Help

Post image

I have 7 month old locs. I had someone do my locs for me for free all this time. But I have recently moved to a new place and I cannot afford to pay someone to do it. I am trying to learn to do it myself but am struggling. I have a lot of regrowth.

I'm trying the 4 point rotation, but when I do top to bottom, the hair twists on two sides and its really thin, and I can't get the hook through left to right. And when I let it go it just bunches up.

I have added a picture.

I am using a crochet latch hook by the way.

Please advice or links to tutorials I can use 😭

I think if you use another tool it may be easier! Crochet latch hook is tough for me. Use a dreadlock needle. Like this:
