I’m 14 months into my microloc journey and I have exclusively retwisted. My hair is strong and healthy. Retwisting takes a shorter amount of time and honestly I prefer the look better. My maintenance schedule is every 7 wks. I workout 3-4 times a wk and wash every 2 wks and it holds it fine. Yours locs look so good!

I plan on switching to retwisting. I have 2 questions! 1. What product do you use to retwist? 2. Do you have good pics of your locs that show the size of them, including the base/part sizes

Whew honestly, many people who let their locs get super long they end up switching to coils anyway because it’s too much work to pull 3+ feet of loc through the root numerous times in order to tighten them when they’ve got like 500 locs 💯

Exactly! I just hit waist length and after months of thinking and research, I've finally decided to make the switch to retwisting. It was either that or shave my head, so I figured I'll give it a try lol. My body is fed up with the hours of retightening😩😓.❤

Hi, I've been loc'd almost 2 years. I've recently started working work out. How often do you recommend washing? My current interlock schedule is every 6 weeks. I also want to start using clarifying shampoo. Any recommendations?

@theminimalistnatural 10 ай бұрын

Your schedule sounds perfect. :) No shampoo recommendations. I personally keep it simple with african black soap!

You’re beautiful! I could barely stay focused on the video, lol . After going ~12 weeks with so much new growth, how many full rotations do you go through would you say ? And is it a 4 point? Thank you for sharing this . I often wondered as my husband and I want locs and wanted to know more about going back and forth. ❤

@theminimalistnatural 10 ай бұрын

You’re too kind thank you!! I counted between about 16 and 24 points which is about 4-6 full rotations. Yes , I do 4 point rotations. I will have a video up soon about my experience.

How often do you wash your hair on a regular basis? I’m interested in starting microlocs (and retwisting for maintenance), but do like to wash my hair weekly and am afraid the retwists will just unravel after a week.

@theminimalistnatural 10 ай бұрын

I only wash my hair once a month typically. I did the same as a loose natural. When I first started my locs i washed every week to speed up the locking process. If you interlock you can wash whenever you want. If you want to wash weekly I do NOT recommend retwisting.

@rhondamonique9686 7 ай бұрын

So are you saying that you interlock your hair and then you go about 12 weeks without interlocking. And during that time you are retwisting. And then at about 12 weeks you interlock all of the new growth from the 12 weeks?? I'm confused because I thought that if you retwist your hair instead of interlocking you can just solely do that. I'm not understanding the purpose of still doing both methods. In your opinion, is it okay to just stick with retwisting?

@theminimalistnatural 7 ай бұрын

Yes you are exactly right. You can just retwist but not many ppl do that’s why I’m scared to commit 😅😅😅😅 So I always end up fully interlocking the new growth.
