My Yarn Loc Adventure

Now that I've finally finished my first Yarn Loc installation I want to talk about the things that I learned:

1. Unless you have practiced adding extension material to hair, it will probably take longer than you originally estimate.
2. If it's your first time be prepared for a few "redo's." Be patient and kind to yourself when it comes to learning new things.
3. If you don't have a set time for completion, rest when your body needs it. Pushing yourself when you are exhausted or in pain only leads to having to redo more sections and being less satisfied with the overall process.
4. Have fun. Learning should be enjoyable and a teachable moment can be found anywhere.

With that being said here are pictures from my 30 hours of work.

I added purple for the fun of it and I made the back much longer than the front. I wasn't going for an even look but rather a more free-flowing feel. Having done this style once I plan on doing it again although I'll probably not make them quite as long next time.

Have you tried Yarn Locs? I'd love to see pictures of what you've done!
