DIY MICROLOCS UPDATE | 5 YEARS LOCD | INTERLOCKS

📽️ FREE GUIDE: 15 Steps to Self-Retighten and Self-Maintain Your Microlocs with Confidence 👉https://www.queeneleem.com/15-steps-t... In this video, I’m sharing my honest 5-year DIY microlocs update after self-installing my locs in January 2020. I address some of the most common (and salty) critiques around DIY microlocs, hair texture, and “professional-only” narratives, and explain why my own results challenge those assumptions. I break down what my locs look like one year after stopping braiding and banding, how to tell the difference between interlock patterns and old two-strand twists, and what true long-term microlocs maturation actually looks like. I also talk candidly about buildup vs dryness, lint prevention, shampoo choice, cost-effective hair care, shrinkage versus length, and how to manage expectations without comparing your journey to anyone else’s. If you’re trying to understand what’s normal at different stages of microlocs—or want proof that DIY microlocs can be healthy, uniform, and long-lasting—this update is for you.
