faithVA is it okay if i join??
I've been putting my hair in 12 twists and bunning for 3-4 days before washing and re-twisting since June. Today I decided to do 48 twists instead of 12 because I was inspired by this thread. It took me less than 2 hours to rince my DC, detangle, break my hair down into 8 twists, and then turn each twist into 6 twists. I definitely could use some work on my technique, but hopefully they'll get better with time.
I plan to mostly bun my twists, but I did buy a cute silk lined beanie from etsy and I want to wear my twists down when I wear the hat.
I do have a question for the long-haired ladies that are twisting on a regular basis. How many twists are you doing? I'll be 3 years post relaxer (I BC'd last March) in 2 days and the back layers of my hair are grazing waist length. Since I'm relatively new to twisting it seems like it takes foreverrrr to get to the bottom of a twist, and my twists are relatively large. I can see myself re-twisting once a week until March or so, but next winter I might need a new plan...
Thanks for reading!
This is awesome. It takes me like 2 hours to JUST (without accounting for wash/dc/etc/) do 20 twists and I'm at BSL.
