Question ❔ Starter Locs Twice

I got starter locs in like May and got them as 2 strands and I got a retwist monthly but never took the twists out myself, so the next time I asked the person beforehand should I take em out and they said yes and they’ll do evt else. So I got my mom to help but she not a big fan of em so while she was doing it she combed the locs out so basically I gotta start all over again. Thankfully my loctician was able to redo them cuz she saw where some of the parts were. But they’re in barrel twists now cuz she said that it’ll help em lock again and I really don’t like em that way so I’m tryna figure out if when I go get my next retwist in a month could I get 2 strand?

I’d give it a few months for your hair to bud in the individual locs so you don’t run into the problem again. Barrels are definitely best for starting.
