People's Opinons and Loc Extensions

Yes! I am back and more heated than ever! I just finished watching a video on YT, this chick is talking about Loc Extensions should not be a style!! SKKKKKKEKERRRRRT! Uhm wait a minute! Why are people dissing the loc extensions?

I've been seeing lately that alot of people are against the whole idea of the extensions, cuz it's not "Organic" or "Real". Well this is my thought on it...I don't belive that everyone wants to go through the same phases as others and then some folks have hair that is hard to lock and they just want to find a way to make it work. Here's my story I tried to loc my hair each way there is known to man! I started with backcombing,coils,braids,twists and interlocking and none of them worked! My hair would start off good in the beginning but always took a turn for the worst! So, before I changed my mind...I decided on Loc Extensions.

......



At first I was kinda skeptical because I did feel like people would talk behind my back and say that "she cheated" or "it's ugly"....but you know what? Folks have been talking about me ever since I was in the 4th grade, you think I give a flying flip now? HECK NAW!!!!! They can kiss my behind!

For one thing, it's a personal decision and I know what's best for MY hair. I hate when people give their opinions on something that does not concern them. I see alot of people do that on YT....people work hard on their videos and their creations and people get up there and act a fool on someones site. WHACK~~~



But anyways, I love my Loc Extensions and I would not have it any other way..today is day 13 for me and everything is coming along nicely! I'm so excited and I can't wait to see what my hair looks like in a month!

Peace

Loc Extensions is the Last straw

well people's...I recently came to a grim reality!!! My hair texture is too soft and it's going to take alot longer to lock than I thought. So my answer....LOC EXTENSIONS. Yes, that's right I said it! I have tried just about every method there is without pulling my hair out!!! First there was backcombing, braidlocz,coils,interlocking and guess what??? none of them worked...so I was forced to look up another way (expensive way, should I say) and Loc Extensions was the next best thing. Because of the times we live in, I just could not see myself paying $500 for something that I know that I could do myself (neither could my husband) LOL..so here are a few pix from the end results.



..I think that I did a pretty good job @ it considering that some peoples locs look like this..
this.....and this..


Yup! I did pretty darn good!!! I used Beverly Johnson Human Hair Bulk...the store I bought the hair from sold two bulks in one for $27.98, and I used four bulks in all..so yea I paid in all about $100 or so.

Here are the instructions:

1. Part hair into desired section

2. Take a THIN piece of the human hair and start braiding the hair into your hair as if your making a micro braid.

3. Take a thicker piece of the human hair and hold one end up against the braid adn begin to wrap the hair around the braid, (basically covering up the braid itself).

4. Keep wrapping until you come to the desired length, of course if you want long locs you will have to add more hair to the loc.

5. Repeat until you are finished.

*****Word of Caution*****

Don't wash your hair for about a month, this will give the human hair and your hair time to mesh and become intertwined.

Do not put oil or grease on the loc itself, of course you want slippage!

Always cover your locs @ night to keep free from lint and other nasty stuff! YUCK!!
