Microlocs are locs that are relatively smaller than ordinary locs. They are so small that the average size of the locs is like the diameter of your pencil. Also depending on your hair density the size of microlocs may vary it can be from shoe lace to a straw size diameter.
As the size changes the maintenance of the locs changes too.
You need to maintain your microlocs every 6 weeks so that your roots are well tight, also it depends how fast you have hair growth.
Interlocking, braids, and twists are the most popular ways to start microlocs. Microlocs can, however, be initiated with coils, but this is uncommon.
It is a common process to start microlocs with braids when you have long hair during installation, and if your hair texture is good then the twist will hold properly.
Start microlocs with an interlocking method to keep the texture on point, or if you want smaller microlocs.
Microlocs that begin with twists are suitable for medium to big microlocs and maintain well in a variety of hair textures. Beginning microlocs with twists has the advantage of making them large enough to preserve with interlocking or palm rolling.
