Expensive o, micro locs is luxury at this point. I’ve pushed my reties to 8-9 weeks. After a retie I rock my locs for 2-3 weeks then make knotless braids and rock that for another 4-5 weeks cause I didn’t come to this life to be retieing hair 🙈

I installed my own microlocs starting off with 2 strand twists. 7 years down the line I retighten my locs [at the root] on average once every 5-6 weeks it takes about 1.5/2 hours. If i leave it longer than that it takes too long for my patience. My hair is thriving with the locs, best thing I've done for my hair. And i can still wear my wigs if i fancy a change.

I definitely think you should be willing to learn how to do your own reties and be prepared to do them yourself if you get microlocs. The pool and availability of high quality locitcians is very limited. If a scheduling conflict occurs you will be in a tight spot. My philosophy is if a novice is going to do my hair that novice will be me.🤣 In most places there is no licensing for a locitcian i.e. no standard of uniform practice. Take what you are told with a grain of salt and in light of what you know about your own hair.

Very sound advice and so many people choose to do their own reties for this very reason. Although I’m honest enough with myself to know that’s not an option for me. I have no desire to do my own reties and If I had no alternative I would actually just pick another hairstyle.

I must say, microlocs have been the most freeing for me as far as styling. I used to think it was limiting as well, but protective styles are taxing, and straight hair is boring to me 🤣 so I never saw myself wanting to go back to all that. I always tell people if you get to a point where you no longer want to switch things up, then go ahead and get locked up.

i’m definitely not at the point where i don’t want to switch things up, but i still decided it was worth it to lock up. in my opinion, the only three styles you really CANNOT achieve with microlocs are like a slick pony, fulani-type braids, and a sew-in. anything other than that i’m still doing on my hair! box braids, twists, faux locs, and wigs satisfy my desire to switch it up plenty! i agree, my own hair straightened was boring me, if i want straight hair i’d much rather a wig regardless, so i’m still completely pleased with my options

I saved money by switching from weaves to microlocks. The initial installation is an investment. But over time, it pays off. I even use less hair products.

I gave my kids microlocs based on their requests. I have some use with my hands so I installed their locs and I maintain them myself. I too have locs and my husband and I do everyone's hair in my family. It's a lot of work but it's fulfilling especially when everyones hair is freshly done and feeling themselves. Water is best for your scalp and can seal with your favorite oils. This works best for my family.

There’s so much misinformation on locs in general because there’s no studies or data on the process!!!

@@Ifeyinwa AND reties are 170 for the 1st 3 hours and $80 an hour after that. And if I wait to long between I will get an over growth charge of another $80

I had a consultation this week for a installation which was fine but the quote for future retie is what shocked me £130 😓😭 bruhhh I was so sure i wanted them until that price sheesh. Where do you go for reties?

Oh wow that’s a lot, I’ve linked my locticians in my description box

It’s not permanent ! I saw a great video a girl just 2 strand twisted them together and that like halved the amount. Using the 2 strand method to create a larger loc!

Hey I think you missed my point . Iwas about taking your locs out, not transforming microlocs to bigger locs.

The girls are charging 1500 up for this style. Then the retwist are 200 and up. But they are beautiful!

Thank you so much!

Sorry London😢😢

Hear Hear, the options are soooooo limiting and annoying. I think because the locticians know they are high in demand, they are so laid back.

The skill seems hard to learn and it takes time. I am available in Newcastle tho

Dang $110 for that is literally dirt cheap

Who is your loctician in London, if I may ask?

Definitely check with your loctician before getting box braids, it’s not advisable until your locs are mature.
