Hey Guys, as you can see in my last post I have been mini twisting my hair. This is the second time I have mini twisted CT (read this post to meet CT) and it has gone much smoother than the first time. I am still working on stretching the length of time between wash days which is 7 days MAX!
So having braids in with. a maximum of 7 days between wash days is challenging. Luckily YouTube has great people like Naptural85 to show how to mini twists and others like luvbeinnatural that show how to refresh them...a special shoutout to YouTubers who pass on great knowledge, Thank you!!
So here is what I did differently:
1. I pre-pooed before twisting last time with condish, this time with oil only and sealed in moisture after washing and conditioning
2. I twisted on semi dry hair with NO PRODUCT this time...last time I used product which made it harder to grip and easier to slide my hands down the twist prematurely.
3. I oiled my scalp every couple of days and some days didn't put water on my hair last time...this time I spray water nightly and oil sporadically every night concentrating on different areas.
4. I followed Naptural85's advice for washing my mini twists and maintaining them at night (although I did need to scrub so I started off using her technique then finished using my own which really helped.)
5. I styled using luvbeinnatural's technique or bantu knotting to make really curly
6. Lastly I added more accessories to have fun
I hope my failures, challenges and even triumphs help you on your journey!
Peace!
