Using Loc Recycling to Extend Loc Lengths


Between ponytail holders and having one's back resting on longer locs, the loc ends will break off. Some people trash their broken loc pieces. I don't. If it is an inch or longer then I collect them in a cosmetic bag.

I recycle my own Sisterlock pieces and decide where to extend my other loc lengths because I never really know where the loc broke off from originally.  In my Sisterlocks training classes, the instructors strongly discouraged extending Sisterlocks. However, since I self maintain my own Sisterlocks, I know how to tighten with added ridges in the  loc. In the picture above, I decided that I wanted to extend my bang area. It is sparse in the chin area. I want to change that.

It's my own hair, and I can do what I want to do with it. 


Boom! More length in my chin area!

That's a solid inch of fullness restored!
