I was really excited and looking forward to my Loc Extensions retwisted appt. It's the monthly maintenance on Locs....For years...I've been looking for "a once a month hairstyle!" The best part about it...is that I can do my own retwists once the Locking process begins....(we'll see...)
Unfortunately...this was NOT the retwisting visit I had hope for. My hair had not grown enough to do a retwisting. It turned out that I was not in need of a retwist but more in need of maintenance. I had a few Locs that needed lengthening and a few had slipped out that needed to be replaced. So I gladly sat for the appt. Afterwards, I fell in love with my Locs once again...they looked beautiful and the French Braid hairstyle was awesome!
My instructions were to come back in another month...for a retwist. Was told I can wash my own hair. I plan to do this by grouping sections of my Locs with a band...and wash my scalp area with a moisturizing shampoo.
In the meantime...I will continue to lightly spray Locs with a water and oil solution and moisture my scalp with a Shea Butter/Coconut Oil/Castor Oil hair recipe.
