    His texture is similar to mine, it seems (3c/4a). I have 328 locs and a lot of slippage. I wonder how his maintenance will be. I'm in the process of adjusting my schedule as well as what I do to maintain my microlocs. Leaving it alone, as people say, does not work for me because my roots LOVE each other and try to marry all the time, even from just working out (sweating).

      @@QueenEleem I started with braidlocs and just interlocked the roots. Some of mine have completely unraveled after washing, especially my nape area and my edges. The top of my head is the loosest 3c hair and those roots try to marry every week!! I'll have only had them for 2 months now. *I am using a 4 point clockwise rotation, wanted to add that. I have done two reties (one full 4 point rotation each time) and I am probably going to have to go 3 weeks for now until my locs are actually loccd bc I never go tight to my scalp and my hair grows fast.

    • @QueenEleem
      @QueenEleem  6 місяців тому

      The middle line won’t show really after install. I always make grids where all the parts line up, like a sisterlocks/Brotherlocks grid, to give a person maximum styling options.

    I finally got my microlocs. I wanted over 400...but the loctician insisted that sisterlocks and smaller microlocs "wouldnt work with my hair" so she installed 313 instead (I counted them because they never did). My hair is also 3b-4a, and I have a 4pt rotation. I'm only 2-wks in, and I have a lot of slippage and some gaps/holes in my locs already, she also left a LOT of hair out at the ends...like half the loc is loose hair in some of them. 🥲
    Edited to add: last year (2022) I cut off 28in of hair (down to a tapered cut, bald faded on sides 3-4in on top), to start this journey, and started my install with 11-13in hair.

    • @QueenEleem
      @QueenEleem  Рік тому +1

      Dang I’m sorry. That’s something I would always talk to my clients about before hand. my new excel spreadsheet allows them to get exactly how many they want. AND we know exactly how many they will end up with. From what I’ve heard there are plenty of loctician that give every person more or less the same number of locs bc they don’t want to reti over 400 locs…
