Thanks for your time, and yes, you were helpful! The locs themselves are pretty thin (bought on amazon, link to the ones I got for reference: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GDFZLCN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
I think they were just made for the cornrow method, as it was too thin to pull through too. I managed to wrap a very thin braid, but it still was poking through. I am probably gonna try the "wrap extra hair" method as it seems promising and easier.
