@@meditationmama70 Hey! I ended up interlocking on the 1st of July so I'm 3 weeks in. The worry about lower density starter locs is very real but the best one can do is use test sets to their advantage. My mom installed my first set of twists and I ended up with around 210 and it didn't really give me the volume or size I was going for. So after a week, she split majority of the twists in half and I ended up with 373 and I was happier with the size. I didn't have the scalpy look but the volume wasn't really there that much either so I had to forget about that and put my attention on if the sizing was what I wanted. The reality is that you have to give it time to shrink and expand. And the shrinkage is real as well cause at this point, my hair shrunk down to 1/4 of the initial length but its okay because the volume is increasing. I can't lie, I have to remind myself to be patient with the process but its important to remember that everybody's hair is different even though it may be the same 4c hair and that the same sizing will result in a different loc count. The biggest lesson I have learnt is to embrace my individual journey while appreciating others. 🥰

@@shanicem.3596 thank you so much for the detailed response. If nothing else is learned it’s that this journey is truly personal to you and your hair.

Thank you!!❤

Thank you so much 🤗

I'm cutting off my small locs 5 yrs locd... they are too heavy and my roots are fine... going with micro locs..I think...

Thank you & they took 3 days (~3 hrs each day) my sister helped me interlock the roots and I did the mini twists myself.

@@skindeepwithabs1367 So for clarity, you did 2 strand twists as your starter locs and will retie using the sisterloc styled interlocking? If so, what will you rotation turning points be, 3 or 4? Also, did you cut your hair into that style for installation or was it already that shape? It is beautiful. Love from the UK.

Thank you!!
