- Hey Everyone!
Here are my top 5 reasons why your retwist might not be lasting as long as you'd like it to! Of course, drop any of your own personal reasons why in the comments below :) Stay safe and be a decent human being please.

I did my first retwist yesterday using the super gro hair gel and I love it! My retwist looks so shiny, neat, and moisturized. You made a great point that water and oil doesn’t really last when retwisting your locs. I’ve tried doing that and my hair just puffs up even though I tie it up. I think using oil and water for a retwist should only be used for touch ups if you have a loose curl pattern.
Good tips. I kinda feel retwist aren’t really meant to last. They’re more for style and preference of the look, since hair only locks about an inch from the roots. I don’t retwist due to my preference (sometimes I’ll twist my few smaller locs. I’m semi freeform). I do admire the look on others (as long as they don’t over twist), it can make for nice cylindrical locs. I just know yours will be 🔥. They already are 😍.
Hello I have a question. So if you don’t rettwist will the new growth loc on its own? Or does it depend on the texture? I want to semi free form but idk if my new growth will loc as it grows longer if I don’t retwist it. I’m four mos in and I retwist monthly. Your opinion please
@@whitneywalsh9127started basically retwisting/maturing itself after about a year and a half for me. However, like they said, after about an inch of hair so if you want the tight to the root look - retwist
I just started my loc journey 8 days ago and I am watching videos to gain more insight , this gave me so much insight I thank you for posting this I just subscribed 🦋
Thank you! This video is right on time. I put mini twists in my hair in November and by December I decided I’m letting these loc. I’ve noticed that my retwist did not hold very well. I’m new to this and really want to learn how to do my hair. I appreciate all the information you are sharing. Thank you again so much.
Great video and tips👍🏿! My retwists only last for about 2 weeks. I sweat a lot in my sleep and when I exercise so by then I NEED to wash. I don’t mind though! I like both looks😍! Thanks for sharing ❤️!
Thank you so much! This video was very informative. I have been having issues with my retwist lasting. I have never really had this issue until a few months ago. A few of the reasons you mentioned could be my issue. Again, thank you for sharing.
The bun looks fye🔥 and this heat💯
Great video and I love this bun!
I literally just did a re-twist myself for the first time and I’m already knowing it won’t last, hopefully these tips work for me the next time i try to attempt lol, thank you ❤️❤️
This answered every single one of my questions. I have starters and work out 3-4 times a week. Thank you for your tips 🫶🏾
Thank you! I'm a year and one month in and challenging myself to learn how to do my retwists on my own and I followed your retwist tutorial and noticed that it didn't last but I realize it was definitely the product I used not being a strong enough hold. Ordered Nappstar's super hold gel for next time so hopefully it'll last a bit longer!
How's it going thus far with retwisting with nappstar? Any build up, does your hair maintain moisture? I received mine today 😁
@@T..L.. Its going pretty well so far! It is now my go to and I haven't seen any build up and my hair is staying moisturized as long as I spritz with rose water and don't get heavy handed with my oils
This made me feel so much better! I re-twisted for the first time after two months and I wore my durag and bonnet to sleep!
I also sprayed my hair everyday😭
I didn’t know!!!
And I used aloe Vera gel and it flaked so bad. My scalp was also soooo itchy. I put my jojoba oil but I needed to wash it.
So all in all, the re-twist lasted about two weeks!
I think now I know it’s okay for starter locs to unravel and moisture is a no no! I hope my next one will last longer!
My hair HATES aloe but loves glycerin. Maybe you need to avoid aloe too?
@@venetter thanks. I’ll see if it does that again for the next retwist. I’ll keep it dry and oil it then decide
i did my first retwist and it lasted a week, I think that is pretty good considering I’m so early into my journey
Yes sis great tip's love this content 💓
Hey there! Awesome vids btw, they're very helpful for my loc journey, I'm 4 months in, 4c med/small coiled starter locs, color treated before install. I literally got my nappstar loc gel package today and retwisted my front row as a test and girrlll 🔥🙌🏾. I washed it last week and retwisted with aloe gel + uncle funky marshmallow based gel in the pump bottle (forgot the name lol) and my crown area has kept twisted at roots, but my perimeter unraveled. It was a new experiment and it did pretty well. The Marshmallow base isn't thick enough for my 4c hair and the aloe gel isn't "tacky/sticky" enough, but those 2 together are quite nice... but BABBAAAYYY, this front row retwist with nappstar is just e v e r y t h i n g!

**Product questions from your experience using nappstar:
♡ Have you noticed whether or not this product builds up over time?
♡ Does it prevent the hair from being moisturized (dry gel texture on hair and hands makes me curious)? I like that the gel isn't greasy at all! It has "grip"😄
♡ ....Do you find the hair remains moisturized over the following days/weeks after retwisting with it ?
♡ Do you retwist with nappstar on DRY OR DAMP hair or on both -bc I find that When I dampened my hair I didn't get a great grip to retwist the front it was "slippery", I don't manipulate my hair when it's dry. The instructions didn't mention dampening before application 🤔🤷🏾♀️ What are your thoughts on that?
-- Thank you in advanced and thanks for your lovely vids🧡🌻!
I’m so glad I have a tighter curl pattern. I go to the gym often but I wear a swim cap in the steam room. I still get lots of moisture from that. I also wear a shower cap in the shower. Luckily it hasn’t unraveled on me 1 month in on my journey. I get my first retwist in 3 weeks. I wear a bonnet at night.
These are some great tips!
Another great video! After a year and some, I've always done water and oil. I'm too damn scared to add product lol.
I'm scared of product too so I try to keep it simple and natural and use the items my loctician started my coils with. 4mos in and they're doing great. Water and oil didn't hold for me, it just moisturized my 4c hair, I wanted a heavier product, that's why I'm trying nappstars', we'll see if it's a good purchase after I try it.
Bless
Good tips Des! -Jay 🖤
Great tips!❤️❤️❤️
So glad I found this, I've been thinking the issue is my hair not an issue others struggle with
Thank you! Very informative
My retwists last about 2 weeks. 1.5 years in and I use satin scarves ONLY to keep my frizzies flat
I have a looser hair texture and started getting two-strand twist when I get my retwist. That helped a lot and I can wear it for a while. Some loctians charge extra but it’s worth the extra money cause you can go less often
Thanks for the tips
Hi Des, I was retwisting my hair as I watched your video. I have a looser curl pattern, I put it in a style so it can stay better.
Thank you 💖🙏🏽🥰
Those darn bonnets...lolol thanks for the video!
so how you prevent flat locs ? that’s the only reason why I wear bonnets all the time because whenever I use the scarf my starter locs are are always flat when I take it off
Same !! I planned to used scarves once my locs matured and I didn’t have to worry about flattening
@@Meenn130 exactly!
Flat locs can come from laying in wet locs, so if you wash your hair and don’t allow it to fully dry before you lay down it can cause the loc to become flat. There are videos on YT to fix flat locs in its early stage.
@@tyrawhite2237 but I don’t lay on my locs when they are wet , and most of the videos I saw have only been about mature locs
Nice content Dez, love your videos. Your clients with retwist lasting 6 weeks, are you speaking of no unraveling at the shaft and the root? What about new growth? I’m one week into my 2nd retwist and it’s still holding but my shaft is frizzy because I only twisted my roots. I used ORS lock & twist gel for the first time and I tie my hair down at night with a scarf. I also only spray my hair daily not my scalp with Rose water and oil. I’ll have to try the gel you mentioned, 6 weeks would be nice. I just figured out the oil is what was making my scalp itch 😩. Blessings to you 🙏🏾
The struggle is clearly real lol 😆 I'm glad that I'm not the only one with this challenge 😅
my scarf never stay on when im sleep
I be using lock n twist supreme hold and it works great for locs and doing braids and it isn’t that expensive….
Dope content 🔥. Check out the Nia the loc god gel it had a great hold and smells really good
Good products I love them 💪🏾❤️☺️
@@ronicasmith3643 yeah they are, I just ordered the shampoo and I’m going to review it on my channel
Can you link your loc sock situation?
I got my first set of lics last week Monday. It was 45 at first. There was too much space n all that. So I re did them myself. Bare in mind. The first time I comb my hair other than up in a puff with shoelaces will be the last. I've trippled or doubled my hair. I haven't counted for the mere fact that I finished last night. It shrunk no biggie
Um what do u think about sulfur 8 or zimmi neutralizing shampoo.
Um I live in Jamaica. St. Thomas too be specific n um.... Yeah most of y'all products don't even exist here. I can't do shipping considering I'll prolly go to prison for fraud n they don't buy overseas things like shampoo that's needed just some load of crap.
So my opinions are limited
I Literally Fixed My Scarf And Bonnet While Watching This Video ‼️Lol 😅😅
Avocado and kiwi loc paste
Admired the beauty
I use NiaThaLocGod Loc Her Products ❤😊
I’m a Loctitian and have people complain, my own retwist last about 2 days. I have 4c 3a.
My hair has been locked for a year now this month and my retwist only last a day or two.. why is that??
💯💥❤️
Me: Ohhhhhhh now it makes sense.
I’m one month in on the journey
What about the flatness that comes with wrapped up wet hair? Is that okay? I'm afraid of flat locs. I'm 5 weeks in.
^^^
A year now , you still got them?
keeping rope twists or braids for 2 weeks helps my hair last for about 6 weeks
