What is Knotted Locs?
Knotted Locs is a permanent hair locking system created with a fusion of precisely placed knots along the hair enabling a faster hair locking process.
Knotted Locs is KNot a hairstyle, it is a SMART and Healthier option to keep your Small Size Locs clean and separated for longer with reduced risk of unravelling, NO PAIN or compromising the health of your follicles whilst allowing your Small Size Locs to be and grow however their individual characteristics allow them to grow, in or our of the locs.
Knotted Locs is a hair locking method, like palm rolling, or interlocking. I invented this specific method intuitively because I felt microlocs, sisterlocks, braidlocks all small size locks needed an alternative to interlocking as not everyone's locs stays locked in with backward braiding or plaiting which is what interlocking is. The pulling and tugging can create severe thinning, locs breakage and kill off Follicles, as the repetitive pull up roots strands. Check your edges for follicle r
The softest part of my hair resisted locking with sisterlocks method of retightenings. After 7 years of unravelling Locs at the back and nape of my neck, my small size finally locked up with my personalised Knotted Locs technique.

Oil, also acts as a great hydration lock in product keeping each loc strengthened whilst discouraging loose fibres from attaching themselves onto your loc.
Are Weekly Washes Possible With Knotted Locs?
Absolutely yes. Once your new locs are established, which takes around nine months to one year, naturally depending on your curly strand type, you can wash your locs as often as you choose to.
The fact is, lint residue and other fibres try to attach themselves to our locs, the sooner you wash them off, the less likely they are to become part of your structure of your locs. Warning! When an attempt is made to remove embedded fibre/lint from small size locs, it weakens and sometimes breaks off the locs.

A Single Knotted Locs Fact.
Knotted Locs is re-locked 4 times a year, summer, autumn, winter and spring. This is to encourage 100% complete rest, maximum recovery and the most follicle regeneration. Three months break from re-locking helps guarantee sustainable growth.
Can I Interlocked My Locs After My KnottedLocs Experience?
Yes you can. Please remember locs are collections of knots. I share with you, evidence of me interlocking soon after knotting.
When Locs are initially interlocked it is done to encourage the inter woven areas to fuse into knots.
I simply am creating those knots instantly. This is so you can interact with water and oil your locs as often as you choose to. Whilst re-locking your locs 4 Times A Year, summer, autumn, winter and spring.
