I am a micro locs loctician in Orlando Florida, and so far your I like your method of micro locs Extensions the best. Because you are doing the feedin method which alleviates a lot of the tension from the root of the client's hair ❤❤

@@tabbylivvy can I add a photo? I would love to show them. I think they turned out great; however, I will suggest being aware of what type of hair you will use. I didn’t use the type of hair she did but I used the bulk human hair that you actually do locs with and while it turned out cute and as I wanted them. It’s now a year later and as my hair has grown and been washed over and over, some of the hair has slipped out but it’s okay because I plan to remove the hair as my hair grows out.

Love this! I’m doing my mom’s next month so I’ve been doing my research. What’s the length of hair you purchased? Also, what’s the tool used to interlock? I hope I used the right terminology.
These are beautiful. I've been braiding my hair for years, had sister locs for about 5 years and cut them (had a moment), the cost and maintenance was a bit much. So, now I want to go a little more traditional. This seems like a very good alternative. It looks like your starting off w/a small braid than going into the twist as you add in the hair, am I seeing that right? Follow up, do you twist or interlock after the initial install?

Hi!!! First I love your page! I have a question. So I recently did my own microlocs extensions almost a month ago and my extensions are starting to look a little weird. The start of where I inserted extensions lookings bulky compared to my roots,if that makes sense. Is there a way to fix it without taking it out and redoing it?
@ShardelHaden
Жыл бұрын
Hi! Thank you so much! ♥️♥️I truly appreciate your kind words! Yes that makes sense, so that means the hair added was probably a bit to much.. I think to be safe you might want to do it over because you don’t want to cause more weight on your scalp then you have to. That way you can prevent any thinning long-term.

Looks great so do you loop the hair like traditional braids ( I know these are micro locs) or feed it into your your hair. I won't these but we don't have loctitions in the town I'm in,so I'm going to try, I can do micro braids so going to try locs

Thank you so much for watching! That may mean you need to add a little more hair when you get to that point. You want to make sure the twist is gradually getting smaller, especially after passing you natural hair.

Hi, I love your work & have been considering microlocs. I read one loctician saying the extensions eventually come out as the hair grows which sounds weird but you say the human hair extensions starts to loc with your natural hair, that makes more sense.
When extensions are added to the locs in the beginning, does it cause the locs to be thin at the root and thicker down the length as they grow out? I know I will have shrinkage so I’m wondering if I should add extensions or be patient and let them grow naturally
@ShardelHaden
11 ай бұрын
So the trick is to make sure you're adding the right amount so that the loc gradually gets thicker just like it would without extension. If you add too much hair to a section that is to weak to handle it, that can cause thinning.

I do have a question? Whare are the pros and the cons on having microlocs extentions? My hair is very thin i tried to do them with just my regular hair it was hard. I was told it's easire to add extention to them for a fuller look? what is your feeling on that?
@ShardelHaden
Жыл бұрын
Okay, So I would say the pros are you get immediate fullness and some length. They also give you more options for styling. Cons.. I would say in the beginning some will portal slip out around the perimeter. Other than that I don't think there are any more cons. I think extensions would work great you just need to go to someone knowledgeable so that they aren't adding to much hair which can be stressful to your scalp in the long run.
Thank you so much for your information I'm in South Africa I haven't seen much of micro locs but I want to ask my hairstylist to do them for me. I have a question when installing the extensions what happens do you take them out then what happens to your locs cos I want this hairstyle permanent. Thank you ❤
@ShardelHaden
Жыл бұрын
Hi! Thank you so much for your comment! So the hair is intended to loc with your hair permanently. So you would not remove the hair at a later date. The key would be to add the correct amount so that the loc gradually widens as you get down to the end. Does that make sense?

Hi if the braids were started with a regular braid at the beginning , not a knotless braid and without interlocking during installation, how would you recommend taking care of them and avoiding bulking as they mature or slipping? Thank you! Sorry that was a lot😢❤
@ShardelHaden
Жыл бұрын
You would probably have to use really small portions of hair to be sure that the bulking doesn't happen. I wouldn't recommend that method because it will be harder to avoid the bulkiness. Can you share some more of your thoughts on the knotless method? Maybe why that method may not be your first choice?

Slippage happens no matter the install technique. It’s normal. You just put it back once it slips. It takes time for you hair to adjust to be in the style ☺️
Do you braid down to where their natural hair stops, then you start to twist, or do you do a few braids then you twist?
