twist outs

soooooo i have my hair straight for now bcuz i need to go get my ends cut..............but i was lookin around and i saw the twist outs (cut its back to my wash and go when my ends rr cut) and i really like em and i wanna try em cuz they look cute and i hate when my hair gets patted to my head at night so it shud help alot. my question is how long should twist outs last because when i wash and go its usually everyday or everyother day. i wash it wiith conditioner though............ yea so how long does it stay or can i just re twist a few every now and than cuz if soo that would b great (sorry 4 sayn cuz so much)

Depends on how wild you sleep, and the products you used to set them. Mine can last anywhere from 2-7 days. You'll have to figure out what works for you--sleeping with the twist-out out on your satin pillow case, sleeping with the twist-out up in a high, loose pony, re-twisting before bed, sleeping in a bonnet (the least sexy, lol).

Once you figure out what works at night, you can play around with styling conditioners and stylers (gels, curl creams, setting lotion), to see which gets you 4th and 5th day hair. I've learned that the harder (stiffer) the set on day 1, the longer it will last. When my hair is too soft and fluffy on day 1, I usually only make it one more day before I have to pull it up for the week.

hth!
