I never retwisted, never will. Mine always are semi-freeform. The main reason why I grow locs in the first place is to feel free, save time, saving energy and all this trouble with styling and looking polished with my Afro hair. Yours are gorgeous, including and along with the frizzy scalp! 😎

Seeing other people that do semi-free or full free makes me happy cause so many people complicate the process of having dreadlocs these days and make it so if you don’t do retwist you’re gonna thin out and it’ll fall but I’m past a year of no retwist and feel fine. Sort of a nice comfort that there’s others like me

I agree. I'm 22 months with locs...From experience my black hair does best when I wait a while to retwist...The shortest wait time to retwist my hair is 8 weeks...The longest I go is 12 weeks...I wash my locs as often as necessary. I'm in love with the thicker loc look because it looks super healthy and strong to me...I'm also fine with the frizz...I've learned to accept and love my natural self.

When I started my locs, I retwisted every 8 weeks. Kept that up for maybe two years. Then around year 3, I extended my retwists to every 12 weeks; since 2017, every 16-18 weeks. And I love it. End of this month is five years loced. Been flirting with a once-every-six-months retwist, but my sister and mother think I'm pushing it a lot as it is. My edges are grateful though (and so am I since I can't be bothered with spending hours at the hairdresser's on the regular!) Plus I showed them a compilation of pictures of Toni Morrison throughout the years, and the queen has hardly been pressed to keep 'neat' edges. Suh dem need fi 'low mi! Your mane is juicy and gorgeous. And you are stunning. Your bone structure - cheekbones! 😊

I'm a complete newbie (just locked 4 months ago), so I'm binge watching your videos and I'm so encouraged. Just a thought about the buildup your spoke about - If you have locks and want to avoid buildup, the secret is interlocking. All you need is a tool. ZERO product. But then your locks always look clean, so you seem to be doing things right lol!!! Also the resolution of your camera and picture quality of your videos is goals!

This video is RIGHT👏🏾ON👏🏾TIME👏🏾 for me!! I decided last night to stop retwisting my hair, at least so often. I was retwisting on average every 3 weeks after a wash because I felt I 'needed' it. Now my roots are thinner than the rest of my locs. It's stupid because I adore the way my puffy roots give me volume when I don't twist, but I felt like they had to look neat for work. I'm 6 weeks away from my 1 year mark. My other issue is I don't think they are soft. They are actually quite dense and not very flexible or squishy where budding first occurred. I'm on a mission to find a good moisture routine that doesn't incur buildup. I found myself nodding along with your comments in the video. You are gorgeous and I absolutely 💖love💖 the thickness and fullness of your hair. And I'm starting to feel more confident about my own appearance complete with frizz and puffy roots,😅 lol.

Phianett I can relate to your journey! I too was washing and retwisting at the same time thinking I needed to keep them looking “fresh.” A guy I met when leaving a grocery store last weekend told me not to retwist often but wash it two to three times a month. So I have to find the right moisturizers and wash only. I plan to go with the interlocking, still thinking about it though.

I started off my locs using interlocking then I transitioned to palm rolling. My locs started off sort of skinny and tight but a month after palm rolling and I already started noticing a difference in size. I ended up cutting off my interlocked ends because I wanted to and I didn't think it looked good with the rest of my locs since they were relatively bigger.

My scalp is very sensitive and I hate product build up so when I decided to stop going to a loctian, MY HAIR CHANGED FOR THE BETTER. I only lightly retwist when I wash to avoid that scalp look. I like the thick puffy look. I have gotten soooo many compliments on my hair and I think its because I dont over do it with products and styles, I just let it hang naturally 😊 Aloe vera is the absolute best product, I mix peppermint oil and retwist with it and lightly oil my ends

I’m one year and 9 months in and my locs are really thick, which I enjoy. I would go periods in free form and it was my absolute favorite but I started to let opinions get to me and would start retwisting once a month. After my last one I’m just overrrr trying to keep up with it. I have loose curly hair & it looks good for maybe 2 weeks with a retwist and then the high of that is over immediately. It’s so much more comfortable having thick roots and volume and having a more low maintenance approach.

I've had my locs since 1998 or so. I've been that one to retwist every two weeks, because I loved that fresh look. Well I am getting older and I started with thin hair so the retwisting has been taxing on my hair and scalp. I will rewash every two weeks, sometimes shampoo (bar) and condi or sometimes just a condi wash. Two weeks ago I did not retwist. it is time for a washing but was thinking to retwist now seeing your vid I will go another two without retwisting. I wash and roll on pipe cleaners. I love the thicker look to my hair too. Past the retwisting has put too much tension on scalp and locs so no retwisting and embracing the frizz is the new me. I did hit my edges with gel today just because I have an issue with one side due to a reaction to some all natural product. Anyway, loved the video and your hair is amazing. Thank you for sharing.

Your locs look amazing! And I agree that the less you twist the better. I only retwist every 3 months because I prefer the thick full look.

This is my reason for holding off. About to start up a 5 day a week, with 3 days being yoga, or hot yoga regimen. It's a waste of time and money to retwist now LOL

In a few days, it'll make 7 months since my last retwist. Usually I get my hair done every 4 months, but something told me not to just yet. Not only is it so much less taxing on the scalp as compared to constant maintenance, I've unlocked another level of self-love. I've mastered every quick style EXCEPT, the bun lol. I'm the first person to grow locs in my family so I've been looking on TikTok and KZbin for tips and tricks, and it's still a challenge. I know I'll master it soon though. The new growth is thick, and I love it. Although I kinda miss that "nobody talk to me right now, I'm fine again" feeling associated with a retwist, I just appreciate having locs either way at this point. I love your locs btw.

@@SisterSoko I actually love it, I really just want my hair to breathe for awhile, I'm not a fan of parts either and with only 65 locs they tend to make my head look bigger 😂 but when the new growth hits, the volume looks lovely on my round face. To keep a semi professional look (career in Gov), I braid them after a wash, undo once air dried, and wear them crinkled or in cute pony or bun.

I try to twist at every 3 months in between time I wash my twist every 3 weeks if not longer. I definitely do agree not to retwist so often it will put a strang on your hair and I also bet in conditioner as well as oils to help with keeping the moisture in the scalp, my scalp drinks up a lot. Thank you for your video it was very informative.

Just decided to stop retwist my my hair. That was the only reason I went to a loctition. In the age of Covid-19, I decided to maintain my hair myself and I am not doing all that! Looking forward to starting this journey.

So lush and beautiful! I can't stand the scalpy look when I have a fresh retwist. I prefer it when it's about 2 - 3 weeks after. I love big hair. When I had my 1st set which was 5 yrs, I would retwist every 4-5 weeks. I've started over and I'm two months into my journey and I'm retwisting every month. However, I will probably go longer without a retwist as they mature.

Hello! I'm new to the loc world I have baby locs they are 8 months old and I plan not to retwist too often, I've seen so many people lose their locs and/or their edges due to over-manipulation and that terrifies me. I love your locs and they do look thick and luscious

Great video, I have just stuck to semi freeforming because doing anything else to my hair makes me look scalpy as I have fine hair. I get more volume and I love how it looks, if I want it to look a bit neater say for an occasion, I just use a little bit of gel or castor oil on the edges and that's it really. 😊

Your hair type makes it so easy to go without retwisting too often, and yes it looks so beautiful puffy. My hair type is closer to straight and not retwisting makes it look too messy, but it's still good to give it some rest and not do it too often.

That's my issue. My hair is thin and 3C with super shrinkage (I'm surprised it locked, to be honest). I twist every 1-2 months. I also wouldn't mind not retwisting often if I had her hair texture. It looks good. I'd look a mess going beyond 2 months.
