How often should you get a retwist?

  • Опубликовано: 19 авг 2024
  • Regardless of your locs maintenance technique, you should see your loctician every 4- 6 weeks.
    For a palm rolling maintenance and a good loc wash. Spoil yourself.
    Even if you are interlocking or crocheting, get your loctician to evaluate your hair monthly so you don't come up with, "My locs are breaking, and I don't know why."
    If you stick to a consistent loc maintenance routine, you will have no problems.
    You do it with your car, your nails, your waxing routine if you do that, your dental care, etc.
    Add your locs maintenance routine into your routines. You wouldn't skip a car oil change, would you?

    Every 3 months. 4x a year. This is my 2nd set. First set was 8 years and my hair was thick & healthy af. I’m a year into my new set. 💯

      Im not at my 1yr mark yet and I prefer not to retwist too often. I started out going every 6 weeks but went from October-January with zero retwists and I was perfectly ok with my choice. Currently I'm washing and retwisting in my own only because I'm working in person more often😭

    Yes... I was going every 6 weeks and my hair went to thinning cause it was too tight. I think it varies in your hair texture as well, so 4 to 5 time out the year is enough for me.

    • @305divachic
      @305divachic 13 дней назад

      Yeah I think your hair texture makes a difference and your method of retightening and the size of your locs. I have multi textured hair that's fine and small mini locs which I realized after getting loc'd that it could be a problem down the road with thinning, so interlocking ever 4 weeks would be a bad thing for me, I can go 6 and possibly up to 8 weeks but I try not to push it past that depending on how much new growth I have. In between when I wash after I take out the barrel rolls and wear out for a few days I'll wash my own hair and retwist lightly here and there to make sure the locs aren't being strained or to thin until it's time to see my stylist again.

But once them atrands are locd you can retwist twice a year and just keep the haor washed and your hair should be healthier unless theres some health issues going on

    I was thinking, why would I pay for a retwist that keeps unraveling every time I wash my hair. Then I discovered that it's not only the twisting of the locs that helps them form but the parting as well. I lightly wash my hair every other day, even after a retwist, because the parting remains even when the palm rolling unravels a bit. It works!
