I always twist my hair when it’s wet and freshly washed. Last Sunday, I decided to twist my hair after it dried overnight. I thought it would be a great idea because my hair would be stretched and my twists would hang longer.

I spent about an hour and fifteen minutes twisting my hair. I attempted to style it after and no style looked good to me. I gave up on styling it and just went to workout.

The next day my twists looked like they were a week old. I realized that my twists last longer and come out better when my hair is wet because each strand just curls right into the twists.

In any case, my scalp was itching like crazy on Monday night so I just untwisted it and washed it. All of the working out I’ve been doing has my scalp in a constant state of being dirty/sweaty.

Here are my dry twists

This is two fishtail braids. Hated it!

A side bun, but I couldn’t manage to get all of the ends tucked in. Hated it!

This is a” fold in half” bun (I just made that up. Lol). I’m on the fence about it.

Ultimately, I accomplished my mission of wearing twists for a full month. I love them!

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.

XOXO,
