Here's my first retwist with my new set of starter locs! I loved how it came out despite my issues with the aloe vera gel but this is a learning experience. I'm also loving the size of these much more and don't experience as much pain with this new set either. As always thank you for watching my videos and thanks for all the support! Much love xx

You made my day. Retwists are my favorite to watch. Your locs are going to be nice. To hasten the locking process, you will find you need to fully wash, unless you’ve already discussed that lose where and I missed it.

Aw this is so sweet! I’m glad I did! But yes I think this time I’ll be washing every two weeks instead of waiting once a month when i retwist. I found that I HATED how it looked when I would wash my hair In between retwists with the comb coils because it would just shrink so much but the two strand twists are so much better for me! ❤️

I make my own aloe vera face toner and it is naturally thick. To get it off the stalk, you have to use a spoon, fork, or knife because it's a very thick jelly consistency. Idk what they put in it to water it down so much, but it is not like that naturally. Where I live, I just buy a whole stalk and I have to whip it to get it to a more watery consistency than thick and chunky. Just wanted to let you know, since you may try to do it yourself one day. I also make my own rosewater spray (for face and hair) and oil to keep my locs moisturized and thriving.

@DESZREN 4 жыл бұрын

I love this! This is so helpful honestly. I'm definitely going to try this and I do want to start using the rose water on my face too but my skin is so iffy about everything! I think it will be a much better alternative though. Thank you for the tips!

Gonna be starting my locs soon kind of nervous but more excited. Which method should I go with?

@DESZREN 4 жыл бұрын

Don't be nervous! I was nervous too but you can always comb them out very easily within the first month or so if you don't like them! But I think the method you choose depends on how you want them to look. I know comb coils give you more of a uniform cylinder look once they mature. Two strand twists become more lumpy and bumpy. At least from what I've seen! I know you can even start with braids! I'm really liking the two strand twist method a lot more than the comb coils because I have a lot less unraveling with the twists and they are already budding! So my hair is actually making better progress this time. But it's really up to you, at least you have a bunch of options!

I’m not sure why rosewater is used by the loc community as a moisturizer. Most information I’ve read describes rosewater as an astringent. That is why rosewater is used primarily as a facial toner for the skin.

@DESZREN 4 жыл бұрын

Really? When I did my research before I started using it i was a lot that it can be used for both! I know it also has anti- inflammatory properties which helps for me because I’m tender headed and it soothes my scalp. My hair also feels much softer when i use it compared to regular water. I guess it’s different for everyone!
