Is it just me or has anyone noticed more breakage with....

[ecadnacmc]

Braid/twist out vs. WNG? I tried both Braid outs & twist outs & suffered from tangles, SSK's, & breakage. So far with WNG'S I haven't had any problems. Do you guys thinks it depends on hair type or products used or a combination of factors?

i LOVE my twistouts....the ONLY time i experienced excessive tangles and breakage was when i needed a trim.....after i got my hair trimmed i had no issues whatsoever!!!

Do you stretch your hair first or do you do them on wet hair?

i never do them on wet hair....i typically towel dry for about an hour and then twist them up....or if i wanna go for a longer look i will blow dry my hair straight and then twist or flat twist....

Do you have to redo nightly? I was doing modified pineapple with ok results, but terrible tangles @ wash time.

Nope. I wear twistouts daily. Minimal breakage.

What am I doing wrong then? Could it be product choice or is it hand in hair disease?

could be HIH and if your hair is feeling dry, the ends will be even dryer and WILL tangle and break.

wash and goes, esp if you're doing them every couple of days keeps your moist. if you're doing braids or twists you must be diligent in oiling your ends or using some sort of spritz to keep your hair and ends moisturized.

Do all of that. Feels like I just get product buildup

the pineapple has never worked for me....i just oil my hair and put big twists in before i go to bed....

With big twist it stretches out all of my definition. I do 2 ponytail pineapples & I still will get 2-3 day hair.

Could be HIH disease. I use Qhemets to twist. And I detangle gently with my fingers and I only detangle with a comb on wash day.

when I do the pineapple method it stretches out the roots and the twistout looks old to me. And scraggly. Maybe I'm not doing it right.

i'm confused here....are you trying to get breakage help? or styling help? it;s starting to be a guessing game in here....

bottom line is if you're getting breakage you have to assess it....you either need moisture or protein....

Maybe it's the product I'm using for styling. They either feel too heavy our too light. I want to try Qhemets but I've been on a PJ binge.

Trying to get breakage help, but thought perhaps breakage is due to my styling methods.

Hair feels fine in other styles, ie bunning, WNG, twists. Just seem to tangle & ssk with braid/twist out.

Well, if WnGs are working for you, stick with them! They may not work as well once your hair gets longer. WnGs are a tangling nightmare for me.

Wash n go's work better for me, because I use gel to style my hair. The gel helps to elongate and clump the curls on my ends which in essence seals them. This works better for me than say the oil or butter that might be used for twist/ braid outs to stretch hair.

Oils and butters are not effective sealants for me, so using them without a gel on top would lead me to have more ssk and breakage.

Thanks! That makes sense because that's what I do, gel for WNG, butters for braid/twist outs? Can u use gel for braid/twist outs?

Yes you can. I don't typically bother because I'm style lazy and a wash n go is just easier.
