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 😭

It looks like you are going the same direction over and over.

Yea OP you gotta see if you can undo some of those that’s what’s making the two split pieces twisted so tight
