100% Twisted Challenge!

This will be a personal challenge of mine (but all are welcome :)) I have decided after retwisting my hair today, that I am gonna try a low manipulations routine. I’m sure I can find a way to wash my hair while twisted and hopefully not experience too much tangling. Heres my plan:

-Keep hair in two strand twist for 1 month at a time. I will retwist on the same hair every 2 weeks or as needed.
-I plan on washing my hair while twisted. I will braid it in sections and just lightly massage my scalp, I will leave the braids in until my hair dries and retwist/detangle after a couple days of moisturizing
-I will be moisturizing my hair daily or as needed with African Best Herbal Oil and Cantu Shea butter. I recently did this on two week old twist and it worked wonders~
-finally, i will try to keep my hair pinned up. I style my twist just about everyday. SMH,mainly because I like to play in my hair lol


I thought of this challenge after retwisting 2 week old twist. The day before I retwisted I moistened my hair with a conditioner/oil/water mix, added some shea butter and a little more oil and then started retwisting. My hair was so soft and virtually tangle free! I retwisted my whole head over two days, just doing small sections when I felt like it lol. I have been thinking a lot of “keeping it simple” , going back to basics and about people with locs. The folks with locs have such amazing growth because they arent fussing with their hair every week. (i guess :)) I also have been thinking to the good old days when, my mom did my hair as a kid. It was usaully washed/braided every two weeks or so, and my hair was heading down my back (until I begged her for a perm smh) Anyways, I am convinced that if i just leave my hair alone for a few months, I will see some growth :)

I hope that I can retain some length and actually see some growth from this. I am aiming to keep this routine up until March! Wish me luck and/or join me if you like!

Heres a pic of my retwisted hair! My hair hasnt been washed in 2 weeks now, but its not dirty. it soft, moisturized, and smells good!
