Hey y’all!
I swear my hair has been giving me fits lately; detangling takes forever and I’ve gotten a little tired of the bun. Now I will admit that I have been too lazy busy to do anything extra either. But I sucked it up Saturday night, washed my hair, cried while detangling (not really, but I wanted to) and committed to twisting my hair. All I can say is “these twist have been a life saver!”
Before
Hair in left in comb after detangling. Keep in mind I only comb/detangle when I wash & condition my hair.
Finished product.
Twist styled the following day.

Twist up close.
Twist stretched.
To achieve this style I washed my hair as normal concentrating mainly on my scalp area and then conditioned my hair using a mixture of leftover conditioners plus sunflower seed oil. I used an old t-shirt to towel blot dry my hair, then I applied my leave-in conditioner and finally coconut oil. I allowed my hair to air dry for a few hours and twisted my hair using Miss Jessie’s Curly Buttercreme.

I love this stuff…works great when I twist my hair!
It took about an hour and a half to twist my hair, which isn’t that bad especially if you pop in a good movie to watch. I prefer to do the twist on dry (or almost dry) hair because I get a little more length and it’s more manageable. And the Miss Jessie’s Curly Buttercreme gives me the right amount of hair and tons of shine. I will probably rock my hair like this for a while, it’s been super convenient, I love it!
How have you been rocking your hair lately?

first of all, your hair is ridiculously beautiful. I’m about to do some twists too, actually. second of all, thank you for showing the hair that comes out when you detangle. i no longer feel like i’m balding LOL! when i was pregnant, I shed almost no hair but now that baby is almost 4 months old, i couldn’t remember what was normal hahaha
Thanks so much! And I was thinking that I was going bald too but I had to remember that since I only comb my hair once a week (sometimes longer) that having that much hair is normal…lol
It looks good. I am planning on twisting also b/c I am tired of doing my hair. How long will the style last?
Thanks Tralanina! I usually only wear them about a 1-1.5 weeks, after that my hair gets frizzy and starts to look a mess. But not having to really style my hair for a week is great for me.
your twists are gorgeous!
Thanks Monet! =)
your hair is gorgeous! i absolutely love your twists!
Thanks so much!
