Loc Maintenance: Interlock w/ a yarn needle

admin — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 02:19:30 +0000

**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.

How to: Fix holes in your Locs

admin — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 02:19:27 +0000

This video explains how to fix holes in the middle of your locks regardless of their size. I insert a latch hook tool through the hole and pull the end of my lock back through to seal up the space. I repeat this same step making sure to insert in different directions.
