    I’ve taken to combining a few locks. I snip the two headed dragons and attach the cut loc to a shorter loc. It is kind of fun finding a matching loc ans attaching them. I did my first one so well I kept having to find it! It was weirdly fun.

  • @veronicagdowning

    Please tell me what kind of hair you are using (brand name and type of hair). Most people use a type of hair that looks so stiff and frankly looks synthetic. I am attaching loc extensions to fix my bangs that I cut a year ago. ❤ Your loc extensions looks like actual previously grown hair!!!! Please tell me what kind you used so I can find it. Thank you!

    I am just trying to figure out what's the minimum length of hair, in order to get loc extensions. I had a high-top fade for several years and now I am growing out the sides and the back of my head. Right now, there's 2 1/2 inches of growth. Long enough to flat twist. But I am unsure if I could start the lock extensions now.
