I am hoping to wash, finger twist, and perm rod my locs for my official one year and ten months Loc-versary. I haven't had it tightened lately. I am hand locking looser locs as I find them. I am still not sure if the interlocking method is the best method for extremely resistant hair. A rule of thumb for me is if the depth of the loc base is significantly smaller than the parting size, then twist the surrounding stray hair around the loc versus interlocking. So treating each loc individually according to its curl pattern and its curl behavior will continue to be my focus. I call it -"working with the loc personality."

Looking good Lady, I took a tip from you, when I'm interlocking my hair and I have a lot of strays, I just twist them into my loc with a dab of clear aloe vera gel, then interlock them in with my blue plastic needle, and that works for me.
ReplyDeleteGale: Sounds fantastic! The Aloe vera gel is about most pure gel on the market! I am happy it is working well for you!
