First retwist on my starter locs , work flow 🤍

2024/11/17 Edited to

... Read moreRetwisting locs is a crucial step in maintaining healthy and beautiful hair. For those new to locs, this process typically involves sectioning the hair, twisting it tightly to keep it in place, and using products specifically designed for loc maintenance. Popular choices include natural oils and aloe vera gel that help promote hair health. Additionally, it's important to keep in mind that everyone's hair texture and growth patterns differ. Therefore, what works for one person may not be suitable for another. Observing how your locs react to different products over time will allow you to determine the best retwist schedule and techniques for your hair. There are numerous methods and tools available to assist in the retwisting process, such as the use of a palm rolling technique or loc styling gel. Remember to be gentle to avoid breakage and ensure your locs remain strong and healthy. Maintenance frequency can vary based on personal preference and hair growth rate, so listen to your hair and adjust as needed for optimal results.

I absolutely love Marley twists. This is my second time doing them on myself and these are my current “go-to” styles. Usually when I search for inspo on styles to do, I look for loc hairstyles. I feel like this is a great hairstyle for the people who aren’t ready to commit to locking their hair yet
