I have a 10 year daughter with locs and she hates to have them retwisted. I'm a hairstylist so it bothered me at first, but now that I see how beautiful they are, I'm okay with just shampooing and moisturizing.

I’m so glad you warmed up to not retwisting...I know it can be frustrating managing children’s hair. I think as long as your daughters hair is healthy it shouldn’t matter if it’s freshly retwisted or not

Sadly, we have been "conditioned" by other black people to think our hair is not fresh or neat when it is not retwisted. I don't think I have ever heard a white person ask "oh girl when are you going to twist your roots" smh

Just because you personally haven’t experienced something negative from another race about “unkept” locks doesn’t mean others haven’t. And I can speak on this because I seen and both heard stories about it . ALSO nobody can just pinpoint it solely on just black people or whatever the cause may be cuz it’s universal all around.

Me too! I just decided to stop retwisting and I love my volume

This makes so much sense. I’m just starting my lox journey but will keep this in mind

This actually gave me some confidence, I'm deffo lacking on moisturising, love this🤗

Thanks for sharing! I'm 2 years into my 4th set of locs and I haven't been retwisting as often as I used. I personally love locs and so glad to see others embracing their natural manes!

Well...what a difference time makes. I am moisturizing my roots diligently and not retwisting my fine hair. My roots have thickened beautifully resulting in some luscious locs.

Your locs are beautiful. Thanks for sharing. On Oct 1st I was like; "hmmm I am not retwisting until Jan". For 5 years I did no twisting and just let my locs grow(starting out) except I wore head scarves. Thanks for the reminder to seperate ..my hair is fine and high porosity. 👑

I retwist very sparingly. I have a new strategy to just do a braid-out twice a month to stop my roots from marrying. Nothing but oil and water for maintenance, ACV every 3 months, normal wash once a month. Das it🤙🏾light, tight, locked 🔒 down💪🏾

Gorgeous locs🫶🏽 Thanks for sharing. Peace and blessings 🙏🏾

I just stopped retwisting after almost 7 years. I love my newfound volume already. Thank you!

Your hair looks sooooo beautiful! I can relate to the whole beauty standard thing.

I thank you for this video I haven't retwisted mine in 4months and I was thinking it was good for my hair but everyone else is saying it stops your growth but seeing your I know I'm on the right track when I finally get a retwist I believe they will be amazing thats for the video again very inspiring

#Subscribed - Your perspective was enlightening! I’m 3-4 mos loc’d. My hair was thin when I started and I wanted to stop brushing/combing and pulling it out. Thru time the thickness and healthy look was restored! You explained it perfectly. Letting our hair mesh naturally is 🔑 Locs heal. Your hair is so full and lovely! Thanks for locing outside the box!!

I'd decided to grow locs after the pandemic outbreak kicked in back in March of 2020. But now I'm rocking a brush cut til I'm growing a Afro til I get locs in April of 2022. Btw I'm happy that I'm still a part of the dreadlock community. Love 💕

Excellent, Love starts with oneself

Thank you for watching, I really appreciate it! Oh yeah a retwist is nice once in a while, but it can never and shouldn’t be a standard out scalp deserves a break

My hair is actually more dryer with going longer without retwisting which actually gives me more volume and puffs but my hair is naturally softer so it feels unfamiliar to me so I make sure I add moisture every other day instead of 3-5 days when its retwisted. As of now (6 months in) my hair seems to be locking better. I washed it and didnt retwist on purpose and I love it but I do seperate them daily to prevent tangling.

1 year and 3 months into my loc journey and so only get a Retwist like 3 times a year I love the frizzy look you have to embrace every stage on your Loc journey

I found my loc sister my new growth looks like this i dont retwist a lot now I’m going six month no retwist i dont care for the fresh look because my hair is thick an pretty 😍

I think as long as there isn’t too much tension on your hairline ever, you should be okay! Not retwisting can also damage your hairline if you always have your hair in a tight ponytail or bun

Great video!!! I love it!!! I retwisted my locs one week ago. I wanted to get the frizz out and I think I may have retwisted too tight. Now I can visibly see that my locs have gotten a bit thinner☹️. Do you think my locs can thicken back up again?

Thank you Beautiful One!

Yes, thank you!

It’s kinda crazy for me to say this but neglecting your locs leads them to thickness and mature very versatile 💯🤧

My hair is coily and fine and tangles so freaking easily (which is a good thing for dreads) but that also means my locs try to marry so fast. But I love the look of frizz and volume over the scalpy retwisted look. I never comb my hair when i retwist. I just interlock loosely or twist around a bit

What is your opinion on thinner locs not being retwisted? I have to say that I'm not as diligent with moisturizing my scalp as a non-retwister, and is probably the reason for my thinning roots. Gonna change up my game to see if there will be any changes.

Retwists made me lose my volume. I either do a twist out or braid out and it keeps the roots separated so they don’t marry. Pop your locs each wash and marrying will be the least of your worries!

If you gently separate your locs every morning you can go longer between retwist... I decided at the beginning of my third month that I would retwists every four months; however I still “take care” of my hair... the less you manipulate, the better...

I waited anywhere between 6-8 months, but I'm a 7 year freeform hippy. I'm seriously debating never having them professionally done again. I relied on God only for the first 4 years, then went to a loctician who interlocked me and I really hate the look and have super tight roots. I'm done. Back to letting God do my hair ❤
