    Hearing how you miss your afro is the ONE thing holding me back. Its such a symbol.

    You are living proof there is no "ugly stage" with locs. I know ppl say that but it's conjecture. Your hair was gorgeous day 1.

    I had loc’s for 11 months. I had several starter loc fails. My grid, twist, coils…. All failed because my hair bunched so much. After having them combed out and wearing my hair loose (2 months) I am going to try braid Locs. I now need to investigate if interlocking will work on braids bigger than micro. My hair is quite thick and I’m thinking smaller braid might be too much volume. Your hair is perfect!

After seeing your hair and some others of these beautiful microlocs, I will likely go the microloc route. It seems more manageable for me and my lifestyle than sisterlocs.

    What type of grid patteren did you use? I heard you mention the ones in the back are larger so it looks fuller. What is the large size and what is smallest size.
    Your hair is so gorgeous and healthy!

    • @keshia1390
      @keshia1390  Před 2 lety +4

      Thank you!! I kinda tried to follow grid patterns similar to the sisterlock grid. My grid is definitely not perfect but it works for me. For the sizes, I used a #2 pencil as my guide. I believe it's 1/4 inch. I tried to make the ones in the back about that size and the ones in the front a little smaller. But honestly, I kinda winged it lol. So I have different sizes everywhere.
      I hope this helped a little 😊
