Hello Ladies!Here is my first attempt of a twist out on the diva on wet hair, I have done it before on dry and it came out pretty good. I started with washing and conditioning her hair as normal, then I applied Giovanni Direct Leave In Conditioner and a little Lock and Twist Gel to each twist, I ended up with about 25 twists.Then she put her satin bonnet on for sleep time :)Then the next day I applied a little African Royale Hot six Oil to each twist before I undid themignore that huge part :)I also did an unofficial length checkAlmost APL I can't tell if it has grown from the last length check.I didn't really care for the results, but the diva loved it, I think I am going to band her hair and stretch it for a few hours then re-twist and then take them out in a few hours to see how that looks. Stay Tuned!Enjoy! … [Read more...]
