"MICROLOCS" 3 MONTH UPDATE | First Time Interlocking, NOT BUDDING, Unraveling, Edge Control??

[@DatGurlErikaJay]

I hope you kept your locs. They are YOUR locs, your God-given locs. And they are beautiful! If you decide to experiment, that is your choice. But keeping them will allow them to continue to grow and transform, which will allow different styles to keep things interesting ❤

[@EarthQueen-1111]

Girl I’m only 2 weeks in with 296 megolocs😭🤣. I’m keeping them tho. Yours are still beautiful as yourself❤

[@Blaqdymun]

I did read an article with a chart that stated 150+ locs are considered “micro”. I too installed 200 “bigmicrolocs” on 11/12/22 almost identical to yours in size/ style. (no color just black) I will be palm rolling. I also plan to shy away from using gels and opting for light holding mousse. Your locs look beautiful, you are beautiful and I plan to be here with you, let’s journey together #loctwins #subbed 🎉 Yaaay, you get your re-tie today. Cant wait to see it!!! KeKe J is my loc crush 😅

Thank you so muchhh!!! #loctwins ♥️🥳

[@RobinsBusyWorld]

This is the size I want and my loctitian said it is the start of the micro sizing...so, definitely microlocs. Will definitely follow your journey.

[@brittneer8940]

I have 207 locs and I thought 150+ locs are considered micro. Your locs are beautiful keke j was my inspiration too.

[@being.alexisnic]

I need to do a loc count asap 😅 but yeah I might start saying small traditional instead of micro

[@brittneer8940]

@basic Alexis Nicole good point!

[@kibibijoseph5]

I have 257 “microlocs” they look bigger than hers to me but who knows y’all. I did so much research idek anymore😂

[@CoachShanique]

I love natural edges!

[@lacreshajohnson5576]

Your teeth are crystal clear white

[@taneshawilliamsbeauty3021]

So glad I came across your video. I am 5 weeks in and my first retie is this Friday. I almost jumped off a ledge because I thought my locs were too big and not enough to be considered micro and looking at other people's vids and pages and comparing. I have 214 and my hair looks similar to yours. I just followed you on IG. Can't wait to see what your hair does!

[@being.alexisnic]

Omg thank you so much! I haven’t counted my locs yet but I will in a video SOON 🤭 I’m so excited for you loc journey and hope I can be or offer some type of support throughout it ♥️🙌🏾

[@timaresshearns2933]

i swear as a loose natural i HAD to have my edges done but since i locked my hair last year i have only did my edges maybe like 4 times which is so unreal 😂😂

[@being.alexisnic]

like fr, I don't know what switched in my brain but it was one of the first differences I noticed when I loc'd lolol

[@brittneer8940]

Also palm rolling is a really easy way to self maintain and keep thick fluffy locs. Lol

[@being.alexisnic]

Been thinking about switching to palm rolling!!gonna ask my stylist if she thinks it’s a good idea!

[@refinedbdy]

Girl same!!!! My goal was microlocs but the way they are swelling…it’s giving small traditional locs😭😭😭

[@being.alexisnic]

No but deadass 😭😭😭

[@Cattap1350]

I love your locs!❤

[@being.alexisnic]

Thank you! ♥

[@NomadicHomebody]

You’re locs are beautiful. Micro or not… Mine are on the smaller side as well and I interlock them. I call mine “mini locs” LOL😂. Just practice. It becomes easy with practice. Take your time and focus on the technique and you’ll get it down. I referenced Rebecca Elaine here on YT and learned w/ her videos. I’ve never been to a loctician.

[@being.alexisnic]

"Mini locs" I love that! But yes, it's a journey and I'm definitely gaining some patience lolol!! But thanks for the support! I've actually learned to retie my hair and have successfully done two reties on myself!! ♥

[@ndeadexter]

I have 266 lol I just call them micro locs and a lady at my job with sister locs what like whats that and whats the difference 🤣😭🤦🏾‍♀️ I was like ma'am idk i just didn't want them that small and i am DIY

[@aramideugbomeh]

It is microlocs ok, from 150 above is considered microlocs, probably because you have thick hair so they appear a little big. But it is sure not big enough to be considered traditional.

[@being.alexisnic]

I have 201 locs so definitely micro! thank you for your support! ♥️

[@XXnubianbeautyXX]

My locs are similar to yours and I’m thinking about taking mines down and making them smaller, but idk because I have a lot of hair and I know I’m not going to want to retie them😩😩

[@being.alexisnic]

I definitely feel you on that!! 😭😭 how long have you had them?? I sometimes regret not getting them professionally installed but at the same time I really do like how I installed them so 🙃 lolol

[@XXnubianbeautyXX]

@@being.alexisnic I’ve had them for one month, but I’ve decided that I’m going to take them down and reinstall them

[@being.alexisnic]

@@XXnubianbeautyXX okay! Good luck on your re-install!! I hope they come out exactly how you want them!! I’m sure they’re gonna be so so beautiful 🥰

[@XXnubianbeautyXX]

@@being.alexisnic thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@taneshawilliamsbeauty3021]

@@XXnubianbeautyXX How did the take down go?

[@kell33n]

❤❤❤

[@Theonly.blade11]

They look like 2Strand Twist .

[@mai-linhmainor5965]

Traditional locs are about the size of a pencil.I'd say yours are micros for sure!

[@kishispiritesthetics]

I was told micro if more than 200
