1 Month Later: My INTERLOCKED Locs & Roots | 3 Year Loc Update

Just a back story:

RETWISTING:
I have been growing my locs now for three years and I generally maintain my locs through retwisting. I have retwisted since the beginning of my locs journey simply because it's something really easy for me to do from home (all by myself). Retwisting is a beginner-friendly way to maintain your roots - especially for those of us who are not "professional hairstylists" lol.

For so long I have retwisted my own locs myself with a few clips and a twisting product (lately I have ditched the tools and products except oil). The reason for this is because I have found comfort in twisting the roots of my dreadlocks and I have been a little fearful with interlocking my own hair.

INTERLOCKING
A few weeks ago, my mom Velvet Lox interlocked my locs (for the very first time!) in order to tighten my locs instead of retwisting.

INTERLOCKING PROS
1. Interlocking locs last longer
2. Great for active lifestyles
3. Hair stays neat

INTERLOCKING CONS
1. Takes a long time to do
2. Makes it difficult to comb out locs if you plan to in the future
3. Very intense! You must know what you are doing or you may damage your locs.
4. Expensive to get installed by a professional (I googled some prices and the interlocking method can go anywhere from $300 to $600 - some locticians charge per length of hair)


Overall my experience with both was very pleasant!

The interlocking installation was completely pain-free and did not feel tight at the base at all. It did take 2 hours tho lol But with the right company and much patience, you should be fine.

The retwisting installation process is super easy to DIY from home and really gives me a more organic feel to maintaining my hair.
