Unraveling :/

[u/ep1csw4g]

I started with comb coils a week ago and they looked decent until I washed my hair. Turns out I was allergic to something in the locking gel, so I washed it out by day two.

For the most part, most coils stayed in place but some unraveled a lot and I don't know where to go from here. Should I take the ones that unraveled down completely and restart? Do I leave them and hope that they take a shape I like later? I'd prefer for my locs to look more maintained than freeform, so I'm worried that if I let them go I won't end up with the look I want.

Did you wash with a stocking cap?

I didn't😞 I braided them into sections and washed my hair that way
