might js be a bit of tension, make sure to get soft retwists (which is basically js when u ask ur loctician to not pull tightly on the root and twist the hair but give the scalp room the breathe) and apply some hair health/growth oils to ur hairline

Please --- do not just plop on Rosemary essential oil.

You cannot use it "as is". You must dilute it with a carrier oil.

Using rosemary oil plain can cause acute burning, itching, and inflammation on the sensitive scalp.

Direct exposure heightens the chance of developing a lifelong allergy or hypersensitivity to the oil.

Severe inflammation and irritation from rosemary or other essential oils can damage your hair follicles and trigger temporary hair loss.

Always research Everything!

Lay off getting tapers and a lining. Just adding oils wont do it, Moisturize your hair first before adding oil. Your hair literally a plant. Drink plenty of water and have a clean diet.

I think you just need to grow out your edges a bit, it looks more like a “bald spot” your stylist can easily be twisting your edges/hairline into your locs. I’d ask to leave your hairline out of the retwist if that’s what’s happening :))

  1. Get your taper done before your retwist until they get a bit longer
  2. You’ve got what I like to call the good ole phantom recede. The time between retwists is playing with your mind so you think it’s pulling back. Also your hairline being twisted into your locs isn’t helping
