This is the best way ive seen so far to adding extensions to closed ends! I had bunched ends So i combed them out to braid in the human hair extensions and it was a fail. lol.
I just started my microlocks in about August this year and I am really enjoying them. I have seen a number of microlockers who have done what you have done but have never stressed any warnings or cons regarding those extensions. I absolutely appreciate your honesty and your warning regarding this style. This gives everyone including myself an idea as to what to expect. I have started following you and have gone back to your beginning until now. I am learning many things from you. I am no where near ready to add any extensions. I am currently working with a great Loctician to get them good and established before I venture into any alternate styles. But when I get ready to do some extensions or add-ons, I will definitely be coming back to your video for guidance. Thank you so much. All the best to you😊
Thank you for watching! Hair health is really the most important. I am a firm believer that content creators have a duty to warn their audience when a style may damage the hair (like when adding color or extensions). I'm so glad you are enjoying your locs!
lol at this point my routine is just washing once a day because I use prescription tretinoin which dries the skin out soo much. I cover the tretinoin with lots of vaseline.
I’m glad you gave people a warning! Great video 💜 I added curly pieces to the ends to my Microlocs and when I took them out a lot of the ends were in shambles
yep! i'd hate to be shocked by it. I typically trim an inch a year anyway so I was fine, but I know many people don't trim and want to retain every single inch, so i couldn't set them up like that 😩
Im sorry it took so long! but I really didn't want to smile in yall face without being very clear about how it will impact your natural set. I personally trim almost an inch of hair every year anyway, so i knew I wouldn't miss it!
Beautiful! Your method definitely gives a more seamless look. I’m wearing curly ends now. This time I crocheted the hair into the bottom of my locs and then braided the extensions too. I was going for super secure 😂 Anyway, try a braid out. It definitely adds a little bang to the style. TFS! Congratulations on your career success!🎉
yes! the braiding method is great because it is less harsh on the hair and faster, but definitely more short term and I knew I wanted these to last several months
Thank you for posting this! I was thinking about doing this but the way my locs are set up right now…….I can’t do weak spots. Maybe in like 2 years when I got more hang time. I might spend the block to this video! Never delete it! 😢😂😊
lol it's not going anywhere! and I definitely feel you. in the beginning I held on to every inch. now that im several years in, I'll usually trim an inch a year, so potentially harming the ends was not that concerning to me.
yes the crotchet hook is so small that it has trouble grabbing both arms at the same time! I tried using the smallest hook possible so I didnt have to put big holes in the ends of my locs

yep braiding really works best with loose ends. It took me a while to think to just crotchet the hair in haha

Your locs and the extensions are beautiful.. Congratulations on the next chapter within your medical career!! 😊
thank you!!
Girl, can you please do an AM and PM skincare routine. You're glowing!

Girl, I've been waiting for this video! But I really appreciate your due diligence and letting us know the risk

Absolutely beautiful!!! I love this technique much better than just braiding them on.
@@TEE18612 thanks! And i definitely prefer crotcheting for the look and longevity ☺️

A great way to do this, so unique! Thanks for sharing. My way (braiding on the ends) is a more short term method lol
yes! the braiding method is great because it is less harsh on the hair and faster, but definitely more short term and I knew I wanted these to last several months
I am definitely doing this style! Thank you this is exactly what I need to spice my locs up 🌶️
Yess!! it cured my hair boredom immediately haha

Very pretty.
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful love🤩🖤👍👍
thank you 🥰
love it!!
@@ShayShea thank you!
How is the shedding, thanks for sharing
doesn't shed much at all bc I dont brush the curly ends. But there is some shedding when i wash them!
❤
What about the retightening process - did it get harder because of the extensions?
Is there a reason you grab one arm and not both at a time through the center ?
yes the crotchet hook is so small that it has trouble grabbing both arms at the same time! I tried using the smallest hook possible so I didnt have to put big holes in the ends of my locs
@@NapsAreTheNewBlack got you
slayyyyyyyyyy 👏
What length of curly hair did you use
18" but could've gotten away with 14-16" since I cut most of them
How would you remove them?
cut the fake hair up to the end of my loc and then pull the loop of hair out an inch above, where it was originally inserted.
I was all for this until this video. You know I’m lazy. I don’t know if I can do this. I am bored with my ends though…
@@valriehames3537 it was definitely a big time investment!
Yeah; no.
that's okay! everything isnt for everyone
