These are instructions to one of my wet twist outs.
Duration:Depends on your length and texture (detangling,thickness,texture). I would say about 3 hours not including drying.
How long will it last: I've stretched a twist out, out for 2wks, but I added Shea butter. At least a week if you remember to re twist.
Who can do this: relaxed, natural, & dogs Jk (you better not try that on an animal 👎).
With a wet twist out you are going to have shrinkage, but more length verses a wash and go. Also, you curls,coils, etc will be more defined and result in more of a wave or crinkle depending on your natural hair texture and twist size.
My hair is: cotton soft (softer in the back) I do not really go by "hair type,"but if it helps someone I would be a mix of 4a or B, my hair is a few inches above my bra buckle when pulled straight so depending on your length, your hair in a twist out may look different.
1.) wash or co wash (your choice).
2.) Sometimes I was my hair in twist to keep more tangles at bay.Your choice.
3.) I take my detangler leave in and what ever product I want to use that day (in this case it's baby butter creme). Honestly, you can try a product of your choice as long as its thick enough to coat the hair and add moisture.
4.) add detangler, detangle, add product.
5.) Twist...the only part of my hair I part is the front depending on if I want a part of my hair to be on one side.
6.)Allow to FULLY air dry...towels are not your friend unless you want to look like a Pokemon Character. At the dollar store you can find a microfiber head wrap I use that to help dry my hair. You can use a diffuser, but I like the softness air drying leaves in the hair.
7.) I like to untwist starting from the back and style the front last. I some times use a oil to take down with to add shine.
Lastly: After the hair is all un twisted I pull twist apart. *The more pieces you pull apart the risk you take on adding fizz. I pull enough to achieve the look I want and fluff (big hair fan).
At night re twist your hair.
I hope this helps someone. Questions feel free to post on the blog.
