DIY Microlocs. Why I’m switching from twists to interlocs. Microlocs with Extensions update.

I used two different hair types for the look I achieved.

Still have to be careful with interlocking especially on thin, low density hair. 2-3 point rotation is usually best because anything more creates too much tension at the root which can cause breakage later on down the line. Also even starting with two strand twists you can prevent them from becoming too large at the bottom as they mature with proper locksmithing during reties…

Thanks for the advice!

[@knottyJaGirl]

I totally get what you are saying. I took down mine and resized them. I now have smaller Locs and my count is 550 up from 407.

[@KobeLocs]

I just completed the front half. I counted about 180 but I was tired so I will count again. I anticipate installing around 450.

[@knottyJaGirl]

Good luck! It’s a long process but totally worth it.

[@KobeLocs]

@@knottyJaGirl Thank you. Yes. Long indeed!

"Hey, I watched your video and found it interesting you discussed the cultural significance of hair extensions, particularly referencing the Hamar women. While it's true that the Hamar women do wear intricate hair extensions, it's important to clarify that these extensions are not purely for aesthetic purposes. In the case of the Hamar women, the practice of wearing hair extensions is deeply rooted in their cultural traditions, specifically related to marriage, fertility and social status. The extensions serve as symbolic markers of a woman's stage in life, such as marriage or singleness, and are not simply a fashion choice. I thought it would be helpful to share this information for a more accurate understanding. Keep up the great content, and I look forward to seeing more from you! 😊🌟" #microlocs #trusttheprocess #nevercompare #lovingmycoils oh, #mylocs❤

[@KobeLocs]

Thanks for the input! My focus was simply on the fact that they wear extensions. So people here should stop trying to shame people who wear extensions. Now that you have provided more info, perhaps others will feel the need to seek more info or to even verify what we have provided.

[@sonyadenise1974]

I’m researching and getting microlocs in June. I follow a channel called Microloc Mastery (founder of microlocs). She is warning of the very things you are talking about….fat ends, correct ways of installing extensions, etc.

[@KobeLocs]

I have seen some of her videos! Thanks for the info. I’m hoping I’m on the right path. Gonna take a closer look at her channel.

[@lovemyfamilyx4]

Will you be making a video of the whole process?

[@knottyJaGirl]

Yes I will be doing that. And my loc count is actually 568 not 550. Still working on the curly ends. Need to find a way to secure them. I did dream Locs method but I still lost a lot when I washed my hair. Any suggestions welcome

[@KobeLocs]

Which process are you referring to?

[@KobeLocs]

@@knottyJaGirl I lost a few too. I noticed it was the hairs that my neighbor did. She insisted on using her own tie in method.

[@knottyJaGirl]

Which method works for you to secure the curly ends?

[@KobeLocs]

@@knottyJaGirl In one of my videos, I mentioned the KZbinr I learned the technique from. She shows the technique in detail.

My hair is thin fine also, I’m ready thinking of getting this done to my hair wit extensions also❤❤to be honest sis, it looks like ur hair ok❤❤❤😂😂people hate it’s ok❤ u look beautiful ❤

[@KobeLocs]

Go for it! Thank you!

[@taviabryan2721]

Is there huge difference in quality between the hair from the better locs and other one? Trying to go the cost effective way.

[@KobeLocs]

Not at all! Honey I hit the jackpot with the Amazon hair. The curl patterns are different and look really nice when blended together. Also, the curl pattern and pic from the betterlocs page can be found on AliExpress.

[@knottyJaGirl]

Can you put the link for the Amazon hair

[@KobeLocs]

@@knottyJaGirl It is in the description. Please go to my first video. You will find it there too.

Can anyone tell me if this style of locs can be taken out after a very long period of time after you start retightening them?

[@KobeLocs]

Hi! Yes! Absolutely! The extensions were added to the ends of my locs, not the roots. Reties come nowhere near the extensions.

[@jesscorhill8933]

@@KobeLocs I was meaning the locs

[@KobeLocs]

@@jesscorhill8933 Okay. Please excuse me. In my research, I found many people removing just about every type of lock installs after long periods of time. I would check around KZbin university, you may find a direct answer. At the moment, mine are easy to remove. It takes me between 5-7 minutes, maybe.

[@jesscorhill8933]

@@KobeLocs I’m referring to taking down the locs portion after a long period of time

[@KobeLocs]

@@jesscorhill8933 I took mine down after a little over two months. I shampooed and used a detangle brush after applying conditioner. The brush that everyone is talking about on sucias media. It worked really well for me.

Let your haters be your motivators! It's your hair to do with it as you absolutely please! I wouldn't even let them rent space in my head! They ain't paying ner bill. So as far as I'm concerned they're a non-mofo factor in your life! 🤣😅
