How often should I get my locs retwisted? Is there a definitive timeline that one should adhere to in order to maintain the integrity of the locs while ensuring they look their best? Could it vary based on personal hair texture or lifestyle choices? For instance, do individuals with thicker or coarser hair require different retwisting frequencies compared to those with finer strands? Additionally, might environmental factors—such as humidity or exposure to sweat—affect how rapidly new growth appears and therefore necessitate more frequent retwisting? Should I also consider the potential impact of my daily hair care regimen or styling preferences on the timing of retwisting sessions? Furthermore, how do professional stylists gauge the appropriate intervals for clients, and what insights might they offer regarding the health and maintenance of locs as they grow? Is there a balance between aesthetic appeal and overall hair health that one should keep in mind?
