DOUBLE STRAND TWIST

I did double strand twists in my hair using Cantu Leave in conditioner. I had about 10 of them because I was being lazy and didn't want really skinny twists anyways! I wasnt a fan of the result so tonight I am going o do really big twist and do bandu knots with them because I do not want to wash my hair again so soon. Here are the results and also how I made my twists work for me today with a style!
 DOUBLE STRAND TWISTS
 PUT ROLLERS IN TO MAKE THEM CURL

 SO I DID A SIDE UP-DO
 SIDE-VIEW
BACK VIEW! I PUT A FLOWER IN MY HAIR WHERE THE TWISTS STOP BUT I FORGOT TO TAKE A PICTURE WITH IT! SORRY! BUT IT MAKES A GREAT DIFFERENCE!

YOU NEED YOUR OILS (Prepoo)

One thing that our natural hair is soooooooo thirsty for is OIL!!!! Sometimes curly hair can get very dry especially because we often co-wash a lot to keep our hair looking fresh! I have started to give my hair an oil treatment once a week, usually when I do my weekly deep conditioning!!! If you have dry hair, here is something that you can do to moisturize your hair, and you WILL see a difference immediately; you will see more dramatic results to your hair after a few weeks!!!! 

*Section your hair
*Put oil in your hair for each section
*Put your hair in a bun and put a plastic shower cap on; leave on for 20 minutes, more if desired!
*Afterwards, it is good to use a shampoo that has sulfate because it takes away the extra oil that's not needed
*Either deep condition your hair or you can even use hair mayo (hair mayo makes it much softer)
*Rinse out the remainder of oil and deep conditioner or hair mayo
*Put in YOUR favorite leave-in conditioner

ENJOY
