KEEPING YOUR TWIST OUTS FOR A WEEK!!!

hello my kinkies Imelda here! we all know how difficult it is to twist our hair every night to get those curls. especially kinkies with tight schedules school, work and so on. I personally put my twist in on Sunday and rock the same twist out till Friday (wash day).

below are the tools you'll need for maintaining and styling your twist out.

to first rock an amazing twist out your twist must be on point. curl enhancers can be used to achieve those tight curl and coils you want. personally i like to use Shea moisture.

I put my twist in on Sunday in the evening.

day 1 twist out

maintaining your twist out is very easy contrary to what you may think. the most important tool for me would be my satin bonnet or satin scarf

the bonnet keeps my pillows from taking out all the moisture i put in. allowing me to go three days without moisturizing my hair!

after school i get home and put on my bonnet, i don't touch my hair. the next morning i take it off before taking a shower, so the steam from the water will fluff up my hair. when i get out i don't need a comb, i just hold by hair by its shaft and gently pull to give it some extra volume and abracadabra!

day 2 twist out

day 3 repeat every thing from day 2

day 3 twist out

on day 3 my hair would feel a little crunchy and in need of some moisture. i have perfected a "serum" which i call moisture blast lool!

 my spray bottle. my magic elixir lol! in my spray bottle i have: water(of course), suave conditioner,kinky curly knot today leave in, extra virgin olive oil, jojoba oil, coconut oil, rosemary leaf oil, avocado oil. you definitely don't have to have all these oils but I'm a little crazy so yeah!

i spritz this on my hair and gently massage, dont spritz too much as your twist may lose their definition and go all fuzzy, just enough to feel moist not dripping wet. I normally style it after this to mix up my look.

day 4 twist out styled into a fro hawk.

day 5 my final day of rocking my twist out and wash day*crying* i do as i do on day 2 let steam do most of my work then style as i please

day 5 twist out styled to one side

hope you learnt something from this! I was very happy when i found out i don't necessarily have to twist every night! you don't have to either. till we meet again my kinkies...frelios. ; )
