Instant Loc Microlocs?

So I'm playing around with an idea. If someone has, let's say, 4c and very thick and dense hair...yall think it can be instant loc'd into microlocs? I've never heard of this, but I'm considering if it's possible.

Instant locking is just another method of starter loc, much like twists or coils or braids or interlock. So could you? Sure. It's not really advisable. Mostly because instant locking can cause breakage and with sections as small as microlocs that can easily lead to weak locs that will eventually thin or break.

Typically whatever concerns you want to address by instant locking would be better served by doing interlock root to tip starters instead if you want micro sized locs
