How To | Hand Made Loc Extensions | Crochet Method Pt1
Part 1 of my Loc extension journey. This isn’t my first time sporting this style nor installing but thought it would be great to document the process. In this video you will see where I purchase my hair and tools. Watch how I use afro kinky human hair to create small size 16inch locks for myself to be install in the next few months.
Everyone chooses their own personal journey when it comes to a locking journey, if my decision looks different from yours we shall respect everyone’s journeys and keep comments positive. Hope you guys enjoy!!!

Can u get the Afro kinky hair and then just box braid your hair with that and leave it in and then with new growth just twist the new growth ?

@AlexisNichole101 4 года назад

Hey love and yes you sure can , I did this with a client years ago and that was the way she actually transitioned into her own natural locs !! Then start to look frizzy and it helps the loc look !!

@Kirbypiles777 4 года назад

Alexis Nichole wow thanks so much for real that’s smartest thing to do being everyone mostly knows how to box braid but not install loc extensions and I rather not take the risk of someone messing my hair up then get it messed up.

@jlittlejohn25 4 года назад

Do you remember how many locs you were able to make from one bundle of the hair? I’m on the website now about to order

@AlexisNichole101 4 года назад

Hey love that’s a very good question!!! For my length one bundle gave me 9-10 locks. Much shorter length could possibly give you a 18-20 locks. Length determines a lot 😊

@3arth2naomi 3 года назад

@@AlexisNichole101 so that means that you bought about 8 packs? In the video you said you only bought 3 I wanna make sure I’m getting the correct amount😭

@Divergentdesignz 3 года назад

@@3arth2naomi not sure if you got your answer. But the website sells the bundle deal for 2 bundles for $50 . You can order up to 3 units which will give you a total of 6 packs of hair. Or you can order the pack of hair separate for about $30 each pack. They only allow you to order 3 units per order. So if you feel you'd need me simply just purchase your first order then reorder your next bundle bundle to slightly save... hope this helps anyone to understand the purchasing process

@warren6232 3 года назад

I need help, how do you make sure the dreadlock is the right size while making it, also could I being a 3b 3c hairtype have a extension that is 4c?

@AlexisNichole101 3 года назад

Often times that is the biggest challenge I always do a test loc first and what that does is show me how much hair that I need for the thickness and with the length I can always add more hair at the bottom. Also the tighter that you interweave the smaller of the lock you will get so if you start with a very big lock and thicker than what you like you can always tighten your weave with a crochet hook. Over the years I’ve only really been able to see the 4c texture in the Afro kinky hair. I would encourage you to possibly start your lot journey for 3 to 4 months and then merge the extensions at the end so that way you have a mixture of your hair in the extension to help blend.

@AlexisNichole101 4 года назад

Yesssss!! You know the struggle!!! I double up on the bandaids the ones that are more cloth and if I do get cuts which I always do, I use liquid bandaid to help. I have had to take a break in between sets cause my thumbs are cut up !!!!

hi does it make a difference if the crotchet needle has one vs two vs three prong things. I have the one with one but im wondering if buying the one with 2 or 3 will be easier
