retwist
Wind once more
Retwist refers to the maintenance process for loc'd (dreadlocked) hair, where new growth at the roots is twisted to incorporate it into the existing locs: I need to schedule a retwist—my roots are getting fuzzy.
The term functions as both noun and verb: She retwists her locs every six weeks.
Also called a loc maintenance or palm roll in some contexts.
