Microlocks
Microlocks (also called micro locs or nano locs) are small locs that can be started with an interlocking tool, a braid base, a two-strand twist, or coils. Because the technique is not trademarked, locticians have more freedom with sizing, parting, and pricing.
Best for
- Dense or coarse hair
- Custom loc counts and parting
- A budget-friendly small-loc look
What to expect
- Loc counts commonly range from 150 to 400+ depending on desired thickness.
- Grid patterns can be freeform, brick-laid, or square depending on the look you want.
- Maintenance every 6 to 10 weeks; interlocked microlocks hold longer between sessions.
