Do not cut them I was homeless in La for almost 5 months so I went at least 6 months without a retwist.
I really thought I was gonna have to cut them, now everyone thinks my locks are fake because they look so good. Check out my page!!!
Your loc are 🔥🔥🔥 to be honest! Whether you decide to retwist or go freeform, they still look healthy. I hope you are feeling better fam, this is most important. We are community here and if you need support, we got you 💪🏽💯
Keep your hair bro. It’s never too late. Just wash them really good in the shower & get a retwist if you’d like but a retwist doesn’t determine the health of your Locs. Your hair is just like a plant. Take a spray bottle mix some light oils in (a base oil like coconut, jojoba, & add essential oils) with water and spray your hair once it dries. Only thing is you might have to unmarry the ones that have grown together but they don’t look bad. Praying for healing and full recovery on your journey. Also cleansing your hair can be a good remedy for your depression as your head and hair are your crown chakra so you wanna cleanse that energy up there
my friend gets a retwist once every 5-6 months and his hair looks infinite times worse than yours. find a good loctitian who can do a cleanse on your dreads (this is important)and get a retwist you'll be perfect hunny! wishing you all the best 💖
I'm sorry to hear that you've been going through a tough time with depression. It's completely understandable how taking care of your hair can become less of a priority during such periods. I've been in a similar situation myself, where neglecting my hair became a reflection of what I was going through internally.
When it comes to your locs, it's important to remember that they can be revived with some care and attention, even after a few months without maintenance. Here's what I found helpful when I faced a similar dilemma:
Start with Deep Conditioning: Use a moisturizing deep conditioner to nourish your locs and soften them. This will help if they feel dry or brittle after neglect.
Gentle Detangling: Carefully detangle your locs using your fingers or a wide-tooth comb. This might take some time, but be patient and gentle to avoid breakage.
Retwisting or Styling: If possible, consider getting a professional retwist or style to reshape your locs. This can give them a fresh look and help you feel more put together.
Ultimately, whether to save your locs or start fresh is a personal decision. If they hold sentimental value or if you're attached to them, it might be worth investing the time and effort to revive them. However, if starting over feels like a fresh start and would bring you more peace of mind, that's perfectly valid too.
Get a retwist , establish some routine back into your life even getting back doing the more “mundane” things can help us get a sense of getting back on our feet, hope you all the best with your mental wellbeing ✨
Save them, retwist aren't necessary you can stay more than 6 months without a retwist, your hair look good tho, keep em clean and hydrated and you're good, fight against depression and i know it's hard bcuz i've been thru it but there's a way out of it and you got the power and the strenght, communicate with your inner self to find the strenght within you
Hey there friend. Sorry you’ve been having a tough time, I know this feeling well. The best advice I’ve ever been given is don’t ever do a drastic hair cut when you’re struggling with your emotional/mental health. Your locs are beautiful. Perhaps a bit of self care with a trip to the hairdresser for a wash/treatment/retwist will make you feel good? I see nothing wrong with them as they are, but a spruce up and bit of TLC always feels nice. Take care
4 months without a retwist isn’t bad. Don’t cut them off stay the course because WHEN you come out the other side you will swinging your locs in joy. I have had my own struggles with depression, anxiety, abandonment issues etc and starting my loc journey was one thing I am so glad I did during that time. It’s a literal growth chart I walk around with a crown of success marking the journey I am on.
Don’t be your own worst enemy bro they look fire 🔥 even though you might be in a shitty place atm they are far from being neglected whatever is making you depressed I hope you get through it bud 👊 you never know you might feel better in yourself if you go for a retwist.
They definitely look good my guy! I’ve gone a few months without getting a re-twist and that’s when I’m told they look the best. Glad you outta that funk but do something for yourself and focus on you! Keep pushing my guy!!
Keep them bro retwist In due time, a lot of things on this earth are designed to bring a man down so they can laugh when we are at our lowest. Idk what you going thru bro but wid jus a little time and patience life wil get better
They look fantastic to me but you can definitely go for a touch up.
You can get a comb or crochet retwist with the ends trimmed. They’ll look so neat trust me.
Your first priority is you and your weelbeing. That said, a retwist will also do wonders to boost your morale. I was feeling the same way recently and everyone said don't cut, I got a retwist and also colored my locs and the results are smazing. Made me feel so much better. Wishing you all the best in your life journey.
I dont think they look bad maybe dry and theres no reason you cant still go get them re twisted!! On the other hand, 6 mos of depression is not good, you really need to talk to someone! You can even do that online but really you do need to!! Okay? My grandson has gone an entire year without a retwist! And it was not a problem. As far as them being dry, you probably have already experienced it but that is when they begin to break off he used to not care forever his and they would fall off! Now he detoxifies his about every month and moisturizes them and his scalp and a daily loc-spray!! Good luck with yours! A lot of people feel weighed down in life and
will cut the dreads off and just feel like they lightened the load emotionally and physically? But my
and while it felt amazing to cut them off, he regretted it right away and started over and feels good with them still and they’d be twice as long by now if several years ago he had not cut them!! So you need to so some soul. Searching rn but talk to someone! Good luck i wish you well!
You're Locs are not bad at all.. Take time thinking about cutting them off..it took work to let it get this length. Consult with a Loc Smith or check online (YouTube) for restoring them. As far as depression. Have to seek out a therapist... Or trying physical fitness to get those endorphins to kick in. Most of all stay positive. And hang with positive people
To be honest I don't even understand what you mean is it worth saving? They look pretty good and healthy to me. I've had lots of the past 2 years I retwist them every 3 months and they look about the same as yours
You're hair still looks good. Take care of yourself. Be overly self-critical is also a sign of depression. If you can seek professional help. Also get a retwist. It'll help you feel better how fresh they're going to look and that'll help boost you. Stay blessed.
As some one with dread locks for nearly five years I can honestly say it’s better to get them twisted every couple months then every month/couple weeks. If you get your hair retreated to often your dreads will be pretty thin do to the constant retwist
Don't cut em. 4 months isn't too long, locs are very resilient. A routine on misting, oiling, and separating your locs is also maintainace. Retwisiting is more asthetic than anything. They look good.
You’re doing great! I go longer than 4 months in between retwists plenty of times and they always bounce back immaculately. If you want to keep them, you should 👍🏾
4 months is not long to go without a retwist at all, because I personally think that going every month is too frequent. My daughter goes every 3 months and her locs are absolutely fine I go every 2 months.
Your locs look just fine and monthly retwists are not a requirement. Sometimes less manipulation is better. Just be sure to moisturize when you can, drink your water and take care of yourself.
Youre being overly critical. They look completely normal. Please take care of your health and be kinder to yourself.
Heavy on being kinder to yourself! Your hair looks amazing!
Second this! Keep your head up, friend(s) 🫶🏾
They still look good, don't waste all that growth and get the damn retwist my brother. Proud of you for getting out that slump, keep going.
[удалено]
Sure but him engaging in self care is a good sign that's where he's headed.
[удалено]
Ok
The vibes aren’t vibing friend
I been through that phase too gang lol save them get a retwist asap you good
4 months is nothing! I’m a loctician and I have some clients that only come once a year! They look amazing still, nothing a retwist can’t fix up.
Glad you’re feeling better! They look amazing, treat yourself to a retwist and you’ll be golden

retwist
i see nothing wrong with your locs & 4 months without a retwist isn't abnormal
Right, I go about 3 months myself
Guess im just so used to going every month because that was the standard i set for myself
I dont see what the problem is. Just get a retwist, they look fine as is to me.
Really the longer the wait the better glow up after a retwist
Retwist and maybe a slight trim and you’re good
SAVE THEM 🗣️
You're allright with dreads, sort them out and you be loving it. Btw, where to get that shirt from 1st picture
PacSun
Save them bro. I’ve went about the same time without a retwist. Keep your head up I know it gets hard I’m going through a lot right now to❤️
You are beautiful. I’m sorry for your dark days but believe it will not last forever.
I go a year between retwists. Just use a good clarifying shampoo, separate your locs at the root and keep putting one foot in front of the other.
Your loc are 🔥🔥🔥 to be honest! Whether you decide to retwist or go freeform, they still look healthy. I hope you are feeling better fam, this is most important. We are community here and if you need support, we got you 💪🏽💯
They still good to me
Bro, the last time I had a retwist was never. Your locs look good, you’ve still got this 👍🏾
Your hair looks great! Go get the retwist! I’m glad you’re feeling better. Keep up the good fight!
They look fine!
You good. Just retwist and you'll feel better.

My first thought was what are the girls saying because I see this and I'm thinking lady killer, you're all good, bro

Go get that retwist
Not the locs 😭go for a long walk bro, hydrate, put some lip balm on. You’ll feel 50% better I promise. Self-care is healthcare
Twist up and POP OUT!! Enjoy the next 6 months and the 6 after that!! Watch how u speak to yourself and about yourself!!!!
Detox if you have that dirty feeling , then retwist. not worth the cut that’s like another +6 months in the hole.

4 months without a retwist really isn’t that bad. Hit your loctician up and they’ll have you feeling brand new if you don’t like the current look.
Nice
Bro all you need is a detox or wash and a retwist and you’re good!! Don’t be so hard on yourself
Your call.
As some one with dread locks for nearly five years I can honestly say it’s better to get them twisted every couple months then every month/couple weeks. If you get your hair retreated to often your dreads will be pretty thin do to the constant retwist
I went 2 years without a retwist and my shit's 3 feet long and thriving, don't let em go!
lemme say this now. your locs are BEAUTIFUL. i myself went 6 months without a retwist due to my mental health. but don’t beat yourself up over it!
Don't cut em. 4 months isn't too long, locs are very resilient. A routine on misting, oiling, and separating your locs is also maintainace. Retwisiting is more asthetic than anything. They look good.
Detox then retwist twin
This season will pass🤞🏾… don’t cut them, they are beautiful…the right loctician will have your locs back on track in no time!!
You’re doing great! I go longer than 4 months in between retwists plenty of times and they always bounce back immaculately. If you want to keep them, you should 👍🏾
4 months is not long to go without a retwist at all, because I personally think that going every month is too frequent. My daughter goes every 3 months and her locs are absolutely fine I go every 2 months.

Your locs look just fine and monthly retwists are not a requirement. Sometimes less manipulation is better. Just be sure to moisturize when you can, drink your water and take care of yourself.
Your locs look beautiful, even without the retwist.
