How do folks go 4 to 6 months for a retwist? I retwist mines every 2/3 weeks.

I just don't do it tight. I do it just enough for the majority of the fly always to be tucked away. But I do my own hair and don't care if my locs have lumps and bumps. I prefer it actually.
Never had a retwist in my life.... hopefully things work out :weirdo:

Weezy locs are dry as fukk its been obvious for years he's stopped taking care of them.

I do get paranoid about thinning locs though.....I probably get my shyt retwisted once every 2 or 3 months and like em when they look fresh but idk if I can do them every month

.........I get retwisted once a month. It's a back comb twist method. Is it bad. I know that interlocking shyt is horrible on hair

It's fine as long as there is not stress on the scalp.

This chick retwists every 2 weeks for like 16 years. It's all about technique.

Doing retwists once a month is only until your hair locks. Once it’s fully locked you are supposed to space out the retwist times

Many people become addicted to the freshly retwisted locs look and that’s where they go down that destructive route. I almost became addicted myself but I started to space out my retwist times and embraced the natural locs look.

I don't really ever retwist mine. Like maybe when I'm bored I'll twist the tips but that's it.:francis:
