**Click on vid response for look at 4 loc tools presented on youtube**

THIS WILL NOT WORK ON SHORT OR THICK LOCS DO NOT TRY TO ENLARGE THE HOLE IT WILL BREAK!!!

I have interlocked my loc’s for 3 months using a yarn needle. I got the idea from a Loc-Key video which is a tool simular to the nappyloc tool but looks more like a needle.
I already had a yarn needle so I gave it a try, and I’m satisfied!!

It’s not hard to master the technique. You thread your loc like a piece of yarn which is the same thickness as our loc’s. USE ON WET HAIR ONLY UNLESS YOU HAVE VERY SMALL LOCS.

See part 2 video for actual pictures on threading your loc.
