    Love the video -tips on re-twisting locs yourself because I maintain my own I’m almost 1 month in yes I will be maintaining my locs my self
    1. Don’t re-twist to tight
    2 . It’s really just maintaining the loc and sections of your hair
    3 try it one time and see how your results would be
    4 take your time in doing a re-twist / also use light products so you don’t get build up ( I re-twist with aloe Vera gel and oil + water
    5 last tip I promise let the re-twist sit at least over night so it can set *remember to never re-twist on dry hair also tie your hair down with a satin scarf as well ✨❤️

    I love the fact that you have incorporated your Moms journey, hoping to see more of her journey. I use the T. G. I. N gel but I dilute it to a liquid form with aloe Vera juice and water and put it in a spray bottle, but it works wonders " diy liquid gel" 😂

    Hi! I’m just curious. I noticed that she palm rolled on the entire length of your mom‘s locs but just a root of your locks is there a reason for that? I was just wondering which I should do for my first retwist. Plus does the answer differ with how your locks were started (aka two strand twist versus coils)?

    How many weeks before your mom's first retwist? Her hair is fine and could still see her partings. She can get away with prolonging her retwists in comparison to those with thicker hair textures. Btw both your locs are beautiful 💕
