Woow, this is actually the best video i have seen of self retightening, very clear, attention to detail is perfect!!! Great job will use this for self retightening! Thank you
I would say it's more of a "hair state" then a style. You can do all sorts of hair styles with most any "hair state". For example, you can do the half up style on loose natural hair, relaxed hair, or loced hair. I totally get what you mean though. It's a bit of a commitment since interlocks (especially small/ micro sized ones) are more tedious to take out than traditional rolled/ twisted locs.
I could listen to you and your gorgeous accent all day, you made me feel like I wanted to self retie 🙌🏿 You did a great job and your locs are beautiful.
Thanks for suggesting this. It didn’t occur to me to show how I do the back. I’ll try and make a video for that. I just retightened today. If I had read your message sooner. Hopefully in the next 5 - 6 weeks I’ll be ready to retighten again.
I've been doing my own hair since day one but I'm struggling with getting holes. Even when I'm sure I am going in the correct way (I use a 3 way mirror) I still end up with a few holes. Right now I need to check each loc on my next retie and fix any holes I find. (Sigh) that's about to make the process take twice as long.
Great video! I have had locs since October '20. I love them. But it's costing me $60 a month. I'm on a fixed income and I want to try and do my own hair. I'm 60 yrs. old. Do you think I can do it?
welcome to the locs club. its such a beautiful hair. Yes you can do it yourself Just be patient and take it slow. so you don't marry two locks. use your fingers to feel every move you make. its a tiring process but you sure can do it. start with the back so if you don't finish or make a mistake it hidden wey back there.
I have retightened my hair and it took about several hours over 7 days, during March 2021. I commend you for retightening your hair. I also posted a video to show my process.
Beautiful job! Did you put a knot at the root at the end of your rotation? Thank you for this video. I start my journey tomorrow and in time I would like to do my own retires.
No I did not. Once you get to the bottom and can’t pass the tool anymore just let it be. Thanks for watching and wish you all the best. You will definitely enjoy your hair. But remember to give it time to do what it’s meant to do. Be patient with your hair and love every moment.
good morning thank you for this video i just got my sisterlocs last month and i want to start to retighten my own hair but since i am new to the sisterlocs should i wait before i do it my self or should i just do it lol lol
I do it every 5 weeks. My hair has been growing a lot lately. It takes me btw 11 - 13 hours to finish. Though not at once. I usually spread it over a weekend.
For now I’m not really sure how long I want it. I’ll let it grow to bra strap and if I don’t like the length I’ll definitely cut it shorter. I don’t want it too long for sure.
