In an effort to keep trying new things with my hair I did a twist out on my hair this past Friday. After watching eight million YouTube videos I got the confidence to give it a shot. I normally do twist outs on Sav's hair all the time. Mainly because it's the only thing I know how to do and secondly because it doesn't take forever to get it done.
I started my own hair by shampooing with Shea Moisture and doing a deep conditioner. I can't remember the name of the deep conditioner but it's the Aloe one in the mustard yellow pack. They sell it everywhere. I then did two strand twist all over using Cantu Shea Butter leave-in conditioner.
I didn't use the hair dryer. I took them out Saturday morning using Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie and grape seed oil. The grape seed oil that I used wasn't anything fancy. It's an all natural grape seed oil I found in my beauty supply store. The pics below are from days one, three and four (today). Have you tried anything different with your hair lately?

I just had success for the first time with a twist out too. But I have to keep mine up in a puff w/ a headband or scarf since my edges are so thin. Unfortunately I have to use heat to stretch my hair. My length is only 1 inch when freshly washed, but it's 5 inches when I blow it out :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I swear by it but I did notice that my hair got thicker when I used the Doo Gro Mega Thickening Oil. I would apply it at night before putting my satin cap on. I saw a few videos on You Tube that talk about stretching out your hair with a blow dryer after doing a twist out or roller set. I've never measured my hair but it is SUPER short when I wear a wash and go. :-) I'm loving the feeling of having "big" hair!
DeleteSo pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!!
DeleteVery Cute!!! I think Im going to have to try this!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Try it, it was fast and easy!
DeleteLooks good- even better day four. My twist outs never last more than a day or two for my liking. :-(
ReplyDeleteAww, are you twisting it up before bed? I finally decided to wash it out today and do another one. It looked okay yesterday, but it didn't exactly look like a twist out. It looked more like a curly afro which I liked but I just feel like my hair needs to be washed. Try it again!
DeleteYea thats the thing. Once I took it out, I didn't put it back in- due to size. But I did cover it.
DeleteGirl, you are beautiful! I'm going to try and make it through the natural journey next year. I guess it will comne with trying lots of different products. I see everyone does things a little different.
