How To Install Micro Loc Extensions

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we’re about to dive headfirst into the wonderful world of micro loc extensions! Prepare to unleash your inner hair goddess. It's like giving your hair a super-chic, low-maintenance makeover.

Gather Your Goodies

First things first, you’ll need your supplies. Think of it like preparing for a grand crafting adventure, but instead of glitter glue, we have hair!

You'll need your micro loc extensions (obviously!), a trusty crochet needle (the smaller, the better, think dental floss!), a rat-tail comb (for precise parting, darling!), and some clips (for sectioning like a pro).

And, don't forget the patience potion – it's essential! Seriously, this isn’t a race; it's a marathon of magnificent micro locs.

Part Like a Pro

Time to part your hair into super-tiny, grid-like sections. Imagine you’re creating a perfectly organized little city on your scalp. Each little plot is a potential loc-topia!

Use that rat-tail comb like a surgeon. Straight lines are key, unless you're going for the artsy, free-form vibe. Then, rules are for the birds!

Clip away the sections you aren’t working on. This keeps things nice and tidy. Like a meticulously organized spice rack, but for hair!

Crochet Magic

Now for the fun part – the crochet! Take a single micro loc extension and fold it in half. This creates a little loop at the top.

Insert your crochet needle through the base of one of your tiny sections. Hook the loop of the extension onto the needle.

Pull the needle and the loop through your hair, creating a little anchor. Like threading a needle, but way cooler because you're building locs!

Secure the Deal

Take the ends of the extension and separate them. Now, braid those ends around the base of your natural hair.

This creates a secure and seamless connection. It’s like giving your hair a tiny hug that will last for weeks!

Repeat, repeat, repeat! Keep crocheting and braiding until all your tiny sections are rocking their new micro loc extensions.

TLC is Key

Once you’ve conquered your entire head, give yourself a pat on the back. You’ve officially entered the micro loc elite!

Now, it’s time for some TLC. Keep your scalp clean with a diluted shampoo. Think of it as a gentle rain shower for your locs.

Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! A light oil or spray will keep your locs looking luscious and lovely. Avoid heavy products, they're micro loc kryptonite!
