I did this my entire pregnancy (the only difference is, My twist were a little larger and I used the ghm (which drastically reduces matting and locing, for me), so I kept my hair moist at all times under a conditioning cap and under a human hair wig) and the night before I gave birth (totally unplanned) I got my hair blown out and girlfrannnnn! I was blown away (pun intended lol) . My hair was thick and waist length (for the first time in my life!) Now, I do understand that the pregnancy contributed to my growth and thickness, but it is 5 years later and I am still waist length and I continued to do this and I have retained lot of thickness as well. For the record, I was previously a struggling bsl for the majority of my life. Side note: I also use the LOC method under my conditioning cap. I would spritz my hair with a water/oil mixture occasionally when it began to get dry. Whatever works for you, but the results for this method are proven. Best wishes to everyone on their journey! 😘
what's the ghm ? & wow congrats to you on the baby & the hair length from retention ! 🤸🏾♀ That's amazing ! Def gonna add the moisture spritz into this method to help preserve it longer. 🩵
The front is high pros ( fastest to dry - easy to let moisture in and out ) & the middle / back is low pros ( slowest to dry - harder to let moisture in but once it's in it stays in )
I braided root use water , knot today , and Jam. Am going for 3 months, 🎉do you retwist the front in back on month one and two, and three, then on month 4 do everything
I think it's the way you twist them will determine if they stay in or not, regardless of being in the shower. If you twist them in the wrong direction or without enough friction it will unravel immediately.
I actually do not moisturize my hair during that month. However , I did find that after washing & conditioning, the twists that I left alone & did not re-twist were very dry upon take down. So what I would do nxt time is after wash & cond. the twists I do not re-twist in the middle sections I would just put oil on them. That way they have some kind of moisture retention from wash day without me having to re do that entire section. ( & only don’t twist the middle b/c the front & back are most visible & I don’t wanna re do the entire style for time purposes after only 1 month. ) Hope that answers your Q ! :)
No I always start on stretched hair via braid out however you can def blow it dry. I only did it stretched to have longer twists , I don't really like them super short & shrunken. 🩵
Mini twists will get you right every time! 🥰
And do ! 😝
Beautiful😍😍, yes it's time for us to ditch the synthetic hair!💞💞
Girl yes ! I wish human hair was more affordable but when it comes to health it's def worth it ! & Thank you 🥰🩵

Aww thank you Miri ! 🥰
I stopped using synthetic hair too lol. I feel like everyone is on a length retention journey lately. I alternate between mini braids and mini twists.
Honestly yes ! I've noticed that too, but I like that for us ☺
It's so heavy on the neck. Also i developed a big allergy to the stuff that is in there.
@@soleil7259 it always makes my eyes burn 😭 🔥 idk what chemical it is but it never fails
@@amytarie. Same !!
Agreed.
Id like to see u do a video on how u take down ur twists without them matting up much.....love ur vids btw
Okay yeah , that's a great idea ! I will do that ☺ thanks for the rec
What is your hair porosity?❤
The front is high pros ( fastest to dry - easy to let moisture in and out ) & the middle / back is low pros ( slowest to dry - harder to let moisture in but once it's in it stays in )
I braided root use water , knot today , and Jam. Am going for 3 months, 🎉do you retwist the front in back on month one and two, and three, then on month 4 do everything
Yes but on month 4 I take down everything and completely wash / condition ... then re-install twists on entire head & start again.
But you are still washing hair once a month, that's a good routine
@@Red-gy9gx Yes mam ! Thank you 🩷
Beautiful hair🔥🔥
Thank you ! 🥹🤍
Back of the head + 3-way mirror = even parts
Oh yes that’s exactly what I need ! Thanks ! Lemme go straight to Amazon 😭🩷
@@amytarie.
Mine is The 360° Mirror without the LED lights. You got lucky with your door being close enough to the mirror too.
@@denyshadials5702 thank you for the rec !
Beautiful 👏🏽,I’m next.
Absolutely you are !!! 🩷
how do you keep your hair from unraveling in the shower
I think it's the way you twist them will determine if they stay in or not, regardless of being in the shower. If you twist them in the wrong direction or without enough friction it will unravel immediately.
I can't keep my hair in a style for more than 5 day before my scalp is itching like crazy. So i have to wash my hair
You can wash it in your twists as often as you’d like, shouldn’t be a problem. this is just what I do 🫶🏾
Do you moisturize your hair during that month? I would be scared that spraying water on my twist and adding product would loc my hair up
I actually do not moisturize my hair during that month. However , I did find that after washing & conditioning, the twists that I left alone & did not re-twist were very dry upon take down. So what I would do nxt time is after wash & cond. the twists I do not re-twist in the middle sections I would just put oil on them.

Hope that answers your Q ! :)
So month 4 ? Wash in twist then twist every twist?
No at the end of month 3 take out all twists. Wash & condition your hair completely. Then if you would like .. mini twist entire head & start again
Did you blow dry first,?
No I always start on stretched hair via braid out however you can def blow it dry. I only did it stretched to have longer twists , I don't really like them super short & shrunken. 🩵
Very cute
Thank you sm ! 💕
