Starting Micro locs: The Basic and Beyond

This generates a detailed look while also granting you liberty when it comes to separating your hair & including volume wherever you like.

Any locs implementation technique can be used to form microlocs braiding, winding, twirling, or hand-rolling each tress of hair. (Concurrently, an intertwining tool is generally used for microlocks).

Microlocs are optically dazzling. They’re the king of aspect and detail and are comparatively easy to manage. They can be styled by yourself or an expert, and the procedure can be divided over several days to save your timetable.

The night before your appointment, wash your hair with a purifying shampoo, such as the STYLE Cleansing Shampoo, matched with a hydrating conditioner of your choice. Be sure to wash off all the products before booking and arrive residue-free.

Step 1: Section Your Hair

Divide your hair into as many portions as you like. A minimum of four is the best rule of thumb for microlocs, as they are naturally small. You may be able to adapt hundreds on your head within these tiny sections.

Fasten each section with a hair band. During this process, you can always return to working on the portion left of your head

later.

As the next step, untangle each section with a brush, such as a Wide-Tooth Comb, matched with a solution to help you untangle your hair.
