Don’t you just love accidental hairstyles that work?
I wasn’t even planning on doing a twist out. My biggest concern was how this cold weather and hard water had been drying my hair out.
Whoo, chile!
So I was simply trying to get some moisture back into my hair, and twisting it up in medium to large twists is always a good way for me to ensure my entire head gets moisturized.
So I lightly sprayed/misted my hair with water and made 13 chunky twists with Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Style Milk….
I wore the twists for two days (made great use of my beanies when I went out) and took them down after 48 hours…
Because Shea Moisture is a moisturizer (water based) not a twisting product, I bet you can imagine this didn’t last long.
So needless to say, I wouldn’t recommend this if you need a lasting style. But if you just need quick, moisturized one or two-day hair then this is a decent option. 🙂

Hi,
I am new to the all natural. When I do a twist out, some of the hair has curls and then parts look frizzy. What am I doing wrong?

Lisa that’s a really good looking twist-out! I use SM curl & style milk or the smoothie, and use flaxseed gel with it. I can always get a good two or three days from my twistouts – more when I leave them in longer before taking them out.

Thanks, Necey! Ooooooh! Never thought about adding flaxseed gel, girl. That should give me that extra hold. Will try that next!
neceyluv says
You know it! Plus it was you who finally got me to buy those flaxseeds anyway, LOL! I can’t wait to hear of your results!

Did you make sure your hair was fully dry? What did you use to set your hair?
