I have exactly 237 and I have never had to split or combine. I was shooting for 250, so I was satisfied with what I ended up with. Fun fact: I opted for 250 because I knew I didn't want traditional locks, but after watching an illegal amount of sisterlocks videos and hearing so many lament about how they wished they'd done fewer, I decided that 250 was a sweet spot - too small to be considered traditional, but few enough that if I ever had to do my retie myself I wouldn't end up giving up and shaving it all off. It'll be two years in October 2021 and I'm still yet to regret that decision.
@@LifeWithKosi But to be fair, not everyone has the luxury of opting for fewer locks. My hair is crazy full, so a lot of people assume I have way more locks than I actually do. For people with fine thin strands, 250 locks might not cut it if they are going for that full look.
Very true!! My sisterlocks consultant once told me that she would have people come in requesting to have a certain number of locs, but based on their head size & thickness of hair, she can't always promise a certain number.
Your hair is beautiful. Your volume in progress is amazing. I was guessing you were in the 500’s…. I’m at about 576 right now, was self-maintaining as needed… and it takes forever 😩! Lol about 16 hours . I started breaking up… going to see consultant in less than 2 weeks!
Thank you soo much!! Honestly, I thought I was in the 500s too..lowkey glad I'm not though lol. 16 hours?! 😩😩 I'm going to have to do mine for the first time next week, I hope it doesn't take too long 😅
Ayye congrats passing your exam. I know that relief girl. I love the new hair color btw!!!
Thanks so much chica!! ☺️
Hey Kosi! Your locs are really getting long, they're so pretty 😍 I have about 536 locs give or take 😆 thanks for this video ❤❤❤
Thank you!! Oh wow, I'd like to know how long it takes you to self-retighten once you start!
I have micro locs but i have 445. Your hair is so pretty. I retwist my micro locs because i have not patience🤣
Thank you! I've been wondering about retwisting, cause I'm also lacking patience lol. Are you able to tell a difference between that and interlocking?

Girl, you did it right! I sometimes wish I had requested a certain number of locs, to save time on reties
