This is exactly what I did with two strand twists and interlocked the roots. Still at it 6 yrs later. I love it. You locs are beautiful as well.

@laurakasuvu Год назад

Yesss!!! Its such a great method! Im shocked it doesn't get much publicity. 6 years! wow!!! (much respect) I'm following right behind you :) Thank you so much for your kind comment.

@just_shaeee 11 месяцев назад

Yes to everything you said. Im 4 1/2 months in. I've been retwisting over 400 locs. Everything around my perimeter was slipping within a week. I started interlocking two days ago. No regrets thus far!

@laurakasuvu 4 месяца назад

Happy 10 1/2 months to you! If I would've read this comment before I split my close, I would've been shocked by the number 400 but I totally get it now. Glad that interlocking worked well for you, it's the only method that I'll use. How are your locs doing?

@NjokiKiiru Год назад

Been interlocking for about 6 yrs now and you nailed all this information! You covered everything accurately.. You and your locs are beautiful! 😍

Heyy Njoki! 6 years!! That's admirable. I so appreciate your comment, it's affirming to know that the information is accurate. I'm also thankful for your kind comment :) Do you self maintain your locs?

Love this I’m on my 3rd journey I started with 2 strand twist and interlocked the roots this time around. I refuse to deal with unraveling and having to redo and retwist every couple days or every time my hair gets wet. So far this has been the most care free and easy going journey by far 🥰

I love your videos …..Always well spoken I had Sistah locs for 15 yrs, but when I moved home to care for my aging mother I could not find anyone to care for my locs so I cut them I started a new set 3 months ago….. my back is locking beautifully but my top is taking forever so I believe my friend will interlock on my next visit

@laurakasuvu 2 года назад

Thank You so much:) 15 years of having sister locks is very impressive. It couldn't have been easy having to cut them. I'm so glad you were able to start a new set and find someone to help with maintaining them. The struggle is so real with locs locking at different paces, in due time, the top will catch up:) I wish you all the best with your upcoming interlocking session. Would love to hear how it turns out.

Wow! I have exactly your kind of hair. Thanks for this video. I just started with comb curls,but planned to interlock cos it's unravelling by itself.

@LocsSoFine 2 года назад

@@KimKim-dd6wj It's extremely versatile and after being over 10 years natural, my hair started to become a lot of work to maintain. It's fine, low-density, and doesn't hold styles very well. I was slacking on my haircare and wearing a lot of ponytails. My interlocks aren't shake and go somedays like ladies with fluffier hair, but they're so easy and beautiful.

i am so glad i found this video. i installed two strand twists myself and interlocked my roots. i love the look. i wanted reads cause i am 6yrs post big chop and my hair is pst bra length. ive done it all and now dont have time to manage my loose hair so dreads it is =D but i did a 2 point rotation to interlock and it took me 14hrs to install. i did everything like u said for the install then used a mirror for the front.

@Yahashuaskid 11 месяцев назад

I did the same and wanted to palm roll instead to encourage thickness but some locticians are saying it may be difficult and I’ll have to start again. I’m so upset about this. What do you think about 2 point rotation

@Yahashuaskid 11 месяцев назад

2 strand twists with interlocking or palm roll?

@laurakasuvu 4 месяца назад

You're so welcome! I hear you! I restarted mine and got microlocs installed. Have you restarted your loc journey? Did you try different retest methods? Sometimes it takes some trial and error and learning what your hair responds to.

@lifeisgoodjohn316 Год назад

I combed out my 1st set after having extentions for a year. During that time I was interlocking. I restarted with 2 strand twist. I have 4c low density hair and decided to retwist on this journey. During the first 6mths I found that my hair every morning was sticking up all over the place and need to be wet to tame it. Wetting it caused unraveling so I crocheted the twist to combat that but still retwisting the roots. Ladies and gents, I am one that can't do smells and needs to wash my hair. This was problematic and after 6 month my new growth on low density hair was not locking. Good thing is that my part to loc ratio is much better and my new growth is growing with my loc. It wasnt doing that the first go round. I have decided to go back to interlocking I will make sure that I have enough new growth to loosly complete a 4point rotation and not tighten to the scalp in hopes that will help not create a complacted loc.

@lifeisgoodjohn316 10 месяцев назад

I interlocked for the same reason. I would rather not having a more complacted lock but I like clean and neat

my basketball season is about to start , and i have practice every single day and games 3 times a week do u think i should interloc?

@laurakasuvu Год назад

Happy basketball season! I'm sure by now the season has started. I recommend interlocking for active lifestyles because the sweat can cause unravelling, however, some people are able to utilize other retwists methods with little to now unravelling. How is your hair holding up so far? interlocking would require less maintenance over time which might be fitting for your active season.

@ericcartman6667 2 года назад

How many locs do you have? I started interlocking because I have a scalp condition that cause excessive flaking and I knew that retwisting wouldn’t work because I need to wash my hair a lot my frequently.

@laurakasuvu 2 года назад

I have roughly around 150/2 ish locs. I’m so glad that interlocking works for you! I agree that interlocking allows frequent hair washing (which is a plus :) ) How long have you been locd?

@ericcartman6667 2 года назад

@@laurakasuvu I’ve been locd for 8 months now. I have 102 locs I specifically told the stylist to do fewer sections because I want to have a thicker and fuller look. The process is coming along better than I expected but now there is another problem. The stylist that does the interlocking method doesn’t seem to be as skilled or as knowledgeable with how the method should be done. I looked over my locs and a few of them actually has holes which is a little saddening to me, but I have such thick hair you wouldn’t be able to tell at all. After watching tons of videos I understand what causes these holes. You see, you’re not supposed to go through the seem loop twice. From now on I am going to an actual dread technician that is knowledgeable on the interlocking method.

@wonkyelsie Год назад

If I’ve been getting retwisting throughout my 1st year loced, do you think I can I switch to interlocking?

@JAYoung-cs5xx Год назад

You can, but interlocking tends to make a tighter lock, so know that they will most likely be thinner than the retwisted section. A 3-point rotation might give you a less tight loc than a 4-point

@NjokiKiiru Год назад

My loctician told me that if you have been doing regular retwists for a while and you randomly do interlocking, it might weaken the loc at that interlock section so you need to be aware of that.. That interlock knot is going to look very obviously different on your loc too, so remember this.

@gelilazewde1286 Год назад

Does interlocking help you maintain your length ?

@laurakasuvu Год назад

Great question! For me personally, I saw more length after retwists when my locs were forming. Prior to this set of locs, I had a lot of shrinkage with the palm roll method when my locs were starter locs. Either method will ultimately help retain length in the long run because hair is not shedding from over manipulation. Hope this helps!
