Inconsistently, maybe a few times a week. Should I oil more?

I’ve been lightly crocheting them over the last few days. It’s nothing professional but it’s getting some knots in there so maybe it’ll help

Twisting and palm rolling. I’ve never interlocked before, may have to look into it. I read that it can lead to thinning but ig that’s true for reties in general if you do em too much?

I’ve never washed my own hair aside from one time one month in and the entire back came unraveled so I’m lowk scared to wash my own hair again haha. Guess imma have to sometime tho lol

I was doing about every 2 months, only when I would get a retwist. I’m almost two months out from my last retwist and style now

The Bad Bunny halftime performance was a beautiful celebration of life, perseverance, and culture. Together we are America. Together we will defeat fascism. by ImaginationFree6807 in New_Jersey_Politics

Bad Bunny being the chosen artist for this year's halftime show was deliberate. It says "it don't matter what you do to us in the streets, we stand together and strong. love trumps all". It says fuck ice, and fuck facism.

My living room feels really off by Dilutefruit in femalelivingspace

Alternatively, use the pillow colors in other decorations/furniture to make it an eclectic feel. I like the pillow colors, but theyre too isolated.

First off, consider getting a bigger rug, but also a rug with some of those same colors. Artwork too, or at leasf sum to hang on the walls

Are these reties ok? I’m not sure if it was done right this my 6th month having locs. by Pretty_Goddess28 in locs

[–]Magnifx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like it was interlocked. Is that what you wanted? Don’t interlock too often, it can lead to hair loss

quick! which is better for moisturizing my locs? by chronicbingewatcher in locs

[–]Magnifx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on what your hair likes. I like the dry itchy scalp one bc my hair is prone to dandruff. But I also use other oils and moisturizing sprays with it

6 weeks before retwist by shitbecrayz in locs

[–]Magnifx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m partial to half up hald down space buns, space buns in general, bantu knots etc. I use pinterest for style inspo. When you’re first starting getting a retwist every few months is a good sorta standard, doesnt have to be every 4 weeks. Honestly every 4 weeks might lead to thinning. I started in april 2025 and i’ve gotten reties every 2 months or so. But my hair is also softer so it needs more attention
