My locs were going back to back like Red & Meth. You hit the nail on the head. Just allow your hair to do its thing. It will all work out. Trust in the process its a full on learning curve.

I twist every once in a while but never tight; I hate the scalp look and prefer the added thickness to the roots and body of my locs too. Styles look great on some people but I like to let mine hang.

Been freeforming about 9 months, loc marrying has been one of my biggest issues at least early on. I had to separate my hair at couple times a week. Now though I can go weeks without really thinking about it. It sounds weird to say, but I love how reliable my hair is now. I can't believe it took me this long to get locs, I don't think I've ever been this happy with my hair.

For me, the video is all facts. Presently 13mo in. I like my locs more manicured, so I go like 4-6wks. It’s good for a break and thickening (and not breaking your buds)...but my locs are far from mature, so they need guidance. Pro-tip: if you wanna give a break but maintaining your locs, consider a soft retwist, a light crotchet or palm roll, or another lighter means to groom with reduced stress.

One thing I’ve learned is if your hair strands are fine (opposed to coarse) that you may benefit from somewhat more frequent retwists. I am a lazy natural and so I’ll put off retwisting my hair often but I’m realizing that maintaining the integrity of my parts and along the locs need it. Ofc over doing it isn’t good for anyone but I’m being more consistent with 3 week retwists.

I've been loced for 2 years. Started out with comb coils. My hair is super soft and early on would unravel easily. The first 6 months are hard but once I got into the budding phase it got alot better. However, because my hair is soft, I have to keep it manicured. My hair marries quickly. And because of an injury to my shoulder, I can't always do it myself. Going once a month to a loctician is my way of taking care of me. It's just like how come girls go to the nail salon. Although I'm still paying less for my hair than some chicks with their nails. But whatever. IMO, doing a retwist once a month isn't doing harm. When my hair was natural I was washing, telling, and drying it everyday. That was more harmful to my hair. But after I loced, I saved money as now i don't have to buy all of those products. My loctician washes and deep conditions my hair once a month. In between I use Tropical Roots Dry Shampoo and hair oil. On the rare occasion will I wash my hair. Plus I'm doing my part in supporting black owned business. As long as i have my locs I will always get them manicured.

With my locs . I started with about 4 or 5 inches of fro, then I 2 strand my shit and let it stay in I retwisted myself for about a year every month maybe 3 weeks then I let my shit just rough out for about 6 to 7 months idk it was a LONG time . Then started getting a professional twist after that but I don’t even get twists but once every 3 or more months depending on my hair and my hair is healthy as fuck ! Y’all just gotta take care of your shit pay attention to your hair I know a lot of people just joining the loc phase and shit like that but don’t rush your hair they will drop . Just cherish your hair . And don’t worry in the early stages about retwist so much they will loc just keep them rough don’t oil them too much they gone come out . Locs come from the nappy shit so let yo locs nap they will be fine . Don’t keep getting retwist over and over your new growth will be ugly sumtimes but that’s what make locs beautiful. I like my locs better after my retwist loosen up ! I hope I helped some of y’all I should make a video on mine . 3 years in no loc problems no hair loss no loc loss my hair has been great this entire time

I love the natural loc look as well. I can't wait to wash my hair after retwists.

Thank you so much for the information. I am coming up with 1 month retwist in June. My starter locs were starting to unravel and I retwist them to at least look good but now I know it’s ok.
