I didn’t know that two strand twist even turned into locs. Lol i wonder how mine are gonna be when my appointment comes 😊

[@avarein3059]

Thank you thank you thank you, so much for this!! I feel liked I’ve looked everywhere on how to retwist my original twists after washing, and this video really helped! So, thank you 💗💗💗💗

[@ariannaversace5491]

Hi new sub!!! I’m two years loc’d going on three and I can tell you from experience that SOME oils applied directly to your scalp will make you itchy. Some won’t but it’s all about the brand. You can always apply the oil to your new growth and massage it into your scalp if that helps. And tip: retwist and clip all the way down your locs. It will help with locking faster and take care of the fuzzies and will make your locs look more uniform. Especially if you ends are taking longer to lock than your roots.

[@amyam847]

Hii, So I seen someone saying she didn't retwist her locs all the way down to keep some of the texture, I wanted to do the same thing but I was wondering if you knew anyway I could preserve texture without having the fuzzies

[@myjia2453]

Major! Finally finding someone with a similar texture and 2 strand starter locs washing video

Looks like a great start. New sub shackie. Stay motivated Queen. We in here with ya!

[@MyLoRaVe]

I'm so glad I found you! It's looks like we have similar hair texture and I want to use the twist method. Part of me wants to grow my hair for a couple more months but then another part of me is just super excited to start NOW lol so we'll see what happens in the next couple weeks.

[@shackie6866]

Loc it up sis !

[@whitley17]

I’m so glad I found your channel! We have so much in common; similar hair textures, and we’re both blind 😂😂 But sis, if you aren’t having dry scalp issues then I’d just use the spray bottle because the oils will get to your scalp that way. Don’t worry about using the nozzle, or applicator bottle. I oil my scalp directly with a light carrier oil, like almond or grape seed. Those oils are super light, and they replace the sebum that my scalp doesn’t really make. I have always had dandruff and a terribly dry scalp, so this works for me.

[@shackie6866]

😂😂 So you know my struggle ! Cant see anything without my glasses .😩 & Thank you sooo much . I’ve just been using the spray bottle mainly , unless it’s a REALLY dry day . I’ll definitely look into the almond or grape seed oils , I’ve never tried it ! Thank you so much !

[@modelerica1]

Girl I’m 2 weeks in and I go for a retwist tomorrow because my hair is soft but my new growth is a beast I’m embarrassed to go outside. Wearing a hat tomorrow lol

I also just moisturize my hair and my scalp has never been dry or had issues with itching or dandruff

[@mzblue]

Mine will be 1 month next week and its exactly same style and same lenght😭. Am so excited lol.

[@cherika_skates]

It makes total sense about the oil. If its in your spray bottle it will get on your scalp 🤷🏽‍♀️.... but who am I I don’t have locs yet lol.

[@Noel-Marie4]

I'm a month loc'd. I feel like I should retwist my hair, but my hair hasnt' started budding yet. What do y'all think?

[@shackie6866]

Congratulations ! I retwist every 4 weeks , I didn’t start budding until month 2 . It definitely depends on your hair texture & length on how your retwist goes .

[@uniquelykmee9688]

im no professional but from my experience thus far, definitely wait I did my first retwist about 4-5 weeks after my initial twist. I loc'd my hair in May I didn't start budding until November. It will take time and it varies for everyone just be patient you will start to see your hair change

[@NaturalCee]

If you have locs, go by how your hair texture was before being loc’d. There are many charts online to compare it to.

[@iamdanie_.]

How can putting oil on your scalp cause your scalp to itch when the oil keep it moisturized and dryness is what causes itching? Um, who said that? Smh. Anyways... Your scalp produces its own oils that goes down your hair but that's not as simple with kinkier hair so we tend to put oil on our hair but mostly the ends since the oil from your scalp takes longer to get there and older hair would need it more... Me personally I put some conditioner and oils in a bottle of water and spray my hair every morning and evening. The water gets on my hair and scalp plus I double spray my edges so everything gets moisturized. The key is knowing what oils do what and what works for your hair. Coconut oil grows my hair becaue it keeps it soft but some people say it burns their hair 🤷🏽‍♀️. I don't trust "hair oils".. I buy the oils straight from the person who made it at home so it's the raw coconut oil or whatever. Mostly because that oil is what my hair likes and I don't want added ingredients my hair doesn't need.

[@shackie6866]

Thank you ! I was told that when the oil or any product sits on your scalp , it could cause itching . I guess cause the scalp isn’t breathing . No biggie though . I oil it sometimes but mostly just use my spray bottle . Haven’t experienced any itching or dryness yet .

[@jolisawilson92613]

Some oils that people use don’t moisturize. They’re sealants, the water is a complement to the oil which seals in the moisture so maybe that’s why certain oils will make your scalp itch if you’re only applying oil and nothing else, you’re basically building up oil on your scalp which makes it cakey and itchy. Plus your hair will still be dry. Coconut oil is a moisturizing oil so that’s a good one to use.

[@jolisawilson92613]

Also, yess I agree with going straight to the source! I’m about to start making my own oil for my scalp/locs. I don’t trust anything anymore.

[@kaylengriggs5428]

[@luhdonbrooks571]

Im going threw it / can i only use water to retwist ?

[@prizeboy]

Did you blow your hair out for the first twist

[@mzblue]

I just started so am not really sure about something. Do I have to retwist it??

[@shackie6866]

No you dont have to. Retwisting just keeps your parts in tact. If you never retwist, they'll start to freeform.

[@estherineza6497]

How long did the process take??

[@shackie6866]

I cant remember exactly, but probably like 4-5 hours because it was my first time.

[@PrettyKe]

I notice you didn't twist your hair counter clock wise

[@shackie6866]

I did . I twisted to the left .Whichever way that doesn’t unravel my hair .
