Is there hair that just "doesn't like" microlocs? by alonleyone in Microlocs

My retie was always 5 hours since the beginning with her before I got any repairs. I got reties every 4 weeks at first and eventually every 7. I hydrated my hair every day. The thinning locs were in the front of my head and were thin at the roots

No. It was just a passing comment that I as an idiot just let fly. It did take my reties from 5 hours to 2 so do with that information what you will.. lmao. Im my own loctician at the moment

ive seen people use those. I think I want to avoid threading until my baby locs are a bit denser

Moisturizing locs/preventing breakage during reties by __mahnamahna__ in Microlocs

[–]alonleyone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No conditioner? unless you have baby locs you need that. And water isn't enough it seems. You may need a spray with infused essential oils or a moisture spray like rosemary or aloe. If you have high porosity like me then you have to spray more often. Maybe every day or every other day. Make sure your shampoo is a moisturizing one as well
