Twist It Up Twist It Up!

Hey Ladies and Gents! ;-) 

I have received MANY questions about twists on relaxed or transitioning hair. 

So, I decided to do a quick post on it. 

Now you all know that twists were my signature transitioning style. I wore them about 90% of the time to minimize manipulation and keep my hair tangle free. 

On to my tips..

• Start on clean hair 
• If you're transitioning and have a lot of new-growth, they tend to look best on stretched hair. So, air-dry your hair in plaits or twists. 
• For my relaxed heads, it's best to do twists on textured hair. So, air-dry in plaits or twists. This way, the twists will look more full
• Use a thick moisturizer(I used either pure shea-butter or a mix) while twisting. This helps with the unraveling as well. Don't use too much though, you don't want super greasy hair
• Use two equal amounts of hair while twisting. You don't want to borrow hair from one side. That's just asking for tangles when removing them.
• The looser the twist, the fuller your hair looks
• Curl the ends with straws, perm rods, flexi-rods, etc to avoid straight ends
• To care for twists, very little moisturizer is needed on a daily or as needed basis. They tend to hold moisture pretty well. 
• Have fun with them. Experiment with styles and treat them like you're loose hair
