On a lonely Friday night (loser status), I began the process of washing, deep conditioning and twisting my hair:
Mini Twist Regimen:
- I washed my hair in four sections, using the As I Am Cleansing Pudding.
- I followed up with a much needed deep conditioner (As I Am Hydration Elation). I left it in for about an hour and sat underneath my Huetiful Hair Steamer. (FYI, this leaves my hair feeling LUSH!!!)
- I left my hair in the four sections and began to moisturize each section with the As I Am Leave In Conditioner, followed the As I Am Moisture Milk. I put my hair in chunky twists after moisturizing.
- I started with one section in the back and began to twist away adding a little bit of my homemade mango shea whipped butter (This is a great sealant and its made to order. To try my recipe, email hairistand@gmail.com).
To do my entire head, it took me about 3 1/2 hours.
After a couple of days, I noticed that my hair was going into frizz overdrive, so I redid the front. This time I added a little bit of EcoStyler Gel for a slight hold. I wanted to give my hair more volume, so I decided to try adding flexi rods. I saw Naptural85 do it and I loved it. Check her out, she's definitely a hair crush!
So I'm 1 week down and I have three weeks to go....Wish Me Luck! Stay tuned for my Mini Twist Style Pictorials.
