Another great install. The natural hair, no extensions, looks amazing!

[@LadyJanae1]

❤ Your client has such beautiful thick hair!

[@lovemyfamilyx4]

Her thickness is on another level 😮 WOW

[@janelb.63]

Yours are the absolute neatest and attention to detail that I’ve seen! Thanks for caring about the integrity of your clients hair Beautiful Shardel.. I’ll book my appointment yet 🎉🎉🎉

[@50cwalker]

When you add extension do it cut your hair? And when you wash your hair is there any unraveling?

[@ShardelHaden]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@ShardelHaden]

No I do not cut my clients hair... Sometimes they will slip but I just put them back in afterwards.

[@dee-deechatman1613]

Beautifully done! Great work…

[@lindalewis2094]

Beautiful! Love how your parts are neat and you tailor it to the density of the client’s hair. I’m in Waldorf and will be reaching out to you to start my microlocs process.

[@monifa3605]

Love your videos!! I will always follow your techniques for micro twists/braids, it has been a game changer for me 💕

[@ShardelHaden]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@Jnaye527]

I love watching your install videos! Are you able to post more re-tie videos of micro locs with out extensions?

[@ShardelHaden]

TY so much! 😊 Yes I will definitely be doing more of those!

[@SandersRN81]

My hair is similar thickness and density as her hair. I went in for a consultation and was told that when I leave my hair would look stringy and I would not like it because of the freshness of the style. I thought that was odd and seeing this beautiful head of locs I am sure she was lying and full of B.S. I guess seeing my thickness and length she tried to make me scared of getting my hair done by her. I am so glad she never touched my head.

[@ShardelHaden]

Oh wow! yeah that sound like she just didnt want to do it. Im sorry that was your experience 😊

[@apeeks]

You have beautiful work. What brand of curl smoothie did you use?

[@ShardelHaden]

Thank you 😊 As I Am

[@Its__Monica]

Love your work! Couple questions: 1. Is there a particular reason you section off such a small area for the front area ? 2. Do you know about what size you make your parts/squares 1/8inch or 1/4inch etc.? 3. For the thinner areas of a head (edges or nape) would you recommend making the box a bit bigger or add a little extension for strength?? 4, Does it matter if the parts aren’t brick layered? From the video it seems like your parts are stacked on top of each other, not bricked. However that could just be the angle. Thanks!

[@ShardelHaden]

Thank you so much! 1. Not a specific reason but I do like to work with a smaller section so I can gage sizing for the density in that area better. 2. I do not measure them. I size them according to the hair density of the area I am in 3. Yes. 4. They are not brick layered. To me, it doesn't matter. They are so small that they will fall exactly where they should. With that being said, If a client requests brick layering I would do it. 😊

[@Nappylocs22]

I absolutely love your work and your spirit! You maybe seeing me in 2024!!!❤

[@ShardelHaden]

Thank you so much! I truly appreciate your kind words 🥰

[@kahadijageorge8185]

Beautiful 💕. I have fine textured 4c hair. Please do a video on an install for my hair type. Do you have videos on braidlocs install?

[@ShardelHaden]

Thank you! I have a video with braid loc extensions. In the new year I have a few installs coming up for braidlocs without extensions.😊

[@tboogieization]

Hi!! I'm trying to learn doing micro locs and my question is do you braid the base B4 twisting? It doesn't look like you did but I would like to be certain. Thx Great video btw 🔥

[@TheDeandrea97]

Your work is amazing. What kind of gel do you use?

[@westindies9433]

For people like me with thin hair, would you recommend this parting? And also if I only want it temporary is retie the hair a good idea? Thanks for your response, love from France 🇫🇷

[@RaennaJohnson]

I didn't catch is it starting as a 3 part braid or is it a full twist all the way down? Her work is amazing, I'm going to lock my hair this fall so they can be ready for the summer!

[@nnenne4]

It looks like she braided the bottom and then twisted the rest

[@dyrich6799]

Hey Shardel I’m considering starting my daughter locs (traditional size) with two strand extensions. Do you know what that will like over think

[@LaMeshiaJohnson-r2e]

Gorgeous work, its taking me 16 plus hrs for my installs. Are the any pointers to decrease the time?

[@ShardelHaden]

Thank you so much! I think the more you do it the easier it gets and the faster you move. Prep is essential

[@lashaunholoman6745]

Beautiful!

[@ShardelHaden]

Thank you!😊

[@diamondsandpearls4534]

I love it, this is the length I want.What length braiding hair did you use, also is it ok to blow out my hair

[@ShardelHaden]

Thank you! This is her natural hair

[@keshaslusher8452]

You are my inspiration. I love your work. I going to try this method. The only question I would like to ask is,do you ever do micro loc braids with extensions.

[@darchele1]

Beautiful work!! How long did it take for you to install these microlocs??

[@ShardelHaden]

Thank you! These took about 9-10 hrs divided into two days

[@nonhlenkabinde6230]

I wish you were in South Africa 😭 There isn't anyone around here that can do them like you do.

[@JM11P]

I love your work ❤ can you tell us the song that was playing in the end? Thank you

[@ShardelHaden]

Thank you so much! Yes... let me look it up again. I get all my music from epidemicsound.com

[@jasminepeoples3633]

How do you determine the rotations that your going to do? How do you prevent holes in the locs

[@ShardelHaden]

I decide on rotations depending on their hair density. Holes are possible because these are started with twist... The key is knowing how to correct that issue if it happens.

[@pricelessparadise]

Looks so good i want this but im not excited about doing them. Do you think two strand from the scalp is better than a braid from the scalp. Last time i did mine i did two strand twist. This time i am thinking of braiding my hair first.

[@SheIsSelah]

This is beautiful work 😍 How long is the average process?! Thanks 🫶🏾

[@ladymimosa7495]

Absolutely gorgeous ❤❤

[@ShardelHaden]

Thank you! 😊

[@jaspo6436]

Are you able to get sister locs on relaxed hair? I want to get them so badly.

[@ShardelHaden]

I would suggest not doing that because it’s gonna take your hair an extra amount of time to loc, which will cause more slippage. Which in turn would just cost you more money. Maybe grow your natural hair out a bit and have a consultation to see what a Loctician that does sister locks would suggest.

[@jaspo6436]

@@ShardelHaden Thank you for you suggestions.

[@cici8427]

Do you typically give every client the same amount of locs? Or is the parting for the same for each client?

[@Nubiancoils]

Looks amazing as always 🔥🔥. When you first started learning how to do these how long would it take you?

[@ShardelHaden]

Thank you! It would take about 12hrs

[@giibeauty1]

Hi thank you for creating this very detailed tutorial. Is it best to do the brick layering method?

[@maischialsteel8306]

I am obsessed with your work!‼🥵🤩😍😘Thank you for sharing your skill with us❣❣How many bundles of hair do you normally use on one install?

[@ShardelHaden]

Thank you so much! Usually around 3 to 4 🥰

[@maischialsteel8306]

@@ShardelHaden thank youuuu!

[@dakeia06]

Questions what are you doing at the end of the twist

[@ShardelHaden]

Interlocking the roots

[@peacebeteal]

How long does it take you start to finish?

[@ShardelHaden]

Up to 12 hrs

[@plushdollll]

Nice!

[@Swilliams21]

Do u have a photo or something of the different sizes of micro locs?

[@ShardelHaden]

There are some photos on my IG as well as some shorts on youtube. instagram.com/braidsbyshardel/

[@marchelleallen3621]

How many packs did it take for a full head?

[@ShardelHaden]

This was done with her natural hair. Typically for an extensions install I use about 3.5 - 4 packs

[@EmpowerLocs]

How do you choose which grid to use?

[@ShardelHaden]

It's really dependent upon how Im feeling and how dense the clients hair is. The best way I can break up the dense areas normally determine what type of grid I do. 😊
