Ok ladies, I've asked this question before, but this time I'm begging because I really want to know.
The best low mani hairstyle (next to the bun) for my post 7 wks + post hair are twist or braid outs.
Problem, if I don't wash it out by day 2, day 3 I have knots towards or on the ends. Not every curl but enough.
Ok, let me tell you what I do.
- Day 1, take down the twists with grapeseed or liquid shea butter on my fingers. I unravel each twist from the bottom up.
At night I put on a bonnet and go to bed.
- Day 2, same oils on my fingers/hands now to freshen it up, I'm kind of finger combing the twists to add life and volume.
At night I put on a bonnet, may or may not add more oil (mostly not) and go to bed.
- Day 3, same oils and I try to finger comb and detect knots. I know I have shed hairs in the madness and that's catching on my hair, but.....
There is generally no day 3 because I actually detect a few knots day 2, but what am I doing wrong ladies?
Help, what is the secret to your successful - knot free - twist/braid outs? :scratchch I can't imagine this would be considerd a good protective style if other folks where catching knots and tangles like me erplexed
