One week with the twist take two
[SOUND]
All right, so it has been
officially at least a week since I put on this mini twists into my hair,
and I just wanna give you all a quick update on how it's going.
So in the beginning,
there were twists, so the back is mostly
still twisted, stayed twisted because the back of my hair is very
kinky, coily and so putting it in twists,
it's just gonna stay.
It's gonna be like, you want me to do what?
We good, got you boo.
Now the front of my hair or the front of my head rather, it's got
something to say.
So there's a lot of sections in my hair that is more curly rather
than kinky, kinda dips into the 4B,
4A area up here and up top.
So what I found was that some twists did split apart,
but the two
sections that made up that twist stayed together.
Like they naturally liked clumping together.
So I basically said,
okay if you wanna be two separate locks that's
fine, I can work with that.
And so essentially I am kind of letting,
I feel like I am in the stage where I am kind of letting my hair
decide how and where it wants the locks to be based on the sort
of like template I guess,
I gave it with the many twists and that's
really where I am at this week.
My hair is made to lock though,
especially doing it in twists like
this.
The back is, they are not locked per se but I would really have
to do, I'd need to like really work through them to get them to come
apart now a little bit and its only been a week.
Give me another two weeks the back will probably be pretty much
like locked.
I did wash my hair twice this week because I said I'm pretty active,
I play soccer a lot, I run pretty consistently so keeping
So keeping my scalp clean is really important for me and using shampoo
does kind of help with the locking process because it lifts the
cuticles which makes your hair have friction against each other
and allows them to get intertwined that much more and lock a little
faster so.
As long as you are putting that moisture back, put the
moisture back using shampoo can be a way to kind of help, but it's
really your preference. A lot of people don't wanna use
shampoo for a variety of reasons is really just whatever works
for you.
Shampooing is a must I have to though and I use Jason,
there are
two in one treatment shampoo and conditioner.
This stuff gets my scalp clean without drying it out too much,
it's
nice.
I used to use their sofa/g version,
their intense brown version, I'll
link to that video in the i.
I used to use that when I had really bad break out,
I used that
shampoo, but now that I've gotten the dandruff under control and
I feel like
my scalp is back to a good equilibrium,
I just use this to
maintain.
I did dilute it in a applicator bottle,
not because it's strong,
but just so I can make sure it actually got to my scalp.
And it did.
So yeah, that's pretty much where I'm at.
In the comments below,
let me know if you've got any tips for me
moving forward with my locks.
I don't plan on, I guess re-tightening or anything like that for
at least a month, if not maybe two.
But when I do, I will let you all know and show you all how I do
it.
And yeah, I mean I'm,
towards the end of my first lock journey,
I was becoming pretty semi-free form like I was trying to not touch
my hair a lot and I'm kinda jumping into it with that same mentality
now with the second set.
So we'll see how it goes and I'll see you when I see you.
