The way the hair becomes tangled is when the sections aren’t even and random pieces of hair are added in and become twisted into other random pieces of hair anywhere along the twist. Keeping both sections at equal lengths will ensure that as you twist down you will only be twisting two sections of hair.If the two sections are not the same length keep dividing and/ or adding hair until they are. Divide the section you are going to twist into two equal parts making sure they are the same length. Now, here is the important part if you want an easy take down later. Section the hair using your fingers, rat tail comb or whatever tool you prefer.If you plan to do a twist out you should also start with damp moisturized hair for the best definition. I prefer doing mine on slightly damp, moisturized hair. Two strand twists can be done on wet or dry hair. As always start with moisturized hair.The styling credit goes to my daughter, Tristan, and the technique for successful take down goes to the great natural hair community on You Tube. I can’t take the credit for either of these tips. You will not believe how simple it is to do both. However, I have since found the secret not only to fat plump twists, but also to taking them out quickly and painlessly. I also hated the difficulty in taking them out after my super kinks decided to wed themselves until death or deep conditioner. But as much as I love them, I also hated that I could never seem to get the big juicy sausage like twists I’ve seen on other naturals. This easy to do low manipulation style is where I always seem to run back to whether it be from a bout of styling laziness or to give my hair a rest from over styling and neglect.
Every bit helps when you try and extend those styles out as long as possible.There is no doubt in my kinky head that two strand twists are the greatest creation since bobby pins and ouchless elastics. On an extra windy day or during a storm, we recommend grabbing a stylish scarf or bandana and protecting those twists from the elements.Catch unraveling twists early and lock them back in with a simple dab of hair glue( no gorilla glue, please).This will save you a lot of dry time as twisted locs trap moisture and keep damp hair. When you shower, put that hair into a bun and cover it with a shower cap. You don’t need to clean your hair every wash day.
Friction is not your friend no matter what hair type watch out for abrasions.
