Hello cuties! hope you are all having a lovely day? This is my first 'how i styled my hair' post and its all about showing you what i do with my hair in between washdays. Things may get a little boring and i just wear my wigs throughout the week only letting my hair out when its time for a wash but i decided to switch things up this time.
Its not the first time i have tried a twist out but its my first since i started blogging. I like twists because i like curls.... whenever i'm not wearing my wig i'm either on a twist, twist out, bantu knot out, flat twist out or a flexi rod set.
Here's how i achieve my twist outs without much products:
*After wash day (the last washday was when i did my beer deep conditioning/rinse) i finger detangle while its about 80% dry apply moisturiser and seal with Shea butter.
* put my hair in many twist of about 1.5" and leave it to air dry.
*i wear my hair in twists for about a week moisturising and sealing when needed.
*few days to my wash day i take down the twists gently and fluff it a little and then pull it into a loose ponytail and tuck it under at my nape to form a bun.

That's how i do my twist outs...and it last me up to 3-4days before i unravel and twist dem into big sections for washday (i do not wash my hair loose). The reason i don't do them with a fresh twist after washday is that when i do them that way they tend to have less volume. The moisturiser and Shea butter added during the week helps the twists to have more definition and enables it to hold for more than a day without getting separated. Of all the looks its the last day look i love most because it gets bigger. If you want to try it out you could add a bit of gel to your edges or tie it down the night before take down to keep it smooth....i just brushed my edges lightly.
Here's a pic of what it looks like.
ps: my hair is heavily texlaxed (purposely under processed) i'm just 5 weeks post and its already looking like i need another relaxer...no way! i have no intentions of getting a relaxer till next year lol!
