What did I do with my hair?

How did I have my hair for my vacation? Glad you asked!

I decided to go with two strand twists. I figured it is a cute style for my actual birthday and it can also withstand the island humidity and water if i decided to get my hair wet.

I twisted them the night before I left. It took me 3.5 hours, but I was very pleased with how they came out.

When I tell you that I did absolutely nothing with my hair while on vacation, believe me when I say… nothing! The most I did was add some Taliah Waajid – Curly Curl Cream and pin up the front one day.

I swam with the dolphins and my hair did get a little wet in the back. My hair seemed to shrink and get shorter and shorter each day. When I returned home, I put the mini twists in four big twists to stretch it. I even did a french braid on it to go to the gym.

I’ll wash and pamper my hair this evening or tomorrow.

I wrote a post about my vacation hair, but this is far more exciting, so that will have to wait.

Last night I untwisted my hair and decided to try the Naptural85 wash and go method. One of you lovely ladies told me about it when I first cut my hair, but I never actually tried it.

I went through the whole process yesterday (check out the video) and today I untwisted. This was also the first time I washed my hair in twists. I must say that I have mixed feelings about the results. I absolutely LOVE the definition of my curls…

…but the length of my hair just isn’t enough for me to fully like a wash and go on myself… as I expected.

But I worked it out. I whipped out the banana clip and made it happen. I like the way my hair feels, but the next time, I’ll apply a little oil before I leave it to air dry rather than after. She doesn’t use any product at all.

This method will DEFINITELY be in the arsenal for when my hair is long!

Thanks Naptural85!
