    Yes, I washed my hair every 2 weeks though I didn’t retwist. There are several updates where I am literally washing my hair on camera. The thumbnail is sarcasm, since many of you think no retwist equals no wash and even worse some think locs equal dirty.

      Some people are just ignorant about Locs🤦🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️. We just need to educate them.
      I tried to freeform or about 3 to 4 months and then I retwisted. It was hard because I am that girl that loves to see the crisp parts in my hair. Mind you I’ve been locked for about 10 years now🤦🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️😆. Thanks for doing what you do in education!🥰✊🏽

    What you share is so important for so many reasons! Not only do you provide the how-to, how-not-to, but you are an inspirational example of how to love one's natural, of African-descent, self. You are so naturally beautiful. By affirming and embracing your own natural self, you give us the encouragement to do the same, and with confidence. And we can't use too much of that. Thank you so much. I've been keeping up with you for a while and just want to let you know how meaningful your work is. Please continue to share. And I am putting in my request to see all of the styles you did during your period of not retwisting. Best wishes to you and your beautiful family.

    I totally agree, it all is so simple, you don't have to have all the things and productive ppl say you have to have. I never use product for a retwist and I have no problem with it lasting. It will last from wash to wash.

      No nothing, I used leave in condition and i oil my scalp then retwist if I feel like retwisting. And even with that I don't use a comb or clip most of the time I use hair pins, its all very simple for me .I wish you luck on your journey

  • @Iamrahcole
    @Iamrahcole 6 лет назад +4

    Beautiful locs. I just started my 2nd loc journey almost a month ago. After watching your videos I decided to not use gels to retwist my hair and I must admit I see no difference between using gel and using oil and water. I agree it's all in the technique. Right now I'm retwisting every 2 weeks to encourage the locs to form since I have baby locs. But I"m hoping by month 3-4 to only retwist once a month and begin to stretch it as the locs mature. I too want to preserve my parts but I love the look of fuller roots as well. So for me semi-freeforming is a happy medium.

    I started my locs about 6 weeks ago. My hair is between 5 to 7 inches and I used little bantu knots to start them. I only use coconut oil and a mix of aloe juice and castor oil. My head barely itches and doesnt smell. I had dreads 12 years ago and I had no idea how to take care of them properly and they still looked great. With all the new information I have now, I cant wait to see how they turn out.

    Thank you for the TRUTH! I love your hair, it's so beautiful! I previously had locks that were also beautiful, but I just wanted to do something different for whatever reason. I was locked for 9 years and I transitioned out of them in 2017. Now, in 2019, I'm going to lock it up again. I missed it and from watching you, I know how I want to start and maintain them. Thank you more than you know. I appreciate you.

    Just started my own retwist. It's very frustrating but I'm persevering coz it's very expensive going to the salon and my pennies could be better spent elsewhere. I love how patient you are are with your hair and your explanation just keeps me motivated and inspired. Only one month retwist ed but from the front, which is so much softer than the rest I can't get it to stay. Anyhoo before I go off on a rant, thank you so much for your videos. I keep learning more and more so hopefully next retwist should be easier. Bless up

It’s been a year and I’ve been wanting to do twisting instead of interlocking (mainly lack of time for me). It was my first time trying this method and it came out very well.

Hopefully down the road when my hair flourish to the point i can space out my retwisting I might reconsider. Thank you

    Thank you for sharing your journey. i believe the phase the had the most new growth was due to the the scalp being simulated blood flow while gathering into a bun promoting hair growth.

    That totally helped me, cause I haven't twisted my locs for a least 3 or 4 months

    Just found your video.... New subbie can I just say your Locs are simply beautiful.... I need to find your first video where you started your no retwisting journey... I think I may have to go down that route. As my Locs have become very thin on top (I've always had fine hair)

    I have loc extensions and this month is the month that I’m gonna go a year without a retwist because I want thicker roots. Wish me luck 🤞
