I have over 450 (installed myself) and I use to do it in the bathroom took 5-7 days. Now after 8 months I sit right on the couch. I section my hair in bantu knots & go row by row by touch. No marrying! I can complete them in 2 days with shoulder length high density.

Needed to see this! What tool do you use?
And this is why I gladly hand over $120-150 every 5 weeks for a retie. I can NOT! You hear me!!? HA!! You are amazing at this and so neat. I love watching your process.
HOW COULD ANYBODY GIVE THIS A THUMBS DOWN! This is just her process and its the most cleanest and methodical I've seen yet!
The Lord blessed you with the spirit of patience. I could never!

Ni Ha You are so right. I loc’d my hair in October. I couldn’t take another session of detangling and twisting. I’m happy with my decision. I went to a loctition because...I would have made a mess out my hair. I love watching microloc videos though. I find them so be so pretty. Good luck to you on your journey!!

@@Gullah_Geechee_Tarot wow we sound the same. I’ve had bad experiences with locticians ripping my hair out trying to hurry and I’m tender headed. Started doing my own reties 3 years ago and love it 😍 now I don’t use the mirror at all my hands are trained to feel lol
Best retie vid I've come across since I started watching micro locs videos
The meticoulous effort you put into your reties and parting is straight GOALs!! Once my kids are older ama be able to camp out in the bathroom for hours. For now I retie on the fly takes decades I mean days!!
I have said it and will continue to say it. The best grid. You do such an awesome job!! Beautiful
You got me thinking I can do this, in reality, I cannot. 😫
I just did my first self retie on my Diy micro locs and girl my hands were over it by the end of it. Next time I think I am going to do what you did and do half one day and the other half the next, instead of doing it all in one day. Great video!
Hey, Tay. Have you ever thought of downloading the Iron Webcam app and using your phone and computer to do the reties? It saved me from standing and struggling in a mirror. It was as if I was doing someone else's retie. It was soooo much better than the way I used to do it. I think you will find that it is better than your setup as well. I hereby challenge you! Try it just once and comment me back to let me know what you think. Love the channel. - Until Christ Returns, Lanieda
I am so impressed with your patience! The parts are so clean! I just did my own retie last weekend and although I think I did a good job, I was nowhere close to as meticulous as you were. It looks amazing!
There’s a mirror you can get from Lowes that can be screwed into the side wall beside your bathroom mirror. It has an arm that you can pull out. The mirror also pivots. It works perfectly for seeing the back and sides of your hair.

Your hair is beautiful. There is no way in the world I would be able to do this myself though. 😂
I really appreciate you doing this video. You have taught me a lot especially the amount of patience that is needed. Your grid and hair is beautiful. Thank you.
I would pause and enjoy my ☕️ too, shoot - just the separating sections part exhausted me 🤣 ....and I’mma sit here and watch you while I further put off my own retwist (only 94 traditionals so I have nerve lol)
I love that you take the time to make sure that your parts and your grid remain beautiful!
Your videos motivated me to start my journey!!! I ended up doing braidlocs because I just couldn't take the interlocking anymore🤦🏾♀️ I love how neat you have yours!
This video and all your videos are very helpful... when u put a clip or two on how u do it .... it really helps.... I'm very inspired by doing my own locks by just watching you.... thank you keep the video's coming
I love microlocs and used to want them but after watching how long the process is to retie has truly changed my mind. I am glad I have chosen smaller Locs that can be considered microlocs because of the amount I have. Even retwisting these is a process but I give you praise for your patience.
Your locs are Beautiful, you did AWESOME job on your retie
BEAUTIFUL job!!! My shoulders and neck are out for the count after I do my re-ties.
Truly the best grid out there!! I just started doing my own reties as well. My first self retightening took me 18 hours!😊 Great video!
I absolutely love your process. So neat and thought out!

Excellent job Queen! I’ll have to revisit when I’m ready to try my own maintenance ... the commonality is patience.
Dedicated!!! Omg!! Get it gurl!! Looking Fab too
I would love to know what you do for a living! Pure meticulous personality! I am blown away. Would love to know more about the music too. I think I will make time to spend time with me too on my next retie. The amount of money I spent 18 months ago on install makes me sick to my stomach to this day! Sisters like you are pure motivation!
I applaud you Queen! Your hair looks great 👍🏾!!!
Appreciate the very detail demo of your retie process! Extremely helpful!
love your attention to detail! can't wait to see your 6 month update. any idea how much growth you're getting in each retie? have you noticed different sections of your scalp having different amounts of growth?
I loooooove watching your videos. I can never watch enough retie vids. Please keep sharing your journey esp your reties (even in real time).🤗😊
Aww your are an inspiration ma'am because my tots won't allow it, I am PROUD to say, I have 1/2 of my head COMPLETE!!!😝🤣🤣😑😆😆😆.......... And my parts looks no where near as beat as yours but one of these days...Hopefully!🤗
Wonderful job!!
Outstanding !!!!!!!!!!!!
You’re locs are beautiful! I would love to see a video of how you wash your locs. Im new to the loc family lve been loc’d for 2 months.
Awesome job! Beautiful hair❤️
This looks amazing I just had my first retighten. You are gifted, Hooyah
Great video! ❤️
Girl that grid though...great job I just can’t see myself doing my own retie. Whoooo Lord.
Great job! I did a self retie in February and used the same tools. It takes a lot of patience and you certainly have that.👌🏾
You did great !!!
You're a good trainer, thank you.
Woah there really neat nice👍🏾
Great job
Thank you for sharing. I was so lost. I kept trying to figure out how to keep these parts straight. This is a God send. 🙏🏾
you’ve done a great job
Patience is an understatement! You are killing it! As for me I just pay to get it done but I admire your work!
i’m almost 2 months in and twisting the loc around the need or interlock tool is genius. I’m going to try that. Your locs are really beautiful. Thanks for sharing your set up.
Great job!
I love it because your set up is very genuine look like my own set up if I did my own but imma start
Wow amazinggg job
I swear I’m looking into a mirror! This is so me! Lol I went back to palm rolling but when I first started interlocking my hair I had this set up. I put tacks in the door(swivel action to see both sides👌🏾)so I could hang my mirror. And clips for days for sectioning off(I learned from accidentally creating some two-headed dragons🥴😆) I was so skeptical about other people in my head cuz I didn’t think they’d be as meticulous as I would. Props to you sis cuz your hair looks goodt!🔥

You are awesome!! I just don’t have the time. I would rather work extra to pay for my retie I just can’t. I’m new to the lock family 1 month to be exact and have my appointment for retie in a couple weeks I’m excited!
Your hair is so cute
Zoom mirror also is good to conserv the grid
I micro locked my hair but I took it out because my parts wasn't straight everyone loved it. Those parts are important when you retighten. I'm going to try again you made it look so easy also tiny braids in the back was genius why didn't I think of that 🤣
Hello... I love your system. How long does it take to do your entire head?
Hi. Thank you for the video. Your locks are beautiful. Can I ask what lighting you use?. Thanks in advance.
I did ask my questions in the beginning of the video
Neat
Wow that takes patience but it looks beautiful
Tay, thanks tou sharing these videos. What do you put on your hair. Do you only have water in your spray bottle and do you use any oil?
Love your videos. You've done an awesome job installing and maintaining you new locs. I'm considering losing my hair. I was looking at Sister Locs, but my pockets aren't that deep. I've been natural since 2013 and been wearing my hair just wash in goes for the past year. My hair is thinning on the top as I'm menopause and my hormones are in play. I heard the thin Sister locs are a good option, but since I cannot afford those I'm looking at these micro locs. So you've had your locs for 6 month, have they all loced? I saw in your first wash some of the hairline locs came unraveled. Also wondering about using gels or waxes. Do they help hair loc? Please keep the videos of your journey coming. Thanks for inspiring us and keeping us informed!!
Good job
Ok, I bought the mirror about two weeks ago... grid not perfect, but I did it. Ty
Can you please share, where you purchased the section stool to hold your mirror up?
I may have missed it but how often do you do your retights

I have looked at all of your videos but I can’t tell if you two strand or braid your locs. I’m ready to start. Please let me know.

How often can you wash interlocs, and can I use a hair grease instead of a oil? Will grease build up?
