I actually do mine the same as you do yours with one change...I separate the roots creating a tiny hole and pull the extra hair through and then two strand twist, it holds better for me. I actually just cut my hair from waist length to my shoulders for the second time since being loc'd.

@@Brownmahfun I try to remember - what men say and what they do, are two different things. Pay attention to what they DO. Example - many men say they don't like makeup, but what they mean is they don't like to be able to tell you are wearing it and want it to be subtle and non dramatic. Their gaze will follow the pretty woman with the light, natural makeup before the woman with a bare face. In his mind he won't realize this. And of course there are women naturally beautiful but a tad of makeup really ups a woman's attraction. Even if it's just a small hint of highlight shimmer on her cheeks with some mascara.

I have this same issue, "Growing away from the locs" is a nice way of saying this. I call it "Breaking off at the locs".

Some of my locs do this as well so I use a crochet hook on those, too. I find that the hair comes back out sometimes 😑 but it could be that I wait too long between retwists, usually when I don’t feel like twisting my hair after a shampoo... or two lol. I wanted to let you know that this product called Spray and Loc works really well for retwisting. Mine last for about 3 weeks before I’m ready to shampoo it out and it still looks good then. There’s no buildup but it is sticky at first, but that goes away the dryer your hair gets. I can’t use oil on my scalp so I had to find a product that would work for me but wouldn’t cause buildup. Shipping speed can be hit or miss, but I combat that by ordering two bottles at a time and order before I run out. I have thick locs and been loc’d for 21 mths btw. Love your color! Shalom!

Thank you for this! I know my loose hairs are sitting here watching this with me like 🤨 but yes, fun’s all over kiddos 🤪🤣 this loose hair issue is exactly the reason why I’ve been intent on only getting my retwists done by my loctician but I think I’m just gonna try to do one myself now and stop overthinking it lol Edit to add* i don’t think it’s breakage due to retwists, at least not in my case (only had 3 in 8mo so far), for me it’s just the frizzy, crawling texture of my hair. I had the same issue when I’d get box braids done on my loose hair, these hairs just like to run amok and not be constrained tbh 😆

Nina Williams My hair has been like this since my very first retwist and immediately I was researching. My opinion is that this normally happens to people who have fine hair or fine hairs in a certain section of their hair. I haven’t seen too many people with thick density hair complain about this issue. We just have to be more intentional with our retwist while still not retwisting so often that it leads to thinning. You just have to find the right balance for your own hair. This is the reason retwists do not last long if you have hair that grows away from the loc. Be blessed today beautiful!!!🙏🏾🥰
