hello! thanks for the tips. i’m new to experimenting with my natural hair and recently i’ve gotten so frustrated that i’ve been contemplating going back to braids, although i really don’t want to…
anyway, i was wondering about maintaining the look. my biggest problem is getting my twist outs to last…you said that you re-twist at night. does that means you do the entire process again? add product, twist, add rollers…then just put on a scarf?? if you’re re-twisting every night, how long does it last until you’ve got to start the whole process again? has it ever lasted a week without looking all crazy?
thanks!

Hi searchingforideas – When I retwist my hair at night, I make bigger twists. If I want the look to stay curly, I will roll the twists on flexi-rods again. I only add more product if I feel my hair needs it. I usually don’t need any more products for at least 2 days. If I don’t want the twists to be curly the next day, I don’t roll them. Then I put on a scarf and I am good to go! I can go a little over a week before I want to wash my hair and retwist it again. I can go for a week wearing different variations of a twist out – pulled back, curly, some pinned up, etc. Give it a try and experiment!
