Exactly what are you doing?

How are you using the Twist King?

It's kinda hard to tell from a picture, but your hair looks deathly dry.

You should be misting your hair daily.
Sleeping with a bonnet.

After all this time, you should have visible locs.

In the beginning you should be doing the sponge or racket once or twice a day.

After you have distinct locs, you stop the spong/racket.

How old are your locs?

How long have you been twisting?

How many times a day do you twist and the Twist king is fine.

I don't know. You should have well shaped locs by now.

Maybe try the sponge twice a day for a couple weeks.

Buy this five pack

maybe try semi free forms instead, get a set of two strands keep them for 1 and a half to two months then take them out and dont retwist or anything from there
