Twist Out on TWA

FINALLY!..I have enough hair for a hairstyle, you guys dont even know how excited I am:) Before I did my 2nd Big Chop my go to hairstyle was the twist-out. So I couldnt wait to get back to my beloved hairstyle. IMO I think a twist out is doable when you have about 2 and a half inches of hair. When I first big chopped my hair I thought my hair looked good but now that its growing out its in  that weird stage:/ but anyway I think anyone that super low big chopped like me(started with a half inch) that is in the stage im talking about should defiantly try this hairstyle. So I started by co-washing with As I Am Cowash..(Love It!).Its sulfate-free but I do notice that if I over use it ..like 4 or 5 times a week it dries my hair..so I wouldnt recommend it as a every day condtioner if your hair dries out easily. Honestly I dont think you should cowash everyday even if its sulfate free unless your hair is super short like a inch or less. Anywayss.. After I cowashed I deep condtioned with banana(pureed baby food),mashed avacodo , avacodo oil, and honey for about 30 minutes. I washed that out and then lightly patted my hair with a old t-shirt. I leave it wet but not dripping because my hair is easier to work with that way and my hair dries soo fast so I need all the water I can get:)... Then I simply dip my fingers in a little bit of Cantu Shea Butter Coconut Cream or Shea Moisture Curling Smoothie:)(reviews coming soon) and take take pieces of my hair and two stand twist(like a braid but only two strands -very easy-)
I twist my whole head  and I let it sit for atleast a 1 hour( but the longer the better) for the twist out look. And its as simple as that. You will have to play with it and fluff the twists out it so your scalp wont be so visible but you hair will be more defined. The style lasts for atleast two days. In the morning of the second day all I do is turn on my faucet put my fingers under the slim stream of water and lightly pull, fluff and twirl my curls backto life. Also I do not wear anything on my head at night I sleep on a satin pillow case. My hair is also pretty smashed from the pillow but after about 20 min of fluffing my curls are popping again. I dont use any cream in the morning of the second day just water. Pics will be coming soon......
