ok imma be live tweeting my microloc install lol i started on March 23, 2020. it’ll be slow going since i do approx six locs every four days since we’re quarantined and aint nobody gonna see me anyways
so i was inspired in my grid pattern and install method by @/queeneleem on yt and @TyKaraAnn

i’ve been keeping track of how many locs i have on grid paper and a tally system! i’m currently 87 locs in :)))

ok so... i need some help. i did like almost a 3rd of my head and have way less locs than i originally wanted. which would be nbd BUT i washed my hair last night and they plumped up bc im doing twists so they are bigger than i wanted too (also peep shrinkage

ok gaydies we’re back!! i did a full 43 locs last night bringing us to a whopping 169!! we’re like 40% done also here are my bbs!! cooper and fanny :)
also after some research and one (1) full night of insomnia and asthma i decided to redo the locs i felt were too big at the top. not all of them but i know theyre gonna swell and its just not what i was going for. heres a pic of size comparison of the “big” ones and the new ones
also by “research” i mean admiring the hang time of these thinner locs on the side and ignoring all of ur good advice to make an irrational decision at 5 am
should i be tagging this thread #locjourney or #microlocs or sumn? who all even cares abt this lmaoo
