The Ugly Pre-Retightening Phase | Microlocs, Thin Edges, Growth & Loc Extensions

In this video, I’m sharing a very real update on my Microlocs pre-retightening process—the good, the ugly, and the growth.

I talk about how I lost some locs, felt discouraged for a moment, and had to mentally work through what that meant for my journey—especially as someone with thin edges. Thankfully, everything ended up turning out better than I expected, and I’m also seeing my edges slowly grow back.

This journey reminded me that hair growth (and life) isn’t always pretty in the middle—but that doesn’t mean it isn’t working.

At the end of the video, I’m closing out with my Music, Movement & Motivation segment to ground us and reset our energy.

✨ Let me know in the comments if you enjoyed this segment and if you’d like me to keep including it in future videos. Your feedback really matters to me.
