Hey you!
My name is Verna, and I make videos all about micro locs. I had traditional locs for 6 years and big chopped back in October 2022. I started my DIY micro locs on September 29, 2023 and thought it would be a great idea to document the journey.

They are coming along nicely! So cute ☺️ Do you only go through once with the crochet hook when doing the retie?
@@brittanyr1456 Hi! Aww thank you so much! 🥰 I do a few rotations but I don’t really count lol. 😄
You’re welcome.. lol I get it but you gave me a good idea where to start.
@@brittanyr1456 Awesome! Good luck on your journey sis 🤗
#newsubscriber and fellow KZreadr that is also documenting my loc journey.
@@sylviag59 Hi there! Thanks so much 💗 your locs are gorgeous! I am now subscribed to your channel. God bless 🙏🏽
Just started my microloc journey!!!! I’m sharing on my channel if you’d like to check it out!!!!! I low key wish I would have done diy
Me too. Traction alopecia on top of thin edges from birth and two different hair textures. My goal is microlocs. I started two strand twists with extensions until my hair grows out. I'll keep cutting then down until it's all my natural hair. Thanks for the video. I'll be here, Sis. 😊
@@Mlambert56 Hey, sis! I can imagine having that condition can come with a lot of challenges. Styling hair has always been difficult with little hair on my temples so I can imagine your plight. But despite these conditions, microlocs have proven yet again they are for everybody! Good luck to you on your journey I just know it will be beautiful ❤️ and thank you so much for watching 🤗
Fellow sensitive edge girlie here. ❤ I love your hair! I’m also going for a bob length with my microlocs.
@@blufaerie Hey hun! Thanks so much! It’s definitely a struggle with these edges but we here! Yess we’ll get that bob length one day 😍💁🏽♀️
Yessss!! I have thin...low density thought 4c hair maybe 4A....bc its taking so long to loc!! Fine...natural hair! Your locs look great....keep up the good work!!
Yes! I think I do have 4a hair too! I low key get a little confused I think im somewhere between 4a and 4c. But thanks so much for the encouragement and good luck to you as well! 😍🙏🏽
Hi i like your size locs...it seem similar to my own size...I am only 6 months in...& patiently awaiting... I am battling w/ my side part...i think once my locs grow out more...i will love it...but i need more growth! I cant wait to do loc sprinkles!! Congrats to you!! Your locs look great!!
Hello lovely!! Aww thank you!! Congrats on your 6 month journey! I feel you because i feel like side parts look better with slightly longer locs. But we’ll get there! 😊🙌🏽
When you wash your hair when you wash your Locs use cold water
Love it. I have no grid. I like it that way❤
Right! It’s the best! thank you🤗
You might have to combine that one loc. I purposely made my locs near my edges larger because I knew I'd have the same issue. Looks lovely tho!
Thanks so much for the feedback. I might have to! It’s funny because I made the ones on my right side a little thicker bcus that side is weaker. I definitely should have focused on the left side too!
Are these small traditional or microlocs?
Hi! These are my version of microlocs but all together I have 182 locs. I think they could be called small traditional as well!
@mygirlv very cute!!
@@moniquedavis4136 thanks so much ☺️
I've been looking for locs like mine -- same color and size😊
Aw yay! 🤗 It is difficult finding a hair twin!
Every loc style you rock is pure perfection! 🥰
Aww thanks so much love!! 🥰🫶🏽
@@mygirlv You're most welcome! Check your email. We've got something exciting for you 🙂
These look nice ❤
Thank you! 🤗
Bleaching is always a problem you may not see it now but somewhere song the line, it will show. I lighten my ends years ago & trust me those ends are now breaking away not drastically but it’s enough to make me not want to do that again. Do I put a chest nut brown on instead and I love it. If your going to colour your hair stuck to the semi permanent so you don’t cause damage, btw locs looking great 👍🏾
Ooooh thank you for this information! I can imagine how it must have affected my hair overtime without me even realizing. But same as you, thats why I had to cut my first set of locs. Those ends were so damaged! But if I start to get the itch I would do the semi-permanent for sure. Thank you so much God bless! ❤️
Goodluck & trust your instincts. Weigh up what’s more important on your journey, healthy beautiful locs or colour/s which may or may compromise their health. ☺️🇬🇧
@@dionehowell8687absolutely! I think my instincts are telling me to just chill I gotta trust that! The health part is something I need to consider. Thank you for mentioning bcus in recent years they found out how perm chemicals cause so many health problems. I have to keep that in mind. Thank you hunny! Peace and love! 💕🤗
Your locs are coming along nicely😍. Give your hair a break from the color. See if you like the black/dk brown. If you change your mind down the road… color then 🤷🏾♀️.
Thanks so much for this validation! 🫶🏽 I feel the same way, I think i definitely need a break. I’ll do the natural for at least a while! 👍🏽
Nice locs! I love how we can get rid of locs and start over again if we like. I’m on my 2nd set after cutting my 3 yr bleached to death locs off last Aug. Wore my hair in weaves, wigs and braids for a few months. But decided hiding my hair with fake stuff just not for me anymore. So i am back in the loc game. There is another KZread channel where the lady explains how to get the look you want based on different density/thickness/thinness of hair. So I understand too how to get the look I want. Congrats to you!
Thanks so much! And omg I feel you, that bleach is bittersweet WHEW! I deff went through that cutting my hair off again, i was tempted to wear wigs but im like thats not me anymore! But so glad to hear your back on the loc journey its the best 🤗 and wow thank you for sharing that information i’m gonna look for it. It’s definitely a struggle when you want your hair to have at least the illusion of thickness. Good luck to you on your journey!
Your locs are growing and full. Very nice. 🤩
Thank you so much! 🥰
Did my braidlocs (micro) with no grid pattern. Love them! Yours look so good and fluffy.
Oooh nice! I wanted to start mine with braid locs but settled for the twists. Thank you so much! I know your hair must beautiful too 🤗
I love this video- straight to the point and very relatable.
Thank you so much 🤗
❤❤❤
Hi, im a new sub. Your locs look so mature. How do you maintain them?
Hi there! Thank you and thanks so much for subscribing! I’ve been getting them maintained professionally. But might maintain them myself once they get longer.
@mygirlv oh I've just watched the video you link in your description. Your method of starting loc might be why they mature so fast. From the looks of the video your locs look well maintained, rounded and no bumps or lumps and not too much frizz. I started locs 2 months ago with the inter locking method.
@@queenchelseaa thank you! Yes but its funny because I feel like they aren’t maturing as fast as my first set of locs! Congrats on your set of locs! 🤗 Interlocking is a great way to start the root stays nicely in tact!
I had 101 traditional locs for 3 years. Combed them out last month and just installed 180 locs yesterday! My hair was about shoulder length but excited to see how full it gets. I'll be following your journey. Yours look lovely!
Wow!! Just about the same loc count! That’s amazing I know your new journey will be beautiful. And thank you so much for following my journey, I really appreciate it! 🙏🏽🥰
All hair is made of same protein. I use inexspensive shampoo for Caucasian hair they only £2 (2$) a bottle & I’ve saved so much money! Try Herbal Essence daily detox shampoo cleans locs extremely well but does not strip it so it feels crunchy & it’s a clear shampoo that leaves zero residue. Once every few months I’ll use conditioner watered down as a treat, more to make me feel good as hair doesn’t need it. If you have TRESSEME products in USA then an alternative is their Replenish & Cleanse shampoo with green label. Like that too. But seriously no need for special shampoos geared for Afro hair when it’s loc’d just one that cleans it is needed. ☺️🇬🇧
Omg this is super helpful! I’m going to try herbal essence. The clarity you provided is refreshing, such a wealth of information. Thank you soo much!! Heeey UK!!😁❤️
Your welcome, if it’s not the ones I mentioned I hope you find a brand that works for you . Stick to clear shampoos to minimise buildup of products & I water mines down slightly too as it’s easier to apply through locs especially when they get fuller or longer . Let me know how you get on, bye now ☺️🇬🇧
@@dionehowell8687Im super late! But thank you so much. I can definitely see how a clear shampoo would be the best, i imagine its way healthier and you’ll have less buildup! I will be sure to give an update about the shampoo I finally settle on! Thank you again ☺️🙏🏽
Bless you I have similar hair diyed 180 locs almost 5 years ago. Wanted more but don’t think my hair would allow it it’s very fine strands & medium density- I also would hate longer reties. Your hair is lush stick with it you’ll be amazed at the transformation of you stay on journey. Good luck from your new uk 🇬🇧subby 😊
Aww thank you so much! This definitely validates how I’ve felt. Fine hair can really be tricky and the wait between the reties is tough since it’s so short! Thank you for the motivation 🤗 Ayeee the UK! 🇬🇧
Try tea tree shampoo and oil for the dandruff
Thank you! I will definitely try and find it next time I’m at the hair store
Your locs look great!! Have you done a loc count? I'm very interested to know how many you have for reference. Subscribed! 😊❤
Thanks so much! I mention it in my retie video like 153ish locs. It was kinda hard counting them so i’ll have to recount them again when they’re longer. Thank you for subscribing! ❤️
Thanks for sharing! I’m thinking about doing my own locs! Favorite K drama- Eternal Love and second favorite- Ashes of Love 😊😊😊
Absolutely! Im sure they will look fabulous on you if you get them! Thanks so much oooh im gonna check out these shows 🤗❤️
Beautiful
Thank you 🤗
