Thank you for sharing. I'm about to do my DIY microlocs! About 300 is the amount of locs I want (more or less) I'm doing braidlocs and I will have them installed by March 31, 2023. I'm still watching videos and reading before I start, but I will do the parting in the next few days.
@@heyybritny Thank you! Your hair is gorgeous! I hope you will stay with your current set but I know how this can be. You'll work on it until you are happy with it. 🙂
Thanks for taking us along. Realistically (I know everyone is different and some people are blessed with hands that fly) but if you're shooting for 8 hours or less on a self-retie, you want no more than 250 locs at most. Even that is pushing it. You might be more confident about finishing in 8 hours if you're closer to 200 and you don't go more than 6 weeks between reties.
Your locs look exactly how they should! Coincidently, I saw a black woman on Chicago PD and she had sisterlocks, but it also looked like a wash n go. I was confused (just for a sec!) and mesmerized. 🥰

Amazing! I’m so excited for your journey. I hope your set is everything you want it to be. ❤️

Thanks for sharing! A lower number makes sense. I was able to do about 340 in 5 hours (over two days), and I was really focused during that time. 🤣
@@heyybritny Okay, looks like you've got those "hands-that-fly" then😆. Wish you were my loctitian.
I really hope you fall in love with this set 😁
Thank you! Fingers crossed 😅
I love the looks of sisterlocks too but I hate that in my case they are not that noticeable just yet. My hair now looks very much like a wash and go

Lots of great info. TFS!
Thank you! Glad it was helpful 😃
You just have some braids you keep in for a bit.
In hindsight, yes. The intention, however, was to lock my hair with this set. Thanks for watching!
