Hey ya'll, Happy Easter! I have been thinking of doing something different to my D.I.Y #Microlocs for a while now. I'm kind of all over the place in my #hairjourney and I just wanted to document my thoughts not only for myself, but for ya'll as well! Not only have I been having thoughts of combing my locs for a bigger size, but I also have the urge to dye my hair (not my entire head, maybe just some highlights or the tips). Anyways, I hope you all enjoy this video, let me know what you think in the comments below.

For the look you’re going for I would say start with combing 2 at a time cause you gotta keep in mind that your locs are going to swell up over time and what you’re seeing now is not the final look. If after a while you want them bigger you can combine them again

@TyKaraAnn 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you ❤️

@JourneyWithAjah 4 жыл бұрын

This is a decision I could support. I love how many locs you have now, but I think you would find it easier to do your own hair if you had less. They also might loc faster. To still have that look you're gong for, I'd probably only combine 2 at a time, then you'd go down to 322 locs which is less than what I have. Using your edges to see the size isn't a great idea because everyone's edges are a little more sparse than the rest of their head.

@Merikara2 4 жыл бұрын

I agree with this. If you combine them in two's you'll still have the same basic look and a lot less retightening work. But if you go into 3's and/or 4's then over time your locks will be quite a bit bigger as they grow out.

@suttyra12 4 жыл бұрын

I think not seeing a difference in combining two locs is a good thing. That means if you combine them by two, it won't be such a drastic change. So you maintain basically the same look with half the work, unless thats not the look you're going for. i think your hair is beautiful.

Lavenia combined her sister locks (480 -> 150 or something) and they look traditional. You probably don't want to combine more than 2 for micro locks. Your locks still might expand. My loctition told me that my locks will end up around the size of the part

@IAmKimmyM 4 жыл бұрын

Leave your edges small. Combine the locs in the middle top, middle middle and middle back of your hair. This way you’ll end up having a bit over 400 locs. I recommend that you combine two locs each, not three or four. Maintain your microlocs status. Your hair will gain volume overtime so combining locs won’t be compromising too much. No dyes. You will damage your locs.

@tonimony1jay837 4 жыл бұрын

you seemed disappointed that the combined lock looked the same but if you're happy with the appearance and combining 2 at a time gives you half as much interlocking it's probably a no-brainer. since combining 2 gives you half as much work with the same look, it's probably a good idea. I have around 540 locs and some of them are infuriatingly tiny when I'm interlocking x

I totally support whatever decision you come to with your hair. When combining though just remember that they'll still swell up a little more after you combine them. So I'd say maybe go a little bit smaller than the size you'd want them to end up. Other than that, do you gurl. 👍💖

@mishaytv 4 жыл бұрын

You have very curly hair like mine. Thicker at the bottom is normal for women who start their locs with long hair and have curly hair. Don't be worried. Once your hair is mature and you have a trim you won't even notice that much. Your skinniest locs will take the longest to loc because there are not many strands for it to tangle with. I have about 590 sisterlocks, I'm two years in and I started with 16 inches of hair. My skinniest locs are still not closed on the ends whereas the slightly bigger ones already have. Either way you go, you will have small locs and will get to enjoy the no detangle life. Until you are sure just hang in there because when it is time you will know.

But I have always thought that yours are very small, and that I couldn't do this size, so I totally agree with you combining them. I would say maybe three locs, because you still get the small locs looks and it will be down to about 400 and something since some of them are already the size of three. But, it's totally a personal decision, so I understand and support whatever you decide

Truth be told, I watched your journey for months and I loved your curls and your volume, but after going to my loctician and doing my own research, I've come to the conclusion that tiny locs tend to be more fragile, and ultimately, a lot of people end up combining when they have so many.

They are gorgeous as is though so...

I wouldn't do it! They look so gorgeous and unique. I would learn how to retighten them yourself. It may take time to do it, but the better you get at it the faster the reties will go. Locs do swell over time you might not like the thickness later.

Another thing that my loctician did was to add human hair to the parts of my hair that keep coming undone. Worked like magic :)

@queenbeethatme100 - no, I have microlocs

@shernaeh719 4 жыл бұрын

I think if you combine just two together you’d still be able to keep your overall look/ volume and 300 something micro locs is absolutely doable. They’ll swell up over time... buuuut if you want them to look more like that girl’s locs, then you’d combine like 4ish each. Just depends on if you want your current look and just want to make retightenings easy OR if you want a new look completely... micro vs traditional locs. Support you either way 🙌🏾

@@jadebaynes323 After I micro twist (not loc) I wet my hair in shower or with spray bottle and then add gel. I have 4a hair type.

Your locs look better than any “sister locs “ that I’ve seen..... I absolutely LOVE them but, I also don’t have to do the maintenance lol....

Your locs are TINY! I'm just afraid for the base of your locs..especially when they start growing longer and having weight. I would combine a few, combine 3. They will swell and you will still have volume. #sisterlocked

I think combining would be a great idea! It’ll save you a ton of time and you’ll be able to maintain them yourself . I liked the combined look with 3 or 4 locs 🙌🏾 . Let us know what you decide !
