I love that for you!! Yes, I love the fullness that frizz gives.. sometimes it feels like an illusion but it's all real too 🧡🌿 There's beauty in the movement of our hair!!

I currently have a goal set out, my longest time gone without a retwist ever. 6 MONTHS. I just hit 4 months, so I gotta stay strong. I also like the metaphor you used about the garden. The idea is to let my garden OVER grow so that the next time I clean it up it will be extremely replenished & rejuvinated.

Oh wow.. that's amazing. You can do this!! 🌿🌿 May I ask why 6 months? I'm sure I've seen someone I follow on Instagram say that they retwist twice a year, so it's possible. Thank you, I'm glad my example makes sense... yes, exactly that. Replenishment and rejuvenation 🧡🧡 Best wishes to you, you're 2/3 of the way to your goal!

I have been loc for a year now. I just started watching your videos and it has really helped me get over not retwisting often. And just embracing my locs and my natural. I have really enjoyed this journey and you have done well with the videos please continue. This is month 2 for me with no retwist. Thank you!!!

Your video inspired me, I'm 6 months in and started them with length. I was concerned about my frizz because my hair is sheep's wool thick lol. I love your locs and I will embrace the frizz and stop fighting it. They're coming along and I can tell they're gonna look like yours, all pretty and full...thank you

I love your thoughtfulness. I wash weekly and retwist every 5-6 weeks, but I’d like to start stretching that closer to a solid 8 weeks. I have very fine medium to low density hair, and it breaks very easily. Because my locks are small/slim, if i stretch too long, my roots could thin from breakage. I’m trying to find a balance though, and not be obsessive about when I “should” retwist because I’ve come to accept that some breakage is inevitable for my type of hair. this was the case when I was a loose natural as well.

I understand er’thng ..I went with my OWN experience how I took care of my hair from way back in the beginning WMMD(what my Mama did) and 💥 I do my LOCS as being a loose natural 😉 wash, and deep condition yass and air dry, grease scalp, DONE! I only interlock (2 pt rotation) and it last 12wks…😉 Jan, April, July, Oct ONLY! Stylist have all these do’s/don’t my Mama had my hair down my butt with washing, grease/💦 until 23yrs old, had gheri curl, perm went back natural but never deviated how Mama did my hair ☺️

Thank you for sharing your location maintenance thoughts on retwisting. I love what you’re doing! I have microlocs, only 212. But because they are smaller than traditional locs I maintain with interlocking. I have stretched my interlocking to every 4.5 months. Well, twice now I have done this. Both times I wanted to stop interlocking entirely. It’s almost summer and I plan to be in the pool swimming so I interlocked this month. I will think about interlocking again in October or I will continue retwisting until next June. Not sure yet. My retwists are done on damp hair. I use this time to separate any hairs that are in the wrong pic and recap the strands around the correct loc. That’s my retwist. No oils or palm rolling or clipping locs in place. I will do this simple retwist after most shampoos. When I interlock I realize new loc length. When I retwist there’s no appreciable change in the length of my locs. This works for me. I’m still finding my way tho. I’m only 2 years and 2 months loc’d. Even tho I have microlocs I am a new subscriber. This was a very good video. 🎉

I've gotten closer to what you describe, but my locs are very thin, and hair texture is brittle (whole life). I think I do every 3 months, but I need to work on a stop at a salon.

Hey! Congratulations on starting your journey. Everyone is different and so what worked/works for me may not serve someone else, so I can only share my lived experience. For new starters, those within the first 12months of having locs, my best advice would be to "trust the process". Take the time to be present with self and learn how you can prioritise hair health OVER loc length 😊🧡🌿 You can follow me on Instagram (instagram.com/oliviadhinds) where I have soooo much content about my journey which may help you make progress on yours.
