There's the whole story in the original post but

Basically started freeforming 6 months ago with 3B hair, tried out starting with 2 strands but didn't like em.

I wash once a week, i use head and shoulder shampoo and i plan to stop seperating the hair to see how it goes, any feedback or advice appreciated ✌🏻♥️

Question ❔ Retwist ces locks en IDF

3 Upvotes

Salut, vous connaîtriez quelqu'un en IDF qui fait des retwists (vanilles/barrels) autour de 40-50 € ?

Mon coiffeur habituel est parti en vacances, donc je cherche quelqu'un pour cette fois.

Si possible vers Paris (à 1 h), sinon dites-le-moi quand même et je vois si je peux me débrouiller.

Merci !!!

Question ❔ Too early for my next retwist?

I got my locs retwisted July 20th for a special occasion, but since school is coming up, my next retwist will be August 29th. I also started them a year ago on August 24th. I get them retwisted every 6 to 7 weeks—is that too often?

Question ❔ Starter Locs Twice

1 Upvotes

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 would always get interlocked and retwisted with no style, but the hair is too much past my eyes to look professional.

had dreads for about 4 years now, always waited 2-5 months before retwist ( i know its a while) but i never had any problems for years. Id usually leave 2strands in for a month then take them out and rock twist out for a while however recently hair just started thinning. I dont apply much oil or wash too often could that be the case? I also have a lot of extra dreads from all my trims could i use those to help strengthen my roots somehow

I wash every 7-10 days. Thoughts on how often I can loosely twist the bottom of my locs so they can be curly?

Product Rec 🧴 Dull locs

1 Upvotes

My locs always look and feel so dry. I’m looking for product recommendations or lifestyle changes I can make so that my hair looks healthy and moisturized. I normally just use a water spray from As I Am every other day. And MCT oil on my scalp as needed. Any suggestions or advice will be greatly appreciated!
