If that's all your taking off I wouldn't worry about it too much. It's going to be barely noticeable and in less than a month you will get it all back.

I put in 2 strand twist on Saturday. They were frizzy immediately as if I had them in for two weeks. I don't know what gives. I will try to rinse them tomorrow to see if they hold up. If they do I will start wearing 2 strand twist starting in April.
I'm thinking I should make them smaller.

They look great! I can't see any frizz and they hang well. If mine would hang a bit I would probably wear them too.

Thank you!
The camera lies though. It's crazy frizzy. It's just starting to hang so they are wearable now. I didn't them a couple of months ago and they weren't ready.

Thus morning I rinsed my twist. I put on a wig cap/band and let the water run over my twist. Then I pressed gently to let the water soak in. I then let it drip dry for a bit before soaking up some of the excess drios with a towel. After 15 minutes ibsoaked my twist with diluted a diluted kknt and oil mix. Then i tried to seal them with some oil. My front is almost dry but my name is wet.
I think it looks a mess but it's OK. I'm more concerned with my twist drying soft and maintaining some hydration. They typically dry hard and with with not a but of water left in them.
I'm going to work on my mix some more. I was in a rush this morning. If this works I will try to keep my twist in for two weeks in a row and just rinse every 3 to 4 days.

They look nice and juicy. What did you twist with?

I used the kinky curly gel. I have plenty of gels. I plan to try that one by one to see which on I like better.

No, not planning on retwisting. I just put these in. My twist usually only last 4 to 7 days.

I took my twist out so I could wear my hair loose today. It will also make it faster when I'm ready to wash tonight. Years ago I used to wear twist every week and wear a twist out every Friday. It's been a while since I've done that. Flat twist are just so quick it's hard to make myself spend 2 hours putting in twist for a week.

Thanks ladies.
I love it! Very cute. How much did you separate?

Thank You. The twist were already very small so I only separated them the one time to separate the two sections.

Here is my length check for March. I blow dried my hair. It probably wouldn't have been better to do a curlformer set 
I'm doing a curlformer set in April for another challenge so I will post again. I could see progress so that's good enough. I took quite a few pictures. These will be helpful during the year when I'm trying to figure out if I'm making any progress.

Today I mixed up some henna, using steeped marshmallow root and hibiscus. I only let it sit for about an hour or so.
After clay washing my hair, I added a little indigo and hibiscus powder to the mix and slathered it on using the bun method (starting from the middle).
I'm currently sitting with the mix, wrapped in cling film. I plan to leave in on for about 2hrs and then DC with AO WC and whatever dregs of HSR I have left.

I don't know if a bun is on my milestone list. If it is, it's a 3rd or 4th quarter milestone.
I was excited to be able to bun. Thank you! But as soon as I got it up there I was ready to take it down because it felt like it was pulling and I was just imagining hairs breaking and ripping in half
I would probably only try a bun if my hair was already stretched with curlformers and that's rare. I also need to learn a bit more about smoothing out my hair and putting the bun up so it isn't damaging. So it will be a while before I try bunning again. It was nice for the moment.

Did I join this challenge? I don't think so. But my man requested for me to grow my hair back out! Lol
I have a TWA 3-3.5 inches top recent trim
Sides 1-2 inches
I have no Reggie and just use random products.
I will use heat occasionally to trim or stretch
My goal is SL or NL by Dec 31.

My twists never look like that! I would have to blow dry to get that look! So pretty!
