One of my first retwist

#retwist #newgrowth #retwistbydessi #Cosmetology #hairstylistlife✂️💈💇🏻

2025/4/6 Edited to

Retwisting is a crucial practice for maintaining healthy dreadlocks and promoting new growth. In this article, I explore various retwisting techniques that can help you achieve beautiful, well-maintained locs. Using products like delta dry helps to reduce frizz while enhancing hold. Additionally, understanding the importance of a proper retwist schedule is vital for anyone with textured hair or locs. Regular retwisting not only keeps your hair looking fresh but also promotes scalp health by encouraging circulation. For those seeking guidance in cosplaying as a hairstylist, learning the intricacies of retwisting can be your key to mastering textured hair care. Keep an eye on the latest trends in cosmetology and share your experiences using hashtags like #retwist, #newgrowth, and #hairstylistlife. Be sure to connect with fellow cosmetology enthusiasts and learn from their unique approaches!

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

How long should I wait for a retwist? As someone whose hair is thick but wavy/curly, I chose to go the route of keeping my loc ends curly. But I want to know how much I should get my hair retwisted so that’ll loc appropriately and not thin. (I’m 6 months loc’d in btw). #startedlocjourney #bla
