I am a 4a/? natural with NL hair. I usually wear my hair in small two strand twists or finger coils. Not matter what I do my hair seems to unravel about 1/2" to 1" at the root within 24 to 48 hours. I try to grab it very close to the root and start the twists. I am pleased with it for the 1st 24 hours.
I use HydraThermals line as my wash/condition/moisturize regimen. I always wear a satin bonnet.
This is what I have tried.
I have done it on wet hair and dry hair.
I have tried moisturizing and not moisturizing days after styling.
I have twisted with: EcoStyler Gel, CD Loc Butter, Shea Whip, Castor Oil, Straightening Pudding, Root Stimulator Loc Gel and some other stuff
A stylist did comb coils when my hair was very short. That did stay for several weeks with no issue. I am sure she used the brown protek gel.
I know I have seen pictures of others with twists that look great after a week. My twists look 2 weeks old after 3 days.
I will probably be in this style for a while. Any suggestions would be appreciated. TIA
