@ivykungu: loctician youtube is full of soooo many longer vids on each topic! 10/10 rec :) research points: 1. find a head of locs you like in each size range (warning: your hair prob won’t look like someone else’s! this is just to gauge your taste and make sure you’ve seen your options) 2. figure out your hair density and diamater + learn how that could affect your locs 3. look at the pros and cons of your loc size of choice and use that to tweak your decision you can def get deeper into research from there if you want! but this is a solid starting point imo :) #diylocs #diymicrolocs #diymicrolocsjourney #locjourney #locs #starterlocs #locjourney #babylocs #fyppp

One thing people don’t realize is that when you get locs it’s still your hair. If you have diff curl patterns all over it’ll result in variations -1

I just put twists in my hair, no mirror, no straight parts. Just vibes. Almost 7yrs in 😅

I have 254 micros and the only thing I wish I would’ve did is start them as braids to stop shrinkage and consider the cost for my reties 😅😅

I combed out sisterlocs and medium sized locs with fine 4c hair. Remember, if you're patient is not permanent!

I did so much research. I knew I didn’t want 409-500 but I also didn’t want like 50-100. I have around 258 and I love my hair.

I have fine, high density hair. Large braids and twists make me look boneless. I think locs would be the same.

I’m just seeing this about 8 mo of being Loc’d and I HATE how thin my locs look after a retwist because they are so thin! I have “smedium” parts. Recommended by the loctician and “oh they’ll swell” no…ima comb em out and go smaller lol I definitely have low density hair.
