Being a slave to that maintenance isn’t what I signed up for.. I wouldn’t want to pay for that maintenance nor do it myself lol 🫣 but they are beautiful! salute to those sistas! 💯

[@daelocs]

😂 I agree! Power to the babes who can do it

[@CookieCutter-ck8bf]

So you’re the type was had tht nasty matted locs🤢🤢😩😩😩🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ wtf I can’t blv u just typed tht😅

[@Tinesha7]

So good to see you! I’ve had traditional locks for six years now, and I followed you immediately because our hair is similar. But I am OBSESSED with Sister locks and watching them be installed and maintained. But I know that they wouldn’t be for me simply because of the amount of them and the expensive upkeep. But they’re definitely gorgeous.

[@daelocs]

I agree! I love to look at them but, the prices are actually crazy! lol

[@godivabaker6622]

Yeah. I have noticed this trend. 2 people I follow combed out their traditional locs and installed microlocs. I wanted Micros when I installed mines, but I knew I wasn’t willing to commit to hrs of maintenance. The whole purpose of me locking was for a low maintenance hair routine

[@karenmarie6328]

Hey Dae! I’m 4 yrs in, I think they are cute but NOT for me. It’s just to many😂my traditional (65) locs are GREAT!

[@daelocs]

😂 lazy loc babessss unite

[@alviee-k6084]

I decided against micro sis locs cause of the retie and install time. It’s the opposite of why I’m locking. I want to spend less time on hair planning and be able to do my own retwist if I want.

[@daelocs]

I definitely can relate!

[@kimberlyr.henderson5845]

I transitioned from traditional locs to Micro locs and babbbyyyyyy!!! Although I love my hair, in my mind I just keep saying to myself, I have to learn how to maintain my own hair. I have about 350ish locs coming from 80 locs. My last set I had for 4.5 years and combed out and now 6 weeks into my Micro Locs journey. I was waiting on hearing your thoughts Dae. I had this vision in my mind, you would get Microlocs one day too! Lol I guess NOT😂

[@daelocs]

😂 I think they are soo sooo gorgeous but microlocs are for the girls with time! lol

[@mschurchgurl]

I only have 250ish microlocs…I love them and it only takes 3-4 hours every 6-8 weeks. Thankfully I like the person that does my hair. We watch movies and talk and I enjoy it. And she doesn’t kill my pockets.😂

[@ulir6442]

I'm in my 3rd year of sisterlocks, best hair decision. I have 450+ locs and my maintenance takes 3 hours or sometimes less every 8 weeks. Not too bad in my opinion. I got them because I wanted to embrace my natural hair without having to do any daily upkeep other than spritz of water and finger comb.

[@NaturallyKayD]

I have microlocs, and 1) I was tired of doing my hair every weekend or every other weekend and 2) since mini twists were my go to style as a loose natural it just seemed the way to go because they gave me a similar look. Now you ain’t lying about the time it takes to retie them when I do it myself, but saving the coins is worth it in the end.

[@Whatiskansolawatching]

Mirco locs are so cute tbh. Didn't really do much research about locs when I started. Been thinking of combing out my traditional locs for it but the thought of starting over again just seems scary.

[@jafes3770]

I love the versatility of microlocks but I’m not trying to sit in the stylist chair no more than 2 hours max including the shampoo. I’m sticking with traditional locs for now

[@daelocs]

My thoughts exactly!

[@fayesdiscovery]

Yessss the trend is a thing, but omg I got my thick locks because honey I can’t sit that long for maintenance. When I do I am an hour and a half with my girl and that’s wash included lol

[@joyfulsoul2011]

The retwisting is the reason why I decided to do traditional locs. I started my own locs with two strand twists. I post monthly updates as well.🥰

[@jm4668]

I have DIY micro locs. I have approximately 300+. Initially it was a task , taking over 2 day to finish my re-tie. Now that I’ve had them for over 4 years my re-ties take about 4 hours to complete. My locs are not a small as sisterlocks so I feel like I have the best of both worlds!

[@daelocs]

DIY is amazing for the size! 🤍

[@KahaleNaturals]

I’ve had my diy microlocs for almost 2 yrs. I have larger ones, about 260 locs. I started with natural long hair so the transition was seamless. I opted to retwist instead of re-tie to have a more “traditional” journey, I prefer the look, and it has a shorter maintenance time. IMO microlocs don’t lock any faster than traditional locs, my twist pattern is still visible. I feel it’s the best of both worlds.

[@jayalexander3752]

I’m new to the loc community. I’m six months in with DIY micro locks. I have around 230 locks. I never thought I would get locs because at one time they weren’t “feminine” enough for me. Then I did a sister loc crochet on myself and it was gorgeous. I got compliments from everyone even my sisters with real locs. I researched and researched and decided I would do sister locs but since I do my own hair I went with the microlocs. I am loving them some days and other days I’m unsure but I don’t think I’ll take them out. Just trying to find different styles as I’m used to changing my hair styles every other week!!!!

[@daelocs]

Definitely keep them! You already started so you might as well keep going

[@DanaLynnette]

Hello, I agree with you that all locs are beautiful, but I don’t really find microlocs to be time consuming or high maintenance. The beautiful thing about interlocking, is that it happens once every 4-6 weeks for most and that’s it. The hair is locked in until the next retie. You can wash, swim, etc and the roots will not unravel. I view it as saving time, but I only have 240 Microlocs so everything is quick. N-E-who, TFS!

[@chinamason6294]

Yes they are I'm on my 4th set which are microlocs...I did every size with each journey to decide what size I wanted. Sisterlocks were too small for me micros seemed the right way to go 😊

[@daelocs]

They’re honestly so pretty

[@MindFullNicole]

Omg I couldn't imagine having over at the most 70 locs lol (currently have around 50) I love the look tho 😍

[@daelocs]

Same here!

[@Queen.323]

Same! I have 44 😂 like she said we can look alil more “intense” but small loc maintenance seems intense af!! 🫣

[@ThePaddyFam]

I have traditional locs and I'm almost 3 years loc but I am obsessed with micro locs. I love how versatile they are and how its almost like have still having loose natural hair. Half the time I get caught up in the videos and want to comb my loca out and start with micro locs But then I see the install and the maintenance process and I'm like oh hell no.

[@Love-dc5tq]

I’m from California and noticed people were getting micro and starter because they are easier for them people to digest. I’m in Texas and see a lot more women with thicker, natural Locs because natural is more accepted here

[@stephiewelsh8210]

I love microlocs actually, would I comb out my locs to do microlocs no! Had I had the information I have about them now I would have done it. But I see the Versatility of them, but none the less I love them.😊 and I love my locs more
