I thought I was the only who forgets which way I’m twisting at random times.
🤣no
Definitely not. I do it all the time when retwisting lol
I love it, I'm out here in Germany with no loctician and I'll have to do the two strand myself and this helped out a lot.
Hey I’m sooo glad this video helped you out ☺️
There are locticians in Germany
im a half german half nigerian living in germany and there are locticians in germany but u gotta be connected and there are somewhat hard to find
Yes ma'am this method works for me and I love the way it looks after too thank you been looking for a faster way to retwist my locs that they actually stay twisted after and won't be uncomfortable with a thousand pins or clips
Yesss I don’t like using those clips anymore lol this way is much easier
This is awesome! I was so aprehensive about doing my own hair as I am still less than two months old. Thank you for sharing your process! This helps me alot!
You’re welcome I’m glad my video could help 😊 enjoy your new beginnings on your loc journey!!
Your Locs look good and you did a great job on the retwist/2 strand... Stay Loc’d!!!
Thank you!!! 😊

Thank you ☺️ and yes please let me know how everything works for you!!! 💜
Omg. You have so much patience and your hair shows. Its pretty 🤗 I wash hot oil dry and go..lol
Thank you it’s no fun process that’s for sure lol arms be hurting, and ain’t nothing wrong with that hot oil dry and go I do that sometimes lol

D•JaMx you’re very welcome 💗
Great job they came out really nice!
Thank you😊
I've just retwist my hair, and I do find it helpful twisting two locks amongst each other to hold.
Yes, it helps the retwist to last a little longer!! That’s why I like to do this style lol!
N I C E !!!!!! ... very good job 🙌
Tonya Morrison LadyBugTLuv thank you so much 💕
You definitely helped a sistah out cause I’m due for my retwist TODAY 😅
Yessss Im glad I could help, I just did my retwist on Monday lol!! 🤎
Watching this with my 2 year old daughter and she said, “She soooo pretty!” 😍
Awwwwww, thank you baby girl ❤️ thank you guys for watching!!!
I just started my dreads and i wanted to learn how to retwist into 2 strand and this video is a big help
Langston Roberts I’m so glad this video showed you the information you needed 👍🏾💜 may you have a flourishing loc journey!!! :)
@@BeingCHIZ Thank you
Absolutely beautiful!!!!!
Thank you so much! 💜
Thank you for the video! I love re-doing my own locs to save time and money. When you two strand, do you leave it up, or do you take it down the next day. Just wondering.
Hey love your welcome and I leave my twist in for a week so that my out come can be more defined! 💕
Beautiful all around Sis.
Awwww thank you so much 💕
Ohh we’re at the same length 😍😍 I don’t use any product for my Retwist (just water and oil) but I love the result of yours
Awwww thanks love, i wanna try that method one day. I work outside so I’m not sure how long my Retwist will last, think I’ll try it one day tho! 💕💕
Being CHIZ I work outside too! I do a lot of roofing and yard work! My Retwist last about 2-2 1/2 weeks. I just have to take extra caution when I wash my hair so it doesn’t make it super frizzy.
Ahhh nice do you do a protective style after your re twist?
Being CHIZ I mean I used to be able to slap a wig on it 😂😂 but I can’t do that comfortably anymore - I have done faux locs on top of my real locs as a protective style tho
What outdoor work do you do ?! I’m thinking on majoring in environmental science so that I can work outside and make some good money lol
I attempted this and it came out good as if I went to a loctian you saved me so much money
Yesss I’m glad your hair came out good!!! Yeah that’s why I had to learn how to do my own Locs, I know going to the Loctician can be pricey!
My locs are the same length a lil longer but I’m going to try and do this style 😂‼️
Corrinaa 125 yes do it ❤️❤️
You go Gurllll
I Am Me You Are You thank you 😊 ❤️
My hair is too course and when I wash my dreads they puff up 😭 and the mango and lime gel doesn’t have a strong hold for my hair, what do you suggest?
Hey I use taliah waajid tight hold it’s the orange label, try that and let me know how that works for you! :)
would you recommend washing your hair while it is in the two strand twists?
I would say you can wash it while it’s two strand twisted, but I would keep an eye on it afterwards though (depending on how long you keep them in after it’s washed) so that your locs wont start to loc in together at the roots! :) I hope this helps!
Other than that of course it looks awesome! 🥰
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
Wow look at that length check your hair has grown so much in three years 😃
Yesssss it’s the length check is crazy now lol 💓
Nicely done and informative video! Shout-out to your arm's for holding you down because I know that they was on 🔥🔥🔥
#LocVibez
Thank you so much, and yes arms be on fire 😂😂
You a cute little petite thing ain't u!!! And what were u spraying in it?? Just water to keep it moist???
Im not sure if this a dumb question but my boyfriends locs are thin and I was wondering if I do the two strand twist method eventually will his hair loc up like that if left long enough 🤔not to stay twisted forever just to make his locs thicker
Not a dumb question at all love, but yes if he wants them thicker the two strand twist method will eventually form into one loc. I twisted two of my locs during a retwist and now it’s one loc :)
Hope this helps 😊
That is a dam good job 🤗 and I'm actually watching self done loc videos, cause I'm having a hard time keeping up with with reliable loctitions and maybe inspired to try and start doing it myself 🤔
It’ll also save you money because I know for me going to the salon often can get a bit pricey! It may take you a little longer to do it yourself (at least for me) but you’ll get the hang of if the more you did it!!! :)
How did you part the back so neat and well?
I was back n fourth in my mirror making sure everything was straight, arms was killing tho lol
I really want to do this on my short starter locs. How do you cover them when you're going to bed?
Hey there, I just use my bonnet for bed time! ❤️
This is nice. Ima try this out. I rather try and do my own hair then pay someone to do it. My locs are longer so it might take me a minute but thanks for the video.
Yes all I did was watch a few RUclips videos and I took it from there! My Locs have grown soooo much since this video but doing your own hair will save you some coins lol
You’re welcome love 🤎
Do you know when will the twist lose the curl pattern in turn into dreads
Well for me I didn’t start seeing a change like budding until about months 3-5 months. That’s when I started seeing actual change :)
NICELY DONE. WHENEVER YOU WANT TO WASH THE LOCKS DO YOU DONSO WITH THE TWIST IN?
You can wash them if you want to, but I don’t I take them out like a week or two prior to washing them
Your hair is amazing. Just wondering how you did the back tho..just by feeling ?
Hey I do both use the mirror and feeling through if I’m not in the mood for holding a mirror. I just check to make sure my parts are straight.
@@BeingCHIZ okay. I‘m trying it today, pray for me 😆🙏🏽
@@maillereacts954 you got this!!!!! Let me know how it comes out 😊
Why do you curl your ends instead of leaving them straight when you put the rubber bands on there
Hey, because some of my locs are not the same length so when I do two strand twist them they look uneven lol so I just curl them under to make it look neat! :)
so just making sure I understand: i also retwist to the left so does that mean when you do the rope twist, you're twisting them to the right (left loc over right loc) or is it the same direction as the retwist (right loc over left loc)?
Hey, yes love left over right!!! Twist the opposite of the retwist! ☺️🤎 let me know how your retwist go!!!
@@BeingCHIZ ok thanks so much i think i understand now :)
I had concern is this a style or will this makes my dreads combine which I don’t want to happen I just want it for the style
Hey this is just a style for me but this also could be a way to combine your locs as well!
my two strands always unravel when i do it myself for some reason. no matter how tight i make them
Which way you re twist your hair? I usually do my two strand with a fresh re twist.
Wat should you do if you dont have a even amount so theres 1 left
Hey all I do is just add it to the twist some may have three strands :)
Doing the back of your hair is the hardest! 🤦🏾♂️ how do you go about parting the back of your hair and retwisting it yourself?
Most of the time I try and use a mirror lol it’s a lot of work doing the back for sure! Other times when I’m being kinda lazy I don’t use it I just finger part and use my rat tail comb to make my parts straight.
Nice!
Rebekah Elaine thank you 💗💗💗
How long to keep the two strand twist in ?
I usually keep them in for about a week!
Does two strand twisting your hair reduce the length of your locks? Also how long can you keep them in? Sorry for the questions but I really want to do this but I don’t know if I should wait for my locs to get longer or not. My locs for the back at least come down to my neck and at the front they come down to my eyes/ ears.
No you’re fine lol... I would say the appearance will look a little short but that’s because they will be twisted up. I kept my twist in for like 3 weeks, it helped my retwist stay in longer. My braid out that I just recently took out I had those in for a week. So it’ll really be up to how long you want to keep them in :) I hope I answered all your questions :)
Being CHIZ thank you very much! You were very helpful😊
No problem anytime, I’m glad I could help!! ☺️
Did you retweet to the left and 2 strand twist to the right ?
Yes I did 😊💜
How do you get your parts so kneat?! I have been in the loc game going on 5 years and I struggle with creating good parts! I also would love two strand twist my own hair I don’t get it tho
I try my best to get them neat as I can being that I do my hair myself lol I feel it can be better! I try tho, also I have a new video on how I retwist and two strand twist!! Make sure to check it out ☺️❤️
I be working at comb 😂😂
Gosh ! Your gorgeous 😍
KC Mufasa thank you love 💗
Being CHIZ welcome boo 💕. Insta?
KC Mufasa __chiz__
Being CHIZ couldn’t find you . But follow me . @Idnlahmazi & @Htxbeauty
Cute 😍
bazoo 77 thank you 💜🤗
I have started my locks this time from two strand - as they grow out and I simply twist the existing lock will the newer growth look much different from the two-strand portions? I am curious to know. Thank you for you help.
It all should grow into one loc eventually, I have a friend that’s been growing his for years started with the same method! I can tell at the very tip of his loc I can see the two strand look but it doesn’t look out of place or anything.
@@BeingCHIZ Yeah I was just wondering as you cannot continue to the two-strand once the locs start to mature. Thank you greatly!
@@Zacharias3 you’re welcome ☺️❤️
@@BeingCHIZ whats his page cause thats the reason why i havent loc’d my hair yet cause i want the two strand look as you just explaind thru my whole journey im lucky to come across this look care to explain how he kept it that look
@@tresav4247 hey what’s up, who’s page are you referring too?
Amazing
Thank you ☺️
Doo ok yo experience any product build up and dirt/lint in your dreads from all of the products used ?
Kimmie Cooks hey no I don’t, after I do my retwist I normally try not to put anything else in my hair, except spritz it with water and may be just a tad bit of oil when it’s dry if it’s needed.
How long do you keep that style in
For about two weeks
Love your video. I tend to retwis too. My problem is my hair line. Can you help me with it
Hey what’s up, I can do my best.... what’s going on with your hairline?
@@BeingCHIZ its thinning out
did u start with two strand twist or coils
Hey I started with coils! 💗
Hi , you can tell me why you’re making your end in round shape with the rubber band ?
Hey there, to me at first I didn’t like how it looked twisted all the way and thought that way looked more clean! Now I do twist them all the way down and round when they are not even.
@@BeingCHIZ Ok thank you 😉
@@lamar3832 you’re welcome!!! ❤️
How do you ball the ends of your hair?!
Hey are you referring to the ends of my twist? If so I just fold them and put the rubber band on them.
@@BeingCHIZ yes, thanks!
😍😍😍😍
Harmony Derby thank you ☺️
What’s the name of the song in the beginning? Who’s the artist ?
Balenciaga challenge by 6lack
I been thinking about doing locs 🤔
Whenever you’re ready come on and join the gang lol
Hair grows in a clockwise direction so twisting to the right is correct..
How long have you been loc'd?
August 16th will be 2 yrs ☺️
Finally someone else that twist their hair to the left. I thought I was the only one.lol
Lol nope that’s how my Loctician started them so that’s how I twist them, she’s a lefty lol
Theressa C I twist to the left
Are these supposed to hurt or did I do them wrong ?
No, just make sure not to overly twist to tight! But no this style is not suppose to hurt, which ever way you retwist your loc make sure to do the two strands the opposite! ☺️💜
This instrumental sounds like the instrumental from the phone game called stories lol.
Lol I’ve never heard of that before
how many months are you in ?
Friday the 16th will be 2 years!
How many hours did this take
I can’t remember this was like 2 or 3 yrs ago when I first started retwisting my hair on my own...... but prob like 3hr with breaks in between lol I still take a long time to retwist!!! ❤️
So u dont take down the entire twist? Just the fuzzy top ??
Are you talking about the individual loc it self? If so yes I just retwist my new growth and fuzzy hairs :)
Locs look very healthy! love them
Thanks boo, seeing my growth is just amazing!!!
Hello, how long do you tend to keep your 2 strand twist in your locked hair? Have you noticed significant benefits?
Hey this was my first time doing the two strand twist, but I kept them in for like 3 weeks! I like the out come of the braid out better tho lol. Having my hair twisted or braided up keeps my retwist long lasting 😊
Can you wash these while they are in and the twist out still be okay?
I would say yes you can wash it but just keep in mind with a fresh retwist your roots May get fuzzy. The actual two strand twist will be fine tho, just keep an eye on them after you wash it! You don’t want to start combining together ❤️ I hope this helps! 💜
@@BeingCHIZ Thank you sooooo much! This helped loads. I appreciate the timely reply 😁
@@seaonswaby5026 you’re welcome 😊❤️
When you do your twist, do you twist right over left to keep them from unraveling?
Kamari Rivers yes I do ☺️, since I retwist my roots to the left
Can you untwist it back to what it was before
Yes you can
How long do you keep the twists?
For about 2 weeks :)
Being CHIZ I might do a retwist this weekend. I haven’t retwisted my locs in 6 months or so. Two strand twist style looks fresh ✊🏾🔥
Damion Birge thank you and yes let me know how it turns out
I’ve tried Jamaican mango and lime gel it worked at first but made my scalp extremely dry and I had buildup. What should I use to retwist? My scalp is good when I first get it done. Then a week later it starts itching like crazy.
I use the taliah waajid tight hold orange label, as far as your scalp you can try tea tree, olive, Argan oil etc and see if that works. Those are some of the oils I use on my hair
Davonte Ruckr Cantu twist n loc or define, I can’t remember exactly, cream works very well. And a lightweight gel for the edges.
You look good
Thank you, I appreciate it!! 💗💗
Can someone help me? When I two strand twist my locs it does not stay. What can i do to make it stay?
Hey :) I use black rubber bands for the ends of them and I try to make sure my twists are lil tight! I really hope this helps, are you using rubber bands?
Yes I used rubber bands on the bottom but my dreads just falls out the twist. Idk if it’s my hair or if I’m doing it wrong. Man idk 😂🤦🏾♀️
Hey Terria, the reason they are coming down is bc you are twisting the 2 strands the wrong way. Since her hair is twisted to left, she has to make her 2 strand twist to the right. So, if your hair is twisted to right, you have twist your 2 strands to the left. Let me know if that helps :)
Shidah’s Shenanigans oh wow! That would make sense. I’ll try it and let you know how it goes!
Terria L. Crank You’re welcome! That’s what happened to me the first I tried the 2 stand twist and okay! :)
How often do you retwist?
I try to retwist like every two months
Sometimes sooner than that
Nice video! I tried this before but my locs didn't stay twisted even with the rubber band🤔 I probably gave up too easy but any tips?
Hey, whichever way you re-twist your hair do your two strand twist in the opposite direction. Let me of this helps next time you try it :)
i dont have locs i just wear two strand twist for a protective styling and they're about this length :)
I use to love wearing two strand twist when I was lose natural, so easy to do!!!
I do the same, but I've had the same ones in since May 2018. Every now and then I'll retwist some of them, lol... I'm still contemplating whether I'm going to just let them loc completely. I'm torn because I love how my twists look, I don't want to lose the two strand appearance.
can this work on starter locs ?
I’m sure you can I personally wouldn’t recommend it tho, especially if you have coils as your starter locs! You wouldn’t want to manipulate it too soon and mess up the coil pattern. Maybe like 4 months in you probably can try and start two strand twisting! Just my opinion, hope this helps! 😊
thank you it does imma do another starter loc style
Ok awesome let me know how that’s goes!! :)
@beingCHIZ it went great i love the style i have lol
Yay that’s great!!! 💕 ☺️
How long do it take for your hair to loc in 2strands I left my 2strands in over a month and they still haven’t loc
I started mine as coils, it took about 4 months for me to actually start seeing progress and changes. It’s going to take awhile before you see changes give it like 4-5 months :) let me know how your journey is going by then!!
i started my locs with two strand twists the second time , in about 4-5 months you’ll see where they are definitely loc’d but the pattern is still there . the pattern will start to disappear around like 7 months depending on your hair , it’s different for everyone.
@@kelsiligon6861 u right I started the same way but I lost my pattern around my 5th month
@Boho Trends u could separate
@Boho Trends I seen your starter locs look good. You don't have to separate right now but once it gets locked u might have to when u get a lot of new growth
Everytime I try this they untwist. Any tips?
Hey yes, whichever way you do you’re re twist just make sure your two strand twist is going the opposite way! Let me know if this helps :)
@@BeingCHIZ wowww really? no wonder my shit be unraveling lmao. thanks i'm gonna try this
Good let me know how it works out foryou!!
For you**
Being CHIZ it works! I can’t believe this shit 🤦🏽♂️😂
I can neverrrrrrr get the twists right because it goes against how I already twisted the root. I’m am just sick 😭
Which way do you re twist your hair?
It depends on which way the client’s hair was started. But normally to the right for the re-twist.
Cool if you re twist to the right place he do your two strands to the left :) let me know if that works lol
I feel like this cuts down on time too
Yup it sure does!!
Pretty self
Thank you! ☺️☺️
What is the reasoning for bending the ends with the rubber bands?
Some of my locs are different lengths after I’d twist them, and also to make them look neat/clean at the ends. You don’t have to bend them if you don’t want too.
Being CHIZ thanks so much. I’ll be trying it this weekend
Kayla Jackson you’re welcome 💗
Do tight hold work for 3c hair?
I know 3c textured hair is softer than mine, so I’m not actually sure. But I don’t see why it would not work, the tight hold is a very firm hold in my opinion. My re twist lasted about a good 3 weeks on top of a protective two stand twist style. I think you should try it, I recommend it because I saw long lasting results with my re twist! If you do decide to get it let me know what worked and what didn’t work! Hope to hear from you soon, happy new year!! 😊
Nice
Thank you 😊 💕
Need a bit of help, can you show step by step, please?
Hey there I just posted a new retwist video on my page, make sure to check it out! 💜😊
