  • @MarissaJOAT

    It looks like you gathered too few hair strands to start the locks in the first place. - Typically tiny locks are unhealthy locks. - If the density on that area is low, you have to gather a lot more hair in that area to give it a stable foundation. - Don’t go more than 7 weeks to retighten your locks. The edges will suffer - let me explain. For example when people get braids and don’t take them out for months, the weight of the braids pulls on the hair strand of their edges and thins them out. - while I say this, each person has their own journey. Good job on starting your own locks.👏🏾
