My First Retie – Starter Locs

Welcome to the blog!
I did my first retie!
It took 5 days on and off. I was more conscious about the front since it was my first time. I knew I wanted to do 4 point rotations so I watched some videos and got to it.
What I Used
- A crochet needle (Update: I use a loc tool now)
- Spray bottle with water
- Coconut oil (Update: I use grape seed oil)
- Jamaican Black Castor oil
I stayed in the mirror for the front and by the time I got to the back I was watching tv and chilling. I finished 1 am on a Saturday and I felt so proud of myself. After I finished I moisturized my hair and that’s it.

And after.
I definitely have some learning to do but I will get better the more I do it. Do you retighten your hair?
how many locs do you have?
Between 3001-320. I’ve been combining and creating new locs as my hair grows so it’s been changing
