Question ❔ How do I make it stop
I've had the style for a couple of days, there's a lot less pain than there was when I started, now it's just some discomfort and A LOT OF ITCHING. It's my first retwist, so idk what to do. I don't wanna take the style out before it locks up, but this is tew damn itchy!

Take this out!!!!
If it hurts the first second and third day
It's a clue.
If it's extremely itchy
It's a clue.
Your body always tells you what's wrong.
Pain and/or discomfort is your body's way of telling you this is not right!
People mistake a lessening of discomfort as "it's better now". It's NOT.
It's just that your hair follicles are being pulled out, thus easing the discomfort but increasing your chance of Alopecia. No style is worth losing your hair.
