To retwist (or touchup), I usually use beeswax (It's not recommended but it holds good for my hair). But any twist gel for locks are good. The interlock method is not actually permanent, cuz ur hair will grow out (of course!) but it's a good way to tighten the root. You can do both retwisting &; interlock method. That's what I do. I like interlocking because my usually when I retwist, it untwists, but interlocking keeps it tight and u won't have much buildup.
