I like the crochet method because it allows you to pre-part your whole entire head so you don’t have to worry about the parts. That’s what I plan to do.
I don’t recommend this for an entire head unless you are very familiar with doing hair and how much hair to add so the knot doesn’t show when your hair starts to grow out
@@Melthestylistt Understand I'm growing out a pixie cut. So I think the method would be good for the back. I know that hair proportion is crucial so it don't put tension on my real hair. Thank you!!
Omfg the braid down and crochet through is so damn genius!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! If i wanted to try the style before fully commiting can i do the crochet technique with synthetic hair for a month or two?
I just started following your page. I like the box braid and feeding the braids method. Without locking. Can you show how you prepare the two piece of hair and how you braid it in. Your hands were blocking it. Its the box braid method im talking about.
I did mine with extensions, and I had to redo a few of them because I added too much hair. It shows when I did my retie. My new growth was visibly thinner. But now that its time for another retie. You can't even tell with all my new growth.
I have learned so much with your video.i have 3c hair & would like to know which method is best. Feeding in the extension hair as you braid your hair or braid your hair & then crochet the extension at the root.
This is beautiful and thank you. I feel confident enough to do this own my own now after watching this (I’ve watched others but this fills in the blank questions that I had) What is the length of the hair you used?
Love the options! I have soft low density hair - which method of adding in the extension hair have you found looks better at the root on longer low density hair; knotless or crochet thru at the root?
The braid will only be too thick if you add too much hair. Since I’ve done this so many times I can easily measure out how much hair is needed per loc.
This client has low density hair. The only way the natural hair would be thinner is if the person who did your hair used too much hair for the extensions
Can I use step 3 but add it in the middle of the braid ? I plan on cutting them off as my hair grows and don’t want to end up cutting too much of my hair? Or maybe crocheting from the middle of the braid?
So I’m in a bit of a tuff spot and maybe someone can help me out in the comments.I want micros but I have a small bald spot in the front of my head so do you guys think it’s possible to do one of these methods with regular size locs ?? Plz help
Thank you!! I appreciate you not gate keeping the techniques because I’m def not paying anyone my mortgage payment to do my hair! 😭🥳
This the one!!
FACTS !!!

I plan on do this but I know it will take a few days with school and work
You dont know how much this video has blessed me 🙌🏾
Giving away your secrets. I'm here for it. I actually do the 2nd method the most. Great job🎉
I call it being helpful and being the resource I needed when I first started doing this style.
@@Melthestylistt Well it's very much appreciated. Thank you. I wish you much success
So basically just box braids ?
@MiraMincy You just start them off the same way would box braids. But they are twists and it clearly shows that
@@Melthestylisttdoes the twist need to be braid tight or loose?
You did a great job. Thanks for sharing this knowledge with us.
You put in that work with such precision and perfection.
I always wondered if you could do the box braid method to start loc extensions. Thank you!!!

@amelialee100 also, with this method you are prone to more slippage. I explained this in the video of me using that method on short hair
Excellent work. Thank you for sharing. I need to find someone in florida to do this for me. Love it!!
Thank you so much! Definitely will be playing this back during my DIY install ❤
Please do!
Thank you for sharing! My daughter is finally going to let me loc her hair 🎉 🎉 and this tutorial is a life saver
Thanks for this I have a question what method you would use for someone with soft fine hair
Good question I was wondering the same
The feed in method.
Omfg the braid down and crochet through is so damn genius!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! If i wanted to try the style before fully commiting can i do the crochet technique with synthetic hair for a month or two?
I like 2 especially for short hair

You prepare it and braid it in how you would a box braid.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge 🧡
🤎Very beautiful technique I love it all 3 of them. I’m at work and I waited for this video to drop 😂😂
Do you find that after a couple of reties that the know from the extension is visible? Because the loc is thicker than the new growth?
Ditto...
There wouldn’t be a difference if installed properly

This was very helpful. Thank you
Your work is amazing....thanks for sharing
This is beautiful and thank you. I feel confident enough to do this own my own now after watching this (I’ve watched others but this fills in the blank questions that I had) What is the length of the hair you used?
Can these same techniques be used for mircoloc braids?
Where can I find the small interlock tool?
Nice The gel you are using
Great!!, please which people sells the pin you used to tight it
Can this be loose or is it permanent lock
Interlocking tool on Amazon. If you interlock the roots it’s intended to be permanent
Thank you Mrs
Love the options! I have soft low density hair - which method of adding in the extension hair have you found looks better at the root on longer low density hair; knotless or crochet thru at the root?
I want to try on myself but im afraid of parting and locs being different sizes me not using enough hair or too much. Do you have any tips?
What hair do you use
I live the style but is there or what is the best method if you want to remove them?
Hi! Great tutorial! Are you also twisting each strand as you twist the two pieces together?
Slightly
Thanks for sharing with us but kindly help me on this, after wetting the ywig ,you use it when it is still wet?
I don’t understand your question
❤❤ love it great for me a beginner
Do u have to remove them or do they staying permanently
I recommend cutting overtime but you don’t have to. You can leave them in forever
Beautiful 😍
Using the method wear you use the crochet hook, are you concerned about the braid being too thick when you retighten it?
The braid will only be too thick if you add too much hair. Since I’ve done this so many times I can easily measure out how much hair is needed per loc.
After using the extension to start the, at what point do you remove the extion?
Whenever you want. It’s your hair.
Hello would you do these on someone with low density hair? And if so when it grows out is the natural hair visibly thinner?
This client has low density hair. The only way the natural hair would be thinner is if the person who did your hair used too much hair for the extensions
Thanks for this video I subscribe ❤
How much will this style start at
Come through tutorial 🙌🏾
What is the name of the big needle thing that you're weaving the hair through?
Interlocking tool
Can I use step 3 but add it in the middle of the braid ? I plan on cutting them off as my hair grows and don’t want to end up cutting too much of my hair? Or maybe crocheting from the middle of the braid?
Sure. It’s your hair. There are no rules or a specific way to do do your own hair
@@Melthestylistt that’s true! Tend to get caught up in technicalities of this. Thanks so much
You did a great job! We would love to work with you!
I would love that!! Please let me know what we can do!
Email: melthestylistt@gmail.com
Please ma what is the name of cereals you used
Thank you so much
What is the shortest length hair you could do loc extensions on ?
can the box braid method be done all around head ?
You can do whatever you want with your hair
Very nice ❤
How do you measure the amount of hair to avoid having an obvious difference as the loc grows?
Book a coaching call with me and we will walk through it together.
How long do you recommend waiting before coloring? I’ve heard conflicting information.
You should wait until your hair is fully matured to avoid damage. Which could be 1 year or 2. Rushing to dye or bleach is unnecessary
Very good job
Do you interlock extensions if you’re thinking of taking out the extension when the natural hair grows enough to be locked on its own?
Yes. You will have to comb the extensions out or cut them
I have watched several micro loc extensions and so far everyone is doing a feed in micro braid into a two strand twist.. Is this it?
In this video there are three different ways to install the extensions
Is it ok to style freshly installed microlocks
I’d advise against it simply because a retightening is tight on your scalp and it would be unnecessary tension
Can i allow this hair to loc permanently?
These are permanent extensions
@Melthestylistt how long have you been using this hair.. I love it
Can those be removed once it is pulled through the braid base?
Yes you can
I’ll be starting mine with 4 inches of hair… I’m thinking the 1st method would work best.. your thoughts!
You can do whatever you want with your hair 🫶🏾
Do you interlock the root after you have added the extension or do you wait to interlock at the next retie?
The roots are interlocked at installation
You did such an amazing job. How long did these take you?
We split it up into two days
I've been thinking of getting them done, and i'd like to ask if they can be taken off or do i have to cut my hair off?
They can be combed out
Can i color these
Yes
Can it be lossen?
What do you mean?
How many packs of hair did you use for this
5
Are those permanent??
Yes but you can remove them if you’d like
@@Melthestylistt ok ok thank you so much!
What kind of hair is that?
It is linked in description
Where are you located?
So I’m in a bit of a tuff spot and maybe someone can help me out in the comments.I want micros but I have a small bald spot in the front of my head so do you guys think it’s possible to do one of these methods with regular size locs ?? Plz help
You can do this with any size.
What hair is used
In the title and the description
what is the name of the braids please?
What city and state are you located?
An hour away from Houston Tx
The name of the synthetic hair please if you don't mind
I don’t use synthetic hair so I am unable to tell you any brand names of that type of hair.
@@Melthestylisttwhat kind of hair do u use please
Where is your location?
Huntsville tx
Yayyy
My question is..... is this a permanent loc? Can it be unlocked at any point?
You can comb it out like natural locs
What do you do if the extensions don’t hold up how do you get them out ?
If you want to take the extensions out, you would simply untwist and comb out the knot
Starting with three strand will leave an inconsistancy in the loc
If done improperly yes it will. And if you add too much hair then yes it will. However, I am not a beginner so I don’t have that issue.
What kind of hair is this
Exy hair
