A lot of people say you're not supposed to switch from palm rolling to interlocking however, I ended up doing this in January 2017. I went from palm rolling to interlocking on my 7 year old mature dreadlocks. I started and have maintained my locs myself so it's definitely been a learning process. My reason for switching was because I wanted to no longer use any chemicals in my hair. I was using Jamaican Mango & Lime Locking Gel which was working great but as I'm transitioning some aspects in my life I really wanted a chemical free maintenance. I could have opted to free form my locs however I prefer that my roots are cleaner. I didn't want to use butters or oils because my scalp is prone to acne. For me the best alternative was interlocking.
This is one of the best interlocking video tutorials that I've seen on YouTube. I love that the lighting is great and you can really see the tool and the rotation she is using. Check it out and let me know what you think of this technique. I'm 7 years into my loc journey and I absolutely remember the days when my locs could be untamed and unruly. However, I loved their personality and creating spunky style when they were shorter was a ton of fun. I don't have any current style tutorials but I've find some great tutorials on YouTube. Check out this video as YouTube loc goddess Jenni Everlasting shares 7 quick and easy style for short locs.
