After Nearly 6 Weeks...The Twists Are Gone!!
12:21 PM
Hooray Hooray!! The twists are out!!! I began the dreaded take down process late Tuesday night and finally finished up around 10pm. last night. That may seem like a long time to you, but it certainly didn't feel that way to me. Based on appearance I could have kept them in longer, but even a "protective" can be damaging when worn for too long. As you know, I don't wash my twists...at all. Spritzing it here and there with water, but that can't replace a good thorough wash. My scalp was desperate to be cleaned after almost 6 weeks of wearing twists.
Last night after snapping the pics below I washed my hair in 4 sections with Elucence MB Shampoo and saturated it with Bee Mine Deep Conditioner. I actually still have the deep conditioner in under a plastic cap as I type lol! Once I rinse it out I'll probably set it in braids for a braidout...I don't think I really have the patience to do any other style.
Also I know I kinda hinted that I'd do a take down video, but I didn't...sorry :( I was on a roll getting those twists out and recording a video would have only slowed me down. However, I recorded a tutorial back in January 2010 and I haven't changed my method at all. You can view that video >HERE<.
...feels so good to have my hair loose again!!
15 People Obsessing!
Your hair looks beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely! I wish I could go that long with twist, but I work out too much and the sweat tends to get in the way of it looking nice after about a week or two.
ReplyDeleteLovely! I have seen on your youtube channel you used to do minibraids, is there a reason you stopped? I am going on a cruise next month and don't want to have to avoid water/washing, so I was thinking of doing those. Are there any draw backs? Any other water-friendly protective styles you would suggest? my hair is fairly long (BSL stretched)
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling of freedom after the last braid or twist has come down. Kudos to you for having the patience. I hate putting twists in, but being able to be carefree for 5 weeks (for me) is the pay-off. Love your blog, your channel and your hair :)
ReplyDelete@Tarra I love mini braids, but I prefer look the look of mini twists. However, I think braids last longer and you can wash them co-wash and get them wet without them unraveling all at once or them get crazy tangled. For your vacay I would definitely recommend mini braids!
ReplyDelete@Ash-Lilyy lol! I was so hype when that last twist came out and I wash able to wash my hair...it felt amazing :)
Your hair looks great! What's even better is that you look so happy to have had your micro twists in for so long, but happier to finally have them out, :). You've been such an inspiration to me, as I've had my mini twists in for what will be 4 weeks on the 17th. Keep doing what you're doing, Mrs. KKQ!

Wow Six weeks that is awesome! I just made it to 3 weeks and was so excited that I made it that long. My scalp was itching too! But I wanted to make it atleast 4 weeks. You seem to get a lot of retention from doing these so often.
