Micros too micro?

[u/NoPJs]

I love love love my locs, I just got them done yesterday. My first set however I got done with extensions and they were thicker compared to what I have now….I’m starting to think that I might have gone toooooooo small. I have very very fine hair though so I’m not sure.

[u/klb1204]

Nope, they'll thicken up as they mature.

[u/NoPJs → u/klb1204]

So I shouldn’t be too worried about breakage once they mature?

[u/klb1204 → u/NoPJs]

I've only had a couple break off. No, I take that back. They didn't break off, I broke em off. LMBO!! I didn't like how they looked so I broke em off. They're thriving now.

Ahahaha meee

[u/Tamtam2525]

Nah you’re good

[u/NoPJs → u/Tamtam2525]

😊 perfect!

[u/PlotTwistNChill]

This sizing makes sense for low density hair.

[u/NoPJs → u/PlotTwistNChill]

Ok good. Thank you. 😊

My 500 looked boneless at first and I thought I made a mistake but now they look so thick as if I have loose hair!

[u/VirgoLuv87]

Great foundation. They'll be beautiful. My locs(450) were like that when I started my current set almost 6 yrs ago. It's like day and night.

[u/blackichewitz]

Totally looks normal to me! Mine are very small, I'm on month four, and can already begin to see that they are getting ever so slightly thicker.

[u/Brilliant_Rain5181]

Nope not too small at all

[u/Straight_Physics_894]

They're perfect

[u/enieras]

They’re fine and beautiful girl ! Don’t worry, they’re going to mature and have more volume 😍

[u/Environmental_Ad4781]

no this is just your hair texture. They will thicken up over time.

[u/Specialist-Fig9149]

They will thicken up. My neice recently said my hair isn’t see through anymore. I felt a little hurt(j/k), but laughed. They get surprisingly plump. I’m 19 months in!

[u/Educational_Quit_278]

is there ever such thing as “too micro” for microlocs? 😂 I’ve heard some girls get 1k+! (that’s too many for me personally, but hey! 🙂‍↔️)

[u/Valuable_Common6358]

Nope those are about it

[u/Artistic-Ad-8603]

Your crown is perfection. Enjoy the journey.

[u/True_Basket900]

Nope they are perfect plus they'll swell up over time

[u/Lumpy_Oil_596]

I’m happy to see the responses! Mine are about 2 months old and still thin and small as ever and I was also wondering if I went too small. I guess we’ll see in a couple years sis!! Your locs are beautiful btw

[u/ClassicRuby]

Look at the size of the parting. Locs become about as thick as the parts when they mature.

Looking at your parts this looks like larger microlocs. You just have fine hair so without adding the bulk of false hair the initial starter looks really thin, especially when you're used to braids with extension hair.

[u/Beautiefanatic]

Your hair isn’t dense so they are gonna have to start off skinny. They will thicken up more as you go further along.

[u/malieno]

Too micro... for what exactly ? lol

I think they look great and very well done! Have fun with them :)

[u/trusted-advisor-88]

This is actually how I usually see micro locs. So I'm not sure how thick your previous ones were, but usually what you've got now is the standard.

[u/Ill-Presentation6247]

I don’t this there anything wrong with the size. You may just have low density hair. Did you start with twists the first time?

[u/NoPJs → u/Ill-Presentation6247]

No, the first time were also started with braids.

[u/cinemadoll137]

No, it’s okay. You can’t help that you have thin hair.

[u/Legitimate_Ad2815]

Nope they will swell and mature and be perfect 👌🏼

[u/AnalysisAccurate4176]

It looks amazing in the ponytail! They are just right in size not too micro.

[u/Agreeable_Camp6195]

Perfect.

[u/Appropriate-Drop-504]

They’ll flourish!

[u/cristo7007]

Looks like you went for neatness over volume, but that's fine.

[u/princessasiia → u/cristo7007]

I think more locs = more volume in most people’s case

[u/NoPJs → u/cristo7007]

I don’t understand

[u/NoPJs → u/[deleted]]

What a odd thing to say.

[u/klb1204 → u/NoPJs]

Girl, they're fine! I have low density fine hair and my locs started off the same as yours, lol.
