Healthy Hair: Twist Out on 3-day Old Hair

I swear the thought of twisting my hair at night annoys the living light out of me! LOL, I can't be the only natural who rolls eyes every time it's time to tackle their mane. I love my hair but sometimes, I am NOT in the mood and that is why protective styling is usually my best friend. I will have my Heat Free for Koils hair installed this weekend and I cannot wait for another 3 months of freedom!

Last night I had no choice though, retwisting before bed was a must! The frizzies were emerging and my strands were a bit dry. Luckily, my bush had been good to me for 2 whole days without being retwisted so I had to show it some TLC. Plus, I have a photoshoot today and cannot have my hair looking a hot mess! 



All I did was put about 8 flat twists in and seal the ends with Ouidad's Whipped Curls Daily Conditioner, which I love. Then I rodded the twists, threw my bonnet on and called it a night. My shrinkage is super real though and my hair is expanding as I type this--no big deal, that's the #naturalhairlife for ya! I guess this style is something like an updo? It's clipped up in the back with Sunci Wingless Hair Clips---these clips are amazing!

Over all, I am having a pretty decent hair day. Let's see how much my hair will shrink up by the end of the day though... 

How are you wearing your hair?

xo,
Alex

I clipped my hair at the back like that too for a "cropped" look. Also because the hair on my nape is more stretched than the others.

This look is SUPER cute on you, but I definitely feel you on loathing pulling out the spritz bottle every evening before bed. I'm getting my heat free hair soon, too. My first batch, I'm excited!

Question, we briefly met at Broccoli City. Your hair was really long was that a protective style? or did you cut it? If it was a protective style, what did you do? I really like it and wanted something like that for the summer. I've been thinking of another style for the summer to get that same effect.
