would you say that you've retained more length? One of my reasons for starting this is because I want to see just how long my hair can really grow lol. It's never been as long as it is now (a little past clavicle). Even my mother is amazed lol but its only grown this long since I removed her from my hair care LOL. So far I've just been keeping my hands, and combs out of it as much as possible (wigs are life). Being that the most I ever manipulate my hair is on wash days (once a month) I think this will take out some of the trauma and damage I do to my hair = more length retention??

I love this method as well, been doing it for a year or so now just because it saves me so much time and I only have to detangle 1 time vs the 3 times I would find myself detangling in my older regimen, taking hours. And has significantly reduced breakage due to keeping it in twists longer and definitely allows my hair to grow faster with less manipulation.

HerMajestyBarebone At least now we both know what not to do so that our hair can thrive. I'm almost 4 years natural and I should of been at my goal but because of me sometimes letting my hair shrink up and constantly wearing my hair out in the beginning of my journey, it had led me to have major set backs. Now I let my hair stretch before doing anything and I do low manipulation styles for the week. Hopefully I can get to my goal by the end of the year.
@Blissty47 жыл бұрын
I also do my wash day routine in twists. Not only is it less time consuming and super effective but it also manage to limit hair shedding, knots and tangles, not to mention reduce excessive manipulation during wash day. I just prepoo with oils before washing with shampoo. If i don't have time to re do the twists the same day, i just put them up with bobby pins and put a wig on. I am even able to put a wig on the plastic shower cap covering my conditionned hair before i get to rinsing them out. So i am even able to go outside in between the different processes. Between shampoos, i do the same process with cleansing conditionners.

@ChocoChanDaysu7 жыл бұрын
Do you detangle and get rid of shed hairs before washing? My biggest issue is that I get single strand knots from shed hair that gets trapped in the twist. I can't imagine what would happen if a month of shed hairs weren't taken out before washing. Also do you not get build up when using conditioners with silicones (the Ogx and Aussie)? Silicones keep my 4c hair smoother but I have fine strands so I get build up. Should I dilute the conditioner maybe?
@EfficientlyNatural7 жыл бұрын
+Choco Tea, nope I don't detangle immediately before washing in the twists...BUT I do detangle throughout the month when I redo the twists. So that gives me a chance to get rid of some shed hairs before wash day. I totally get what you mean about the knots from the trapped shed hairs- I get them too! No, I don't really struggle with build up. My strands are not particularly fine.

+brookes641, I do get a lot of shrinkage actually. I prevent it by keeping my hair in Bantu knots throughout most of the wash process and while drying. The twists also help with the shrinkage.

Aside from the front on one side with questionable heat damage, my hair shrinks up a bit more because I didn't keep it in Bantu knots and my twists were looser.

I tried this, and it did save me some washing time... but when I went to redo the twist, I found my roots were kind of tangled with each other. Like if I tugged on one twist, one or two other would come along with it. Idk if its because I didn't braid my roots down, or what. But the time I saved washing, was spent trying to unlock the roots of the twist from each other, and then retwisting. When redoing the twist I made them smaller, so that I could twist my roots in tighter, and I also tried to make sure I wasn't pulling stray strands from separated hair. I hope it works better this time. lol we'll see in a month
@EfficientlyNatural7 жыл бұрын
+BeautiFuFu, yup matted roots are definitely a possibility. For me it helps to detangle regularly when I redo the twists prior to wash day to remove shed hairs and limit matting/tangling. As far as twists being stuck together, making clean parts to start with helps. When I redo the twists after washing I also make sure to carefully take down any twists that are stuck together at the same time in order to separate them gently.
