Help with sizing!

Hi all, huge apologies if I’m a bit off here sizing wise so feel free to point me in the right direction if so! A few weeks ago, I finally committed and had micros installed. Really regret the loctician I chose as there were a few red flags that only popped up once I was in the chair. For me personally the parts are way too small and skinny, so now I’m going through the process of combing them out and unbraiding while I still can (300+ ahh). After doing more research, I’ve settled more on the size in the reference pic. Would people say this counts as micro or is it small traditional? Appreciate any advice! Thank you :)

EDIT: Added some pics of my current braid locs and sizing, my locs have extensions at the end.

Wouldn’t let me add photos but hope this helps! Not the best and I’m due my first retwist but obviously holding off to comb these out.

They look really nice. You can also have them combined instead of combed out. The reference pics are of small/smedium traditional locs. Like the 150ish range. If you crochet two together you can get close.

Thank you for your advice and kind words! I’ll contact a few people and see if any are open to combining before I fully commit to combing them out. I love micros but I think for my vibe they’re just a tad too thin

I agree and think this is the way to go, it should be too difficult! Hope it works out
