- If you need the basics of a 2 strand twist, watch THIS. It's done dry not wet, but rules the same.
- I snip the ends (approx. 1/8inch) of my hair after I twist. I probably need proper trim, but it helps.
- Less product in my hair works better and I only apply products in sections.
- I pile hair on top of my head (pineapple) and sleep w/ satin bonnet.
- More on products I use here.
I hope this was somewhat helpful, had a lot of people ask for official tutorials. Unfortunately, I don't do videos (time, learning curve etc) but there's many people I can recommend. My regime is the above and has been unchanged for the last couple of years.

thank u for sharing this process
ReplyDeleteHow long have you been natural?
ReplyDeleteThanks dear. I washed and moisturized yesterday and I'm two-strand twisting on dry hair today. I can't seem to keep a scarf on through the night though... that is when I even bother to put one on. 18 months natural growth this month (yippieeee)!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to show my dad your blog today because this morning he said my fro looks like a peacock's fan tail. He's totally enjoying picking on me these days!!! Maybe once he sees your pictures he'll think differently about natural hair.
Great tip about trimming after twisting. Beautiful as always. Smooches...
Ahh I wish my hair was this thick. When I twist my hair it never looks like this.
ReplyDeletewe have similar hair textures and i've always wondered how you have such a defined outcome! i think the mousse is the difference for me. definitely going to try adding it thanks for this post! about how many twists do you end up with when you're done?
ReplyDeleteI love this! I've always envied your hair, so nice to know we use a lot of the same products. Now if I could just get that twist-out down.... ;D

Thank you for sharing! You have the best twist outs on the internets! The coconut mousse and keeping hair wet while twisting was definitely what I was missing out on.
