ME, MYSELF AND MY FRO : Twists and Twists Out on My TWA

Hello ladies, this is the second post on ME, MYSELF AND MY FRO. I hope the first post made some sense? Well without wasting time, let’s dive into this right away. To twist my hair, this is what I basically do. I have included some things I did not include in my hair routine post, because the first four items on the steps I have listed down here, form part of my current hair regimen as well.

These are the steps I follow to twist my hair:

1.      Co-wash my hair with my Tresemme Naturals Nourishing Moisture Conditioner (Please click the natural hair language tab to find out what co washing means).

2.       I dry my hair with my T shirt. I use a T shirt because the shirt material is more gentle on the hair than a towel. The towel tends to absorb more moisture from the hair. We know our natural kinks need moisture to stay healthy

3.       I use a water based leave in conditioner to moisturize my hair. A water based moisturizer has water as the first ingredient and natural hair loves water. An example of a water based leave in conditioner is the Giovanni Direct Leave in Conditioner or My honey child Aloe Vera Leave in Treatemnt. There are so many other types of water based moisturizers.

4.       Then I seal in the moisture with my bled of oils. This blend has all sorts of oils which I mix into an applicator bottle I hoarded after using the Vitals Olive Oil Virgin Hair product, lol. Here is a list of them:

a.       Extra Virgin Olive Oil

b.      Coconut Oil

c.       Jamaican Black Castor Oil

d.      A few drops of Tea Tree Essential Oil

e.      A few drops of Peppermint Essential Oil

5.       I section my hair with my clamps as if I were to do a large cornrow from front to back. I am sorry I do not have pictures but here is a link to my YouTube channel to see how I do this.

6.       On each of the large sections, I section off another little one which I would be twisting.

7.       I apply some styling product to every little section of hair before twisting. I was using the MissJessie’s Babbybuttercream, but it is finished now and I just got the Moisture Butter Whipped Curl Cream by Beautiful Textures and the Kinky Curly Curling Custard. They both smell nice but I haven’t tried any of them yet.

Here is what my hair looks like after twisting it. 

Here are some the results of a couple of twist outs I've done. Obviously I haven’t really gotten a hang of a technique that would give me a better definition. Someone from Olori has suggested I twist my hair dry, so I will be trying that soon. Do you have another suggestion as to how I can get a better curl definition for my twist outs? Please feel free to put it down in the comment box below.

Thanks again for stopping by. See you in the next “postpisode” (Post and Episode), on ME, MYSELF and MY FRO, lol!! It is going to be a quick one month length check.

Cheers,

Acharacha
