See how this course transforms your relationship with self-retightening your microlocs or Sisterlocks.
"I love my loctician, but I’ve also always wanted a backup plan and a deeper understanding of my own hair. Ever since my locs were installed, I’ve wanted to learn how to maintain them myself.
Between life, work, and having an amazing loctician, that goal just kept sliding to the bottom of my list. I told myself, by 2026, that has to change. I
’ve followed @queen.eleem since the beginning of my loc journey.
So when she created a Self Retightening Course, I knew that was the blueprint I wanted to learn from.
The retightening technique is broken down into bite sized segments I can replay while I practice on small sections. I
’m taking it slow, but with every session I feel a little less intimidated and a lot more confident.
I’m not trying to replace my loctician. If anything, this is making me a better, more informed client who also has a backup plan when life gets hectic.
If you love your loctician but also want the option to understand and maintain your own locs, save this. I’m taking it one section at a time with the Self Retightening Course, and I’m really glad I finally started."

“I feel much more prepared to self-retighten due to your course. It was very helpful. It answered all of my questions. It’s very in depth. I also like how you’ve separated each video into lessons so now it doesn't seem overwhelming anymore. Very well structured.”

Tell me if this sounds like you:
-
You’re tired of waiting weeks for an appointment, only to spend hours in a chair while your wallet cries.
-
You’ve tried to watch YouTube videos, but they either move too fast, lack real detail, or leave you more confused than when you started.
-
You want to feel confident doing your own reties, but the fear of messing up keeps holding you back.
-
You know self-retightening will save you thousands over the years, but you just don’t know where to start.
If any of these sound familiar, you’re in the right place.
Self-Retighten Your Microlocs with Confidence is the shortcut to retightening mastery, giving you the tools, techniques, and confidence you need to take full control of your locs!
Imagine how incredible it’s going to feel when…
-
You no longer have to depend on anyone else for your hair maintenance.
-
You can confidently do your own flawless retie whenever you need it.
-
You save money every single month instead of paying sky-high loctician fees.
-
You’re not frantically trying to book an appointment before a big event—you can just freshen up your front section on your own time.
-
You feel empowered, independent, and unstoppable because you know exactly how to care for your hair for life.
It’s not your fault you don’t have this skill yet.
There were 3 things working against you:
You were never taught the right way to do it.
Most locticians don’t want you to learn because they make money keeping you dependent.
There’s too much conflicting information online.
Trying to piece together YouTube videos is overwhelming, and many leave out critical details.
You’ve been afraid of messing up.
And for good reason—one wrong move can lead to knots, breakage, or even lost locs.
But don’t worry—I’ll show you exactly how to avoid those mistakes!
Who am I?
I am Queen Eleem and I believe that microlocs are THE BEST style that a black girl with tight hair can ever have!
And I believe that if you want to self-retighten your microlocs, WITHOUT MAKING COSTLY MISTAKES you can!
But what makes me so confident?
January 2020
Well, a while ago I researched everything I could about Sisterlocks and how to have a great head of microlocs and SELF INSTALLED my 668 microlocs all on my own using the interlock method.
Self-Retightening for OVER 5 YEARS
Since then I have been self-retightening almost exclusively
(I've had another person assist me in retightening for me only 4 times).
I self-retightened through Physician Assistant school and I still regularly self-retighten today!
Here’s why this course is different:
Specifically Designed for the DIY Self-Retightener
Unlike other courses that focus on general loc maintenance, this course is tailored exclusively for those who want to self-retighten their microlocs.
I know the struggles and unique issues that a self-retightener faces and I teach you how to overcome each obstacle.
A Variety of Visual Learning Aids
I break down self-retightening using step-by-step demonstrations, diagrams, and close-up video tutorials so you can easily grasp the foundations and build confidence.
Jumbo Ribbon Board to demonstrate the mechanics in HI-DEF
Mannequin Head Tutorials to demonstrate mistakes to avoid and how to fix them
Self-designed Rotation Diagrams to clearly illustrate interlock methods
Watch me self-reti on my own head to demonstrate all of the steps together
Follow Along Course Workbook
The Self-Retighten Your Microlocs Like a Pro Course Workbook
outlines the key points of each lesson and gives you space and prompts to interact with the material and take notes.
Answers to Your Biggest Pain Points
You’ll also learn how to fix common self-retightening mistakes and how to chain link properly —so you never have to rely on a loctician for corrections.
Chain-Linking is an advanced method used for getting skinny or damaged locs to grow on their own.
Knots are a common problem that self-retighteners face. Its important to know how to PREVENT and UNDO knots in your microlocs if you're going to self-retighten
Holes in microlocs are fixable with the right tool and the right technique

Dear Future Self-Retightening Pro,
I want you to pause for a moment and think about where you are right now in your microlocs journey. Maybe you’re frustrated, relying on a loctician’s unpredictable schedule, spending hundreds (or thousands) on retightenings, or feeling anxious every time you try to do it yourself. You’re tired of the confusion, the fear of messing up, and the feeling of being stuck.
Now, imagine where you could be just a few weeks from now—confident, independent, and fully in control of your own hair. No more waiting, no more overpaying, no more second-guessing. Instead, you’re self-retightening with ease, precision, and speed—and your locs look flawless. You have the freedom to refresh your microlocs whenever you want and the skills to maintain healthy, beautiful microlocs for life.
This program is your bridge from where you are now to where you want to be. But here’s the truth—nothing changes unless you do. If you keep waiting, keep hesitating, and keep putting this off, you’ll be in the exact same place months from now, wishing you had started today.
This course isn’t here forever. Enrollment is only open for a limited time, and once it closes, it won’t be available again for a while. This is your chance to take control of your microlocs, your confidence, and your freedom.
You have a choice: stay where you are, or take action now and step into the next phase of your microlocs journey.
The door is open. The time is now. Are you coming?

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Who is this course for? (I have Sisterlocks, is this course for me?)
This course is for anyone with microlocs or Sisterlocks who wants to stop relying on locticians and gain confidence, convenience, and financial freedom in their microloc journey.
Q: How is this course different from the Sisterlocks® self-retightening course?
The Sisterlocks retightening class is approx $325, only teaches 1 interlocking rotation (whichever your consultant used to install your sisterlocks) and only allows you to take the course if you have officially installed Sisterlocks.
This course is for anyone with microsized interlocks, braidlocs, twistlocs or Sisterlocks. I teach 4 interlocking rotations and different use cases for each. This course is also considerably cheaper and self-paced.
Q: I’m a complete beginner. Will this work for me?
Yes! This course is designed with beginners in mind. I break everything down into simple, step-by-step lessons that make it easy to follow along.
Q: How long will I have access to the course?
Once you enroll, you get one year access to the materials and any updates during that year.
