Can you do a video on the hair loss condition you were talking about n tell us causes of it and ways to prevent it
yoo hopefully you reply back, but I had my two strands in for about more than two months, should I get a retwist now or wait till they fully lock up? And if I do get a retwist now do I have to wash my two strands before getting then retwisted?
Do you wash your hair after the twistout? Or do you just leave it let it loc up like that?

Soo I’m finna get starters locs and I’m use two strand twist but I want mines to lock up in a twist strand twist out how do I do it😢
I have 3b/3c hair and want to loc. I’ve been researching instant locs because I was unsure if my texture would loc on its own, but what you said about it being hard to comb out that method of loc, I’m now leaning toward trying out comb coils. Could I use got 2b gel at the roots to keep the coils in their own section?

take tiny rubber bands and put them on the roots, stay away from too much gel, and wash twice a month
To TLDR what my stylist told me, she basically said my twists lock up when I decide to stop coming in for a retwist and I just needa keep my scalp moisturized. Is it that simple? Do I just let me hair rock now and don’t ever go back to the stylist?
If I plait the ends just to seal it and make sure it doesn’t unravel does that make a massive difference in the locking process

The hair still have to naturally lock so even the braid will go through it’s own locking stage and shrinkage u risk having two different sized dreads

Don’t retwist to often or else your dreads will thin out maybe you could put them back in but make sure you don’t maintain them too often like every week maybe once a month you could put in two strand twist and maintain it again just make sure you don’t do retwist to often cause that can lead to traction alopecia

@@Unknown-bc6qw i definitely did see a difference. I mostly tell my stylist to keep my parts thick. (which ever u prefer). And also I don't get retwists often(I get em everyone 6 months) so that thick foundation can build up and not look so "scalpy". Alot of ppl can handle that long 6 months thats just my thing.. just don't get a retwist every month type ish or you'll look bald and end up getting "barrel twist" all the time to give you that "thick" look. If you just have to have the fresh retwist look try to hold out at least 3 months. Also oils weigh your locs down which ="bald scalpy look" If you want volume, thick foundation... use natural plant water-based and don't go crazy with oils. Unless you just like the fresh retwist look. I use rose water(smells fire) every 2 days to keep them hydrated and growng so I don't have to mess with oils. Not everyone has this issue but oils made my head itch but it did help it grow fast ("black castor oil plant based" all natural). So I use the castor oil once a month bc its all plants n fruits so it does help but imagine the migos and imagine Bob Marley...which style fits you and rock out from there. Welcome to the community!
