So last night I washed my hair with my LN wash me gently then used the same combo from the past few days. If you haven't been following

Yeah i pulled the label off the bag on put it on my bottle cause sometimes i need to check ingredients and see what's mixing with what (don't judge lol)

So i had the urge to twist my hair and wear a beanie for a few days so that's what I'm doing. I was watching kimmaytube videos a while back and she was using these clips to hold some of her twists at the root and i found some on Amazon. It was funny cause your could tell people were buying them a few years ago.because they were frequently purchased with ph strips.

Anyway they actually helped me lay down those fly away twists and were not bad to sleep in either. 12 come in a bag and I'm sending some to my neice.

Here's them on my hair

So my hair was so easy to twists with this combo and our feels amazing. I should have tried my shape shifter but i just twisted real quick spur of the moment. I don't plan on doing a twist out, just wanted a break.

What's up with you'll.

Those clips look interesting. I have only watched about five of her videos (lol) so I definitely didn't see that one. Do they keep the actual twists down or just the roots?

Both for me but i think that has to do with my length. She was using them for her roots though. But after i ordered I saw some plastic clips at the bss like the ones people use on their dreads but instead of metal they were plastic, i think they would do the same thing.

You are officially my new hair crush amd product pusha! Mostly because your hair length is more attainable from where I'm starting, you look fab with it, and I never thought I could twist/braid my TWA. God I wish u made youtube vids. So how do you make twisting or braiding less tedious? When I would try,I would give up soon after because my fingers were in the way of each other, I felt like I had to do extremely smaller parts, and then they would end up poofy at the roots anyway. Tell me the secret!

Hey B! Thank you and i know what you mean, i basically been looking at old pics of my hair as motivation because I know that I can get to that length. To make it less tedious I just grab random sections and twist while watching a movie. I do the first few twists in the front in the mirror. It usually stays wet to damp while I do it. My roots do end up poofy but i only twisted it to wear under a beanie. What does help me with poofy roots is making sure i put some product on the roots. I used to put it mainly on the length of the hair with no focus on the ends. To be honest i think it's easier for me now because it do it the same way i did when it was longer and ive been pricing for a year and a half now. This is a good twa to video, i dint pick mine out like she does but it would probably stretch it more if i did. I hope this makes sense and feel free to ask anything else

I see now...that rlly puts it into perspective. I'll be sure to watch a movie when I do it so I won't notice how long it's taking and definitely wear a beanie because she didn't care what it looked like.lol

Lol. Right! There are some other vids if ladies that do then neat enough to wear them out. I give it 45mins to an hour that way if it doesnt work I don't feel like I waisted a bunch of time so that's why i can't do super small twists.

See that's what I'm talking about! You just keep the inspiration coming! You better get treated like royalty tonight because that's exactly what you're exuding.
