Twist Out at 2.5 Years Natural = Hang Time


This twist out was acheived with Giovanni 50/50 Conditioner and EVOO on hair that had been freshly co-washed and left to dry for over a day. As you can see I used smaller sections and twisted through to the ends. I was pleased with the results for the most part. Twisting the ends while wet is a horrible challenge, especially in the back where my hair is a lot more dense. There was a ton of frizz in the back, but I rocked it for about 3 days.



Then on day 4ish...I decided to pull it back in a pony tail because I don't handle frizz very well, and it's still to cold to wash-n-go. This time, I decided to leave some hair out in the front, adding a little more 50/50 and some water to make twists. While twisting, I noticed that the ends behaved a lot better on hair that was only damp and not soaking wet. I let them dry on the ride to work and unraveled very slowly because they were still a little damp.
I was amazed at how defined my bangs were with such little dry time, and they were in good shape at the end of the day. Another thing I couldn't get over was the hang time!! My bangs were hanging perfectly and even had a little swing to them (ok!! ---ya'll know we naturals sometimes miss the swing!!) I retwisted at night with a little water and managed to keep them for about 3-4 more days.


Needless to say, this inspired me to dry twisting my whole head from a "mostly dry" state.. I did it and well...you will have to stay tuned for the results...lol!
