The accuracccy about not retwisting often, I’m so glad I learned that early bc I really want thick thick locks not thin. Also this is one of the few videos that’s mentioned eating healthy and drinking water, I really appreciate you bringing that up, it’s about alllll around health and when your body is healthy your hair is healthy

How often do you retwist?

Ngl, I wasn’t paying attention but when you said “Don’t do anything with your hair when your hair is dry.” But when you said it for the third time, I had to look up 👀 lol I got it.

i laughed out loud at the lint mob. that feels so real! also, i had locs for 6 years and never moisturized or used conditioner. ever. when i combed them out, i retained very little because my hair was sooo dry and brittle. like you said, if you plan to have locs forever, it's probably fine, otherwise you need to take care of them! low maintenance not not maintenance.

Retwist also depends on your hair type and if your hair is growing outside of your locs. Everyone's hair journey is different

Hey hey I'm new here. So happy i found your channel. We have a similar hair texture and both started with 2 strand twist. I'm 1 year and 3 months in and I'm loving it. I did notice that with my texture the length of the 2 strand twist sections are taking longer to loc in comparison to persons with looser texture. Your hair is a perfect rep of what's going on with mines.

You ain’t lyin!! You’re hilarious though! LOL! I just got microlocs June 4th. I’ve had my first retie already! Time is flying by and I’m trusting the process because girl, the frizzies and scalpy look is real! 😳

I thank you for these tips. I’m 9 months in and I hate retwisting

This is the most honest advice and you did it entertaining way.

I just have to say that your presentation was off the chain good. Thanks so much.

I like you you’re funny. 🤣🤣. The lint mob that’s coming for me had me in tears laughing. That one quote made me subscribe. I need some laughter in my life lol🤣🤣. Your tips were awesome to listen too. I am almost a year into my journey come June 2022. Boy has it been a journey. At times I wanted to scream because the two strand twist kept unraveling and the frizz is real. I’m a year in and the actual loc is loc’ed but I’m learning the roots will never loc that’s the purpose of the retwist 🙄duh. I was retwisting every week. After hearing so many videos I am at two to three weeks now. The great thing for me is because of spiritual reasons I keep my hair covered in public. If it had not been for that bye bye loc’s. The initial stage and look I would have been quit. I do little styles that help preserve my retwist. I have and continue to do my own hair and I learned everything I know listening to people like you. Lol I was subscribed to everybody initially now almost a year in I’m at like 3 or 4 locsters I am subscribed too you now my 4th😀👍🏽. I have learned to like that unkept look when my loc’s are doing their own thing at the roots, not twisted, the nappy look. I find if I style my locs then it keeps me from retwisting every week or two. I don’t want no thin loc’s 😡. My locs have grown in my journey 😃slowly but I can see the growth. I keep my hair covered for bed ALWAYS never missed a day to ward off the lit mob🤣🤣. If I don’t moisturize daily my locs dry out so I do that daily and I oil my locs with hair growth oil twice a week. I found I just have to learn my hair doing my journey and it will tell me what it needs. I love my locs and I will never comb them out. What’s the purpose of going through the journey to one day comb them out, that’s just silly to me and a waste of time. This is how my hair will be until Jesus comes for me 😳. I look forward to more videos from you because you keep me laughing. How do you deal with the frizz?? Oh and a life saver for me to get my hair to loc and avoid all the constant two strands coming aloose I used a loc tool after 6 months of wanting to pull my hair out and after that first twist with the tool I never had to retwist the loc again. It’s just the roots that come aloose so quickly that drives me nuts. How do you keep your roots twisted for so long to be able to only retwist every 5 to 6 weeks??

I have really enjoyed your videos so far. New subby! I just started my locs a little over a month ago. Scheduled for my first retwist at the beginning of February (almost to the 8 week mark) and I'm so excited. I am hoping I can safely have my locs retightened no less than every 8 weeks, but I have to wait and see what they need. I started out feeling some kind of way about my starter locs, but I am embracing them, me and this journey. Thank you for sharing your journey with our community! 😊

Retwists every 2 weeks don’t hurt but are not necessary. Retwists every 10 weeks or more cause thinning. So I’m glad you said 5-8 weeks. We recommend 4-6 weeks or whenever you have an inch of new growth. Now if you see someone with tiny locs at the root and thick locs at the ends…their locs were started with the wrong size partings. Freeform is temporary but if you freeform it’s better not to ever retwist and maintenance once a year is dangerous. 😳

@@deee8324 Hair grows every day and where 2 different textures meet is a breaking point. Where new growth afro hair meets locked hair is a weak spot basically. And slowly but surely individual hairs separate from the loc. When it finally does get some attention there will be a weak spot in all of the locs. So something must be done with the new growth to make it match the locked hair. Long story short neglect does not cause locs to thicken…it causes the opposite they thin out and break off.

11 years in the game you Do not have to wrap your hair every night especially when short .if you have a satin pillow case that's all you need .I only started covering before year 6 when my hair was no more staying on the pillow. Now it tail bone definitely you can't sleep without bonnet For the lint make sure your hair is covered when you do your house chores .later start brushing with a soft boar bristle brush .before washing so you remove any before it gets embedded into the loc during wash time Lol never heard about the nails. I had nails all the time it's not that important Retwisting wait minimum 2 months to avoid over time thinning but I know some who for 15 years wash and and retwist every 2 weeks and they have no problem .not one size fits all I can spend a full week without moisturising cause my hair is moisturised and sometimes I need to do it daily . listen yo your hair 😊 just like you listen to the rest of your body.

did 2 strands myself finished Jan 1. I'm 16 and i struggle with a lot. this was my third recent attempt. I only use water and an oil mix for moisture and leave my hair alone. i try to wrap my hair up in a scarf. so far day 12 most my hair has shrunk incredibly. as someone with soft 3c4a hair im surprised. im not looking forward to a retwist because most my hair has come undone or grown out but I promised myself I would stick with it. im also planning to attend uni in a couple months.

The most important are hydrating and not over twisting. Wrapping is important, but not every night. I can't wrap for more than 2 weeks at a time, because my scalp gets dry and itchy from the wrap pulling moisture from my hair. And that pressure on the scalp is annoying. A bonnet is definitely a good thing, because it covers the hair without putting pressure on the scalp, tension on the roots, and irritation on the scalp.

I know about 6 of the 7. I think maybe she missed one. I've worn locs 10+ years. For a few of those 10 years, I colored my locs brighter colors. The dyed sections of my locs definitely have more breakage, brittle. I stopped coloring my locs.

Not the entire twist because I've braided my roots, although 2 on my nape are just loose right now and I can't stand it😩. Should i keep keep twisting them (without combing) or leave them alone? By that I mean only twist them when I re-twist my new growth. Thank you in advance❤️

I love your energy and advice. My loctician tried to convince me to come every two weeks for three months! I am approaching my 3rd month on the 4th of March. She told me not to mist my hair with water because it will cause my coils to frizz! At what stage did you start moisturizing your hair with conditioner? She told me to moisturize with oil! My hair texture is similar to yours so you confirm that it takes time but the my coils with thicken in time! Thanks for the advice.

Water and rose water helps with moisture, and you use oil to seal. Water actually helps the locking process.
