Loc Retwist in the DMV

A loc retwist is the maintenance appointment that keeps your locs neat, healthy, and growing in the right direction. During a retwist, your loctician re-rolls new growth at the root to maintain the shape and pattern of each loc. Most people retwist every four to six weeks, though the right schedule depends on your hair texture and loc maturity.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I retwist my locs?

Most locticians recommend every 4–6 weeks, but it depends on your hair texture and how quickly your hair grows. Over-twisting can cause thinning, so spacing appointments out is usually better than going too often.

What is the best loc retwist gel?

Popular options include aloe vera-based gels, organic locking gels, and products specifically formulated for locs. Your loctician can recommend one based on your hair type. Avoid heavy waxes that can cause buildup.

How much does a loc retwist cost in the DMV?

Prices vary by loctician, loc length, and loc count. Check individual stylist profiles on Krowned for current pricing in your area.

Can I wash my locs before a retwist?

Many locticians prefer to start on clean hair. Some include a wash in the retwist appointment. Ask your loctician whether to come with freshly washed locs or if they will wash them as part of the service.

What is the difference between a retwist and an interlock?

A retwist re-rolls new growth in the same direction as the loc. Interlocking pulls the loc through the new growth using a tool, creating a tighter hold that lasts longer between appointments. Your loctician can help you decide which method suits your hair.
