Crochet Retwist tutorial by NappStar

[@shrinkagequeenwithlocs]

The stylist looks fine. People are coming for her about her locs. Locs are to be free. As a stylist having locs, people may think the same about me, but I believe locs are a free form of beauty.

[@SeptemberBluez]

Her locs are not natural she literally braids them in dyes them and changes them often… not saying that’s a problem cus she is really good at what she does… I guess most people think cus they’re fake she doesn’t need to be doing locs… i dont have locs yet I still do and install them

[@paulinebaylock8740]

I agree, her hair looks very healthy, I like when I see at least an inch or two new growth, it better and tells me the person isn’t over manipulating their locs… I have 3b&c hair, an initially it’s a real challenge trying to keep the locs from unravelling… you try not to touch them so much, but the hair grows so fast you wind up looking crazy if you don’t “guide the strands😂it gets easier as they mature…

[@Patienceofthesaints]

I don’t trip on her loc’s not being real, what I want to know is she Yahudi?? Please answer that!! She sounds just like k. kardashian. 😮😟☹️😲😏😨🫣🤔

[@lacreshajohnson5576]

What I've gathered there are so many installed forms/type of locs to choose.. "Free form" is just one type on the list.

[@sobombeh]

Well said.

[@nikotademetra1016]

Everyone doesn’t like fresh retwisted locs myself personally I like frizz… the loctician hair looks fine to me 😊

[@truckthings4302]

Why don't people understand its good for your locs not always get a retwist it helps it grow and also less tension and less breakage which is known as free growthing

[@diamond88744]

Yes girly, my hair get twisted, max 6 times within the 365 days of a year.

[@Rocanala]

The people that want perfectly neat locs are those that need not have locs at all.

[@goldennkem]

@@Rocanala I am currently locd,will be one month in tomorrow.I don't plan on ever retwisting and that's my choice. What I have come to understand is,people will do whatever they want to do and face the consequences too...😊 Love&Light💖

[@arickab6114]

@@goldennkemso me being a loctician I wont make money if I tell my clients Im just going to shampoo their hair and send them out with no parts

[@goldennkem]

@@arickab6114 The fact is,everyone wants different things. If it were those with the mentality of not retwisting with every shampoo, they will be totally fine with their no parts hair after shampooing. No qualms... And in such scenario,they would be paying for shampooing. If this isn't what you want,then only taking clients that want a retwist will be best in your opinion as a loctician,because that will make you more money even though, it compromises the HEALTH of your client locs.... Do whatever floats your boat. Love&Light...💞

[@suzannenicholson897]

I really love your work

[@suzannenicholson897]

I wish you came to Long Island

[@user-uv6er3dq9p]

Seeing the loctician with free growing roots.. i knew she was certi. People think locs are supposed to be neat but actually some of the healthiest locs are the ones that look alittle nappy

[@janetwilliams1]

I am a loctician and I must say this method is not for everyone, especially the ones with fine hair. I have had a lot of people come to me needing repairs because of this method being done by other locticians, on their hair..but if it works for you , that’s fine..but it’s a method I don’t encourage.

[@jacolagreene9870]

I know this is a late reply, but what do you suggest for those with fine hair. Loc'd 6 years and my hair is fine and grows outside my locs

[@denise76]

She looks like she needs hers done, too. Stylists are always the last to take care of themselves.

[@diamondonpurpose9145]

She always look like that too👀

[@kpeeskii]

The more tension and pulling on the hair the more breakage you will see. You have to leave your hair alone and it will grow thick and healthy

[@kplove780]

Exactly 💯

[@NicoleSmith-zv2ki]

Lmbo I thought the same thing

[@Unicorn-sg1ls]

Her hair look good! 😅

[@kiki1965]

That's what I need to practice. Great work!!! 👍🏼

[@rachaelburton6019]

Just this clip right here was so helpful for me 💚 thank you!!!! 😘

[@Empatheticallyrising]

I just got a retwist on my super long locs at Napstar on West 23 in NYC. A great experience and service ❤

[@vanitythebeautydr]

The only thing I see wrong is her not even spraying a little water before interlocking it…. MANIPULATING DRY LOCS CAUSES BREAKAGE

[@makeaoffer-_-]

Another way is two strand twisting new growth and loc.... only twist to the bottom of new growth then reverse twist up, then down, up, down. Depends on how long new growth is. I've found it keeps my locs the same width and a good alternative if you plan on combing out.

[@theabundantgem7095]

Y’all worried about her healthy and bountiful locks, whole time she’s repairing ppls locks making them feel whole again! The irony…y’all clicked for a reason…

[@sharonglover9432]

I’d rather do locksmithing and palm rolling instead of using tools and I’d prefer the hair to be damp because dry hair breaks very easily.

[@CateringCrowns]

Why is that? Locksmithjng and palmrolling isn’t a permanent fix tho

[@sharonglover9432]

@@CateringCrowns Are you talking about as far as breakage?

[@CateringCrowns]

@@sharonglover9432dry hair doesn’t necessarily means breakage. It’s still moisturized. And unfortunately crocheting cannot be done on damp hair.

[@lesbrebisperdues]

False

[@tinaisrael118]

I love the locksmithing method. I have no problems.

Oh wow thanks for the tip. I'm going to try this method. Do you add oil after or no? Thanks for sharing sis

[@keekeelion]

Thank you for this, as i need to redo the roots of my son's locks. This looks much easier from the comb twist method I've seen

[@lizreid5781]

I would love for u to start my loc journey you’ve really mastered the beauty of locs and natural hair!!❤

[@autumnm5244]

The reason why she has all that breakage at the root is from ripping through to part the hair when retwisting. I just let me parts do what they do no need for perfect parts. What she has is the end result of that.

[@shanikabradshaw3674]

giiirrrrl u have taught me sooo much love ur vids

thank you for not putting oils or gel because it would cause visible build up in the locs.. love to see this❤

You're very professional. Keep doing what you're doing❤

[@vanessashaw2159]

Great way to pull and loc at the root. Bravo!

[@CDB228]

That breakage comes from using combs to retwist and make the parts straight. Stylist literally break and damage the hair doing that. You get the same results without a comb.

[@autumnm5244]

I literally just commented this. Thats why I dontlet anyone retwist my hair and just do it myself.

[@googleman359]

She is so beautiful

[@erinyoung4646]

One of the best tutorials I’ve seen

[@NekBg27]

Love this can’t wait to try this method.

[@NomadNotMad]

I’ve been doing my own dreads for 12 years.. I’ve always inner locked my new growth with my hands and then retwisted with oil/grease..but now I’m ready to cut them or get wicks

[@TimaMason]

I thought you're supposed to at least moisturize your hair a day or so before doing this to your hair? Or is it ok to go dry? Just curious..new to this process

[@a-a-ronbaukbaukbauk3702]

Excellent

[@MrsREDVON77]

Do you have a video on the instant locking technique with the crochet needle, but slowed down

[@catinawilliams4645]

I’m trying to understand why the hair is growing all around the lock as if it’s broken hair instead of new growth. When you have braids the new growth is just an extension of the hair that’s in the braid whether it be cornrows or individual plats or braids.

[@najmatos3555]

I just wrote the same comment... They are breaking people hair off thinking they know new ways to loc hair....I have locs and a lady broke my hair bad on a few locs and they are the same way that why I asked in my comment whats going on.

[@caramelapple4053]

Right, It’s the pulling of the hair with this crochet method. The palm roll, in my opinion works best.

[@MoeS777]

I'm not sure what's going on with the person on the video....but your hair can grow outside your locs. It actually happens very often and usually around the perimeter of your hair.

[@emmoh2928]

It happens with those who have thicker locs/thicker parts. If you have very traditional size locs it’s not likely that the new growth will stray from the loc

[@stacyshoemaker9177]

@@MoeS777The perimeter of your hair is where you are plucking hair from. It’s just growing back. Like if you pluck your eyebrows only slowly pulling until it comes out.

[@blckgoddess7724]

The comments are disgusting.

[@user-dz3yp7lb2j]

I’m confused. The negrowth should be in the lox if it was pulled in initially unless it’s broken off. I feel like that needs to be acknowledged and dealt with. My hair Jodie’s the same thing. Maybe crochet twists is not the way.

[@sophiacrawford5628]

Ahaaaa took the words right out of my muff I mean mouth 🤭😆😅 you blended the clients hair well, good on you hun.

[@Seemydimples]

Common sense says the stylist ..likes her locs as they are 😂im sure she can do her locs with her eyes closed if she wants to retwist them !

[@bringthemesstv]

He locks look but I know this is a preference for some. Locking her hair dry is terrible. This is why we see them with broken locks and patches of hair missing.

[@uknw1952]

waitAminu! "beautician lady" just gonna overlook your new growth on top of your head🤔

[@HaitianBlackGinger11]

And that’s okay. Sometimes you have to give the hair a break from re-twisting.

[@whatitdo8422]

I got crochet locs, and they are about 4 to 6 inches long. I'm trying to figure out what retwist method to use. I got a tool for retwisting at the root. Lol, not sure exactly the terms to use, but you put the tip of your loc in it, then put it under your new growth until it's tight. But idk

[@lrrodriguez1073]

This crochet retwist damages your hair, Don't do it. It's dry, it thins out your hair causing damage.

[@letoi6039]

Exactly!!!!! It’s a no for me.

[@staceymims4759]

Right that needs to come out and be conditioned and oiled/moisterized

[@andie3448]

Real locs aren't known as a protective style... Twisting your hair like this alone is what is incredibly damaging.
