I’m mad late, but I’m now almost a month and a half locked! Did a retwist today.

 

[Damaris.Elle]

For those who retwist, what product do you use?

I use this gel that I get from the website www.afrolatinawlocs.weebly.com I get the extra hold gel.

Alright sexy mama!!!! They look amazing and you did a good job. And yes, congratulations on reaching your first milestone... you're doing great so far. I like the shape of your hair. Did you have it cut like that or does it grow like that naturally?

Thank you! The curl pattern of my hair in the front and crown area has always been looser than the curl pattern of my hair in the back and bottom sections so it kind of has a bob-y look.

I love that shape. Mine grows in this weird shag mullet shape, even when I was relaxed and had it cut into a bob it still found a way to be a mullet!

Marine botanicals??? Organic compounds? Sounds like glorified sea salt. . Which can be purchased at Dollar Tree for $1.00 and at grocery stores for $2-3 at most.

Save your money ladies...

I ordered a slap cap to try. I have a hard time sleeping with a satin cap or scarf on because they either feel too tight on my head or slide off. My son steals my satin pillow case, so i am hoping I like the slap cap. Plus I saw some cute turban styles that would be nice for winter if I like the regular one I ordered. Are ya'll tying your hair up at night? What are you using?

 

[FlawedBeauty]

Lawd my locs feel dry and I swear I've tried everything and watched every YouTube video! The only time they feel soft is for a couple days after I wash and condish. Also two regrets: that I didn't get locs waaaaaaay sooner and that I didn't go bigger! I'm combining a lot of locs these days.

I use a du-rag to tie my hair up at night.

I have a slap cap but I only slept in it once. Too tight. I’m still sleeping in an old worn out satin bonnet from Sally’s and I have some cheapy satin pillowcases just in case it falls off.

I use a satin scarf. When my hair gets longer, I’m going to get a loc soc, or something similar. I don’t like caps, since my hair won’t stay in place.

I use neck gaiters or Buffs to cover my hair at night, then tie a scarf on top. Sometimes I fall asleep without putting on a scarf but I never forget to put on the neck gaiter or Buff. I also have a smooth satin-adjacent pillowcase I sleep on sometimes.

Ready to get these blonde highlights out of my locs! Any of you ladies know of a good black hair dye?

Nope. It is extremely hard to cover the blonde. I have used permanent color and semi. Even when I was a loose natural and relaxed.
I use a rinse after a few washes.

I’ve never heard of those. Let me google!

Wow...so it makes sense why so many people just cut it off or grow it out.

Looks like Natural Nirvana combed out her locs again.
