Because my hair is fine low to medium density, I tend to seek out videos with people who have my same texture and loc count so in that regard, it’s important. Your hair is gorgeous.
Thanks! Same... I'm go to count mine.
Welcome! My locs were installed on the 19th and I'm doing absolutely nothing until my loctitian does my retie in 3 weeks. My goal is to minimize slippage during the first year. I'm leaving it up to my loctitian to shampoo my locs until it's okay for me to do so. I'm completely new as well and researched at least a couple of years before making the decision.
I definitely should have done more research
I get my sisters locks on the 24th. I made sure that I was getting someone who could do ALL care.
Yay!!! I finally found someone who is newly loc’d like me. Mine was established on 1/17/24 so I’m right there with you. My hair is soft and fine too, so I know your scalp battle all too well. Here’s to healthy scalps and flourishing locs! 🌱🌱
Oh, I think the loc count thing is preference at this point. At least for me anyway. I have no idea how many locs I have. If I get bored one day, maybe I’ll count them.🤷🏾♀️
I just installed my locs with low density salt and pepper hair....So I'm here for your journey!
Thanks!
I started my microlocs journey on Jan 6th...best hair decision yet...loving it!!!
I feel the same way! Got mine on 10/7/23. ❤
I’m glad RUclips recommended your channel. I have fine hair and want locs. I’m glad to see someone with hair like mine. I will be following your journey
Awesome! Thank you!
Awwwww they're so cute!! I got my install on the 23rd, I also have fine hair and it is definitely giving scalp lol. Im excited though! My loctician will maintain for the next year because,,,,I'm lazy when it comes to my hair. It's about a good 24 inches and was done like yours (braided then twisted). I will follow your journey. Good luck doll!!
Thank you! Keep me posted. I would love to hear how your journey is going too.
Your hair looks great! My hair has always been thick up until a few years ago. I'm seriously thinking about getting microlocs installed. After seeing your hair, I feel encouraged to go ahead and get mine done.
I say go for it. Best decision I have made.
Locced 12/3! I so hear you on the fine and low density!!! Nothing but scalp!!!!! Lol. Usually they say not to wash your hair for at least 1-2 weeks but with our hair texture, yeah washing that loc product out is understandable given anything heavy weighs our hair texture down. My hair didn’t fluff until week 3, going onto week 4 with my first install. I was like “um where’s the body ody ody” it’s finally arrived and I’m going onto my 2nd retie. Good luck and thank you for sharing your journey!!!
I just got my micro locs done 3 days ago. March 14th, 2024. My hair is very fine and low density as well. I contemplated for 2 years. I am on this journey with . My hair is very scalpy and I had no curl pattern on my sides so I added perm rods on the ends for curls. My loctician is going to maintain mine. But your hair is beautiful. We are in this together!!!!
Congrats on your microloc journey. We are definitely in this together!
Your hair look good, I love it ❤
Thank you!!
Thank you so much for this video.♥ It was exactly what I was looking for an needed. After installing my own micro locs diy. My hair is the same with the itching and I will take a chance because my scalp will itch if not washed after 5 days. Great idea. I have nothing to lose as I don't trust anyone else to do "my" hair.
The itch was horrible! I thought I was the only one.
You look sooooo cute! I’m excited to see your journey 😍
Thanks!
Your hair really nice your hair will thicken. I felt the same way now I’m four years in thicker a the length haters are saying I have extensions . No I went through what I called the ugly stage I love my locs.
Thanks! I look forward to the process.
Your hair is super cute! This video has inspired me to embark on this journey later this year. Thanks for sharing.
Yay! Thank you!
hello Keeks, so glad I found your channel. I'm considering micro locs and I have fine low density hair too. I'm doing so much research to make sure before I commit.
Hey! I'd love to hear what you decide to do.
Thank you for sharing your feelings. I’m nervous too. My installation was 2/17/24… yesterday…here I go!
Yaaay!!! Congratulations!!!
Welcome to the loc community!! 😊
Thank you!!
Thanks for sharing… I had my consultation today. This is encouraging bc I have fine low density hair. I was worrying about the scalpy look. Appreciate the video and your journey. ❤
You're welcome!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your journey. I am getting my locs installed in February. I know I have fine hair but I am not certain of the density. I will continue to follow and am excited to see our locs grow!
Thanks! I'm excited for you. I think you'll love them. I know I do.
Your hair looks really cute!! I just started mines Jan 3 2024. I never thought I would get locks because I change my hairstyles ALL of the time. However, like you said, I had some friends with beautiful sisterlocs so I decided to go for.,Although I have low density hair, I am loving it!!! And my hair is growing so fast. Good luck on the rest of your loc journey
Thanks! Good luck to you as well
Great video and you are gorgeous. I've been natural for almost 11 years. My microloc appointment is on 02/23/24. Been researching for about 3 years before committing. I can't wait! Wishing you well on your journey. 🙏🏾💜
3 years... wow. I wish I had done more research.
Absolutely beautiful 🥰🥳
Thanks!
They are so beautiful ❤.
Thanks!
The look gorgeous. I’m 5 weeks in and the parts are less visible in the back but the top is very short and scalpy. I’m wearing head wraps until it gets a little fuller. I’m retired and I’m home most of the time.
Thank you! Mine is thin across the front too but when it grows out, we're going to look fabulous!
Your hair looks absolutely fantastic! Always let your locs completely dry after your shampoo and before you take out the braids and bands.
Your locs look great, im 3months in and Im so happy, only advise I would give is the leave your hair braided and banded until its fully dry. Slippage happens when not dry and especially because your hair is so fine. The itching is real, I itch a lot less but i have tried at least 3 shampoos and finally I got what works for me. Enjoy your journey
Great advice, thanks for sharing!
We are hair twins! I have fine hair as well. When washing my hair I braid and band then wait until it is completely dry before I take it down. I was constantly losing loc’s because my hair is fine and soft. Today is my 5 month loc-anniversary. Your hair will get fluffy and fill in. Now you can only see my grid when I get a retie. I will be following your journey.
Thanks hair twin!!! I'm definitely going to start allowing my hair to fully dry while in the braids after washing.
Your hair looks great
Thanks!
Hey keeks, thanks for shearing your jorney. I'm willing to make microlocs but my hear is also very low density. I think me more than yours. So i'm still not quite so sure if it will come fine. I had dreadlocks before and removed the last year. And even with dreadlocks it didn't get so density but i liked the way it looked. I was just tired cause it has been really very long time i made. More than 10 years. So...., but now i miss them kkk. That's why i'm thinking of doing again but this time, microlocs cause i think they are much lighter and soft than the dreadlocks.
So, i will always check on you to see how are you copping with them. Wish tou the best. Keep well
Thanks!
Congratulations!! Literally finished my set last night. Took about 2 weeks, between work and life. This is my 3rd set. First 2 set I did comb coils. I wanted big locs but my hair said denied! lol. Ended up looking like a had big parts with little locs because of density. My hair is mixed textures, with fine, thin, low density ear to ear in the front and kinkier, tighter, thicker density in the back, behind the ear, from crown to nape. Weird. I also use sea salt mixed with distilled water in a spray bottle to loc faster. Mimics ocean water. Dries my hair out. Soft hair can unravel from the slightest bit of moisture from shower or sweat. Love my locs. Just make sure to color your hair before install.
Your hair didn't say denied did it?! Lol I know your micros are bomb tho.
@@keeksdiary and DID! LMBO!!! And you really won't know your outcome until you grow them out, which sucks. They were soooo pretty and fluffy the first 6 to 7 months, then, BAM, the denial letter with ya lil deposit of time and effort sent back, attached to big parting spaces and skinny, condensed locs.. Took my time on this set. Nobody has a whole year of time to waste only to have to pick them out and start over. Again.. Yours look absolutely FAB 💕💕
I have fine, soft textured hair. My journey will begin on Aug 9th and I am excited but also scared lol. Yours look amazing!
@@k.kreationz__ Thanks! Aug 9th will be here before you know it lol
Its beautiful 😍
Thanks!
Who did your install? They look really good
Your hair looks great look up ( Dr Ash and her make up ) she had very low density hair she is about three years in and her hair is beautiful so I can see your hair getting fuller and thicker . Trust the process
Will do, thanks!
They are beautiful welcome to the loc world. Talk to your loctician about using OGX Moroccan sea salt spray on your locs. I have a client whose hair is very fine and low density. This has really help her hair to bud way sooner than I expected.
Thank you, I will.
Started my yesterday
Good that you knew to braid and band! Next time try leaving your braids in until it completely dries. You can use a low heat blow dryer or good dryer if you don’t want to air dry. But you will find that your waves will be more defined and less frizz and unraveling than when it’s taken down. Your loctician may also advise against any oils for now because you’ll lubricate your strands which slows your locking process as well. You’re gonna love your hair!!!
Thanks for the tips! I can't wait to see how they progress.
Congrats! I am doing DYI locs but I am interlocking the whole way. I am hoping that the twist did not come out since you washed so soon. If you feel your scalp itching prior to the time to shampoo, try apple cider vinegar and water (50/50) and spray on scalp. you can also add tea tree oil to a carrier oil and use your finger tips to apply to that area. (by the way, I am not a loctician but I have done hair for over 30 years and have my license. So have done everything from braids, locs and weaves/perm styles) All the best on your journey!
Thanks! I will definitely give that a try.
Let me know if that helps!
I believe counting locs is a shenanigan started with sisterlocks. I heard a microcosm say, over 400 is considered sisterlocks size or something like that.
I currently have 359 microtwists waiting to loc but gonna change to interlocs.
Oh wow! How long have you been loc'd?
Pretty! I counted my locs because I wanted to add loc extensions. I installed my own locs on Feb. 19 to my fine hair and they are not micro, but are still thinner looking locs. But I absolutely love them! It's been a little over a month now.🎉🎉
Hello! :) (Replying to your number of locs question)
I too just started my journey yesterday! (March 17, 2024). I did quite a bit of research but that was because the people I would see on my IG timeline or TikTok fyp were people with beautiful developed locs, but had completely different textures to me, which could mean if I got similar sized locs, I might not have the same results as them. So, because of my hair density and texture, I figured that if I could find someone with developed locs that I liked and that had a closer hair texture and density to mine, I could ask my loctician to aim for a similar number of starter locs on my head so that my developed locs would look similar (hopefully).
That was my reasoning though; not sure if others feel this way or if there is a bigger reason to ask the amount of locs one has.
That makes sense... thanks for sharing.
According to my loctician any amount under 400 is not sister locs and the information is based on the founder(s) of sisterlocs. This is second hand information, please don’t quote me 😊
I'm thinking about doing that style but my hair is short and thinning
Don't let that stop you. Go check out a fb group called fine-haired loc (micros, sisterlocs and traditional).
I started my install Feb 2 and finished on the 8 and I have 266
Did you start with the interlock or braid method?
I started with tiny braids
I'm all natural without any chemicals but I'm going to start interlocking next month or so
Locc count is not important it's just sumthin for u to keep in ur records for ur journey.
Thanks!
That counting locs is confusing to me as well 🤔
Basically our fine hair gurlz want to know your count because we really want to figure out how thick or thin our hair is during our journey. We also want to know how it will thicken up over time and what size our DIY Locs should look like. Anyways I DIY Installed my braid locs almost 3 months ago and my head I have about 190 to 200 braid locs. My locs are a little thicker than yours. 😅
Thanks for clarifying. I'll get them counted.
I don't think it's important at all and I'm probably never going to count 😂
Welcome ❤ I Haven’t Started But My Date 📅 Is April 24,2024 But Yours Are Beautiful 😍
It will be here before you know it.
