4 Months of Microloc Growth

So this is my second time locing my hair. My first go round I had traditional locs and they were a beauty but I had a fateful moment with hair dye and decided to chop it all off and start over! This go round I really wanted to do microlocs because I just love how beautiful and versatile they are! I also dyed my hair on my own this go round and was so pleased with the outcome. I’ve done so many colors but I think red might be it for a while 😍 Anywho come a long with me on this journey because I really want to document it this go round! #microlocjourney #locjourney #locsjourney #Lemon8Diary

... Read moreMicrolocs are an increasingly popular choice for individuals seeking both style and versatility. Not only do they offer a unique aesthetic, but they also require different maintenance compared to traditional locks. It’s essential to research the various methods of creating microlocs, which can include sisterlocks, traditional methods, or interlocking techniques. Understanding the journey of growth can help you appreciate the time and effort it takes to maintain your locks. For those considering making the switch to microlocs, it’s also vital to consider hair care products. Look for lightweight moisturizers that won't weigh the hair down, and consider oils that will nourish the scalp without causing buildup. Color treatment is another exciting aspect, as many people love to express their individuality through different shades, ensuring to use color-safe products to protect your hair's integrity. Ultimately, tracking your microloc journey is not just about documenting hair growth but celebrating your unique style and the beautiful transformations along the way.

I Started My Microlocs Journey!!
I am super excited!! I tried traditional locs in November and had 98 locs. Although I liked how they looked I took them out. This was because the lady didn’t listen to anything I wanted. She was very unprofessional and did my hair how SHE wanted and not how I requested. I went to her because she wa

Saying it louder for the ones in the back who want to “wait until their hair get longer to loc it” Your hair will grow 10x faster having locs due to the fact your ends are not open. There is no shredding with locs so you keep all our hair shed hair instead of “loosing hair” plus locs are sort o
