This weekend I re-twisted my hair with Herbal Essence's Totally Twisted and I HATED IT for two reasons:
1.) It didn't really give me enough slip to make my twist nice and neat...my hair was kinda bunching together as I twisted.
2.) My hair took FOREVER to dry. I woke up the next morning to soaking wet hair with no definition at all.
***Needless to say, I was bummed.*****
So last night I started the process ALL OVER AGAIN with Trader Joes' Nourish Spa conditioner at about 6:30 pm (twisting in smaller sections with gobs of conditioner). This morning my hair was almost completely dry, and I just sealed with some shea as I untwisted. Fluffed, pinned the top, and I was happy once more.
My last set lasted me three days, and on the last day I refreshed it by running my hair underneath the shower a few times and spraying it with some Dr. Miracles Braid Spray. The twist-out pattern stayed in tact and the water gave me more volume at the roots. The spray allowed me to moisturize without heavy cream conditioners and/or disturbing the curl pattern.
Any ladies with 4a/4b hair should try this out. It really helps to show your length and gives a funky, coily fro style to boot :)

so you were able to wash a twistout and still have the same look afterwards?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if that would work for me....I think my hair would shrink into a fro...
Girl yes!! I was like Whhhhaattt?? But it really worked. The most important thing to remember is to not run your fingers through your hair. Just let the water hit it, and shake your hair out while still in the shower.
ReplyDeleteMy hair smashes overnight (think pancake flat) and is harder to revive on day 3...
