I have found in two weeks I have half an inch of new growth all over my head and more down the center and back. My hair also grows outside of my loc’s. it is much easier for me to re-twist once a week with water and oil and I can keep my hair from traveling outside of the loc’s While I wait to shampoo and two point interlock my hair once a month as usual!

It's taken me 3 weeks and I'm still not finished, but really need to wash my hair. 1. Should I was first? 2. My hair grows really fast and need to be "neatened", will my locs stay the same size if I exclusively retwist from the start. Will they still stay neat and loc just as fast? 3. Do your locs have to be matured in order to be able to be retwisted like this? 4. How can I keep my hair neat and uniform if I don't want to interlock right off the bat? Thank you ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
