Amazing advice. I'm two years and 4 months into my 🔒 loc journey and I absolutely love the art of doing less. However I do re-twist because I want some uniformity, but not as often. As long as I keep my locs separated and my scalp clean and moisturized it really works for me. I would consider my locs semi free form. Long live the loc community! Thank you.

[@holisticflo]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@rare2find0918]

Your locs are beautiful! I haven't retwisted in 11 years....I don't care to see my scalp lol. I just make sure to take time to pull them apart from time to time so they don't grow together. Otherwise my routine is very low maintenance and I love it! I use a watermelon juice based shampoo (wash my hair every 3 months), for oil I use 'wild growth hair oil' and in between washes I refresh with a homemade tonic spray of water, fresh cloves and fresh rosemary.... that's it! Keep stress to a bare minimum, eat as healthy as your budget allows and love on yourself....all of our hair can flourish!

Thank you for bringing up the Eurocentric standards of beauty. Colonialism has really rooted deep into our cultures to the extent that we have started judging each other but it's just because of the mental slavery brought by the colonialists.

[@holisticflo]

Yes! 🙌🏾 and you're welcome

[@LaLa_856]

Yep I just separate after washing and wrap lose hairs back into locs.

[@gr8full2damax]

I stop retwisting because I wanted them to have their own personality

[@holisticflo]

Great reason

[@batriciaparker]

I love your hair. Our locs look very similar. I retwist every 4-5 months. The crazy thing is as soon as i wash my hair the retwist is gone. So retwisting is very pointless imo especially for medium/thick locs.

[@holisticflo]

Yesss that same reason is mainly why i stopped

[@afrikaunite4330]

I totally agree with you I'm nine months loc and loving my loc journey. I too don't retwist I don't really like that tight look I like the more thick natural look. That's my preference. Your hair looks beautiful and healthy. I watch your videos and have learnt a lot concerning my locs when I started. Nuff respect sistrin. Bless

[@holisticflo]

Thanks for the support! And for sharing

[@theblaqklion]

I can relate to a lot of what you're saying. I'm considering stopping the retwists all together, but I'm not ready to take the plunge just yet...Maybe After I hit 2 years loc'd

[@holisticflo]

Yeaaa it can take a while and sometimes the locs may not be ready so take your time

[@gwenm3846]

I used to pay 100 plus tip to have my locs retwisted. I always thought you had to have them retwisted. Your video is very informative.

[@holisticflo]

Glad the video helped

[@naturalhairchickonabudgett849]

Love watching your videos! Eventho I don’t always comment I’m still watching but Yea I stop retwisting my locs around 11 months whereas I use to have to retwist every wash day because of my long hair and texture. The loose hair before they started to loc up was crazy, but now babeee @27 months I can go 5 months or more without one and I’m so happy about it..

[@holisticflo]

I'm brand spanking new to joining the community.. I have the 2 strand twist in right now waiting for my lock up. Nov. 8th 23 will be 1 month on my journey 😅 but these are things I'm trying to learn and decide if I want to do retwists ( palm rolling) watever or just let it be. I don't like the free form look or style so I do want to keep it neat and styled when it's ready.

[@holisticflo]

Congrats on starting your journeyb

[@UnderAttack524]

Bravo! just had this conversation

[@NottyGurlStyle]

I since the pandemic..I had to cut my long locs because I was messing with it to make it longer (added extensions but crocheting)and my roots was beginning to thin per my stylist..I panicked and told her to cut off some length off but I ended up cutting the rest short into a bob..during that time of reset..I decided I didn’t want to retwist my locs often and opted not to use products…with research I made flaxseed gel and light retwist once every three weeks. I make my own oil mix and call it a day. My locs are thick and I’m happy with the way it looks.

[@holisticflo]

Awesome!

[@isisrises]

Love all your vids! I retwist with no products and recently decided to stop retwisting and one of the reasons is bc I noticed even tho I don’t use products I STILL get build up in the area that was retwisted. So that resonated the most with me 😊

[@holisticflo]

Yes! Thank you! Even without using products, buildup can still occur, especially with thicker locs

[@monae2ish]

Facts !!! Negro hair will deff loc on its own without doing anything- 😊 love this

[@Whatiskansolawatching]

I haven't retwisted my hair in 9 months and I love the way it looks. Never really been a fan of retwisting. Sometimes it's hard though. So many people just don't get it.

[@holisticflo]

Yeaa its okay if they dont 🙌🏾

[@ariesgirl6745]

I want to stop but it’s hard cos majority of the hair on my head is soft coily and 4b which love to tangle up together at every chance they get. I’m learning how to seperate effectively n more often tho.

[@holisticflo]

I have 4a and 4b as well

Beautiful. Sanford Florida love

[@xXMasterJ360Xx]

I started out my loc journey 2 years ago and the 1 thing every stylist told me is that my hair type is too soft or I have (Good hair) they would said it may not loc up if you keep retwisting into a new style - which I kept doing. I can definitely say starting out on a loc journey is difficult b/c thats when we are more conscious or focused on how our hair looks instead of leaving it be to loc on its own. I used to do every 2 week retwists, then turn it into a once a month and now a half a year. Getting a retwist every 2 weeks is like another bill, so thats when I started to do less and just let the hair do its own thing.

[@holisticflo]

Thats awesome thanks for sharing

Yes heres a video that should answer that kzbin.info/www/bejne/opi2Z6OYacuinqssi=JejrbS-6hH9st9PF

[@efyy]

Do you advise semi freeforming for looser curl patterns? The hair at my crown is not as kinky as the rest. I'm scared it won't loc up. I'm almost a month into my loc journey

[@holisticflo]

Even if it takes longer to loc, if you want the semi freeform lifestyle I would go for it.

[@michelleoriolcameau4435]

How do you manage the loose hair that grows around the locs if you don't retwist? I am a newbie in the loc journey. Today makes 2 months since I started the process.

[@holisticflo]

Hi congrats! And here's a video explaining what I do to maintain itkzbin.info/www/bejne/iGOpYWSBbZehfM0si=lClvMNAE_rocleFr

[@calijay9805]

I stopped retwisting for 7 months and started getting knot balls in my hair. Not sure if that's normal, but I couldn't take it . I caved in and retwisted after that.

[@holisticflo]

Hmmm I think that the knot balls might come from popping the locs. I get those every once in a while also

[@patcol82]

My car was 65000 😔

[@zandilepatience8160]

So retwising doesn't make your dreadlocks longer?

[@holisticflo]

It makes them appear longer because the shrinkage is stretched

[@ariesgirl6745]

How often u wash?

[@holisticflo]

Every 2 weeks

I'm approaching my 7 yr loc anniversary on February 16th I've decided after watching your video to free-form I was always afraid of what people would say or think I wish I would had free-form yrs ago because my locs have thin out hopefully by me making this decision it would help my locs to thicken back up and yes it would save me so much money great video queen
