Two-Strand Flat Twist

The day I  did this it rained and was really humid so the crisp definition only lasted like a day. By the end of the day it was frizzy on the ends. The next day I had to find a way to pin it. The rinse that I applied to my hair the week before flaked some leaving little red crystals as if I had put glitter in my hair.

Two Strand Flat Twist Out on Natural Hair

This past week I wore my wig. So the weekend before I flat twisted my hair to my scalp in rows from front to back. So my hair was done up in flat two strand twists in rows for a full week. My hair had just been washed so it was wet, I parted it in sections using a rat-tailed comb and then I added a bit of Ms. Jessies Curly Meringue (as a moisturizer) and some Eco Styler Gel (for hold). My hair was twisted beneath my wig for a full week. When I came home from work I would pull off my wig and wig cap so that my scalp and hair could breathe.Here are pictures of the products I used and the results.

 

 

I am going to try a flat twist out again this week. There will be some changes: I will use a different moisturizer and of course it will only be twisted down overnight rather than a whole week. I want to be sure that it is the styling method and not so much the product that helped me to achieve this style. This style gets two thumbs up for me!
