Mini Twists Two Week Update!!

Hi guys, just doing a quick update to let you know how Skye's mini twists are holding up. This time around, I am only washing them every two weeks instead of every week like I did before.  I also put them into five big braids before the shampoo, which I think helped keep them from unravelling.  After I washed with the Creme of Nature Argan Oil Shampoo on Sunday, I used a little Suave Naturals Tropical Coconut Conditioner and rinsed it out after about five minutes.  After lightly drying with a towel, I unbraided/rebraided the twists while applying plenty of Bee Mine Luscious Moisturizer to each section.  I let the braids stay in overnight, and when I took them out this morning we ended up with a really nice, moisturized Braid Out on the Mini Twists!! More pics below, thanks so much for reading!

Picture Day Hurr:)

Hi! Picture day was this past Tuesday and we went with a simple ponytail with flat twists in the front. I initially wanted a twist out in the back but I added some little rollers to the two strand twists and I didn't like the way the curls came out. I ended up just pulling it up into a high ponytail and it came out pretty cute, so she wore it for the whole week! I used Bee Mine Curly Butter on the flat twists, and Bee Mine Luscious Moisturizer on the rest of her hair and sealed with coconut oil. It stayed really soft and moisturized for the whole week! I'll post the Spring Pictures as soon as I get them back, hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Here's one with the tiny rollers that made curls I didn't like! I ended up using flexirods to stretch out the curls more...then I braided the curls to get a more wavy look.

Mini Twists - Four Week Update!

Just a quick little update on Skye's mini twists! We have made it to week four and I am planning to take the twists out at the end of the week. I'm sure they could last a couple more weeks but I want to do something different since we'll probably be doing our Christmas pictures next week. (SN: Yes, we always wait til the last minute and I usually make my own greeting cards at Wal-Mart and pass them out at Christmas dinner instead of mail them. Don't judge me, lol:))

So anyways, I skipped Skye's weekly wash this past weekend (due mostly to laziness on my part) and instead re-upped on the moisturizer. I added some Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Style Conditioning Milk all over her hair and then sealed with a little Sweet Almond Oil. I re-did the flat twists in the front and used a little Bee Mine Curly Butter to lay her edges down. I put about five big braids in her hair and left them in overnight to get some waves/curls going. Below are a couple of pictures that I snapped this morning before school. And as always, thanks for reading!

Mini Twists - Three Week Update!

Hi everybody! We're actually around three and a half weeks right now...though it feels like it's been forever. On Sunday, I washed Skye's hair and then did a braid out on the mini twists. I followed our usual routine, but I also added in a protein treatment using Organic Root Stimulator Hair Mayonnaise. After I rinsed out the mayo treatment (which left her hair feeling really soft btw), I added her leave-in conditioner and put four big braids in (two in the front and two in the back). Monday night, I decided to put some flat twists in the front since the mini twists in that section are still unraveling quite a bit. Ever since I received my Bee Mine Curly Butter (ordered on Black Friday) I've been really anxious to use it, so I tried it on the flat twists and I absolutely love it. It smells amazing, and it really took away all of the frizziness and helped the flat twists look a lot neater. Here are a couple of pictures that I took yesterday before she went to school. The flat twists aren't perfect but they'll do, and I really like how crinkly/curly the braid out turned out!
