Retwist locs 😝

It took me 6 1/2 hours and finally finished

2025/6/19 Edited to

... Read moreRetwisting locs is not just a styling choice; it's an essential part of maintaining healthy locs. It involves carefully twisting and securing the new growth to prevent unraveling and promote a clean look. To achieve the best results, consider using a quality locking gel that provides hold without causing buildup. Additionally, it’s essential to create a comfortable environment for your retwisting session, especially if it takes several hours, as it can be a tedious process. To ease discomfort, ensure you have a supportive chair and take breaks to stretch if needed. Following a proper technique can lead to reduced frizz and longer-lasting results, making the investment of time worthwhile. Many also find that incorporating scalp massages during the retwist not only promotes relaxation but also stimulates hair growth. Ultimately, being patient and gentle will yield beautiful and well-maintained locs that you can be proud of.

My TIPS FOR GROWING YOUR LOCS!
#Lemon8Scrapbook - USE Oil ! I know a lot of people say that they don’t use hair oils but I feel like this is why my locs continue to be shiny and don’t break off from being brittle/dry! I use everything from Rosemary oil, to carrot oil, and Shea butter when it comes to my locs. I don’t do it

With my three year anniversary coming up for my locs journey, I decided to do my re-twist early as well as wash my hair and re-color my red so we can be back vibrant and I must say it came out amazing. Really proud of myself for this! #locs #locstyles #healthylocs #locjourney #locsjour
