Interlocking is becoming very popular among many people who are locked or are considering locking. Many are tying to find the best tools for interlocking their own locks, whether it was started off from palm roll, braidlocs, etc. If you have sisterlocks, you have an option of taking a class that teaches you how to retighten your own sisterlocks, as well as being provided with a special made clip tool for your keeping (Average Cost $265.00 - $285 for the class).

Now they are some individual that can't take the class, and may be considering taking down their locks. I will always suggest to try some of the option listed below for retightening/interlocking your locks. Below are list of tools available for interlocking your locks.

How To: Dewdrop has a wonderful video demonstration here

Metal/Plastic Yarn Needle (Modify)
Advantage: Easy to Use (ton of resource).
Disadvantage: You need tools in order to modify. Due to its size, it tend to get lost easily, as well as Longer retighen time

Sisterlocks Clip & Hook Tool

What ever tool you decided to use or have been using, please remember to NEVER excessively retighten or interlock your locks. A good rotation is every four to eight week weeks. Also note that if the tool is to big to go through your roots, then find another solution, because you locks will suffer if you constantly try to push a tool that is too big for your roots, when interlocking your locks.

As always, comments are welcome, and if you found a new tool that you have used or currently using, please go ahead and share.
