My New Fab Twistout Routine

By November 19, 2015June 13th, 20164 Week Virtual Accountability Group, Be Fabulous

Can I say “I’m In Love With My Hair These Days” without sounding too bragadocious? Β I have finally found the perfect routine after 3 years of hunting for the right products to style it. Β I am a confessed product junkie due to the fact that I was searching and searching for what would make my hair look like the many hair crushes I had on YouTube and Instagram. Β Well (insert drum roll here) I have FINALLY found the products and I have to thank Design Essentials Naturals line for coming to the rescue and perfecting my coif!

Here is how I created my look.

Step 1. Β I washed my hair with the Almond & Avocado Detangling Shampoo. Β A little goes a long way and I only needed to wash it once. I didn’t want to strip all the oils out of my hair.

Step 2. Β I used the Almond & Avocado Detangling Conditioner Β after rinsing out the shampoo making sure I concentrated on the ends. I also used a very big wide toothed comb to detangle my hair. Β This stuff is so good minimal hair was in the comb and it only took a couple minutes. That is saying a lot because my hair likes to tangle.

Step 3. I rinsed my hair out. Β However, after rinsing I put some of the conditioner back on my ends…..about the size of a quarter.

Step 4. Β I took some of my new favorite oil from One and Only and ran it through my hair. Β Again I concentrate more on the ends because that is where the most damage occurs. Β Plus I wanted to seal my ends with the LOC (liquid, oil, cream) method.

Step 5. I created a part in my hair that went from the middle of one ear over to the other. Β I secured the front half in a hair tie so I could work on the back half.

Step 6. Β I sprayed the back half of my hair with Design Essentials Naturals Twist and Set Setting Lotion. Β I then flat twisted the hair into six big twists that went straight down.

Step 7. Β I sprayed the front half of my hair with the same setting lotion and proceeded to flat twist the front toward my face in six big twists as well. Β I used 6 orange perm rods on the ends to make the front shorter and curlier so it would frame my face. Β This step also keeps the hair out of my eyes due to the length.

 

Step 8. Β Finally, I pinned each front twist down to the scalp with a bobby pin right at the hair line to make sure the twists stayed in place and to stretch my hair while drying. Β I slept with a bonnet on overnight to let my hair air dry. I am not a fan of blow dryers because my scalp is very particular. Β However, if you don’t have that kind of time, you can always sit under a dryer for a couple hours.

Step 9. I removed the rods/pins and proceeded to untwist my hair from the ends up. Β I use my fingers like a comb to shake the roots and fluff my hair. This step makes sure the parts from the twists blend together. Β It also creates a fuller look.

And Viola!!!Β I have beautiful, big curly hair. Β The picture below is Day 2 hair and it just gets bigger each day.

I hope this post will help another Diva achieve her perfect look. Β Try this routine and tell me how it works for you.
