Once your Microlocks are mature and have settled you have the opportunity of taking the retightening class.
Will Microlocks cause thinning or Breakage?
There are a lot of factors that can cause your hair to break or thin but it's not the Microlocks themselves. It depends on your consultant/trainee retightening your hair properly and not too tight. It also depends on the client keeping up with the appropriate retightening schedule. Also keep in mind certain medications, health conditions, and genetics can be a factor, as well as deficiencies in supplements, vitamins, protein, or iron, etc.

Please note that coloring your Microlocks can alter your hair texture.

There is no set date on when your Microlocks will mature however it really depends on what you do and don't do as far as taking care of your Microlocks. Also length, and texture are factors of when your Microlocks will mature.
Are Microlocks permanent?
No. Micrlocks can be taken down, however it is a very tedious process. Not to mention the time and money that is vested in starting your journey will be wasted. You do not want to start this journey with the intention of taking your Micorlocks out. Think of it being a lifestyle.
