Micro locs don't use any chemicals or abrasion to harm your scalp or strands, making it excellent for thin hair. A micro-sized loc isn't bound to fail on its own.

Your micro locs can either be done with braiding machine or the traditional manual process of interlacing three or more yarns or bias-cut cloth strips in a diagonal pattern to make a narrow strip of flat or tubular fabric. While interlocking is how micro locs begin, not all locs may begin with interlocking! Interlocking also provides a well-defined and instant loc. Furthermore, you can keep interlocking new growth, and the line between your new growth and the beginning technique locs will be invisible. However, because interlocking can be time-consuming, some people may prefer to combine it with other strategies. Starting your micro locs with twists, braids, or a combination of the two is a terrific way to go. Braids make it less probable for your ends to unravel, and your hair shrinks less. Twists are a quicker method, although they may result in some unraveling and shrinkage. However, twists have the advantage where you can easily undo individual twists when you start if you feel you made a part too big or small. You can start your locs with two-strand twists.
