How you embark your locks is up to you, but if you want to embark off with smaller size locks, I will go with either backcomb method or braidloc method (just braiding puny plats). If you embark the backcomb method, just do it a the peak of your hair (which will create nice knotting hair) and then proceed to do the interlocking pattern going all the way to your scalp.
If you do determined to go the interlocking route, and are going for smaller locks, you can maintain your locks with either the Nappylocs implement, paperclip (with larger locks), sewing needle, crochet needle (modify) or a latch hook.
If you going for the micro to puny locks, then your parts would be 1/8″ to 1/Four” squares. If you want to go for medium to large locks, then your parts would be 1/Four” to Trio/8″. The smaller parts would be your edges on the front and the back. The fatter parts will be done in the middle. If you want even larger parts, you can go past Trio/8″, and go after the same pattern as explain above.
Avoid using conditioner until your locks are lodge and use shampoos that are very striping (good ones are the ones that are marketed as clarifying shampoos ). It is recommend to braid down or twist your beginner locks when washing. Than you going to shampoo your scalp and your braids/twist. Once you have finish the cleaning of your locks, separate them so they don’t crawl or merge with each other. Avoid using oils in the beginning, and when you do determine to wash your hair, do it the day before you are going to interlock your fresh growth.
