Virtual Lock Buddies Group - All Welcome

[Onnica]

Hi. I agree. When I experience those I roll them between my index finger and thumb when I think about it. This will help to smooth them out. I do that to try to ensure that they don't get too big to go through the base during my retights. You could also palm roll. That creates cylindrical smooth locks. It's not that big a deal to me. Each loc has it's own unique pattern going on and I'm ok with that. You may want to be careful with the amount of oils you use until your locs mature too. I have read that too much can cause those lumpy areas. After the matrix or center of the loc is mature you can go to town with the oil and not be concerned with any negative effects to your developing locs. That can be a challenge when trying to maintain moisture but well worth the effort if you don't want those lumps and bumps. Oh, be sure to pull all the way through when you interlock because as you mentioned that is more then likely what caused your issue anyway. Peace and Blessings.
