Fishtail Twists

On Thursday my scalp was itching me so much so I randomly washed my hair. The plan was to untwist it on Friday for a twist out style, but I just couldn’t make it. I’ve been working out a lot, so my scalp can’t take all of the built up sweat.

I was contemplating whether or not I should retwist it because it was Thursday and I was tired, but I decided to just do it anyway and stick to my plan.

Here is my fourth week of twists. It’s a fishtail braid pinned into a swirl. I’m pretty sure it won’t make it through the entire week, so I’ll probably wash and retwist it midweek. I’m just glad I’ve stuck to my goal of having twists for an entire month. I love them so much, I may go longer than a month.

Swirl it up!

As the week moves on, I always feel compelled to pin my twists up. This week, I did a big flat twist on the side and pinned the end up in a swirl. I like how it came out. The front is a little messy looking (to me) because of my curly hairline, but I’m just embracing it and moving on.

I’m mainly glad I haven’t used gel in my hair in almost 3 weeks. My hairline still isn’t great, but it’s improving. I can’t believe I’ve even kept my hair in twists for 3 weeks (not continuously). I am getting the itch to straighten it though.

People have complemented me on my hair and I feel weird accepting the complement because I think it looks a bit messy, but ah well. Thanks! LOL.
