    I’ve wanted to microlock my hair for some time now (I actually contemplated getting sister locks but my pockets said whew 😅 ). And I finally made the decision to do it myself.

    I'm watching this as I do my braid mirco locs. I'm on day 3 and just been watching others do mirco locs to keep me motivated

    Girl,I just started my loc journey a month 1/2 ago. It’s something so humbling and beautiful about a loc journey. The self love and patience that it comes with is priceless. Not to mention the benefits of protecting your hair, saving money,etc! They look so good! Keep up the good work love! 💙🥰

    Your hilarious 😂 "Are those plats? Yes they are" 🤣 I love the look I'm about to start my micro locs and I think braids are the way to go. Thanks

    With the chewing the inside of your gums, get your iron levels checked. After I had 2 iron infusions, I didn't have the urge to do it again.

    You’re the only other person I’ve seen who started with 3 strand plats as well. I did the same on 7/22/21. Very nice.

      Really? A lot of the braidloc UA-camrs now have mature locs or have been locked for 5+ years. There are a few just starting their journeys also that I have discovered.

    Girl, you had me cracking up lol!. I am looking to start my local journey soon. I was debating between starting with twists first , but after watching you, I am leaning towards braid locs. You didn't take long to do them either. I have heard of some people taking almost 3 months to install on their own. Plus the money you have saved! Good job!

    • @TommieMarie

      If you really want to, you can do it!!! It’s not so bad. You are I didn’t try to get over 400 locs I just went with what felt right for me!

    We have similar hair texture and density. I was worried about my hair being to thin for micro locs. I’m excited to see someone with similar hair to me.

      @@TommieMarie girl a million years! Lol It took me like 4 days and then even after that, I washed it at the two week mark and had to fix a lot of them because they got back puffy. My fingers hurt for days but at least it’s done. I’m happy. I don’t have to do my hair like that anymore, all I do is moisturize and put them in twist on the weekend then take them out for church Sunday.
