Retwist 🫶

... Read moreRetwisting is a crucial technique for maintaining natural hairstyles, especially for those with textured hair. It involves redoing the twists on your hair, which helps in defining curls, reducing frizz, and extending the life of your styles. To start, ensure your hair is clean and well-moisturized before you begin the retwisting process. Products such as leave-in conditioners, curl creams, or oils can provide the necessary hydration and hold for your twists. When retwisting, divide your hair into manageable sections. This not only makes the task easier but also ensures a more uniform look. Start from the back and work your way to the front, using a method that works best for your hair type, whether it be two-strand twists or flat twists. Take your time with each section, ensuring the twists are firm but not too tight, to avoid unnecessary stress on your scalp. Additionally, consider the use of styling clips for added definition as the twists set. You can also opt for a satin or silk scarf to wrap your hair overnight to maintain moisture and reduce frizz. As you embrace the retwisting process, remember that practice makes perfect. With each attempt, your technique will improve, leading to enhanced styles that reflect your unique aesthetic.

Retwist timeeeee :) ✨
It takes me one juicy ‘Messy Monday’ to retwist my hair and sometimes a ‘That’s Your Story’ by Gotdamnzo. I think I want to do a style but I’m so used to doing curls and calling it a day and being more than satisfied… I think I’m hesitant because everything else requires more tension. Tensio

I was very excited but also was very skeptical about getting a style for my first retwist. I love it but I’ve been hearing a lot of don’ts for starter locs and one that I’ve heard is to let your hair mature first before you get styles. I’m still learning and I appreciate any information given to

Time For Loc Surgery🥵: Retwist + Loc Repair🌱 Inspo
Monday was that day — my retwist and loc repair appointment! Let me just say, my loctitian never disappoints. Her vibe is unmatched: positive energy, spiritual wisdom, a place surrounded by plants, spiritual images, and the calming scent of incense filling the space. It’s such a peaceful escape.
