What You’ll Need

Before starting, gather the following tools and materials:

Hair:

Afro Kinky Bulk Human Hair (preferably from a trusted brand like Exyhair)

Quantity depends on loc thickness and length (approx. 2–4 packs for a full head)

Tools:

• Fine-tooth comb
• Rat-tail comb
• Crochet hook (0.5mm or 0.75mm)
• Hair clips or rubber bands
• Moisturizing spray or light oil
• Scissors
• Spray bottle with water
• Edge brush (optional)

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Make Loc Extensions

Step 1: Prepare Your Natural Hair

Start with clean, dry, and detangled natural hair. If your scalp is dry, lightly oil it with jojoba or castor oil.

You can part your hair into:

• Box sections for a grid-like layout, or
• Random sections for a more organic loc look.

Secure each section with a clip or rubber band.

Tip: For the most natural result, match your parting size to the thickness of your desired locs.

Step 2: Prep the Afro Kinky Bulk Hair

Take a small portion of the bulk hair and fluff it gently. You want it to be uneven at the ends, so the loc doesn’t look blunt.

For each loc:

• Use around 0.5g to 1g of hair (adjust based on thickness).
• Stretch the fibers out slightly and spritz with a bit of water to make it more workable.

Step 3: Start Creating the Loc Extension (Base Method)

There are two common methods: Instant Loc Method (pre-making locs) and Loc Attachment Method (attaching directly to your hair). We'll walk through both.

Option A: Pre-Made Loc Extensions (Using Crochet)

1. Fold the afro kinky hair in half.
2. Insert your crochet needle through the middle of the folded section.
3. Start crocheting both sides together, using the hook to tangle and knot the hair into a cylindrical shape.
4. Continue crocheting up and down the strand until it becomes firm and loc-like.
5. Palm roll it between your hands for a smoother finish.
6. Trim any excess stray fibers.

Repeat this to create all your loc extensions.

Option B: Direct Attachment (Twist & Crochet Method)

1. Take a section of your natural hair and twist it lightly.
2. Wrap the afro kinky bulk hair around your twist, securing the base tightly.
3. Insert your crochet hook through the wrapped section and interlock the bulk hair into your twist using a back-and-forth motion.
4. Once secured, palm roll to mold it into a cylindrical shape.

Pro Tip: Keep your crochet strokes shallow at first to avoid too much tangling, then deepen as the loc takes shape.

Step 4: Blend and Secure the Tips

For both methods, the ends of your locs should be sealed securely. You can:

• Use the crochet hook to tangle the end tightly
• Burn the tip lightly (if synthetic is used—not recommended for human hair)
• Apply a bit of holding product and palm roll until firm

With Exyhair's 100% human afro kinky bulk hair, the tips seal naturally with just crochet and palm rolling.

Step 5: Style and Moisturize

Once all locs are complete, you can:

• Trim for an even length
• Shape edges or style with accessories
• Spray with water or a light leave-in conditioner to soften the texture
• Use edge control for sleek edges

Human hair extensions will behave just like your own, so moisturize and protect them regularly for best results.

Aftercare Tips for Your New Loc Extensions

Creating beautiful locs is just the beginning. Here’s how to maintain them:

• Moisturize weekly with water and lightweight oil
• Wrap your hair in a satin scarf or bonnet at night
• Wash gently every 2–3 weeks using a residue-free shampoo
• Re-twist the roots as needed (every 4–8 weeks)
• Avoid heavy buildup from gels and waxes

Unlike synthetic locs, afro kinky human hair allows you to wash, dye, and re-style without compromising the hair’s texture or softness.
