Question ❔ Will getting a retwist fuck up my hairline even more (16)
Also I’ve been sleeping without head protection for the first past week and i feel like they look better? I always thought sleeping without headwear would mess up the locs really bad

Cover your hair, dawg. You want to avoid lint and dirt getting in your locs. Your hair can also break off.

Sleeping w/o covering your locs will mess up your hair. THAT is one of the ways to get lint, dirt, & other foreign particles trapped in your locs(may also cause breakage unless you have silk pillowcases). I can even see quite a few white particles in your hair in both pics(maybe dandruff). Locs require MORE maintenance, not LESS. You should be washing your hair regularly(cold water helps with the locing process) & keeping your scalp moisturized. Healthy locs require healthy hair & a healthy scalp. Take good care or you will lose your hair
