Okay, so yesterday I 2strand twisted my hair with mini-twists. Every time I start mini twisting my hair and I'm within my 1st 2hours of twisting, I say to myself..."wtf was I thinking? This takes forever!" lol...it took my 6 hours to twist my hair and I had to take breaks and stop because I was entertaining my son and his friend that stayed at our house over the weekend and also my son had a baseball game on Saturday afternoon. So, saturday was a hat day to say the least lol...I finally finished twisting my hair around 10:30pm at night. I love 2strand twisting my hair because they last a few weeks and it helps me stay out of my hair so I can retain length. My hair goal for 2011 is bra strap length and I'm almost there! Incorporating protective styling into your hair regimen, in my opinion, helps you get to your hair goal quicker. Also incorporating the correct tools into your regimen so you are not tearing your hair out is important too. Healthy hair growth with proper tools is another post that I will do later. Anyways, when I 2strand twist my hair, I divide my hair into 4 big sections. I part my hair with my fingers down the middle and do 2 sections in the back and 2 in the front. I always start twisting with the back left section and then once finished I move to the right back section. Then I move to the right front section and twist towards the middle but not finish it completely. I then move to the left front section and twist. I save the middle top of my hair last. (This may sound confusing, so I will eventually do a video about it:)
When I twist, I only use my fingers to part my hair. I always use a gel and a butter to twist. I use KoilsByNature hair and body butter(I love the citrus scent the most thus far!) and Taaliah Wajid lock it up gel. Before I started using Taaliah Wajid, I used Kinky Curly Curling Custard which worked well too. But Taalih gel is much less expensive and it works about the same if not better:) I plan to wear these twists in my hair as long as they will last. Probably about 4 weeks! It's important to maintain your twists properly in order to keep them looking fresh. I will blog about that next time...until then, Much Love! <3 CurlyTai
