Wash day- Refreshing my 1.5 month old Twists

Hey everyone! Long time no see. Today, I take you guys through my wash day process. I did these extensions twist about a month and a half ago, and washed them 3 weeks ago; Safe to say they are due for another wash!

I am definitely planning on spending the summer with this hair and will be redoing the front next weekend!

Step 1- Wash and Condition: I soaked the entire thing in lukewarm water then shampooed twice focusing on my scalp. Then I worked the conditioner through the length of my hair and a bit of my scalp, left it there for 5 minutes and rinsed it.

Step 2- Styling: After washing, I towel dried my hair to absorb the excess water then I sprayed some of my leave-in conditioner until satisfaction. I then separated my hair into four sections to Conrow, leaving my two twists at the front. I retwisted my front twists and lined my cornrows (and edges) with some jam to keep the hair in place. Finally, I applied some mousse, wrapped my hair with a scarf, and blow dried it to help set the products.

This is usually what I do even when my hair is out, throughout the years I was able to simplify my wash day and make it less stressful for me!

Hope you guys enjoyed, let me know if you have any questions!

... Read moreMaintaining healthy twists is crucial, especially after wearing them for several weeks. Regular washing, conditioning, and moisturizing can prevent breakage and dryness, ensuring your hair stays vibrant and manageable. For those with similar hair types, using a mild, sulfate-free shampoo like Aussie Miracle Moist can help cleanse without stripping hair of its natural oils. Consider integrating leave-in conditioners, such as African Pride's Olive Miracle Anti-Breakage Spray, to provide hydration and protection against daily wear. Moreover, styling your twists can be a creative outlet. Techniques like twisting and adding edges control products like Shine n' Jam can enhance the overall look and hold. Incorporating mousse, particularly Not Your Mother’s Curl Talk Foam, can elevate your twist game, providing definition and bounce. It's also essential to listen to your hair’s needs. Evaluate how often you wash versus style your twists; too much manipulation can lead to frizz and potential damage. By planning your hair care routine around your lifestyle, you ensure that refreshing your twists becomes a stress-free part of your regimen. Happy styling!
