Loc Sizes from Microlocs to Wicks - Pros and Cons - Loctician Advice

This is a highly requested video comparing the different options for loc sizes! I talk about microlocs, sisterlocs, small, medium, and large locs.. as well as wicks and freeform. How you start your locs will determine what they'll look like in the future, so it's important to decide for sure what your goals are.

[@islagirl10]

I have 80 medium locs, 4B/4C hair, started a little over a year ago. Absolute best decision ever. I’ve never felt so happy yet so free with my hair. It’s been a beautiful journey.

[@CourtneyGrayton]

Thanks for sharing!! That's beautiful, I'm honestly feeling the same!

[@ladrenamartin1568]

Thank you! I’m thinking of starting my loc journey! 🎉

[@Money-qe1tv]

Same

[@RandySoWavvy]

Before I started my current Loc journey I constantly wore faux locs I was able to experiment with sizes and the amounts before committing. Just an idea for those that aren’t sure what will look best on them ❤

[@CourtneyGrayton]

Great idea!

[@realtalk13]

I have 4c hair that's both dense and fine (and I have a big ol head). Basically means that I have a lot of hair on my head, but when they are braided/twisted it looks less full. So I got small two strand twists installed that I get interlocked. I think the final count was around 250. 2 years in and very happy. I think the biggest surprise was just how much my locs expanded over time, but that really helped with the fullness. I think that's something to think about. I think the more dense the hair on your head is, the more your locs will likely expand

[@CourtneyGrayton]

Yes, I actually wish I touched on that in this video but it slipped my mind. They definitely do expand if your hair is more dense! Glad you’re enjoying the journey ❤️

[@GoingIntoBattle]

Thank you for mentioning this, I did not take expansion into consideration. So if someone has dense hair, can they start off having micro locs, and then end up having small locks after their locks expanded?

[@RandySoWavvy]

@@GoingIntoBattle depends on the method also plaits, interlock, and sister Loc methods don’t allow too much expanding especially compared to 2 strand twist or coil Locs

[@mjjjermaine]

The exact thing happened to me, I have around 280 locs, and my locs thickened to around a pencil size.

[@bibiharases6990]

my hair is the exact same way ...wow glad to knw someone out there has the same kinda hair❤️

[@SimplyIntoMyNAILS]

I have 86 locs (started with 99). I have some small locs but mostly medium. The locs in the back are smaller to get more coverage and fullness with the larger locs up front where I see them. I love them and I love that they are not uniform. 💗

[@CourtneyGrayton]

Mine are similar, the front 2 rows are slightly bigger! I can’t wait to see how mine mature. Glad to hear you’re loving your locs 💕

[@SimplyIntoMyNAILS]

It is amazing how much they change. When I look at photos from my install day to now 2 years later, they look very different.

[@michalovesanime]

This is heaven send because this decision is exactly what im struggling with🙌🏾

[@CourtneyGrayton]

My pleasure! I know it’s what held me up from starting my own. I couldn’t make up my mind! Lol

[@wendykgosi149]

Loc size talking from experience is the most crucial decision to make . it’ll determine a lot! iv found through experience that the size needs to be neither too small neither big but thin enough . thicker locks have so many cons and don’t lock quick . Thinner locs loc way faster. I’m 4 months in thin locs bigger than sisterlocs of course and they locked so fast plus they retain the retwist for so long. Love them. With my thicker locs I had previously , the retwist will last 1 day only. I cut them and started afresh. happier now with small size plus it’s neater and more volume. Goodluck !

[@Tittyraw]

How many locs do you have? I also want small locs but not as small as sisterlocs or microlocs

[@chickenjuice4000]

I have 77 locs and my 4c hair is very thick so the locs are thick but many as well. I thought 70 would be few but they are many!

[@ngoodoh]

This is my 4th set and I have 140 locs. I love this number so far. I’m only 5 months in. I don’t style them but I’m 48, perimenopausal and have a little thinning in my crown. I made this set smaller for more volume and I will probably keep them shorter to reduce the weight as they get longer. I have 4a hair. I made the back the size of a small pencil (smedium) and the perimeter and middle are large small locs if that makes any sense. I interlock the small locs and semi freeform the locs in the crown.

[@CourtneyGrayton]

Love that, I think you have the perfect plan for limiting further thinning while also enjoying the journey!!

[@biabia9181]

I have 150 locs and everyone thinks they’re sister locs but sister locs are usually 200+ I thought?! Even 300+. My locs are only a year and a couple months old . Maybe as they mature they’ll look less like sister locs? I wanted my locs small for versatility reasons. I was aiming for small locs. More scalp access (I have psoriasis), more versatility, less scalpy look, more fullness. My hair is fine with medium/low density. I wouldn’t have minded going slightly bigger and maybe aim for 130/125 locs but I love how they are now. My 151 are perfect lol

[@TheNaturalDoctorRx]

This is my hair exactly. I have about 150 but they are small traditional. They get mistaken for sister locks too.

I could’ve used this video 3 months ago. I kinda just started my locs with no reference point and no idea what I was doing. They’re growing nicely and with hair texture I started budding quickly. But if I don’t like the way they mature I can always start again.

The woman that created sisterlocs patented a tool used to do the interlocking process. It's the same interlocking process 2point/3point or 4 point rotation.

I am looking (and subscribed) to your page to get more information before getting starter locs. By chance would be you able to speak a bit about texture of in locs? I'm asking because I like the textured or curled end loc look but not sure if 2 strand or coil would be best for it. I know it hair texture plays a part and I've seen both coils and twist have some of the same result but still unsure.

thank you for this. i have dense hair and small locs (140ish, not sisterlocs). can you do a vid on retwist methods? bc why did i get my 2nd professional retwist done and the lady used the comb method, which made my locs flat again?! they had been budding and i was so happy to have some volume back in my hair. but it seems like comb method retwists flatten each loc to string beans?

Hi! My pleasure. Density is really the amount of strands on your head. There’s no real way to measure it, but it’s usually just low, medium, or high.

Hi! My last count was at 152!! But i may have combined a few really loose & unraveling ones. Mine will hopefully be small....locs...i do hope they get fatter though!! I had my 1st official retwist...& now...they are all skinny & scalpy....looking again.😮😅 like the 1st day of starter locs!! And she told me not to use water?? I was misting daily...but now im totally confused. 😮 The texture now feels like soft yarn??? I thought i had 4c..but maybe not?? My hair is thin & low density. Hopefully my 150 + locs will help w/ fullness. So far...i still love my little baby locs!!😅😊❤

[@CourtneyGrayton]

150 should be fairly full! And usually after a retwist starter locs do look much skinnier. I personally would tell you to keep misting every few days but just don’t drench your hair with water. She probably suggested it because it might make her job easier, but the hair needs hydration!

Plus I deal with inflammation sometimes reason for wanting them to be thicker 😢😊thanks in advance

[@CourtneyGrayton]

Hi! A consultation would be best so that I can give you more insight, but two strands would be better than braids in this instance

[@blackexcellence5484]

Gratitude and what side are you located?

[@CourtneyGrayton]

@@blackexcellence5484 my pleasure! I’m in Maryland but I offer virtual consultations www.vagaro.com/hairgoalswithcg

Can I accomplish wics on my 3C hair texture? My strands are thin but I have medium fullness... I was thinking about 16-20 wic locs

[@CourtneyGrayton]

Hmmm you can get them, but you’ll probably have less than that amount if you want them to be very thick

[@saifrmphilly]

i have very thick hair , can i get 72 locs with medium parts ?

[@CourtneyGrayton]

I’d need to see your hair to confirm, but typically yes

[@emmie4546]

Good morning, I have two strand twist but it’s with fake hair (should I take that out and start over? ) I want to start my process at certain length and I don’t know what’s the best human to use or should I just do it all natural ? Plus I do swim a lot will me having fake hair help keep it twisted ?

[@CourtneyGrayton]

I’d say just plan to cut off the “fake hair” at some point, if you feel like you NEED it now.

Question: If someone with 3B (and some 3A & 3C) hair (a little bit past my shoulders) decided to start with microlocs, do you know what the length would look like?

[@CourtneyGrayton]

It honestly depends on the method you use to start them. If you start with twists, just imagine whatever your hair shrinks to when it’s wet, is probably the length the locs will be.

[@Marianna-d7r]

@@CourtneyGrayton Okay👍good to know. Thanks!

I hate having soft texture less volume hair

[@aprilb.7731]

Very good info

[@CourtneyGrayton]

Thank you! Glad you think so

@CourtneyGrayton Can sisterlocks be switched over to microlocs. Having trouble finding a sister lock consultant & frankly am tired of being held hostage by the technique. I want options when it comes to a loctician. Thanks in advance.

[@livinginlovewellness]

🙋🏽‍♀️ QUICK QUESTION: Should I take my Locs out completely and start over to make them smaller?? Or is splitting my Locs into smaller ones possible? I’m getting so many mixed answers on KZbin! Either way will reach out for consult when I return to DMV ❤

[@CourtneyGrayton]

Hi! You should start over!

[@janayamcneill1395]

I started my interlocs a month ago and I am already feeling like they’re not going to look full enough. I have about 70 total. I was wondering if I should start over and get them smaller (like microlocs) or if there is anyway to split them? I love the look on an individual scale but as a whole, i don’t see them growing full

[@CourtneyGrayton]

Yea, 70 is not typically enough for a full look. You’d have to do them over if you wanted them smaller tho

[@janayamcneill1395]

My man want me to loc my hair. I’m looking into loc’n my hair because I no longer have the time to care for my fro. This video was very informative now I’ll have to find someone I trust to loc my hair.

[@latonyamoore3907]

Wis.h I would've known all this 14 years ago..My loc journey has been full of struggle & a learning experience.

[@St00pysapnap]

Idk if you will see this-but I really want sister locs and I love how there small but for me I definitely no questions asked want locs that will be able to cover my face.Are sister locs able to do that? If not are there any time of other locs that are like sister locs and will be able to cover my face? Thank you

[@CourtneyGrayton]

What do you mean cover your face? Like a bang? Can you explain what you’re looking for a little more?

[@St00pysapnap]

Yes kinda like bangs. For example how what I call “nonchalant dreads.” They cover the face and what I mean by cover the face is like eyes, forehead. Nose. Kinda like that.
