Thank you ❤️I have been debating on this for awhile . I am over weaves and braids
No problem! Are you thinking about getting locs ?
@@microlocsandmore yes I am ❤️
Same
Is there a date in mind?
@@microlocsandmore I’m
I'm about to begin my loc journey! I'm so excited. I can't deal with my natural hair and I'm tired of weave. I'm looking forward to this next stage in life where many things are changing for the better! #Liberating 💞
If that’s your motivation you will LOVE locs! 🙌🏾 I have never more FREE!! Best thing since sliced bread!
Checkin in: how's the loc journey been?
Nice to hear you explained the definition of fine hair. Some people think fine and thin are the same. Fine is the texture like coarse hair is the opposite texture. It's the feel of the hair. Thick and thin are the density of hair. The number of hairs on your hair.
Exactly! It is a misconception.
Very informative video. I have 22 inches of 4b/4c hair with fine strands but of high density and when I went for my consultations (I booked 3), only one loctician, in my opinion, was knowledgeable and/or honest enough to let me know my strands are too thin and would absolutely advise against me getting sisterlocs. She then proceeded to do test microlocs and they were gorgeous and strong, even to the point that the second loctician I went to complimented the ones the first loctician did. Needless to say, I trusted the first loctician to do my install! Make sure you do your research ladies!
Yes! Do your research and ask questions!
How did they turn out? Are you happy with your install
@@ShelbySteele23 unfortunately I haven't gotten anything done as yet. I'm a front line worker, and have been in ppe from head to toe, it's not wise to start them yet, as I am not sure how they will mature being covered 8-14hrs of the day! Soon and very soon 😩
Micro less time 8-330 was install time and 2.5-3 retie with wash and additional hr for color versus 4-5 hours each retie
Who installed your micro locs?
I believe you just have convinced me to take the plunge to get Microlocs over Sisterlocs!! I'm so excited to start the process soon! Beautiful :)
Thank you! Either way you should have a beautiful journey as long as you pick a good consultant (or start them with a good foundation yourself). As well as follow the sound advice that's out there to prevent your locs from unnecessary mishaps (some will happen even if you do everything right but those are typically fixable ex. slippage). I'm excited for you!!
Doing my research on sister locks ... let’s see if I’m still interested at the end of this video 😂😂
What are your thoughts?
@@microlocsandmore I think i still want sister locks
I am scheduled to get sisterlocks on July 21st and 22nd. I am so excited to begin my loc journey!
You will love it! Just remember it's a journey and don't give up on the less than perfect moments!
I'm scheduled in a couple weeks. 3 days installment. I'm starting with 14 inches. I can't wait...
I have sister locks. I have been on this journey for 2 years and 4 months. Started with 3.5 inches and now it is shoulder length. Your hair is so healthy. Enjoyed your vlog and it was very informative!
Thank you💗! I started with 6 inches a year and 9 months ago. I'm looking forward to collarbone length so I can increase styling options but still enjoying my barely grazing 😜shoulder length too!
You answered all the questions I had! I’ve been debating between Sisterlocs & Microlocs! Thank you so much!!
Awesomeness! If you have more questions feel free to ask.
Thanks guys for all the feedback on this video! I feel a community forming! I would love for you all to view my latest Q&A Video and leave any additional questions you have about my microlocs! I hope you'll also like, subscribe, and hit the notification button for new video alerts!❤❤
Thank you so much for this video! I was already leaning towards microlocs and this just solidified it for me. You addressed many of the concerns (fine hair, availability of SL consultants) that I have! I'm so happy that I stumbled upon this video!
Glad it addressed some of your concerns! When are you thinking of starting?
@@microlocsandmore I'm growing out a tapered cut so I'm waiting for my sides to get longer. But I have a appt soon with my hair stylist who is also a loctician so I'll see what she says!
@@nccurlygirl Hey checking in. How did your appointment go?
@@microlocsandmore Thanks for asking, it went well! I'm going to get some color in April and do another length check. But I think I'll be able to get them in installed in May or June!
I have fine hair and am researching sisterlocks and now microlocs. Thank you so much for making this video!
Thank you for watching! I hope you find additional answers in your research that help you make an informed decision. I recently uploaded a Q&A frequently asked questions video that you may also find helpful. Keep me posted!☺
Did you decide to get them?
@@lisacowens79 Yes, I'll be 2 years locked next month!! 😁 I went with microlocs
Yes! So glad I ran across this video. I have soft, fine hair as well. Thank you for posting this!
💕💕💕
Thank you. I am trying to decide. I’m leaning towards microlocs. I’m very excited!
No problem! Do you have a date in mind?
Thanks for this video. I'm on year #2 with my micro locs and I love them. Like you I contemplated for about a year. Then I pulled the trigger. My install took 7 hrs.
Thanks for watching! I'll be 2 years on 3/24! It took about 15 hours for me over 2 days.
Excellent content 👍 thank you this was extremely helpful. I was trying to decide if I should do sisterlocs or microlocs. I have fine hair, now I'm sure microlocs is the way to go. ♥️
Thank you!! Glad it brought you clarity!!
And just like that, this beautifully detailed video has eliminated my confusion. Micro locs it is! Thank you, thank you!
Awesome! When do you plan to start your journey?
I feel like the people saying sister-locks are expensive are not going to certified sister locks consultants, I heard one girl say she was quoted $2100 and her hair is 5 inches, FOH that’s insane
sister locks has a set price that they follow. I believe it’s 600 for the first 4 or 6 inches and $100 for each additional inch and then your first follow up is FREE
If the first follow up isn’t free and you are paying more than I wrote then your hair dresser is not certified
$2100 is a lot. Maybe it depends on the location and demand? The price you are stating for sisterlocks sounds more accurate and was close to what I would have paid had I give that route.
I love your locs and your space buns!❤️ Thank you so much for sharing.😊
Thank you!💕
Best video so far in my research! 🥰💗💗💗💯
☺Aww thanks! So glad it was helpful!❤
Thank you so much for this! I think I’m leaning more towards micro locs now! ❤️❤️
I'm glad you found some insight! Either way choose what's best for you!💗
You will love micro locs. I get confused for Sister locs all the time.
@@maudinerichardson3361 same. I have to constantly correct people.
All of this is accurate! The loctician that I have met is going to charge close to $1000 for the install if you have 3 inches of hair and $100 per extra inch of hair for Sister Locs. I had micro Locs in the past and it cost me $300 for the install and that was about 10 years ago. I did have them unraveled over a period of 70 hours and four people. It was insane to say the least. Now that I am knocking on the door at 40 I am ready to take the jump again this time permanently. I personally enjoy changing my hair all the time too! I agree with all of the reasons you mentioned!
Do you have a timeline to start the journey again?
Love your energy beautiful💖 And the information in this video is outstanding. Thank you😉
Thank you!
Thank you so much. I have been debating on this since my big chop this is very helpful. You helped me to decide which way to go.
Good luck on your new journey. Keep me posted!
thank you ! i’m very very new to this but super interested in getting locs , thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching! Feel free to ask any questions!
Am a new subscriber, came across your channel as I was doing my research for sisterlocs, am in NC and new to this hair community, thanks for your very informative video
Thanks for subscribing! Glad you found something helpful!
😊 Thank you so much! I have been researching for 1 yr now about which would be best for me. Helpful information! Thx again 🤗
No problem! I’m glad it helped. Hopefully you’ll find more of the answers you’re looking for. If my videos on my channel don’t answer what you need feel free to ask and I’ll share what I know!😀
I’m leaning towards micro locks. Getting all the information. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching. Let me know when you decide to take the plunge!
I’m so glad I found this video! I have a consultation for micro locs this week.
Thanks for watching! Good luck on your consultation!
That’s great. Leaning towards micro locks. I don’t like the idea of forcing a certain amount of locs to meet a requirement. That’s not great for everyone.
Agreed. Locs should be based on your hair’s needs vs a quota. This is why you need someone honest to do your install.
The mini interlocking journey is what I do. Love them. I am appreciating your knowledge of the 5 rules, which I can use when explaining to future clients and anyone who asks. It is very important to know what you are getting before you start. I do not call the locks sister locks, because that is not what I do. I am not a person certified to do sister locks.
A person must understand -- cost and time are very important.
Thank you so much. Like you I have been on the hunt for 2years now viewing pages and doing research. Thank you because today someone informed me about microlocks as well and you confirmed. Thank you I’m ready to make my decision now. Blessings to you!
Good luck on your journey? Do you know when you plan to install?
@@microlocsandmore yes I want to install this year.
@@candisesimelton Exciting! Keep me posted!
Informative! Thank you. I am more ready now. I cant wait to start. I am diefinitely leaning towards diy microlocs. Thank youuuu
No problem! I'm excited for you! Do you have a date in mind?
Great job! Your explanations were very well explained!
Thank you!
Thank you so much! This was helpful.
I love the way she speaks.
Edit: i didn't even know there was a difference.
Watching from Ghana.
Hi, I do have sisterlocks installed in my hair and I was 2 years on my locked journey on February . Thank you for the information
Glad it was useful.
Love your video. I’m thinking of getting certified. I love seeing ans doing the traditional locs but this is a game changer. I’m a licensed cosmetologist who lives in Las Vegas and it tough to fine a place to get certified. But great video
Thank you so much! You should look into it!
Thanks for this! Just combed out one of my thiccccc locs after watching this video…gonna start over with microlocs!!
Thank you for sharing! Are you going to install them?
Thank you so much for this, I have been betting on what to do,microlocs or sisterlocs. I too have fine hair like yours. Thank you for helping me decide...
So glad you got clarity. Keep me posted on your journey!
Great video info 🥰👐👐🏾! You've finally convinced me to do micro locs over the sissy locs thing though😅😅😅👌🏾 due to all the mentions. I'll definitely be installing mine before summer this year and looking foward to enjoying this journey. Thank you for the info😘
Good luck on your journey! So glad the info was helpful! Feel free to ask me questions.
Informative. Thank you for this. I’m thinking micro locs will be my choice.
Glad to provide some insight to help you in your decision! Both look awesome!
Thank you for the transparency.
No problem! If you have more questions let me know!
I’m stalking people on RUclips about six months now lol
😂😂You do what you have to do!😜
i've been staking almost 2 yrs now
Me too!!
This is helpful! I am contemplating getting locs like yours.
I'm glad it helped!
Thanks for the clarity, think iv made up my mind.
Keep me posted! Good luck!
Thank you for the video. I don't have locs but I am leaning in the direction of micro locs once my hair grows out. I have been cutting my hair for a while now and I'm ready to let my hair grow back out to a nice length. I have been watching videos for the last few days to get get more info
Thank you for watching! I hope my channel begins to answer more of your questions. Feel free to ask me any questions and I’ll help the best I can!!
I wanted sister loc for a good minute but I did like you did and did my research. I have tried to do my own hair with micro twist and even had them professionally twisted. Soft hair. I tried interlocking my hair. I am trying it for the last time going to consultant next week. I love changing my hair as well but when I had them in liked it so much better.
Let me know how it goes!
thank you so much! i am considering, and this has definitely helped.
Glad it helped!
Great video you answer all my questions and concerns again thank you very much...
So glad it helped you!
Looking forward to my microlocs journey!! 2weeks down- years to go🥰🎉
💕💕💕love it!
Very helpful video. I have been debating between Sisterlocks and micro locs for some time now. Not to mention, the word “micro locs” is/ has been used interchangeably to describe sister lock-type locks not done by a certified sisterlocks consultant, versus this type of loc in the video. So things have been a bit confusing. But now that I have gained some clarity from this video, I feel like I know know which direction I’m headed in my future loc journey. Thanks!
Glad you got your clarity! It can be confusing. Keep me posted on your journey!
Thank you 🙏🏽 I have fine hair but it’s a lot.
This video is very helpful. I too was leaning toward sister locks but as I’ve been researching I’m now more thinking it will be microlocks.
I literally changed my mind in the chair of my consultation!😜 Keep me posted on your journey!
I have microlocs and am documenting my journey on my channel as well. I'm subscribing to follow and support your journey. Your hair is beautiful. Mine get mistaken for sisterlocks as well.
Thank you so much! I just subscribed back. We can support each other along this journey!
@@microlocsandmore thank you so much. I would love that. I'm in the process of working on more content to upload to my channel.
I have microlocs. Two months locd. I started with two strand twist. Had to go to a braider to twist them cause i am awfall at sectioning. But i will manage my hair by interlocking
How has your experience been with the two strand twist staying loc'd especially after washing?
Thank you. I’m currently deciding…leaning towards microlocks too.
Do you have a timeline for when you plan to “loc” it in (pun intended)😜? In all seriousness, putting a date on it helped me not to continue to delay.
1 your background is beautiful, lol I had to say that. 2, your microlocs are beautiful, love the look.I been on my journey for 11 months and I went with Microlocs over sisterlocs as well.
Thank you for the compliment on the background and my locs😜! How are you enjoying your journey?
Thanks you for explaining the difference between the two locs. I made decision, microlocs, time and cost
No problem! Glad it was useful! Good luck!
Thank you for sharing… you helped me confirm my journey… wish me luck
Good luck! When do you plan to loc?
Thanks I was scheduled for sisterlocs. But you helped me decide on microloc because I also have fine hair.
Glad you found helpful info. Keep me posted on your journey!!
Thank you for all your advices ... think I will go with microlocks 💛😊
No problem! Glad it helped!
It doesn't matter how long your hair is it takes my consultant 2 hours to retighten my sisterlocks. My cousin also has sisterlocks she has 550 her's is at bra strap. It takes her sisterlock consultant 2.5 to 3.5 hours to retighten hers. You have to trust the process. Sisterlocks double/swell over time. I also have fine hair.
You definitely have to trust the process! How has your journey been with fine hair?
Thank you. That was very good information!
So glad it helped!
Thank you for the info. I’ll still doing my research.
Awesome! Let me know if your have any more questions!
Thank you💚💚💚.
So glad you made this video
Thanks for watching. I'm glad it provided some value for you!
@@microlocsandmore so is there a different technique to SL then? All I want is a grid or clean, parted look! You may have sold me on microlocs!!
Yes. I love this video. I love you now. Like your my sistar!! I think I will be getting microlocs now!!! Thank you
Awww thanks sister! ❤️Reach out if you have more questions !
Thank you so very much for this information! Micro locs it is !!!
Good luck on your new journey! Keep me updated!
Thanks for the information, I have been considering sisterlocs for a few years but as you stated the price & time was causing me to figure out what would be better for me. I have an appointment tomorrow to have microlocs. Your microlocs looks very nice. Thanks for helping me to decide because I also have very fine hair
How exciting on your upcoming appointment!! Keep me posted!
Hello Microlocks and More, I don't have either one, but I am considering both. I agree they both are beautiful. However, I am not a loctician nor a sisterlock consultant, but I think I can tell the difference. I bottomline want my tresses to look their Best with the least amount of money and time possible. I would need a professional to do my touchups. Thanks for the good information---things to consider as I make my decision 🙂
Thank you so much for this very precise information....I never considered microlocs however I'm not a person who likes to sit a in chair for a long time
..I will certainly bring this question up afnmy consultation Tomorrow
Glad it helped!
Thanks so much, I was thinking sisterlocs but now I'm thinking microlocs
Glad you gained some insight that gave you another option. Either way it's a great choice!
👋🏾 Hi...New subbie! I'm growing out my hair from a boy cut to get DIY micro locs. So I'm here for ALL the tips!😁 Your hair looks beautiful!
Thank you! How many inches do you plan to grow before you start your journey?
@@microlocsandmore well, I'm not too sure. Right now I'm at 2 1/2 - 3 inches. I'd like to have at least 2x that length. So at least 6 inches I guess.
Thank you for this! I appreciate you! I have my sisterloc consultation appointment tomorrow! I am leaning towards microlocs, because I don't think I want 600 locks on my big head. But I have a huge head and full of hair. I would like to be able to sometimes do my own retie, and I don't think that 600 is the answer! I think I would be better with about 300-350 locks. Plus, I didn't realize the price thing that you said... I thought they would cost about the same. I will definitely be questioning her about these things tomorrow.
Good luck on your consultation! Keep me posted!
Thank you for this video
Thanks for watching!
You are the BEST!
Awww thanks girl!
Thank you for this video. I am doing the research in my area. Plenty of locticians but not a lot of sis locticians. After looking at a you tube blogger about sis locs she highlighly discouraged if you don't have one within 2 hours and able to attend the strict scheduled maintenance. I paused in getting them. The price for sis locs can be really expensive based on length. Micro locs might be my new look. 😊
One of my cousins who has Sisterlocks (and hers are gorgeous) mentioned this as a concern. She personally says she can’t tell the difference herself when microlocs are installed with a good grid using the interlocking method. As a result, she got her daughter microlocs.
Keep me posted on your decision. There Is no right or wrong choice. Only what’s right for you. If you watch any other videos and have questions please ask away! Keep me posted on your journey.
Awesome video! Thank you!
❤️❤️
Thank you for you absolutely great, very informative, and sis so helpful video. I just started my journey. Next Friday will be 3 weeks. My stylist started my LOCS with comb twist. I have fine soft hair also as I got older(50yrs). I definitely want micro LOCS look for sure and you help solidify my desire. Thanks so much!
Yay! Enjoy the journey! There will be twists and turns and embrace them all. Keep me in the loop!
@@microlocsandmore Awe thanks. Next Friday will be 3 weeks since I started. Stylist did comb twist to start out. I go next Friday for retwist
Thank you for this !!!
Thanks for watching! Feel free to ask any questions!
Thank you this was very informative!
So glad it was helpful! ❤️
Thank you. This was helpful.
Awesome! Glad you found helpful info!😊
I love you microlocks. A good sisterlock consultant takes an average 2 to 3 hours to retighten their clients sisterlocks. A sisterlock trainee as my self takes 6 hours
Thanks! Agreed. It takes my consultant 1 hour and 45 minutes. She is fast but good!
About how much is a retie?
How often do you have to retighten and how much does it cost?
Great Tips
Yes ma'am you have helped me to decide .l will be doing microlicks
Enjoy your journey! Let me know when you take the plunge! Exciting!!
Thank you! I have fine hair too and was wondering.
Are you concerned about locking because of fine hair?
I love your voice. Okay now that I've gotten that put of the way. I am very Interested in microlocs. I currently have traditional locs and want to switch to micro. I enjoy having locs. I am like you and change my hair alot but this loc journey for me has been extra special sp I want to stay here I just want to change it up a bit. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! Microlocs are small enough to give you a lot of styling flexibility plus they are small enough that if you choose to, you can braid over them, puts wigs over them, etc. Keep me posted!
@@microlocsandmore yes. I ended up switching that same day. My best friend helped me comb them out and redo them.
Also with SL consultants, along with being limited, some don’t allow you to make a retightening appointment if you didn’t get your establishment done with them. Like, they don’t take transfer clients. So if your consultant is booked when you need them, it’s more difficult to find a backup.
This is something important to consider. Thanks for sharing!
That's crazy! What if you move area or country lol??
Our locs are adorable! Omg!
Loc love!❤❤
Girl your hair is beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much!💕💕💕
Micro was my choice and would chose it again. After 6 months .. people always ask because it’s hard if you’re specialist
I paid 400 for first install
150 each 6 wks
Got sisterlocs technician that can go behind my Microlocs technician if necessary love it so much
Do it❤
Thank you for your advice
No problem ❤️
OMG sis thank you so much. Yes I have been stalking Chiiiiiile lol.. for months .. I was going back and forth between micro lo cs or something just a bit larger than micros because of my fine hair. I am so scared they will snap on me ..especially my edges..lol.. I need my edges sis 😂😂😂😩 Yours are beautiful!
Lol! Stalking is necessary when figuring this loc life out!😜 Since you have fine hair you will be able to watch my videos to see some the experiences you may have. Ask any questions and I’ll be sure to answer. Good luck!
Getting an honest consultant is literally the most important part of the decision to get microlocks over sisterlocks. Having someone who has the knowledge and experience to recommend lock sizes and patterns that make sense for you individually is a gem.
Any loctician can install interlocked locks. I don't see the difference between 450 sisterlocks and 450 locks established with the interlocking from root to tip. Literally no difference, IMO.
Considering microlocs. I want the smaller locs without having to be in a chair for as long
Microlocs was the best of both worlds for me. Small locs but less time and less money. When do you plan on making your decision?
@@microlocsandmore No timeline setat all. Just looking for a local stylist.
@@justincasse818 Got it! Good luck in your search!
Thank you for the advice. Looking forward to getting my microlocs
❤️❤️Do you have a date in mind?
@@microlocsandmore not at the moment but consultation is on 16th of this month. I too have fine hair. Very scared and excited.
Following up! How is your journey going?
thanks love!
