Go to another loctician, RUN

[@funwithmons]

lol I did but guess what still get the headaches but they not as bad I think it’s just my head lol cuz they say they don’t get this complaint from clients really. But the one I go to now is good it not an over the top headache it just lasts for a little bit n not as intense.

[@maureensewer2019]

Retightening should NOT HURT! Run and run fast and far away from the loctician!

[@bossdivabarron1973]

It's also sometimes the combs that they put in your hair to separate your hair. It pulled, and that was happening to me and I'd said something to my loctician So that could be it, but your hair. Or your head should never, ever ever ever ever. Be hurting, not 1 day, not 1 second nor hour. Red flag.​

This is my experience too my scalp hurts the lady is so ruff and I told her

[@shirleydaniel622]

Thank you so much for posting. I am considering for my fine hair and am nervous for the first time because I am sure I will look like a chicken head at first. Thanks for the tips and encouragement!

[@funwithmons]

lol no problem it’ll look great in time lol

[@bossdivabarron1973]

It should never hurt. It could be the Combs or the things that she's putting in your hair to separate it.

I don’t have pain with reties BUT my scalp itches like CRAZY for about a week after. It’s my least favorite thing about my locs

[@funwithmons]

Oh that would annoy me lol how long have you been loc’d? Has it always been the case since you loc’d it? Is there something you use that helps to ease the itch?

[@carlac9782]

Re-ties should NOT cause so much pain. Is your scalp that tender? Is your loctitian or your DIY intent on doing too many rotations? Try not to focus on having "perfect" locks. Brushing your locks with a soft brush may help with frizz. If you color your locks they will definitely need something like humectant to keep them from neing drying out and breaking.

[@funwithmons]

Exactly I figured they shouldn’t but I tried someone else and it only hurt when she styled it after so I never did that again lol I still get a headache but very light and bearable with the new person. But yea I’m just embracing the journey since I’m fairly new to it so seeing what works and what doesn’t lol and yea only coloring it once in a blue moon. I’ll try the brush re the frizz. What about loc gels?
