Retwist my Locs with me (for the first time) 😱

2024/10/22 Edited to

... Read moreRetwisting locs at home can feel daunting, especially for beginners. This process not only helps maintain the style but also encourages personal care for your hair. When learning to retwist, a few essential steps include choosing the right products such as moisturizing gels and edge controls specifically designed for locs. It’s beneficial to section your locs as you work, ensuring cleaner lines and neater parts. Beginners should remember that practice makes perfect; the goal is to feel comfortable with the process. Engaging with online communities through hashtags like #womenwithlocs and #locstylesforwomen can provide support and inspiration. Additionally, information on hair health is critical—keeping locs clean, hydrated, and well-conditioned promotes overall hair wellness. As you gain confidence in retwisting, your technique will evolve, so take your time. Enjoy the journey of maintaining your locs!

Had a little client who was allergic to nuts and the oil that I used has almond oil in it, I use oil after I do a retwist with gel. But since I couldn’t use the oil, I thought that a foam would be moisturizing, so I decided to go with a safe option and use foam. I used the lotta body setting foam.
