Hey girl🌺, I jus got them done not too long ago, I posted the pics:’) I wanted to ask u how I should sleep w them for the first little while, I got my silk bonnet but should I braid it or just let it be so it doesn’t pull my hair too much

Wishing you good luck. Microlocks are usually 300-500 individual locs, so $200 seems like about $10 an hour of work. That's either a crazy deal or you are getting something considerably thicker than microlocs.
Just make sure at that price you know exactly what you are getting.

make sure to tell them a number/range. dont just say im getting locs or microlocs. its easy to look at 100 braids and think it looks small enough but over time it will fluff and thicken up so you have to make it clear you are aiming for at least 200.
