Okay, if anyone else is having the following issue, please let me know how you've handled it. Everytime I wash my locs they tend to marry one another. This has only been happening over the last few months. I only retwist my hair after it fully dries (I do, however, spritz the roots when I retwist because I KNOW not to twist on dry hair). While my hair is drying, after a wash, I am constantly separating my locs so they don't loc together, but they still do! At the root that is. I tried something different. I used to always wear bantu knot-outs when I wanted to curl my locs and I never had this issue then. So when I washed my hair this time I decided to put my hair into bantu knots to dry. I wasn't going for the curly look, but this method of drying my hair seemed to help with the marrying issue a lot! Each loc is still separate although I haven't retwisted them. What works for you guys?
In other news, I am pleased to say that I was finally able to put my locs into one french braid w/o using an excessive amount of pins. I never pin my hair up (laziness), but I will have to start now. That is because *drumroll* I was accepted into a nursing program finally! YES!!! Let's take a moment to celebrate! Hahaha! I have to have my hair off my collar for clinical so I'm glad I finally can pin it up. My hair is so thick y'all. When I've attempted ponytails before I could only do one in the top of my head, but last night I was able to finally put my hair into a low ponytail. Hooray for another loc accomplishment, lol.
Here are a few pics, including some from my recent vacation (Hilton Head Island, South Carolina) enjoy and thanks for reading!

hott as always. u look fabulous.
Congratualtions on the nursing program! And the ponytail!
Great pics, too!
I hvenr really had the marrying problem at the roots, but a few of my smaller locs like to cling to each other after washing, LOL.
Yours pics are fabulous and your locs are GORGEOUS! I french braid my locks in about four rows going to the back of my head before washing and that helps my locs from marrying.
Congrats! My locs tend to marry after washing. Periodically, while the hair is still wet, I just grab adjacent locs and pull them in different directions to separate them.
Your locs are beautiful! I gently go through mine when I wash as I'm also oiling my scalp. I also finger comb since I spritz everyday. It helps a bit.
