Beautiful work! I prefer this method…feeding in the hair to the braiding. I rather get the length they want instead of getting a shorter length and adding hair at the twist(tho it’s cheaper)run the risk of losing the hair at the twist point. I love this!
Awesome Job. I have a question I started my loc journey with braids on my natural hair that has since been interlocked. I'm 5 month locked. Is it to late to add human hair to the braided portion of my hair? I have to braid my ends at least once a month
@@kiasdunn5198 wellll it was. I took the braidsthatspeak summer course so I get a lifetime discount on 14 and 18 inch hair. Waaaaaay cheaper than exy and Amazon
I love your work. I was looking for the video for the more detailed install of the loc extension. I looked in the descriptions I didn’t see. I would love to see that video. Please.
Beautiful work! How many inches was the hair? I’m debating between 12 or 14 inches of exy hair. Also I have very very thick hair. How many bundles do you recommend?
Hello beautiful! I love your work, it’s beautiful! I’m curious, does your natural hair eventually buds through the hair that was added or it stays in a twisted state? Just curious 😊
Of course! I try to get through as many daily as I can! I actually have a class coming up in November. If you’re still interested, you can shoot me your email! Also, how did you install go?
I love you work. Question: when doing the edges of her hair in the front did you change the amount of hair you would normally add? Also, how many packs of hair did you use?
Beautiful job my questions how long can you get them to start off? I would like them 16 inches are longer even though my hair is about the length of your client that you just did is that possible
Just got mine done two weeks ago. Any tips on how to keep the extensions moisturized😩. I don’t mind the frizz and shrinkage but I don’t want to do the wrong thing😊🙏🏾
Congrats on starting your journey! I would suggest making sure you mist them mist daily, then seal with an oil. If you need something a little more heavier sometimes you can use this www.fabulocs.com/product-page/intense-moisture-therapy
I have one last question😩, What is your advice for girls with microloc extensions who workout in a sauna, I don’t want to damage my hair but also have a membership with this particular gym. I haven’t worked out since I got my Locs installed and it’s bothering me🙏🏾
I pretty sure it's probably treated some type way before packaging. However, there is no smell. You can always give the hair a apple cider rinse to clean off whatever might be on the hair
I loveee your work!! 😍😍 Question: I did micro twist with extensions 4 months ago. I would love to go permanent with human hair. Now to start over, should I take out all the braids and detangle my hair or is it possible to start over with the micro ‘braids’ already sectioned?
@ShardelHaden HI if I may ask. I started with synthetic so now my hair is about 3 and half inches loced and the ends are synthetic...can I cut the ends and add the afro kinki
I absolutely love the way your clients hair turns out! Do you perfer Exyhair or ManeTamedStudios? Which brands hair curls better and hold moisture better?
Thank you so much ♥️ hmmmm soooo if I had to pick it would be MTS. They are both really good so it’s very hard for me to say one of the other. I think they both hold moisture the same ☺️
Those are so beautiful ❤whenever I do mine they don’t come out this fluffy and I have a-lot of natural hair. I used the extension hair for length but somehow they still end up looking scanty… suggestion? 😂
Thank you so much! Are stretching the hair as you add it? also making sure as you twist down there is still enough hair? Send me pictures! braidsbyshardel@gmail.com
@@ShardelHaden I don’t have pictures, I took them down. Lol but I will try those 2 suggestions. I have been matching the density of the hair extension to my own density so maybe I need to use more extension hair
@@ShardelHadenok so I figured it out. When I’m feeding and twisting the hair it kind of breaks apart. In the video you have a full strand, mine never stays a full strand enough to just braid
Hello! Love you work! I had locs once before and had them instant loc’d with human hair extensions. I noticed odor in the hair. Is that about the type of hair being used for the extension or how frequently they’re being washed? Any thoughts would be helpful since I’d like to start again but don’t want to run into these issues. Also, I want extensions for length not thicknesses. Ideally I would start with two strand twists and have the extension start midway or further down the twist. Is that advised?
Hi! So first, please excuse the delay> I try to work my way through the comments as often as I can. As for the odor.. it could be anything. If you haven't already, try an apple cider vinegar rinse. I wouldn't advise adding the hair further down.. especially with twist.. they are more likely to slip.If you were think of getting braids then further down wouldn't necessarily be a problem.
I noticed you used a different type of brand this go around. Which do you prefer? Also, when you’re creating your grid what type of gel were you using in the beginning?
Thank you for your comment! So I actually prefer the Milky Way brand, and that’s only because it’s pre-stretched. It makes it easier to grab and add in. For my grid in the beginning I like to use a lightweight gel, I used shine n jam for this one ☺️
After the install, I spray water with lemon grass and tea tree essential oils in it on the hair. Then I add a moisturizing cream. My favorite one is from fabulocs and it’s called intense moisture therapy. Then I follow up with an oil! Done ☺️
You can definitely dye it but I would suggest either dyeing your hair beforehand or waiting til you locs are loc'd and secure so the dye doesn't ruin the integrity of your new locs.
I’m curious why don’t these new sister lic stylist put a cape on their client? One more question why didn’t you shampoo that new hair first, I’m just curious.
Hello! Im not a sister loc loctician, just want to clear that up first since they have to go through classes and do official things to be called that. Don’t want nobody coming for my head 😂 I use capes sometimes when it calls for it. But allot of times my clients were saying they were hot and stuff. I just use them when I really need them. I shampooed the hair and I just didn’t film it. I have a video that shows how I normally prep the hair. ☺️
would it be possible for me to use 16in in my hair for length without thinning my locs over time and weighing it down? how would i go about that? (medium density hair)
@@ShardelHaden I never knew this to now in today a lady told me it' kinda like your natural hair since it's going to loc but question I'm a guy I won't mines to look fuller in nature but don't see many guys rocking braids locs not box braids lol but can I inbox you need advice
Sorry I’m asking a lot of questions I’ve really been doing my research lol. But I don’t have to comb out the loc completely just the weave? And can I ask where your located?
No problem at all! Lol. The hair is added near the top so essentially if you decided to comb them out you would be combing the entire loc out. You can snip this as they grow though. I am located in Waldorf MD
Are used four packs. I suggest getting five because the hair can get a little annoying. Sometimes I’m going to post a video this weekend showing how to prep the hair. In addition this coming week I have an install so I will try to get some step-by-step clips to post.
Well, first, because the word tutorial is used a lot to find videos where people can learn things. Secondly, some people learn by watching, like I do. Thanks for watching!☺️

No you can totally add some to the braided section. Just make sure to use small bits of hair so not allot of extra weight will be added to the root!
Ohhh so it’s cheaper to add at the twist huh…I didn’t know that, thank you for educating me😊
@@kiasdunn5198 wellll it was. I took the braidsthatspeak summer course so I get a lifetime discount on 14 and 18 inch hair. Waaaaaay cheaper than exy and Amazon
I like seeing that you split the hair as your twisted it down.

One going up today! :)
I love watching these videos. I love seeing the perfect partsvand the results are always phenomenal!
Got confused abit about the adding the extension and twisting 😂😂 but now it makes sence
Beautiful work! How many inches was the hair? I’m debating between 12 or 14 inches of exy hair. Also I have very very thick hair. How many bundles do you recommend?
Thank you! It was 14in. I would recommend 5 packs
Hello beautiful! I love your work, it’s beautiful! I’m curious, does your natural hair eventually buds through the hair that was added or it stays in a twisted state? Just curious 😊
Hi! Thank you so much! The hair eventually buds together. It locs together
I’ve watched this video 2/3 times 😂 but if you make the twist smaller will they still lock or will it take longer like the braids
Lol… yes they will loc. How long it takes someone’s hair to loc depends on their own texture and daily care
Thanks answering questions I love that about you. Wish you did a class. I’m doing my 1st on on my friend today. I’m excited n nervous
Of course! I try to get through as many daily as I can! I actually have a class coming up in November. If you’re still interested, you can shoot me your email! Also, how did you install go?
@@ShardelHaden it went good. I messaged you on IG. I’ll send a pic there. I was looking for a sooner class 😕
Aww! I chose November because I really want it to be detailed and I want to give the students all the tools they need. Yes please send the pic!
Hello. How does this hair hold up overtime, with washing? I would like a permanent style?
Hi! So, in the beginning there is some slippage, of course. But as your hair locks with the hair, everything becomes uniform.
Congratulations on your suite! 🎉💚
Thank you so much 🥰🥰🫶🏾
I love you work. Question: when doing the edges of her hair in the front did you change the amount of hair you would normally add? Also, how many packs of hair did you use?
Thank you so much! Yes so where the hair is finest I use less hair.. trying to match the density of the area I’m in. It total about 4 packs
Beautiful job my questions how long can you get them to start off? I would like them 16 inches are longer even though my hair is about the length of your client that you just did is that possible
So far the longest I’ve seen then hair needed for this style is 18 inches. The hair is curly so the length is disguised of course

Hello😊....have you done a touch up on these yet? wanted to see the difference.
Yes, Ive actually done a few. Ill post an update about this install soon
Does this hair have any chemicals or fragrance on it that could cause
itching or irritation?
I pretty sure it's probably treated some type way before packaging. However, there is no smell. You can always give the hair a apple cider rinse to clean off whatever might be on the hair
Are you using any tools or just your hands throughout the process?

Do the extensions loc with hair or do they need to be taken out at some point ? so beautiful
Thank you so much ♥️♥️ they loc I’m with the hair
Hi Shar, I am wondering about the take down process. Assuming I keep this in for 4-6 mths, can I take the locks out and avoid damaging my hair?
Most likely this is permanent
Hi! These are intended to be permanent. You can’t ask them out with water and allot of conditioner.
Do you lock the hair after or do you wait until its time to do a retie
They hair locs on its own

Thank you! Yes :)
What all products do you spray on after install?

Beautiful work!!! Love it! How many packages did you used?
Thank you so much! Of the salt and pepper I used about 4 bags, and the black about the same
Congratulations! I love your work. I just have a question. When you do the grid are you using shine-n-jam to define the parts or a specific gel?
Thank you so much! 🥰🥰🥰 Yes shine n jam… I like to use a light gel that doesn’t leave any build up
@@ShardelHaden thank you!!!
Where are you located I came across your channel and you do great 👍🏿 work
Thank you so much! I am located in Waldorf MD
What is the maintenance called for this ? Like retie? Can they be as long as you want
Yes, it’s a retie. Essentially yes, depending on the length of the extension hair that is available
Beautiful, how long did it take?
Could this be done on shorter hair ? I want to start my loc journey but my hair is hella short
Roughly, what length?
You did a beautiful job . I just ordered my exy hair. Did you put any products in her as you were twisting? If so what did you use?
Thank you so much! Nope.. if anything I may have misted her hair with a little water during the process.
Pleeeeease post a more in-depth video about adding hair to the twists , sincerely a stay at home mom diy-ing her microlocs
Got you!! Working on it ♥️
Love your work! How many packs of hair do you recommend for the whole head
Thank you so much! About 4 but I buy 4 just to be safe
So buy 4 packs or 5 altogether for a full head?
@SunnySunShine411 I would suggest 5 to be safe.
🤎 Where are you located, you take such care in your technique I Love It!!!
Thank you so much! Waldorf Md 🥰
When do you recommend washing the hair? 🥺
After a fresh install? about 4 weeks after or as needed with the proper precautions
With extensions, can I still dye my hair or is it not recommend?
You can definitely dye it but I would suggest either dyeing your hair beforehand or waiting til you locs are loc'd and secure so the dye doesn't ruin the integrity of your new locs.
How many packs did you use on her install 😊?
Well for the all back sections I used about 4 packs. For the salt and pepper section I used about 3 packs all together
Thank you 😊
Altogether you had 7 packs of hair? If your doing a regular extensions, how many packs would you use?
I got this hair but I don’t know if I’ll like it. When it dries, the hair gets stiff. Did it happened to your client’s hair?
If that has happened to my clients I make sure we make some changes to their hydration routine. That's helps with that issue allot
@@ShardelHaden what do you suggest for hydration?
I cut my locs off, but I saved them. Is it possible to turn them into micro locs?
What do you mean by salt and pepper
Are you twisting the hair as you twist (if that makes sense)
No just a regular two strand twist
I’m curious why don’t these new sister lic stylist put a cape on their client? One more question why didn’t you shampoo that new hair first, I’m just curious.
Hello! Im not a sister loc loctician, just want to clear that up first since they have to go through classes and do official things to be called that. Don’t want nobody coming for my head 😂

Is there a texture offered to match 3b/3c hair?
I think familocs on amazon has a bit of a curlier texture.. that brand would probably work best for this texture
would it be possible for me to use 16in in my hair for length without thinning my locs over time and weighing it down? how would i go about that? (medium density hair)
You want to make sure you’re adding a safe amount to each section. That will help prevent long term thinning
So its moreso the amount of hair in each section rather than the length of the hair?@@ShardelHaden

I have a question does the extensions grow with your hair? Do they get longer as your hair grow or will you constantly need to add hair?
The hair locs with your hair… you don’t need to add anymore hair. Your hair will grow with the extension hair locing into it.
@@ShardelHaden can you removed them if you wanted to once you start the process?
Yes.. it would be the same as combing out locs
Sorry I’m asking a lot of questions I’ve really been doing my research lol. But I don’t have to comb out the loc completely just the weave? And can I ask where your located?
