My Mini-Twists and (mini) Length Update

They look great! I just put some mini twists in my hair.....wish I had seen your reggie beforehand about light pooing at the 2 week mark- that's a great tip!

I didn't stretch my hair to put mine in since I work out frquently and my hair shrinks so easily. Do you recommend blowdrying out the hair and keeping it stretched while wearing them?
 
Gorgeous! I just put some in my hair as well! I love this style. I just have to make sure I'm patient when I take them down.
 
Beautiful hair!! you did a great job. :-) How do you maintain them at night?

I put the twists in one big pony twist and secure the end with an ouchless hair elastic. I use a satin scarf to tie the hair down. I then cover the hair with a satin bonnet to cover the pony that is too long to be covered fully by the scarf.

i do recommend blowing out the hair when they are this small to limit matting and it makes the twisting process go by more quickly. when my hair was about neck length i usually just did them on stretched hair i wore in a puff for about two days. now, it's just easier to blow it out.

KinkyKurlyQueen, who to me takes mini twists to a whole other level, doesn't wash her twist for the entire month she keeps them in. If my scalp didn't give me problems i'd do the same thing but i think i'd be miserable.

Also, innovativethinkin discussed that her twists started to loc when she did them on hair that wasn't blow dried.:blush: she got them out fine but it just took longer.
 
I love them!! i did mini twists on my hair last week and it took me 8 hrs but i dont have nearly as much hair as u do so i can only imagine! have u ever washed them? i did once and a week later they atarted to lock at the roots on me! omg! wont be doing that again.
 
Wow! Your twists look really good!!! I'm jelly, I WISH my two-strand twists looked like that.

Oh, and the growth is a plus, too!!!
 
UPDATE

I kept my twists in for 4 weeks. sorry i forgot to take pics (but for some reason i remember to make a video :rolleyes: i gotta do better.)

here's how my twists looked after 25 days. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgmWb4fM0Tw

I wore them for a day longer then rocked a twist out for 2 days.


Reggie:
I didn't wash the hair. I give the credit to bee mine growth serum b/c usually my scalp is screaming for water after 14 days. i used qhemet heavy cream on the ends.

eta: my detangle reggie

after untwisting i separate the hair in 4 sections. i coat each section with safflower oil (any oil should work), spritz with water, then coat with aussie moist. i sit under a cap for 30 minutes.

i then detange each section BEFORE going into the shower. this took me about 30 minutes and the hair loss was surprisingly little. i used the tangle teezer but i now see that it is being questioned. for me it worked like a charm.

in the shower i wash each section separately using a shampoo bar to really get my scalp clean. i rinse the hair with diluted ACV and voila! the hair is soft, detangled and clean.
