What Does Microlocs Interlocking-End-to-End Mean?
When microlocs are installed, one of the 3 installation techniques is the Interlocking-End-To-End. This means that the interlocking tool used to create the loc is installed at several points, creating a rotation. Imagine a clock, the rotation would be inserting the locking tool at 12 o’ clock, it comes out at 6 o’ clock. The tool is then inserted again at 3 o’ clock, it comes out at 9 o’ clock. The outcome is one rotation.
Rotations are repeated, starting at the tip of the hair and ending at the scalp. Hence longer installation periods are required for the Interlocking-End-To-End installation.
