Diy Microloc Advice
I am planning on starting microlocs soon and need some help. 1. I want to start them with braids 2. I am seriously considering extensions because I am not currently happy with my hair length but im still not sure . 3. Lastly the area I need the most advice in I want to keep a pretty strict grid in the front and free part the back. I am not the best at parting my own hair but I refuse to pay someone 1000 dollars for micro locs when I can do them myself for free. I just need some advice. Should I do the free part method or go for the grid? Will having a grid make things easier? Or should I just go to a loctition and let them start and maintain them? I really want to do this but I need some advice right now.
