    I’m 6 months into my microlocs journey. I have soooo much shrinkage which irks my spirit. I didn’t know that my hair was as fine as it was when I was a loose natural. I have mixed feelings about my locs but am trying to trust the process.

    • @microlocsandmore
      @microlocsandmore  2 роки тому +3

      Trust the process. There was a period where I saw no growth (it was but it was shrinking as it compacted). Now my locs are starting to head down the beginning of my back! Locs evolve so if you hang in there you will get your results. Check out my 3 year anniversary video and you will see different stages and the progress.
      Keep me posted on your journey!

    For how long do I have to continue banding and braiding? I have fine hair and I started my locs with twists 3 months ago. I am noticing that when I undo the braiding , the hair matts together and it's difficult to undo and I end up with a lot of unraveling. Please help

    • @microlocsandmore
      @microlocsandmore  3 роки тому +1

      I had the go ahead to stop from my loctician. It was around the year mark. Maybe you could make an appointment with a loctician for a consultation.

    • @night3angel
      @night3angel 3 роки тому +3

      Similar thing happened with my hair also. Whenever I braided it, it matted together, especially the ends. I stopped braiding and started twisting them for washing etc and at night (the locks still young). When I switched to the twists instead of braids, the matting significantly reduced. I also don't twist all the way to the tip.

    • @microlocsandmore
      @microlocsandmore  3 роки тому +1

    What did you do with the loose hair until you got to your loctician?

    • @microlocsandmore
      @microlocsandmore  2 роки тому +1

      I would hide them with a bobby pin. The other locs did a good job camouflaging the loose ones. Sometimes I would wrap the loose hair around another loc (if it was a short loc).
