How I got my best Twist 'n Curl


Started with a day old braid out.  I used this to stretch my hair that I washed the night before.

  • Section hair and put a bobby pin at the base of the hair
  • Spritz hair lightly with water and jojoba mixture
  • Apply my Modified Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie mix. I love this stuff.. makes my hair super soft.
  • Proceed with doing a two strand twists, keep both strands seperate even if one strand appears shorter than the other.
  • Curl the end of the twist with a perm rod
  • Let this set overnight
  • Next morning, remove perm rod, and untwist starting from end to base.
  • Remove bobby pin at the base of the hair
  • Seperate each strand one more time.

How do you achieve your best TnC?

    For me, twist-n-curls were much more of a challenge, so I stuck with braid-n-curls. Though I preferred the curl pattern given by the twist, the braid pattern lasted longer...I needed something that lasted because I'm not a girl that does hair daily. I style at most, twice a week.

      I do agree, I find TnC to be more challenging. My BnC have always come out very predictable.

Does having lots of hair on your arm means long hair on your head?

Image
  No, having a lot of hair on your arms doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll have long hair on your head. Hair growth patterns, thickness, and length on different parts of the body are influenced by factors such as genetics, hormones, and individual biology. For example: • Hair on arms is usually vellus or terminal hair, which grows to a certain length and then stops. • Scalp hair grows continuously in a cycle (anagen, catagen, telogen phases), allowing it to become much longer than body hair. While genetics may influence both arm and scalp hair characteristics, they don’t directly determine the length of one based on the other.

How to know your hair porosity

Image
Hair porosity refers to how well your hair absorbs and retains moisture. There are three main levels of porosity: low, medium, and high . To determine your hair porosity, you can use the following methods: 1. The Float Test • Take a few strands of clean, dry hair (no product or oil on it). • Fill a glass or bowl with room-temperature water. • Drop the hair strands into the water and wait 2–4 minutes. • Low porosity: Hair floats on top, as the cuticles are tightly closed and resist absorbing water. • Medium porosity: Hair slowly sinks to the middle, as it absorbs a balanced amount of water. • High porosity: Hair quickly sinks to the bottom, as it absorbs water easily due to open or damaged cuticles. 2. The Slip Test • Run your fingers up a strand of hair from the tip to the root. • Low porosity: Hair feels smooth, indicating tightly closed cuticles. • Medium porosity: Hair feels slightly textured, indicating healthy cuticles. • High porosity:...
