    Omggggg finally someone who has my number of locs
    I’ve been looking for a visual of how this many locs will potentially look later on as they grow and this just gave me so much hope

    Exactly what you say here: I wanted 200 because I wanted them to be small but I get nervous at the thought of having to maintain 200 locs since I do want to do it myself. I just got 162 starter locs (comb coils) installed yesterday and like you I think I will find it to be a happy medium for me! I hope mine start to look like yours! They're gorgeous!

    • @TheTianaAlexandra
      @TheTianaAlexandra  Рік тому +1

      The 160s were way easier to manage than the 200s for sure! Although, at some times I still think it was too many but I didn’t want my locs any thicker than that. I hope you enjoy your loc journey/experience!

    I love your locs & our journey a little similar, but I’ve been loc’d for 3yrs. I have 179 locs & I started with 222 locs, I still wanna combine more to get 140-150 though. Also, didn’t realize that some ppl believe counting them is bad luck. Weird🙃

    The breakdown of the number was amazing. I just started my locs. I have 272 and the number adds to 11 and when I looked it up it said that the angels are telling me to take action and make a radical shift in my life so dope.

    I want to get micro locs, but I want them really small where they’ll eventually mimic like loose hair. My hair is 4A fine and low density but I’m not sure if 150-180 is enough

    • @TheTianaAlexandra
      @TheTianaAlexandra  4 місяці тому

      150-180 wont give you the look you want for micro locs. You’re gonna want to up that number to get that specific look. You could try looking at creators with a 300+ loc range. Your number will come down to the size of your head and the other things you mentioned like density. I’m sure you’ll love them! Micro locs are so versatile and beautiful.

    People only count locs for the sake of the hair volume or density to the size of the person's head itself. Thass it.

    Thanks for your content!
    I guessed 161 because you look like you have as many as I do which is 177. I also noticed you changed the number on the board several times from 164 so figured it was to throw us off since the other numbers were clean. 😊
