      @Jozelle Renia amazing! Very low maintenance and I only retighten once every 2 months. My hair is growing fast too. I love it. This was the best decision I have ever made for my hair.

    I cannot I agree more with you. They're exactly how you said it. All the things that attracted me to locs. And your locs they are beautiful.

    The biggest pro to me is less maintenance, which leads to less stress! Also the product junkie thing is so real. I only use rose water, almond oil, and essential oils on my hair. And only retwist once every 5-6 weeks and once my locs mature I’ll most likely stretch it to 2 months if I can. Wow totally different schedule than my loose natural hair.
    Another BIG pro is that they are absolutely gorgeous and easy to style 😍 and it’ll become even easier when my locs mature! The only cons I have deal with me starting on heat damaged hair, so that’s my fault. And the first initial shrinkage. And lint. But to me the pros super outweigh the cons.

    I think I want these. I love the look of an afro and the ability to do other styles on my hair but I love the low maintenance-ness of locs. I combed out my index finger tick locs last year and I'm TIRED of this fro.

      I feel the same way. I am scared to make the commitment but I am even more tired of my hair and all the time it takes to keep it up. My length has stalled because I don't have time to care for my hair daily like I should. I am about to pull the trigger and do micro locs. my hair is already long and I keep it in micro twist most of the time anyway. I am not just going to start my twist and turn them into locs.

    Ya know I didn’t think I’d comb out Sisterlocks when I got them, but when faced with self maintenance, that’s exactly what I did. It wasn’t half as bad as I thought it would be, and I’m SUPER excited I did.

    • @keshia1390
      @keshia1390  3 роки тому +6

      Oh wow that's great! I'm curious and I have so many questions! How long did it take? How many did you have? How long had you been loc'd? Did you retain a lot of length ?

      @@keshia1390 Lol, I got them in July of 2017 and began picking them out in October of 2019. There were over 400, my consultants estimation. I didnt work on it consistently. I finished combing them out in April 2020, but I'd say it took 2.5-3 months to pick out. I colored my hair before my install, and ALL of the color broke off during take down. I was at shoulder length when I started and I ended up at armpit length after several trims. I'm planning to get traditional locs.

    Damn, wishing I didn't do another big chop last year bc I would've had a lot of hair to start off with for microlocs! I was just so frustrated with the maintenance of my natural hair that I wanted to have a break lol. I think I'm ready to get locs soon though. I'll have to be patient but it must be so satisfying seeing the growth over the years!

    I had locs for like a year and combed them out because I put them in for the wrong reasons and wasn’t ready. Buuuut I want locs back now and I love the look of smaller locs. I think somewhere between traditional locs and micro locs. Also what’s the difference between micro locs and sister locs?

    • @keshia1390
      @keshia1390  3 роки тому +4

      Microlocs and sisterlocs are started differently, but look very similar. Microlocs are small locs started with braids, twists, or interlocks. Sisterlocks are started by sisterlock professionals who use a trademarked technique. Hope this helps!

      I really like those braided loc, but do they stay braided or change 🤔 and the other questions is your hair soft or hard 🤔. I guess my fear of getting locs is how they look very dry and ruff looking. Do my braid loc has to change from braids locs to I guess regular locs.

    Are micro locs easy on the edges? I have traditional locs on the thicker side and I worry that having them will make my edges more fragile because my edges are already rather thin. They are super fragile and will go back even by wearing a scarf or bandana for a few days. Anyone can answer. I dont mind

      I think you can. I assume you would keep cutting it as it gets longer. But I'm not sure if you have to wait until it's completely loc'd first. I would probably seek out a loctican to cut it if so.
