Quick mini twists updated

This was day one of my "wear out challenge":  my hair is in a twist out.  I used my usual hair products of Cantu Shea Moisture Leave in and flax seed gel.  Excuse the house mess, this was during packing time. And is it just me or is God shining love on the wall above me?

Hey there,

So I realized one day that I never gave an update on my mini twists.  I ended up only keeping the twists in for a little over 2 weeks (starting from the time of total twist completion).  I took the twists out mainly because I missed my hair.  My scalp was also getting itchy, I suppose from not washing my hair.  Taking the twists out was super easy and fast!!!!  Overall, I think that the mini twists were good; however, if I do them again (and I probably will) I will change a few things.  First, I would make the twists a bit smaller.  My twists were small, but not tiny.  I think if they were smaller I would have kept them longer and I think I would have liked the look of them better.  Second, I would wash my hair.  Naptural85 doesn't wash her hair while wearing twists, but my scalp was itchy!!  Also, I would probably re-twist the front after about 2 weeks or so.  The twists still looked really good when I took them out, but the front was starting to get a tad frizzy.  Fourth, I would do more styles with the twists.  I think that making them smaller will aid in more styling options too.  

So, after I took the twists out Breana and I went for a walk.  I told her that I took the twists out because I missed my hair, and she so rudely pointed out that I never even where my hair out.  True.  So, I took on a wear hair out challenge for a week (began January 2).  I'll report on how that challenge went later, but I will give a little preview and say that since that day I have worn my hair up once, in two braids 3 days and in twists one day......

Well, that's all for now lovely people
