Twists

I am in week 2 of wearing my twists I did from May 5 - 7. I don't have any pictures from when I first finished or the first week, so excuse the frizziness.

I dont know why I've never done these before. They are the simplest hairstyle to date. I did

twists that weren't too small and it took about 7-8 hours total, but all I do for upkeep is re-twist the most frizzy ones, spray my concoction, and apply Elasta QP Olive oil and Mango Butter to my ends and EVCO to my roots.

To do the style I first co-washed my hair with HEHH+HETT, Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine, and Aussie Moist and rinsed all the conditioner out. I let my hair get damp and put Cantu Shea Butter L-iC, and banded my hair in about 10-11 sections. I slept with my hair banded and about 7-8 hours later it was dry. I started the twists in the sections i created when banding which made it alot easier. I used only EVCO when twisting and put a drop on my finger per twist and started applying at the end and then the root and it got dispersed through the rest of the hair after the twist was done.

Since the twists took 2-3 days I started at the front (a part from ear to ear) and finished that then moved from the nape of my neck up. In between when I had to go out I just had the excess hair in medium sized braids under a hat.

At night for upkeep as I mentioned earlier I apply Elasta QP Olive oil and Mango Butter to my ends (I love the stuff keeps my hair shiny and my ends curled) and spray (the recipe is here) and put on a silk scarf. Because of the length of my hair the end sticks out the back I also sleep on a satin pillow case. I don't cover my ends with a bonnet like I've seen other naturals do because my curls always flatten if I do that.
