DIY STARTER MICROLOCS / 1 month update (Two strand twist locs).

[@JLee-jw4sm]

I have never seen microlocs this small, wow! They're sooo pretty. You must have like 1000 locs

[@kellya3162]

I left my ends out as well because I didn't want my locs to be straight down. I am 1 year in and I love the volume of having my kinky curly ends. Your locs are gorgeous! Some of the tangles and marrying may be due to the amount of locs and the length of your hair. I have 600 locs and thought I had a lot. I never heard of anyone having 1000!! I do run my fingers thru my hair to keep the ends from tangling & I started using oil 6 months in. Thanks for the updates!! I'm excited for your journey!

[@luckygirl20000]

Those were my exact thoughts too 😊💕 Thank you!

[@newhites29]

Imani Goodridge's mom has about 1000. I know locks don't turn out exactly the same but look up Imani Goodridge and it could give you an idea of how your hair may turn out.

[@Divineveggiemama]

They look great and I enjoy the updates and witnessing your process. I've seen it recommended often to braid/band your hair when you wash, and to take the time separate after washing to prevent marrying and tangles. I'm excited for next month and every month after for you. They are going to be beautiful.

[@luckygirl20000]

Thank you 💕

[@ladyofwisdom2]

Gurrrl, your patience levels are unbelievable! Your hair is 🔥 and I love your sister locs. It looks like you're rocking micro braids with extensions. ❤

[@yvetteoliver1055]

I was told in order to help with the marrying of locs that every few days you should go thru your locs & separate them. Also after washing them & before they dry completely you should separate your locs. Also I thought in your install video that you stated that you braided your ends so that your hair wouldn't unravel. I could be wrong but your hair is still pretty!

[@luckygirl20000]

Thank you, Yes I did braid my ends and that is what has delayed most of my locs from unravelling all the way, just a few locs about 3 percent unravelled all the way but for most of them the braided parts are still holding on, It helps to braid but banding the ends during washing would have completely stopped the unravelling at the ends if only I wanted that. 💕

[@SimoneBailey]

Yvette is right. You should separate locs on a regular basis, if not daily.

[@SE-gs6gd]

Dude with locs that small you really have to stay on top of your retys. Marrying and too much new growth at the root you risk thinning and breakage. Yikes that looks like a lot of work but they are pretty.

[@christinerose9561]

Beautiful! I am curious to see how they thicken up in the year to come and beyond. I'm crying for whoever arms have to retie these! I have 357 and refuse to retie them. I love my loctician. LOL ! At 3 months in, I've committed to a No washing, products, swimming, satin scarfs, no head wraps, rose/aloe water at all. I band and sleep at night on a cotton pillow. I've found that my hair is locking faster without those anit-locking routines.

[@Runwaybeau]

I have sisterlocks and because of the texture of my hair I have big issues with them marrying right at about four weeks after my retie. So I suggest you get a retightening schedule and try not to wait too long in between retightenings or your hair will start thinning and you’ll lose locks. It’s also best to try to separate them while they’re wet as well. Good job on them because I could have never had enough patience to do that 👏🏾😊

[@charityandabwamakale9429]

I'm definitely going to install microlocs.

[@luckygirl20000]

Yaasss you should!

[@joycepugh9726]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I cant wait to see the next update whether good news or bad news. "Such as life", because you can help show what really will happen to locs as these.

[@luckygirl20000]

Absolutely!!💞

[@IAmKimmyM]

Your locs are beautiful! You started perfectly: good length and thick hair. Had you given it more time the water would have loosened up those ends. Your edges will continue to unravel until they are trained to lock. You have a lot of locs so you will definitely have to separate your roots and tips frequently. Mist your roots and tips with water before you start the separation process. Continue to enjoy your journey and let your hair do what it do. All loc journeys require patience.

[@earthlycolorbrown6246]

Yesssss Beautiful Sister Queen! Frizz is not mandatory for luscious locs! I have no frizz and will not tolerate it! #braidingandbanding is Everything! I #interlocks My edges with #Reverse4pattern #microlocs For tangles wet fingers or mist scalp before touching Your locs! Once weekly run fingers ie finger combing roots and NO SCISSORS! There is Absolutely no way to determine which of these foundational scaffolding of retained hair is expendable. Do not trim wispy or frizzy hairs simply wrap locs at night. Aloe vera gel can cause buildup in 100 days presenting itself as white flakes or mimicking dandruff or dry scalp when it is build up. Many dye their locs black to cover and mask unhealthy loc habits! Use Kinky Curly Curling Custard if You must "tame" locs or smooth them. But remember the idea of loving your locs is Embracing the journey. Rosewater will help! I mist My scalp twice weekly and wash every other Friday! No conditioning and no moisturizing shampoo that are not ph Balanced clarifying for Our hair health. I have product suggestions on My channel Beloved for those no buildup water soluble ph Balanced cruelty free concoctions. I am so happy for You and Your Beautiful #microsenegalesetwists journey!

[@hyacinthdibley2420]

So... *if locs are marrying each other* ... *is it ok to call it “wedloc”?* Hahaha. Sorry. Couldn’t help myself. I love these micros so much. I have been thinking of trying them out because my hair already has a natural grouping/locking pattern that is difficult to comb through...especially at the base. So I’ve been considering interlocking or palm rolling them where they group up and be done with it. Detangling is the worst.

[@luckygirl20000]

Lol, Love it!! 😀

[@portialujabe3121]

Gorgeous! 😍 Your channel needs way more recognition 🌻

[@luckygirl20000]

Thank u 💕

[@LaZy3LocD]

I TOTALLY Agree!

[@SimoneBailey]

Agreed.

[@ameliedomori5412]

Love your hair! Great work. I have microlocs not nearly as many as you and I get some tangling but my assumption is that your locs are too small. Maybe join the ones that seem to marry the most. Just a suggestion.

[@sharliwt]

Love your locs. I think some of the marrying comes from how much friction you are doing during your wash days. I notice you rub your scalp a bit so because of your hair type you will cause it to marry. Maybe be more gentle massaging the scalp during wash. Also water cause hair to loc due to your texture so you have alot of new grow and when that new grown has not been retied it will try to marry. I love your hair truly an inspiration.

[@luckygirl20000]

Thank you, That is quite helpful information 💕.

[@LaZy3LocD]

Love this! And omygoodness..your volume has doubled since last month! 😍🙌🏽🙌🏽

Ohhhhh them thangs are going to be thick!👏🏾💕

[@elouis0323]

Hello dear ... your hair is fabulous ...small tip: when you are washing you hair make sur to braid and band (specially around your edges) to prevent slippage and unravelling. I also use this technique if I am going to the gym or to the pool. Maybe it will help you. Keep going your nice work

[@AlllSmiless]

She was originally banding but she said in the video that she stopped in order to try to get more volume. It seems to have worked.

[@kareoleena]

Hello sweetie!!! I have to tell you... because our hair texture is similar. It takes a looooonnnng while for the perimeter to loc up. But do not worry... it eventually will. For me, every single month that I retightened my locs for about a year I would have to re-establish my locs. The best way to minimize the marrying and unraveling... it is still best to band the ends of your locs. I would say for at least 6 months while your hair is still trying to figure out what it going on!!! 🥰🥰🥰 But all in all enjoy the journey sweetness and try to have patience. I have been loc’d for 4 years. I installed and maintained my locs , and it was absolutely the best decision I have ever made!!! Oh yes... I almost forgot to mention... you and your hair are absolutely gorgeous 😍😍😍!!!

[@luckygirl20000]

I used to incorporate that on my wash day routine when I started but I am afraid I was a little impatient with the volume lol ☺. I will post my recent development soon, I hope I get to 4 years just like you in my journey someday, its very inspiring to hear your thoughts, Thank you so much 💕.

[@kareoleena]

@@luckygirl20000 You are very welcome. In the next 3-6 months you will notice very interesting things taking place with your hair. When the shrinkage starts taking place it is really going to get interesting 👀!!! But don’t worry 😉!!! Have you decided which tools you will be using to retighten your locs? I initially started using the easyloc hairtool back when it was made out of metal. The new version of the tool is made from plastic and it is not very durable 😞 ( it broke on me a couple of days ago) I am now awaiting the ultra micro o locker tool. I will let you know how that goes. Because it is very important to have a good tool to maintain your locs with!!! Anywho sweetness!!! Thank you for sharing your journey, and I will check back with you. 🥰🥰🥰

[@SE-gs6gd]

Because your locs are so small i wpuld not pull them apart to separate them because they may not separate evenly and you may end up with some thinning roots. You don't have alot of leeway to lose strands. I would cut the individual single hair strands that are clinging. That way you can control how many strands are separated off. Also remember as your hair matures your locs will naturally thin in diameter as the hair becomes more matted and compact. This is a good thing though because you want them to have good tensile strength. Also be careful when retightening to not leave holes in your locs. Make sure you start your rety right where the loose hair ends. Just my two cents. Again they look really good!

[@missdanibelle]

Wow! So gorgeous! 💓

[@luckygirl20000]

Thank you

[@brandontyson3413]

I curious about how the retie is going to go

[@AD-ye6mw]

@@luckygirl20000 check out QueenEleem's channel u did a few things that's causing you problems main this is the twists were to high up the length of the hair. Twists are only for the end of the hair. All the best.

[@AlllSmiless]

@@AD-ye6mw what do you mean by that? Queen eleem interlocked her hair throughout. Lucky girl started her locs with twists/ braids. Similar to how Bindi Marc had at one point. Those are two completely different methods. Tho only set in stone method of creating microlocs is the sisterlock method. Diy microlocs however, run the gamut as far as establishment/ installation methods.

Have you started styling your locs? if so, I'm curious as to how you have done the styling with your starter locs. 😊
