No retwist? No problem!: A Loc Tutorial (summerbabi)

Don't fall into the trap that says you need a fresh retwist for a cute hairstyle. Besides, messy is the new black! Whatever that means.

Here are some cute looks you can wear to the office or out on the town when your scalp is nowhere to be found.

I was not trying to be rude, I just find chescalocs more entertaining thats all. I will continue to watch and hopefully it gets more interesting... geez!!!

[chescalocs]

@BlaqueWoods i appreciate your support and didn't personally call you rude. sorry if you felt otherwise. but you have to admit, saying "i don't like these new people" could be interpreted as rude or unfriendly. thanks for continuing to tune in, i hope you'll soon see what i saw in both mark and naomi.

Your styles were very creative. I am looking forward to see what you are going to do next. They also are very cute on you. Thank you sooooo much

For the first time ever I've done the wash and go with no retwisting (partly cuz I'm lazy :-(..) so I was looking for styles to do to shield the new growth till I retighten again. My locs are long and thick so this should be interesting. Summerbabi...I love ur accent!!

@logikgirl12 if the loc isn't mature it will most likely unravel. you should avoid cutting your locs until they are fully loc'd from root to tip. if your ends aren't neat, i'd suggest pall rolling them to help smooth them out and make them more uniform. but at the end of the day, patience is the best ingredient :)

i love it with the bang and the flower on the side it's so cute! i have a random question about locs: is it possible to cut off the ends once the locs have matured so it looks more neat, more clean? or will it compromise the locking process? thnks for answering...

@summerbabi...yes I was like that too when I just started, and my locs were pretty short and because they're also pretty fine also I used to think that the messy look was not cute so I used to retwist ever so often, now I don't...but that might have a little to do with the fact that they're now waaaay longer and I'm a bit lazy...lol

I like this...because I don't like to use a lot of pins and bands....thank you
