I use crochet hooks of several sizes to maintain my locs as well as my daughter's for the past several years. Neither of us has ever had any problems. We tighten when we have at least TWO (2) inches of new growth, usually every 3 months or so. My daughter's hair is waist-length and my hair is middle of my back. We've been locked maybe 5 years.

Yes I agree. I know many people that locked their hair using the crochet method, and continue to tighten their new growth in this way. If you know what your doing, or have an experienced stylist, you shouldn't have a problem. Still a great video, she must have seen some crochet nightmares at her shop

As someone who authentically crochets and makes various homegoods plus garments I can say for sure that using a crochet hook for loc maintenance is damaging. When you use one on various single ply yarns which is very similar to a loc it causes fibers to tangle together making stiches difficult to remove. Now when these fibers is pulled in this fashion you kinda have to pull apart thus ruining the fiber making your fibers pill. It would be the same with hair as folks is using 2mm and smaller hooks pulling back and forth. I personally don't think its wise to use this method on hair. Crochet hooks isn't intended to maintain locs, putting unnecessary tension on the delicate hair strands and pulling them in dorections it shouldn't go.

Hey...anyone here can answer his one: Why is using a latch hook be harmful on locs? I have only had my locs done 5x in two years of having locs; twice with a loc tool and the other three times another loctician used a latch hook.😳 I do my own now...a combination of palm roll, then secure by interlocking using a triangle method (North-East-South direction) with a loc tool. I don’t want to continue with bad habits...thx in advance.🌻

So how often should I use the crochet needle for maintenance? I have baby locs and the frizzing down the length of the loc is driving me crazy

It definitely can be; I noticed that when getting my instant locs done that if we weren't careful it would cause breakage. We didn't include extensions but looks really good on you.

Hi. I want my locs to get as thick as yours are but I literally just got comb coils last week and I keep being told that with my hair texture it could take up to a year to loc so that's why I'll be using a crochet needle. However, do you think I should wait until they start budding THEN use the crochet needle to achieve that thickness or use the needle on them now and manipulate the thickness afterwards?? I'm not sure if you're familiar with that method but it doesn't hurt to ask.

Hi, i'm about to get dreads and i have a question. For one this will be my first time getting dreads and the reason why I'm getting dreads is because when i wash my hair (like twice a month) i feel like i'm losing too much hair. My hair is naturally very fine and soft, but i have a full head of hair. I'm going for the hightop dreads look because i've had basically a clean high top forever. So to the question, should i use the instant locs crochet method or should i use the regular twist method?
@nahshuagriffin4022

himearly You probably have them already but just in case you don't, it depends on how you feel. If you want the locking process, a lot of dreads, and clean cylindrical dreads after 3-6 months of budding then locking, then you should do the twisting. Cons are that they shrink A LOT and take forever. The crotchet method is for people who want them instantly and very clean cylindrical dreads as well. Cons are that it takes a long time to do, the crotchet needle can stab you, and you really have to make sure you know what you're doing if done yourself.

There's also charities out there for kids with cancer, as well as people with other heath issues that may rely on the donation of other people's hair.
