Swimming and Natural Hair

So this twist out is the result of the two strand twist in the post below. I rocked the two strand twist in various styles for a week, which included going swimming twice this week. each time I went swimming I rinsed my hair out with a mixture of olive oil and VO5's Kiwi clarifying conditioner. On Thursday I unraveled the twist and this is what I got...not bad and my hair felt nice and moisturised.
Notice how my ends arent frizzy...I'm really happy with the results.

Something New....

I think I'm going to try something a little different..at least for the next 2 months. I'm going to try and keep my hair in protected style during the week, and set if free on the weekend. Plus I'm adding swimming to my exercise routine 2 times a week and we know that chlorine can kill a FRO! this is how I'm currently rock'in my hair...two stand twist rolled around my head..lol You get the idea ;)

Winter Hair Challenge...the Final Streach

The take down is complete! I just twisted my own hair and will rock it like this for most of the month of April...come May I will be busting this FRO OUT!! For the record my hair feels GREAT! There are no fairy knots/single strands knots on the ends of my hair and it is thick from root to tip. I'll do my final length check complete with a full winter hair care challenge roundup the next time I wash but so far it looks like I gained about 1 and 1/2 inches of growth of the winter. FYI, I actually did a light trim in late January in between protective styles. Overall I have to say I'm pleased!

A Few Moore Shots of My Two-Strand Twist

Rockin a Two-Strand Twist

Here is a video of my two-strand twist. i will post a picture below of twist I had in my hair about a year ago so you can see the growth.



I know I look a hot MESS in this picture by the way...but lets remember it's about the HAIR...lol

Spring Approaches...Summer Hair

My hair has been in two-strand twist all week. I have decided that for the remainder of winter I will keep my hair is twist and only take them out on weekends if need be. For example, next week Friday and Saturday I will be going out with friends, so my plans is to take my twist out on either Thursday night or Friday morning and rock a twist out until Sunday when I will likely co-wash followed with a steam deep conditioning treatment and twist my hair back up. If I ain't going no place special (and work ain't special) my hair will be in two-strand twist for the next few months. Maybe I will even give flat twist a try. It wont be pretty but my hair will thank me when the warm weather breaks and the sun comes out and my Fro is basking in its luxurious rays...lol

Twist Out Trial & Error

So i put these very small two strand twist in my hair on Friday night and I plan on leaving them in until Wednesday and then taking them out and seeing what kind of twist out i get. In the past I simply twist my hair in larger twist and then take them down the next day and rock the style. I've been looking on youtube and everyone says that a twist out looks best if the twist have been left in for at least 4 days and that you should make them small because as we all know, our hair swells. Ill keep u posted on the results. By the way I know I look at hot funky fried chicken mess in the picture..lol
