small locs are newer they tend to frizz more and have slippage at the ends and roots sometimes. I know that if I wash my baby locs right after I do a fresh retie, it looks as if I never retightened it and looks supper frizzy at the roots. I don't mind that looks about 2 weeks after, but don't want that look right after a fresh retie.

I can see how this would be. I don’t see a difference for me but I do see how at different stages in a Loc journey, the results would be different.

Can you tell me where can I buy that tools you are using

It’s always best to go in the same direction but a mistake or 2 is ok.

Do you mean 1 pt rotation?

1 pt would be only north to south (as an example). I’m doing 2pt which is north to south and then east to west. That makes what I do 2pt ( 2 entry pt) rotation.

The way I explained in the video. :)

Yay!! Welcome! You got this!!

Thank you!! 🥰😘

Every 6-8 weeks. Sometimes sooner if I’m going somewhere and I want my hair to be on point. Lol

Lol. Thanks
