Twist Outs

My oldest daughter has so many different hair textures that if she wants to wear her hair down  it isn't as simple as a "Wash & Go". I did some research and YouTube-ing and I found that twist outs were perfect for her hair type.

First you need freshly washed hair and some type of curl sealant (cream, gel or mixture of both). I leave the hair partially damp and I do flat rope twists to get the twist out style I desire.

Then pull each twist over the head to the opposite side and pin it down with a bobby pin. I do this to lengthen the hair. Finally, I place a silk cap over the head before bed. I have always done this as an over night hair style. The next morning I carefully untwist and separate the hair. It's like magic!

What I have done to try and preserve this style for more than 24 hours is to simply re-twist the hair at night using the same pattern already formed and using the silk cap.

Also, pictured below is a Twist Out and end trim done on my younger sister's hair.

Pictured below is my most recent twist out done in December 2014. My eldest daughters hair is so dry, I think next time I will try a pomade when I do her twist out.
