What kind of loc gel/wax do you use? I like how it looks.

[@AlexiaTracy]

Hi Tasha! I use edgebooster. The link to the loc gel in in the description❤️

[@Metimewithtia]

Love this video. I struggle sometimes doing my own locs as I'm getting older.

[@kimjordan606]

I'm so on the fence about getting locks. You make it look really easy. Great job.❤❤❤

[@beautydefined1000]

@@AlexiaTracy Does it leave any build up?

[@amakaforever]

this was actually so helpful, especially when you explained which direction you need to face in the mirror when you’re parting 😂 i struggle so bad with that

[@AlexiaTracy]

Yessss, that’s the hardest part in my opinion lol. That’s exactly why i wanted to include detail on how to face the mirror. If you don’t get that right, it can make retwisting your own hair harder and annoying.

[@kollanutt]

Thanks for this tutorial. Has increased my confidence in trying to retwist my own locs.

[@AlexiaTracy]

You’re so welcome! And I’m happy that it’s increased your confidence in retwisting your own locs! You got this ❤️❤️

[@jenniferslowley4319]

This is one of the best tutorials I have come across. No snapping of necks and fingers, singing, posing, overchatting. Just straightforward and to the point. It's almost like sitting in a real class. I have had locs for 17 years at several lengths after what I felt were necessary cuts due to thinning - butt length, bra strap, and now shoulder length - and have never mastered how to do my own locs. I am so frustrated. I want so badly to be able to be self reliant. How long did this retwist take you to do? Do you twist in the same direction? PS new subbie here. Stay blessed

[@AlexiaTracy]

Awww you are so sweet Jennifer. Thank you for being straightforward and letting me know exactly why you love this tutorial. I’m happy my content was straight to the point for you. It takes me about 2-3 hrs to do my own retwist, I typically twist in the same direction to make it easier for myself. It takes practice, you’ll get it in no time. Thanks for subscribing too❤️❤️❤️

[@ms.miraclewalking982]

The best loc retwist tutorial I have seen ❤❤❤. Your locs looks beautiful.

[@AlexiaTracy]

Thank you so much 🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@sunchild1962]

Very helpful, ive had my locs for 2 yrs and its tough to find someone with the patience for a retwist thank you

[@AlexiaTracy]

I totally understand! Ive had my locs for two years and only allowed one person to retwist my hair one time. I’m just so particular about my hair lol

[@sharonpugh5929]

​@@AlexiaTracy I understand fully ! ...don't want too many hands near our brain, can't trust everyone

[@patriciawilliams6123]

I feel you!

[@shereewhitfield1884]

I'm gonna retwist my sons hair myself this time. Your tutorial was so helpful.

[@lisacarter6176]

Thank you for adding the hair dryer step. Now I am confident that I can start retwisting my own locs.

[@KJ-dp7xp]

This video was EXTREMELY HELPFUL & a blessing! I learned how to do my son's retwists by watching this video!..after trying to search for a relative who usually does his hair, (M.I.A), as well as, trying to reach out to ppl who were referring me to other stylists, I decided to take it upon myself to do it myself! My son wanted & needed his hair done, badly, & wanting me to retwist his hair, gave me that "push" & confidence to try one or two retwists. Next thing I know, I was retwisting his entire head! I sincerely appreciate you for making this video, especially for beginners like me! It was basically a step-by-step d.i.y. video. Thank you Queen! 👸 😊

[@AlexiaTracy]

Awww wowwww🥹🥹🥹🥹 i could cry. This is why I starting posting vids again. 1) because I enjoy it, but 2) because of comments like this! I’m soooo happy I was able to help you during a time when you felt like you had no clue to go to. Look at you! You did itttt👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I’m so proud of youuuuu!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@KJ-dp7xp]

I did, and I sincerely appreciate you! Thank you again! Please don't stop inspiring those like me! 😊​@@AlexiaTracy

Edge tutorial please your video has given me so much confident and I can’t wait to re-twist my own locks. It’s been about two months since I had them re-twist and learning how to re-twist your own hair. It’s a beautiful thing of growth and you just can’t trust everybody’s in your hair so bravo Queen!
