MICROLOCS GRID VS NO GRID | Which Is better | DIY BRAIDLOCS

[@ShericaRich2426]

Just finished my own micro LOCS. I’m team no gird.😅

[@DavidJaysWay]

Congrats on finishing your installation and welcome to team no grid!!

[@cMrob73]

I'm team no grid. My hair is low density, almost one month old and I called mine free styling, letting it fall where it may. For me, the grid takes away from the natural look of the hairdo, if that makes sense. Great video.

[@DavidJaysWay]

Yeah that makes complete sense! I like the “fall where it may” look

[@bealoved6550]

I did my daughters no grid, everyone loves them. She wanted Locs for years, her hair is extremely thick , grows fast, it’s past her shoulders, so she didn’t have to wait! I love them she’s beautiful with them!

[@DavidJaysWay]

@bealoved6550 and just freeing not to have to worry about a perfect grid!

@@DavidJaysWay I’m scared thought.. when it’s time for a retwist, I’m in trouble😅😳

[@bealoved6550]

@@DavidJaysWay by the way, it was your video that made her choose these… Thanks for the help, these video are very informative💜

Take your rattail comb and part 15 times in the same spot😄😄😄. Love it🌸

[@DavidJaysWay]

😂🤣 after about third time, I’m over it! Throw the whole thing away.

So glad I found your channel…team no grid 🌸

Welcome and thank you for watching!! 🙌🏾

[@ImAllisonWonderland]

Im team no grid bc that's what I did! I wasn't thinking about locking when i did my mini twists but I loved them so much i didn't want to take them out. I've done them so much but something within me changed where i xhose to let them loc. Definitely feels like an evolution into becoming even more "natural" if that makes sense.

[@DavidJaysWay]

I’m here for it! It makes total sense if you were rocking the mini twists all of the time anyways to just let that be your permanent style and let the locs get to locing 🙌🏾✨

[@PlainOlCourtney]

Team half and half over here. Lol. I did part rows front to back, but no grid inside each row. I love the look. Lol. I just complicated a very simple process. I'm cute tho!!

[@DavidJaysWay]

😂😂 as long as you’re happy with it that’s all that matters!! You’ve got the best of both worlds!

[@cynthiaholland13]

This is what I've done. No grid but a part right down the middle of my head, a part on each side, a deep part on each side

[@faithbryant1730]

Lol at “plucked chicken look”. I’m team no grid because I was impatient and I have never been a perfectionist. I love the concept of my hair being a reflection of who I am. One drawback of being team “No grid”, however is that the hair grows imperfectly and I’m constantly having to redirect hair where it needs to go.

[@DavidJaysWay]

You’re 100% correct about the hair having a mind of its own and having to redirect it like a two year old toddler 😂

[@Geechee_Chick]

When I decided to do my locs I had a head full of faux locs. So when I was taking my hair down I decided to use the parting pattern that was already on my head. I had about I think 100 faux locs installed. 80-100 so I had 80-100 squares around my head in rows. I decided to install four microlocs per square, some have 5 depending on how big the square was. I didn't part the individual locs i was installing tho, I saw scalp so that was good enough for me, lol. Hope this doesn't interfere with the process later on

[@DavidJaysWay]

I really don’t think it will interfere at all. As long as you aren’t bothered that you may not have perfect parting and lines for each of those boxes, then that’s all that matters. You will still a head full of amazingly luscious locs!! ✨🙌🏾

[@Grade_A]

I LOVE the sound effects!😂😂😂

[@DavidJaysWay]

🤣😂

[@shellyedwards7526]

It takes so much time and effort trying to keep my parts straight. Not my thing. #teamnogrid

[@DavidJaysWay]

Too each their own but it’s definitely not My thing either!

[@thisnaturalgirlislocd]

Great video! I'm team #NoGrid I'm 2yrs into my microlocs journey and my "install" was done by a loctician with two-strand twists w/ diamond parting ... specifically because I just wanted my locs to flow like my hair did when I was a loose natural

[@DavidJaysWay]

Thank you! I love me some diamond parting. I bet that came out so nicely 🙌🏾✨

[@thisnaturalgirlislocd]

@@DavidJaysWay Definitely did 😊

[@rubychambers2690]

Team no grid. I start my braidlocs microlocks a week ago myself. Plus did my friend too

[@DavidJaysWay]

That’s awesome! No grid is where it’s at!!

[@sointroverted]

I tried grid but it didn't feel natural, so #teamnogrid

[@LadyDee150]

Great topic! I really enjoyed watching. To be truthful I would normally be Team Grid because I have always leaned heavily towards being a perfectionist. Every hair in its place and that kind of thing. But now I have no grid as I just grabbed hair when installed my locs. Funny, I'm mostly ok with it so I guess I'm changing lol!🌺

[@DavidJaysWay]

I’ve never been a perfectionist at all, but I can definitely see how having a perfect grid and parts would be very important for someone who is!

[@LadyDee150]

@@DavidJaysWay I actually started out with a clean straight middle part from front to back and also a side part, but over time as hair grew in all over the place I was so new interlocking that I didn't have time to worry about preserving neat parts. I was just happy to get loose hair all combined into the closest braid without creating knots or holes. So now everything is zigzag style for the most part, and I'm fine with it.

[@DavidJaysWay]

Oh I see! Yeah it seems like it would be a lot of extra work maintaining the straight parts over time. Extra time added to each retie session.

[@crave7273]

I started my micro locs by pulling small pieces of hair making my loc. I do not have a grid or square parts. Am I going to mess up my hair doing this method? I also didn’t interlock my hair as well. I did braiding by the root and followed by a two strand twist

[@DavidJaysWay]

I don’t think you’re going to mess your hair up at all. Just keep an eye on it as it matures over time. If you notice a lot of shedding or thinning then you may need to switch something up, but it doesn’t sound like you’re doing anything damaging to your locs!

[@The25Sister]

I am team no grid, I don't want visible scalp.

[@DavidJaysWay]

Absolutely!

[@birdiewolf3497]

I did a grid for the organization of the install. Like it was so nice to draw out the map of my head and go block by block. It is soo not perfect. And sizing is not uniform at all. Also honestly I was hoping for a bit more of the plucked chicken look.

[@DavidJaysWay]

Well I’m sure that your locs will mature beautifully and you will be happy with the decision you made even if you didn’t end up with more of the pluck chicken look!

[@ogechio1609]

Right on time

[@DavidJaysWay]

Glad I could be of help!

[@Prophetessgwb]

Love the information, I have Dimond Parts and I like it.

[@DavidJaysWay]

I’m a big fan of diamond parting! I bet that looks great.

[@anydae]

I have no grid! Today is 8th months of having microlocs My hair is not plentiful and a bit scalpy so a grid would of emphasised that

[@DavidJaysWay]

Happy 8 months and thank you for watching!! 🙌🏾

[@deandrad57]

I started my DIY microloc journey with no grid and after doing my first retie or should I say attempting to do my first retie, I realized that having a grid would be better because it would help me to keep from unintentionally joining two locs together.

[@DavidJaysWay]

That’s definitely a possibility. I have almost permanently combined two locs twice when not paying attention during my retie. But I also don’t clip my locs away so it’s mostly just from my being a lazy, laidback retier 😅
