They can either be installed by parting hair into sections first. But depending on the desired length you can braid your natural hair or add extension hair for extra length. Next the braid is wrapped with additional hair around the shaft. This can be a kinkier/coiler hair for added friction to hold the locs. Straight hair can be used, however this can also slip off because of the texture. Finally, during this time extra pieces of curly or wavy hair is added along the shaft of the hair to create the curly loc look.
