Yes, I washed my hair every 2 weeks though I didn’t retwist. There are several updates where I am literally washing my hair on camera. The thumbnail is sarcasm, since many of you think no retwist equals no wash and even worse some think locs equal dirty.

[@shawnoneal9399]

How do i go by ordering the microfiber towels and Bonnits

[@thejandoshow]

Some people are just ignorant about Locs🤦🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️. We just need to educate them. I tried to freeform or about 3 to 4 months and then I retwisted. It was hard because I am that girl that loves to see the crisp parts in my hair. Mind you I’ve been locked for about 10 years now🤦🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️😆. Thanks for doing what you do in education!🥰✊🏽

[@avi7278]

How could someone mix up retwisting and washing your hair. They are two totally separate things! These people are nastyyyy. vs etes tres belle!

[@KyleVolt]

When I hear “no retwisting for a year” I hear ultimate growth😭😭 I envy anyone that can go that long ❤️

[@lindadavis1920]

I have thin roots and I cannot go no more than 7 weeks before relocing.

[@blackPLASMA773]

I haven’t had my hair retwisted since nov 2020

[@missnicole109]

I'm telling y'all...I got the two strand twist down to perfection because of her lol!!! And I just did my first up-do along with two strand twist *finger snap and a neck roll* can't tell me nothin'!

[@DXlocs]

Sonya Lawson yayyy 😂😂

[@camilleinnocent815]

I love this! I have been semi free forming for a while now. I believe that people should keep their locs simple.

[@ronicajohnson198]

Your hair is beautiful Queen! Thanks for being transparent and sharing your journey. From your vids I have learned that less is more for me especially being as though my hair is so fine. I'm loving and embracing my journey!

[@royaldeebee6143]

You are my go-to loctician. My locs have thrived due to your videos and info. Thanks so much, beautiful sister ❤

[@seekingenlightenment2026]

What you share is so important for so many reasons! Not only do you provide the how-to, how-not-to, but you are an inspirational example of how to love one's natural, of African-descent, self. You are so naturally beautiful. By affirming and embracing your own natural self, you give us the encouragement to do the same, and with confidence. And we can't use too much of that. Thank you so much. I've been keeping up with you for a while and just want to let you know how meaningful your work is. Please continue to share. And I am putting in my request to see all of the styles you did during your period of not retwisting. Best wishes to you and your beautiful family.

[@loveineverystitch]

I love your simple approach to caring for your locs. Beautiful!

[@keyglock7374]

" Uh my English na to good " 🤣🤣

[@ronaldmitchelljr7999]

Yes my sister please continue to do what is best for your hair, cause I have seen some of your videos and you definitely know what time it is for locs. I also agree with you,on watching other locs videos and I think you are right about everybody basically doing what's best for each individual head. So keep up the good work 🤗

[@pearlssoapery702]

Thank you so much! I have sister locs and decided to tighten ever 3 months whereas I was getting them tighten every 8-9 weeks. Maybe I can go longer now that I am tightening them myself. Very informative and insightful.

[@cburrell9907]

Thank you for the TRUTH! I love your hair, it's so beautiful! I previously had locks that were also beautiful, but I just wanted to do something different for whatever reason. I was locked for 9 years and I transitioned out of them in 2017. Now, in 2019, I'm going to lock it up again. I missed it and from watching you, I know how I want to start and maintain them. Thank you more than you know. I appreciate you.

[@doriswoods3671]

Glad you’re back! Love your hair 👸🏾😘❤️🙏🏽

[@darrensmith6104]

Hey! I am 1 day into my hair journey! Thank you for taking the time to make your videos!

[@kerlinebriceus764]

You’re hair is so beautiful! I’ve wanted to loc my hair for years now but I’ve been so afraid to take the leap. But after watching so many of your videos I think I’m ready to start my loc journey.

[@denisemoote125]

Omg!!!! You are NOT lazy for not retwisting!!! You're videos are helpful thank you for them 👍🏽

[@Iamrahcole]

Beautiful locs. I just started my 2nd loc journey almost a month ago. After watching your videos I decided to not use gels to retwist my hair and I must admit I see no difference between using gel and using oil and water. I agree it's all in the technique. Right now I'm retwisting every 2 weeks to encourage the locs to form since I have baby locs. But I"m hoping by month 3-4 to only retwist once a month and begin to stretch it as the locs mature. I too want to preserve my parts but I love the look of fuller roots as well. So for me semi-freeforming is a happy medium.

[@Najgee]

Sis your such a dope queen 👑 thx u kindly for sharing so much of yourself . Your vibes,info,styles,creativity your beautiful family are all appreciated stay blessed & ❤️💯✨💃🏾🙏🏾👏🏾 stay queening gorgeous ✨✨namaste ❤️ Pay these haters 🤬no mind 🌈❤️👑🌹

[@andreaj5667]

When Goddess showed her hair after 2 weeks from retwisting NATURALLY, I felt that! Lol my texture is the same and I have the same results! I loved this video ✌🏿❤️🖤💚

[@angelastewart6584]

That was a great thing that you did, and you really can't tell that it as not been retwisted! It looks so healthy! I have starter locs and I WILL be doing that once my locs mature! Thanks for the video!

[@nicolethompson2234]

I was the one who made the comment about pregnancy and growth of the locs. Great points thanks for educating me on this, what you said makes a lot of sense!

[@HaightTheGreat]

I started my locs about 6 weeks ago. My hair is between 5 to 7 inches and I used little bantu knots to start them. I only use coconut oil and a mix of aloe juice and castor oil. My head barely itches and doesnt smell. I had dreads 12 years ago and I had no idea how to take care of them properly and they still looked great. With all the new information I have now, I cant wait to see how they turn out.

[@ChryelSmoot629]

Your hair looks good for not re-twisting for a year. I applaud you because I could never go a whole year. I love the thickness that you got by not re-twisting. I am trying to get to three months 😂. I would love thickness

[@sultrybabe08]

Your hair looks so good!! I’m gonna try to do the separating when I’m not resisting because the loose hairs drive me crazy and for my hair it grows outside the loc! And yes I would love to see no retwist loc styles!!!

[@Shaythebabe]

Whenever I start to feel some type of way about eventually having to combine my locs I think about you and immediately feel better.

[@sarahtonen4873]

your baby is GORGEOUS, proud mama!!!!! xo God Bless your family

[@hotmama298]

I totally agree with you. I've stopped using gel when I retwist. Your hair grew a lot during that year.

[@dnogitsune9286]

Thank you! You helped me figure out the best way to do this on my own. I was doing interlocking because they were short. It’s been a year and I’ve been wanting to do twisting instead of interlocking (mainly lack of time for me). It was my first time trying this method and it came out very well.

[@tameraedwards5872]

I will be starting my locs soon and I am so exited and your videos have been sooo helpful!

[@t.whiting6571]

Your hair looks great! I would love to see some no retwist styles for shorter locs.

[@colcord1169]

I totally agree, it all is so simple, you don't have to have all the things and productive ppl say you have to have. I never use product for a retwist and I have no problem with it lasting. It will last from wash to wash.

[@phoenixphoenix8868]

U use nothing?

[@colcord1169]

No nothing, I used leave in condition and i oil my scalp then retwist if I feel like retwisting. And even with that I don't use a comb or clip most of the time I use hair pins, its all very simple for me .I wish you luck on your journey

[@phoenixphoenix8868]

@@colcord1169 Thank you for your advice. May i ask what leave in conditioner you use?

[@QueenAlita]

I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing your journey. And yes please please show us the no retwist styles you did.

[@sweetma4life]

Wooooow!!!!!!! 😍😍😍🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹 beautiful!!! I love the photo collages of all the styles you did as well! Wish I could see more especially of you adding braids! My locs are matted and I only been a month or 2 no twist.

[@kjanay2007]

Very helpful! I haven't retwisted in a year and I was freaking out because I didn't know what to do with all of the excess new growth.

[@keiosha0592]

I love your vids & all your methods. I’ve learned so much.

[@DXlocs]

Thank you ❤️❤️

[@nicolethompson2234]

Wow it got soooo thick! You are such an inspiration. You look gorgeous as always!

[@sherylesims-green6675]

Your hair looks so healthy 😍😍 I love it, I wish my daughter and myself lived in your area so you can do our locks my daughter gets her's done once a year and I get mines done 3 times a year and that's what works for us like you said everyone hair is different. Thank you 💖

[@myjenniferfaal4619]

I love your hair 😍😍😍 beautiful!!!! Thanks for sharing Dxlyn 💗

[@lifewithjon6809]

I like how u are able to retwist ur own Locs that's amazing.

[@chantrekingwood1994]

Your hair looks so great! I'm in my 6th month w/o a retwist. Id love to see some of your no retwist styles!

[@dusty_lady5836]

Just started my own retwist. It's very frustrating but I'm persevering coz it's very expensive going to the salon and my pennies could be better spent elsewhere. I love how patient you are are with your hair and your explanation just keeps me motivated and inspired. Only one month retwist ed but from the front, which is so much softer than the rest I can't get it to stay. Anyhoo before I go off on a rant, thank you so much for your videos. I keep learning more and more so hopefully next retwist should be easier. Bless up

[@dusty_lady5836]

...from the front you wouldn't know it's only been a month!!!

[@breath888]

This is exactly how I do my retwists. I braid them to hold the locks in place. My sister does coils instead. When they dry and we undo them, she's got curls and I have waves.

[@MissUnique2584]

First time viewing.. your. Locs are beautiful.. I admire the free form less manipulative is better depending on how your hair response. Thanks for explaining what is free forming. I’m about to start my two strand twist locs as well and is looking forward to see how my locs progresses. Hopefully down the road when my hair flourish to the point i can space out my retwisting I might reconsider. Thank you

[@gtgoddess24]

You always inspire me. Thank you for sharing. My hair is newly locked as of March 2020. I did them myself.

[@msbossdiva42]

I can’t wait til my Locs get this long. I’m a year and half into my journey. I have interlocs but I palmed rolled my last style just to see if I could. They turned out pretty good but the rods I used for curling my Locs were too big. Just experimenting. Thanks for the upload and your hair is beautiful!

[@AruzLuz89]

Thank you for sharing your journey. i believe the phase the had the most new growth was due to the the scalp being simulated blood flow while gathering into a bun promoting hair growth.

[@gabrielmaroto18]

Beautiful hairstylsing I did a five month no re-twist and I love it.

[@romonetta88]

U make the braids looks so easy lol. When I try, I struggle to keep them all retwisted at the base while braiding. That’s why I love to stick to my signature 2 strand twists lol. ✌🏽😂😊

[@Stephanie-id7ut]

Love videos, since I've started watching I've decided to stop using gels and clips to retwist my hair also because I have SLE and it causes my hair to thin I only twist once a month. Your hair looks great and I totally agree with what you said about locs being made to be complicated, I always tell people that its so simple...just find what your hair loves and do that...your hair will let you know. I appreciate you sharing your experience.

[@jasminemclennon3390]

Loving your channel so far. New subbbie here and I just started my loc journey a few days ago. Excited and educating myself as I go and grow❤🤎🖤

[@miriayah5285]

Tu for sharing the video. I am in the baby stage with my locs and I love them. I might try something like that after my first year of locs.

[@arianneriley4824]

Thank you for the video :) I'm going to try semi-freeforming again but without styling my hair every time I wash. After 4 months of not retwisting I had a lot of new growth that wasn't locking, and it was probably because I was styling too much!

[@1godbless1]

Yes i would love to see the no retwist styles. I am trying not to retwist it has been almost two months since my last retwist. Thanks I love watching your videos!

[@MsLefty1983]

Yes please share the no retwist styles.

I really wish you could do my starter locs. I love your work and all your informative videos. I plan to start them before next year. Maybe I'll be able to take a trip to you. It would be worth it.

[@anthonylw14]

Man joe idea u but your my favorite auntie on KZbin 😂😂😂 i go to ya videos daily i miss ya hair but i like ya current process 👏🏽

[@tyleetophbrown]

That totally helped me, cause I haven't twisted my locs for a least 3 or 4 months

[@ChryelSmoot629]

WOW 😮 7 years! Your hair is so much longer than mine and it’s 10 for me.

[@MsTara5328]

I love how healthy your locs are, I have mohawk locs, I'm going to give this a try😁 Thank You

Im on my 2nd month of no retwist and my hairline is back! With the help of jb castor oil, regular washing and very little manipulation. A lot of people ask whats going on lol

[@diepiriyeoforibika8488]

This is exactly what's on with me

[@DXlocs]

Lol! Keep em guessing

[@mazznaturals]

This is great news sis my hairline grew in beautifully in fact I actually sprouted new Locs from Semi Freeforming and just leaving them alone to thrive. Less is more. 😊

[@sphamlet]

I'm on my 7th month as of July 1st and my parents & everyone else keep asking me when I'm getting it done again lol let me be great and thrive dang lol

[@deborahlescalleet6603]

I'm glad you set them'em straight..

[@berylmorgan8482]

Thank you for sharing these tips..I too have had my dreads for 24 yrs however I have been retaliating quite frequently which caused my hair to thin out..I will do as you did..not request for 6 months to a year so my hair can have a chance to regrow....thanks again

[@mazznaturals]

A brilliant video 👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾 my beautiful sis I loved every minute of it loved seeing the baby make an appearance too he’s grown so much! 🤭🤭. You and I share the same journey only I’m due to retwist in August. Your hair looks absolutely amazing so so healthy looks fantastic both ways Semi Free-formed or retwisted. You Hair has also grown so long. I couldn’t get away with wrapping my hair around only so I use the braid technique to keep most of those strays in place and also wrap any straggly loose hairs around. Do you find you are much more tender headed since your Semi-Freeform journey? Semi freeforming was the best decision I’ve ever made with my Locs. I also only use oils for retwisting and it’s fine. I will definitely do it again after my retwist there are so many benefits the big bonus thicker Locs! 😉Thanks so much for sharing your story with us. 😘💕🙏🏾

[@jackiebedward2249]

Thank you so much for sharing. I truly wish I could go the no retwist route but my locs are frizzy 3 weeks without retwisting is the most I can do plus I have a lot of loose hair at my roots.

[@lilmamma807]

I wasn't expecting this but I like it!

[@DXlocs]

Tye thank you boo ❤️

[@cynthiaking2934]

I sweat in my scalp, so my retwist don't last 2 weeks. I love your journey. I've watched you do a retwist and I think I'm doing it correctly.

I made it to 1 year no retwist in June. I retwisted my roots but washed my hair a week later. I just love having the thick roots. I also just hit 6 years. I don't know when or if I will request again. I saw your recent videos & I love the cut!
