    I never understood why people were so offended by loc extensions. Its still a journey I love them either way, I just am not able to do the awkward phase like with the big chop, I hated it for me. I am getting loc ext soon. Thats my preference. Anyway, you do beautiful work. Absolutely beautiful ❤️😍 thank you.🙏

    Please tell me what kind of hair you are using (brand name and type of hair). Most people use a type of hair that looks so stiff and frankly looks synthetic.

    I am just trying to figure out what's the minimum length of hair, in order to get loc extensions. I had a high-top fade for several years and now I am growing out the sides and the back of my head. Right now, there's 2 1/2 inches of growth. Long enough to flat twist. But I am unsure if I could start the lock extensions now.
