Two strand twists on natural hair...questions...

[Suerte]

How much do they cost in your area... and how long do they usually last?

I'm doing a month long bootcamp workout thing. I plan on rinsing daily and shampooing weekly (only putting poo right at the scalp).

How long do you think they will last?

Thanks in advance!

Well, they're free where I live coz I do them myself. And when you wash them, some unravel and need to be retwisted. So you would do well to learn how to twist so you can touch up any that unravel. A few washes do make them messy, but if you're using a squeezing motion to wash them, they may look good for quite a while. I imagine if you're washing once a week and can retwist any that come out, and if you tie them up at night, they might last you two weeks? I'm only guessing as I washed mine more frequently touching them up as needed so I really couldn't say how long they would've lasted had I not been touching them up. If they get really bad, you can do a twist-out and wear that for a few days.

My roommate paid $60 for hers. I know at the african shop I was going to, they were $60 as well. I would think they last about a month. I read on another board that if you wash with a stocking cap it helps.

Yeah, I do mine, my husbands, my daughter's if she lets me and will soon include my son once he gets enough hair.
