A “locs retwist” refers to a maintenance procedure for dreadlocks, also known simply as “locs.” Dreadlocks are formed by allowing hair to mat and tangle over time, creating ropes or strands of hair that become tightly interlocked. A locs retwist involves re-twisting the new growth of hair at the roots of each dreadlock to maintain the neatness and shape of the style.

Here’s how the process typically works:

1. Sectioning: The hair is divided into sections, and each dreadlock is isolated for individual attention.
2. Root Re-twisting: Using a comb or fingers, the new growth of hair at the roots of each dreadlock is carefully re-twisted. This process involves twisting the hair clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on the desired direction, to encourage the matting and locking of the hair.
3. Product Application (Optional): Some individuals choose to apply a locking gel, wax, or other product to aid in the twisting process and help the hair maintain its shape.
