Hello ladies...I am current two strand twister on wet hair, but was thinking about it on dry hair...has anyone done this...and if so what were you result...and what do you prefer.....
 
That is the reason why I want to try it on dry hair. When I do it on wet my hair looks really short, however when I put it in a bun, It starts to show its true length. Did you have a hard time with the end staying together?
 
No, not really. If you do have a hard time, keep a cup of water nearby while you are twisting, and dip your fingers in it to finish the end of the twist... ;)
 
I did some on blow-dried hair the day before yesterday and I prefer it this way. I lose more hair and it hurts my scalp on wet or air-dried hair.
 
Depends on what I'm going for, it I want my twists to hang a little more, I do them on DRY hair, but if I don't mind the shrinkage, I do them on WET hair.
 
Sochol did your twist look thick with the blow dryer effect? I think am going to try this tomorrow and post my comparison pics. Hey does any know where I can find how to post pics in the thread? :drunk:
 
After washing, conditioning and moisturizing I put my hair in braids and let it dry then twist with a little flax seed gel and black castor on the ends.
 
I do it on dry hair. Wash, condition, add leave ins then I put my hair in big braids and let it dry, sometimes add a blast of the hair dryer to speed things up. They hang better this way and it's easier to work through my hair because the braids have stretched my hair so I do them faster.
 
I have always done my twists on dry hair mainly to show length. I don't have a problem with my ends I use long aid curl activator gel for those.
 
So I did my two strand twist on Dry hair (After DC I sealed with coconut oil, mango butter, ORS olive oil moist. and blow dryed). This process was so much easier! I had much less hair shedding! My hair feels great! The only thing I don't like would be my ends (Which is my fault for tryin to dye my hair 1 year ago) which shows off how badly they need to be trimed :ohwell:. So here are the comparison pics...Tell me what you think! Another thing I noticed was my twist are much thinner, next time I will make bigger parts or not blow dry so straight! Thank you so much ladies!

Your twists look great dry or wet! You still have A LOT of length when your twists are done on wet hair. If I do my twists on wet hair, they would be above my ears because I have more shrinkage and my hair is more tightly coiled/kinkier.
 
i like to do mine on damp hair because the end up looking thicker. they do end up being shorter but not by that much
 
I can do on both. It's a bit easier for me to do on wet hair because it's easier to separate my hair and overall manipulate it when it's wet or damp. You also get the best definition for twist outs from wet twists. They also tend to look plumper. Dry hair ones show more length, though, so that is nice.
 
I like to do them on mostly dry hair. I usually wash it that morning, apply a moisturizing leave in, let it air dry , and then twist it. I put melted shea butter on each one followed by my daily spritz (aloe vera gel, etc).

The dry hair ones show less shrinkage and they just tend to look better on me. Also the twist out turns out better.

I always do them on dry and then immediately dunk them in water (usually an ACV/EO solutions) so they have weight--they're heavier when shrunken--and also so they can drip dry and thus hang down straight (I don't like them being wavy or curling every which way). Dunking in water also helps the ends form spirals that sort curl around each other and stop the twist unraveling.

Co-sign. Also, if they look short, once I pull them back into a ponytail the length shows.
 
I prefer my twist on damp vs dry hair. Although dry shows more length, it seems to look frizzy faster and doesn't last as long. I can keep my damp twist in for about 7 days vs 3-4 for my dry twist.
 
Your hair is so gorgeous

To be honest, I like the wet hair best. I think they hang really nice and they look "plumper" JMHO, but you do have lovely hair either way you choose to twist.
 
I voted for doing them on wet hair, but realistically, by the time I'm done (takes me about 20 hours), I'm doing them on dry hair. But, I slather on a leave-in conditioner + oil mix, so it's gonna be wet either way. To get length, I pull it all back into a bun, braid the twists together, or some other form of hair stretching.
