No y’all because this really and truly happened to me!!! I had sister locks during the pandemi, and I had no idea how to do those sister locks and you spent a fortune to start them anyway so I ain’t wanna mess them up. Y’all when I tell you that we outside retie was HELL (heaven at the same time cause if you know you know *flips hair*) but y’all fr.. and then I love my Ms.__, I still do that’s my Pooh, but yeah she charged us for it. My reties won’t cheap to begin with y’all.. So fast forward to present day.. I’m starting my microloc journey today independently.

If you’re worried about borders and edges, consider having bangs established with your locs. I did and edges are no longer a matter for color neceen.

SAME. I went to a sisterlock consultant and told her I wanted them bigger. I ended up with about 250. When she was done she asked me when I wanted to come back for my first retie. I gave her the monkey puppet meme side eye and gave her a date, but I texted her later and canceled because I never planned on paying others to do my reties lol. I've done them myself from the very first one. It is sooo freeing!! So much less time than when I was a loose natural and my hair was always in two french braids then.

How did you start your hair?... I interlocked my hair 2 years ago and took them out cause i missed my lose hair 😂 Now I want my locs back but i don't want to take a week to do it again, so I'm thinking about braiding the base and two strand twisting the legnth.

I started with interlocking the whole way down. My hair is naturally really curly and I exercise a lot so my hair would have unraveled. Plus I knew my locs would mature slowly and didn't want it braided.

It's such a huge price range. Mine cost a little under $300 but I have heard of pricess well over $1000. Then if you pay someone ro retie every 4-8 weeks, that can range from $100-300.

I've heard that the method of locing is different. Microlocs are interlocked at the roots with two strand twists, whereas sisterlocs are started from the end of the hair and interlocked to the roots.
