How to retwist starter locs to avoid budding

[@shaffy856]

Loticians should explain that retwists do not make the hair loc. They simply make it neat and create a uniform look. Lack of combing and the natural matting process makes it loc.

[@charissadavid2047]

I love the budding... that's what makes it full and beautiful!!!

[@charissadavid2047]

Shea butter is going to get trapped in the loc... no ma'am!!! 🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️

What's wrong with budding? The bud is what locs are supposed to do. You want the swelling. Leave that man hair alone.

[@Officialksh]

The Shea butter gave me goosebumps as someone that has a dandruff problem

[@usernerocore]

be proud of budding don’t avoid it. Its a milestone and something that should be shown

[@NikitaRolle]

Thank you and other previous comments for this causeeeeee I’m right here was about to freak myself out like I know I ain’t cut out those (horrible fake human hair) extensions 6mths ago to start right with my own hair and now 6mths this other stylists been doing my hair wrong too lol I was about to cry!!! Cause mine swelling too

He's going to have a build-up over time using that Shea butter on his hair

[@gbp56h14]

Yes; oil the scalp...not the lock

[@kymania.c.915]

As others have implied, I feel like combing through more than the new growth would work against the process. If it was bunching, maybe I would understand, but from what I understand, budding is good for locs

[@cocobrown1854]

Budding is normal- you don't have to control the loc - they are suppose to bud and swell - please don't drink this kool-aid.. she doesn't know what she's talking about

[@asiamayne]

thank you.. cuz im over here like wtf???

[@daherbalgoddess777]

Exactly and he's going to have a build-up from her using the Shea butter loc mess on his hair.

[@shamiahthatech375]

That’s never gonna loc lol

[@charmainecope136]

Either way will give the same results. However, if you choose not to control the swell from the loose coil, it will take longer to form. Hence the reason for controlling the bud

[@mccoilycurls4365]

Controlling the budding literally defeats the purpose of locs. Budding means it’s tangling. Budding gives the loc it’s eventual thickness. This is just over maintenance.

[@naturallyaziz]

Na whatever my hair wanna do naturally I love. Give me all the budding and whatever comes naturally. I don’t enjoy my locs for an aesthetic because all of ours lay and flourish so differently which makes everyone’s journey so beautiful. We just need water fr fr and here and there a nice oil. Focus on scalp care , re twist when you please and let them breathe and be patient

[@blackbutterflyexpat]

I was excited looking at mine in the mirror budding ❤ like embrace the journey

[@coastinda762]

I hated the budding at first, but honestly i can say that period i grew to be appreciate the uniqueness of my locs, dont skip the process

[@daherbalgoddess777]

Everybody shouldn't be doing loc maintenance...no ma'am no thank you 😢

[@YOUNOTSMART]

AVOID BUDDING!!! ??? 😮

[@geminilady11]

I was happy when my hair started budding. That is the whole purpose of the starter loc phase. Why are you combining it out?

[@daijourcalloway998]

It's gone take longer to loc now😂😂 Smh 🤦 Mine locked so fast I didn't realize that it started to lock. I had to hurry up and take out my 2 strand before they locked together. 😂😂. Leave the hair alone it will lock. Combing out buds only hurts the progress and prolongs the process 😂😂😂

[@Ogo.]

Is this not the idea of loc, for it to bud, why comb it out??

[@tiffanytaylor4164]

I'm only 2 months in and I have that budding going on already. I thought something was wrong when I got my first shampoo and retwist at 1 month. It was driving me crazy so I did them over again and they're back! I thought it was due to the excess humidity in the air since we've had a lot of rain lately so I've decided to stop fighting it 😅😅 I'll be patient and wait since I now see that it is normal 😅

[@daijourcalloway998]

Yep what she is doing is actually going to hurt his progress. It's gonna take longer to lock. Do not comb out buds!

??? The budding 'IS' the process.

[@ohimuzeme]

Your hair has to bud to loc up AND WHAT THE HELL IS ALL THAT PRODUCT😭

[@user-ml8kx7xe4q]

Why are u trying to control the budding its apart of the loccing process ur just setting him back

[@santanaturner]

They do this so they can keep coming back for retwist because most people starting out aren’t educated on locs. Most “hairstylists”/“locticians” in America are scammers they don’t really care about your loc journey they just want to make sure they have a consistent client to pay them so they elongate the process

[@donnab79]

Foolishness! Locs are supposed to Bud and it's a good sign. Retwisting with a Butter aswell 🤦🏾‍♀️ Folks better learn how to maintain their own Locs if you value your hair/locs.

[@metsl1870]

KZbin brought me back here. Lol. I re-twisted my son’s hair two days ago and the budding almost made me go crazy. You make the comb twist look so easy.

[@2pretty2care.]

The budding is natural and will later maintain itself as the loc mature, doing what she does could cause build up, the budding phase is just the hair tangling around each other and expanding etc I wouldn’t mess with it too much

[@josel3861]

[@iLoveMiIfs]

If you maintain the bud will ur locs stay skinny ?

[@emorebelle]

Yes it Will. I made that mistake. Trust me never again. Just let your crown grow and do it's thing. Locs have to Budd in order to loc. I'm on my third set of locs and i know that over twisting and not letting the budding alone was a huge mistake.

Why would people avoid budding when that's part of the process? I hate that social media has made people think they have to look perfect all the time. If someone has that type of mentality then they probably shouldn't get locs, that's just not what it's about. They'll be bald headed quick.

Misinformation. Lmao. A retwist will not stop the budding process. The locs need to bud. That's the whole point. The locs mist bud so that the locs will get thicker and become more cylinder-shaped.

Don't do that. Hell the Shea butter is to much. U don't want to use to much product it causes build up in the locs. Light gel to retwist. Or better yet oil and water then clip and under the dryer it until completely dry it Will hold! A protective style will make the retwist last longer. 3 years loc'ed this August.

[@Justdoingme790]

I thought I had to start over because I have crazy budding while everybody else dreads didn’t, Thanks to this video now I know. But I have question does haveing short dreads with budding mean more thicker dreads? while more dreads without budding means more dreads count in your hair? And lastly bunch of dreads in your head with budding mean thick and lot of dread count? If anybody knows what I mean?

[@daijourcalloway998]

Budding is natural! 'Controlling the bud' is bad! She's combing out part of the loc and retwisting it. There is nothing I repeat NOTHING you can do about Budding. I'm over 2 years in and I still have buds. They don't look like it over Time because it evens out. Different parts of the loc bud at different Times they eventually all whine up the same size. But after about 1 month after a retwist I get new buds. Doing this hurts the locking process and prolongs it as well. Those buds are just gonna keep coming back. If he keeps letting her do this to his head they never gone loc!

After installing the coils, retwists should be palm rolled so the hair can start being trained to wrap around in a cylinder shape. Budding is literally the beginning phase of a mature loc- it's forming tangles. Combing it through like you did put him back at square one.

[@patcol82]
