When interlocking there’s the “Y” method . That way you don’t go in the same loop when interlocking again . Just split your new growth and see if it makes a “Y” then you’d interlock the opposite way that you see the Y to prevent holes (for anyone new to interlocking)

In the beginning of my journey I used the 4pt, until I saw "naturally motivated lady's" videos. She uses the 2pt and her locs are beautiful and similar to mine. Plus locs is suppose to give us the freedom we didn't have with being loose naturals. Why complicate things? 2pt method will always be my go to.

I too have 4c hair, I'm 3 months locked and decided to start maintaining my own loc, I too like the longer retie schedule.

I’m so glad to see a two point rotation. It seems like a lot of people favor three and four but I think they’re “more compact” for the look I want.

You're actually the reason why I decided to do two point interlocking versus doing palm rolling, and trust it's definitely crystal clear to the point my bf wants me to get a second tool to help me out. Lol

Beautiful! ❤ Right now my loctician has me on a 6wk schedule and 4pt rotation but we said we'd discuss possibly extending it longer... I prefer how my locs looks right before a new retie 😊

Absolutely beautiful and just love your hair. Thanks for inspiring

Your locs are beautiful! Found your channel today. Subscribing and can't wait to see how they progress over the next year.

I love how thorough you are in your videos. And those parts are looking nice and crisp!! You’re one of the people who inspired me to start my microloc journey 7 months ago! 🔥🙌🏾

Your tutorial and description is on point 🙌🏾🙏🏾

It has been quite a while since I have seen clear video’s addressing retightening methods. So thank you very much for sharing this video with us. I have been loc’d for 4.5 years, ( I have a bit over 400, locs, so the only method that works for me is interlocking) but this is the first time I have witnessed a two point rotation. Your locs looks really good. And it is great to see someone taking the time to straighten out the parts to keep the lines clean and crisp. That was really refreshing to witness. I tried the three point rotation a few times, but it didn’t seem to make much sense to me... so I have been sticking to a four point rotation. I tend not to use any products when I retighten though besides rose water because the lint and buildup is way too real, and I am not a fan of lint at all. I think I retighten between every 5-6 weeks, but I am never sure because it seem like that timeline pops up like every other day. It’s crazy!!! But anywho, very cool video, and thank you for giving us a look at your loc journey!!! 👍🏾👌🏾

3 point only made sense once I did it on myself. Using your terminology starting point north -->south west ---->east south---->north west ----east north --->south west----->east south---> north west------> east some people would argue its supposed to be north south/east west/south north, east west but I think as long as you're consistent with the direction you should be ok. I haven't decided if when I reinstall whether I'll be doing 3 or 4point but my first set laughed at 2 point rotation reties. I spent more time every month doing reties then it took to install and I took down when they started forming larger than I wanted. Your hair looks nice, neat and xrispy!

I like the look of my grid after a fresh retwist, but the volume doesn't come back until a few weeks later.

I started my own microlocs on type 4 hair. I use the 3 point rotation. up (south to north), left (east to west) and then down (n to s). to continue rotation go back left (e to w) then up (s to n) then you're back at the beginning of the rotation to start again. I hope I explained that in a good way lol its so confusing to type out. I have 434 locs but im thinking about combing some. I tried 2 point rotation but it seems like I always have to retie earlier than expected? I feel like the 3 point gives me more structure to tame my kinky hair but your 2 point looks really good. Your locs shouldn't be thicker than the hair at the base or it can cause painful reties once its fully locd but the 4 point rotation feels like it takes forever to do lol.

Hello, thanks for sharing. I am currently installing my own microlocs. Everyone is saying 2 and 3 pt rotations on type 4a/4b/4c hair isn't safe long term and that the hair will break off, is it safe if I have 3c/4a/4b hair? Just wanting to know, because I have a sensitive scalp and the 4pt just seems too tight to me.
