Thanks loc'd Mama, I did alot of research before I started my micro locs and still researching. Remember it's a journey, you learn soooo much along the way. Awesome video 💕

[@KgwittheTEA]

This video is nice isn’t, cute hair and to the point ❤

[@MeeMeesArtyParty]

I have fine hair and told the loctician that I preferred my locks to be really small but would accept what she thought was best. Ended up with 348 locks and was a little disappointed in the beginning. Now at $40 per hour with 2-hour retightens, I’m good! Lol

[@LocsSoFine]

Lol!

[@angiecrowell3901]

So why were you disappointed?

[@MeeMeesArtyParty]

@@angiecrowell3901 I have fine hair with low density in the crown area. Bigger sections show all the part lines on my hair. I’m about 7 months in now and my crown has thickened a lot.

[@angiecrowell3901]

@@MeeMeesArtyParty that’s where I’m finest. I was totally disappointed when I got home I realized my middle part is not straight, today one of my Locs on the front edge loose. When I went 9 days ago I had my mind set on two strand twists. I let her talk me into braided Locs. I’m trying hard to “trust the process” but it’s off to a not so good start. I’m usually a positive person but right now 😿. I’m sorry y’all

[@wouldntyoulike2know51]

Your video saved my life and my hair! When you said 500 something microlocs and how often one MUST RETIGHTEN them, REALITY kicked in real quick. Between having a busy schedule, kids and their extracurricular activities, that's a HUGE SACRIFICE. I just ended up getting traditional locs with a little over 170 locs, and I must say that the retwisting every 8 months to a year is HEAVEN & takes me no more than 45 min to an hour to do when it is time to retwist/ or retighten. I was told that it isn't wise to go that long without retightening micro locs & sisterlocks. I wanted locs that I felt I wasn't FORCED to maintain at a specific time, but locs that I can temporarily keep tidy between retwists without ruining them on my own terms due to neglecting a "time table" of WHEN to retighten them. Thank you for this video. While micro or sisterlocks may be fine for others, this video confirmed that it wasn't for me. I believe I would've been in a world of trouble and thousands of dollars down the drain had I chosen this path. I don't ever want to feel "confined" to a hairstyle that for me is ALSO supposed to serve as a way of life. Again, THANK YOU.

[@dee-deechatman1613]

After a while you will not need to get them loc'd as often. I started my own braid locks and have kept them up myself for 2.5 years. I retie my 352 locks now about every 8-10 weeks, which means about 6 or 7 times a year. The more mature they are the less you'll have to get them done.

[@thelordisgood62]

@@dee-deechatman1613I got traditional locs for the same reason and I know I wouldn’t be able to teach myself how to do reties it’s just too complicated I don’t learn as quick as others when it comes to hair but I learned quickly how to do my own retwists which is easy

[@ndeleon560]

Omg I'm with you on the indecisiveness. I have fine hair and worried that my hair won't look as full as I'd like.

[@taracannonllc]

My hair is fine to medium density and I can understand where you're coming from. I must say at 4 years I am pleasantly surprised!

[@princesslynns]

@@taracannonllcis your hair full now ?

[@Mint_tea_cup]

I can relate. I locked my hair because I didn’t like it. I realized locking it would not change the things I didn’t like. Seeing KZbinrs with thick and high density hair didn’t help me get a realistic idea of how my hair would look locked.

[@LocsSoFine]

Uff, that's so hard. I hope you love your locs and have come to love your hair though. Thanks for commenting. :)

[@Shoehoe21]

Interesting..that's exactly why I want loc

[@xxavier3151]

So glad I saw this before my appt have a weak to think about it

[@dawnrosewood7060]

Locs definitely makes your hair appear thicker after its matured (a year or so)

[@mwansasishemo818]

I have the same reason

[@nakeasimone13]

Girl you can do all the research in the world and still over look something. I have fine low density hair too. After researching I decided against Microlocs and sister locs because I didn’t have patience for the retightenings and I didn’t want my hair to look too scalpy in the beginning. I decided to go with traditional small locs and I love them!! I have 81 locs and they are getting thick. I’m three months loc’d. Because my hair is fine my hair does get frizzy hella fast after each retwist but I still have baby locs and I was told that my hair once it’s matured the frizz won’t be as outta control so I’m trusting the process. Thanks for sharing your journey with us

[@LocsSoFine]

So true!

[@valz4050]

Hi, can you post pictures of your hair please.

[@a.ljohnson6843]

I have fine low density hair also, I have the scalpy look and I'm thinking of combing them out and start over, can you post pics?

[@AllThingsToeseen]

This is my fear about getting locs 😢 as I'm seriously considering it. But I don't want that scalpy look, because my hair is fine low density (and NOT the low density these KZbinrs are claiming... I mean real low density lol)

[@ivyalston7277]

Your locs are very cute, I love locs and had them for 10 years, but cut them when I saw the retwist damaged my hair follicles and saw bald spots and I stayed on top of getting professional maintenance so cut it off and doing loose natural hair, and I’m loving it so much

[@jstarzz7069]

How/why did retwists damage ur hair follicles ? Does that happen when they’re too tight ?

[@LRMcGrewSunshine]

I'm a new microlocs 2 strand twists I'm now almost 3 months in. I'm going in for my retie in a couple of days. I'm excited and looking forward to it as I also have fine hair but it's high density. Good luck on your JOURNEY Queen. You've got this beautiful!!!

[@tinamorrison1691]

Thank you for this video. I’m getting ready to start my micro Locs and my hair is very thin at the top and I’m scared however my hair is a very important part of my self- esteem. I’m sick of wigs lol

[@latoyajones6428]

If your hair is thin, don't do it. Here I am with hair 15 inches long, but bald at the top. I been having them for 8 yrs and really on the verge of cutting them off because the thinning has gotten worse.

[@cscreative5460]

This is a great perspective. As someone who thinks sisterlocs is where I would end up in my hair journey I don’t think I’m ready to commit to the retwist. It’s hard for me to sit for medium knot less. I’m happy to hear a truthful perspective.

[@Fauntazee]

I have 4C dense hair & 660+ Sister locks. 7 hour reties are no joke😞. I still would have gotten them but a tad larger. I'm in process of having some of them combined, basically on crown and front edges. You are on point with all you say!

[@LocsSoFine]

Me too. I just got a couple of Microlocs combined last retie.

[@trinawilliams9326]

I haven’t counted mine but there are definitely more than 600

[@KgwittheTEA]

I love this video yes I cut mine off after 10 years and natural for 4 years headed back to Locs because of this video ! We sisters for life❤

[@MotivatedtoAchieve]

Your hair looks really pretty. I wish I had known that reties would cost so much and take as long as they do. It's been 6 months since I installed my microlocs. The loctician did the install in one day and it took about 14 hours. My reties have taken 5-7 hours. My hair has broken off quite a bit and I've had a lot of bunching. The locticians in my area are charging ridiculous prices for reties and their appointments are booked so far out. Recently, I went for a consultation with a different loctician and she said she charges $190 for reties. No thank you! Over the course of 6 months, I've invested $1100 for the install, and 2 reties. At this point, because of the condition of my hair and the cost to maintain it, I've decided to either comb these things out or cut them out.

[@hisbeautifultruth5931]

Your hair (and you) looks really nice and well maintained. Maybe you can retie less frequently to alleviate the cost. Its good of you to use your experience as a teaching moment for others on this journey. Be blessed 🥰🥰

[@shontesmith2439]

I had traditional locs for 12years; knee length. I combed them out from April 2022-May 2022, now it’s July 2023 and I want to try sister locs.

[@deegeorge5711]

That’s the reason I took down my SL -twice! They we’re charging by the hour and it was taking them HOURS to complete a reti thus I was paying a lot of 💰!!!! One loctician was making it a point to put a hella lot of locs on ALL of her clients heads regardless of the grid and size of their heads so that she could make bank on her ALLDAY reti appointments!

[@LocsSoFine]

ALL day! Wow! That's crazy. Did you not want to self-retie?

[@deegeorge5711]

@@LocsSoFine Yes I did. I took the reti lesson that you are supposed to have when you get SL about 3 to 6 months after I had had them but I still didn't really understand the process and I was afraid I would mess my hair up after spending so much money to get them. Yes! I watched that loctician have a client in her chair for HOURS doing a retie on her head! That lady had so many locs you could not see her scalp even as she was having her locs tightened! I was watching because I had gone to her for a consult after my second set of SL were put in incorrectly. The back was not as it should be. She told me that she could take down that set and reinstall some new and better locs. She was lying and she was money-grubbing me. I had at least a week in one of her chairs while her TEENAGE daughter and a friend were trying to take down my hair! I was under the impresson that the loctician would be doing the work! I watched her clients wait for her in front of her shop (along with me) as she didn't bother to show up on time for scheduled appointments and when she did she did not apologize. I watched her retigtening a lady who was in her chair from the morning to the afternoon and probably beyond . I left and finished the takedown on my own. I haven't had locs since then. I don't EVER want to be dependent on ANY loctician for my hair EVER again. I have had too many bad interactions in that SL community.

[@fromChristalXO]

@@deegeorge5711 how did you take your SL down? I didn’t think you could take them down

[@deegeorge5711]

@@fromChristalXO you know that little metal tip at the end of a rat tail comb that you use for parting your hair? I took that off of my rat tail comb and used it because the point is rounded rather than sharp and therefore would not damage my locs as I took them down. I washed my hair and soaked it in conditioner and one by one proceeded to take each loc down by picking it out from the bottom up. As the day progress I used a spray bottle to continuously dampen the loc. it was tedious as hell but I took my time. Mind you my locs were at least 6 months (or more) old and very, very small because I have fine hair. I was able to do it-twice but after doing it I would not do it again. I would simply grow my hair out and cut it off and work a TWA. There is a YT video out where another SL wearer with very long locs took hers down too.

I initially wanted microlocs and when I thought about the maintenance I was like what a bummer! I started off with 90+ or was it 80+ two stranded locs. Over the years they ve become 40+ because I ve joined a few. Semi free formed. Now I thinking of having them thicker- joining them and going free form. I really only used to retwist 2 or max 3 times a year. My down fall was colouring super frequently- changing the colour at will- so dry locs which some are breaking at the ends.

Good Day, thank you so much for this video 😃 because EVERYWORD you spoken of procrastinating to get your mirco locks it’s just what I have been doing. After all of my research just like the research you did same thing here I wasn’t correctly researching but I did find a shop to Dreadlocs and mirco locks and all these things right and I did go to the shop. 5/8/2022 I paid the fee for mirco locks and the lock technician did palm twist in my hair. My appointment was 8 am I didn’t leave until 5 pm. And I found out twist only taken 2 hours.. So I was telling my daughter about my hair and how ugly it was and I can do nothing with it and that I was making a wig to wear over my hair; she’s was like why mom you doing that? I said because my hair is so ugly I go to church and I go to outings and swimming and I can’t do anything with it because I have to wait for my hair to bud.. She said mom you have mirco locks thats the beauty of them they are all ready locked! She said mom they gave you the wrong hair service. Of course I called the shop and explained the problem I was asked to send video. Which I did, the owner looked up my appointment and what service I where to get and seen I did request “mirco locks” AND PAID THE FEE FOR THEM AS WELL… So she made me a appointment to come back in so she could do my hair in the mirco locks.. because she is the ONLY one in her shop that does the mirco locks. I went back to the shop for my appointment the OWNER gave me…and I leave far from the shop…… The owner cancel my appointment NO ONE sent me a message my appointment had been canceled.. So now the shop have made me another appointment for 5/3/2022…. You looks great your hair is Absolutely Gorgeous 😍

Now when I try to twist them back they don’t stay. My hair is 4b/c and loves water but will not grab each other like it did when I was natural

I'm 6 weeks into my sisterlock journey and my only regret is not trimming my ends. I didn't realize I had split ends until after my install. Other than that I'm going with the flow. This is my 2nd set of interlocks, so I knew what to expect with everything else. I self maintained my first set of locks and reties took about 2 hours (I didn't have microlocs). I wonder how long it will take to self maintain these sisterlocks. That is my goal eventually, but probably not any time soon lol

[@crystalfranklin5369]

So now I read that you're not supposed to trim your hair before you do the locs... well the day of locing. Best wishes thru the journey.

[@AndohBannerman]

i also didn't trim my hair before getting my microlocs. i thought my ends were healthy. girl was i wrong. i trimmed the ends last Wednesday. they were snagging and getting tangled so i cut off about 1-2 inches of hair.

Your story sounded so much like mine. Just have to give a follow....thanks for sharing your story.

[@LashawnTerry]

I love the micro locs on others. But for me I can't do it. Way to small for me. I'm 4yrs in and wanted medium size. I started with 2 strand twist. I document my journey on my channel.

Thanks for watching!

Hey good info, I am just beginning to look into sister locs and I’m completely going about it the wrong way (KZbin, Pinterest) 😂 . I just have a comment or suggestion about your lack of sleep and weight gain. Get your thyroid checked. Best of luck !

I’m glad I’m in Africa now and my reties will be $20😂 of course Im paying her more though.

Thank you. I love this and the honesty

You are so welcome

[@angiecrowell3901]

I had no idea my hair was so fine it always looked and felt thick. Glad I found you. But I really wanna cry right now bcz it’s so thin. I thought I was 4c guess not 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@LocsSoFine]

It could still be 4c. 4c is the texture not the density or thickness of the strands. Don’t cry. Just wait. They will swell.

@@LocsSoFine yes you explained well and I was trying to follow the difference in the two terms that I’m accustomed to using interchangeably 😂. Where are you located??

[@KgwittheTEA]

Oh yea the scheduling, yes you have to pay that bill !!! I might need to go into that business ❤and by the way your HAIR is the best roll it and let it free aloe Vera is the cure

[@LocsSoFine]

I’m gonna have to try the aloe vera!

[@KgwittheTEA]

@@LocsSoFine it’s a great moisturizer yes try out it on and wash it out or spray aloe and water! Watching your Video has inspired me to micro loc my hair again I loved the freedom ! The actual aloe plant 🌱

[@takiyasaunders5520]

Thank you for this very helpful

[@crystalfranklin5369]

I definitely didn't think about the retie. I haven't had my first retie yet. I'm almost 3 weeks in. $175 for under 5 weeks but if I wait till week 6... $300. So while I'm not sure what my hair will look like week 5, damn sure not waiting till week 6....

[@LocsSoFine]

yeah girl, it's a LONG TERM investment into your hair and everyone prices it differently. I'm excited for your journey though!

[@crystalfranklin5369]

@@spunkybrewster8404 lol. I'm not trying to mess up my hair. Unlike others, she actually washes your hair. Not having my hair wash at the spot is so foreign to me. She's a natural hair stylish so it's cool. I have ZERO patience

[@crystalfranklin5369]

@@LocsSoFine yup. I was spending about $80 every 3-5 weeks on my natural hair and about that as well on my daughter's. 🤷🏾‍♀️. I do love that it's interlocked. Hopefully it avoids that interesting stage the coils go through.

[@LocsSoFine]

Oh no. I’m sorry. Could they be repaired or resized?
