I have been retwisting my locs back to back and I missed my roots being unruly!!😅 I'm taking a break from retwisting all of my locs. 🌱🥰 Do you prefer a fresh retwist or allowing your roots to be free?

It’s pretty simple, actually. Though there a quite a few tutorials, none are very clear, so you have to just go with it and pick it up. The alphabet works like a chart (below). You rotate around the circle counter clockwise from the bottom, putting the corresponding letters on the circle (erasing parts of the original, where needed, such as J,K,L,M,N,P and B,Ch,D,F,G,H. The left side is the bas of your letter, and the top is what you add to it. For example, R. You’d erase a semi-circle from the base circle, and add three small dots. For an X, you’d draw a circle around the on the perimeter of the base circle, and add two lines protruding from it. Or a J would simply be a circle along the inside rim. I hope this helps!
