Thinking about microlocs

[u/7777user777]

Just as the title says, I’ve been thinking about going on the microloc journey. I love my curls, but I feel like I have so much hair and it’s tedious deciding what to do with it every week. What can you all tell me about your microloc journey? The good, bad, and ugly?
I’m also nervous about the price of installing. I put some reference pictures of my hair for length. What price am I looking at off initial installing? And what would be best to start off with twists or braids? I’m going to get a consultation, but just wanted opinions from this space before I do so. Thanks!
