NEW TWIST CHALLENGE

I would like to join, I put in some small twist last week and will keep them in for two weeks. But I might mix in some braids during the month, is that ok???
After I take out these twist, I will wash my hair and redo the twist or braids each week after wearing my hair out for a day or two. I need variety!!!

Also, I will trim my hair after I take down these small twist. I'm currently APL and I want to be BSL by the end of the year so these protective styles will help me reach my goal.

Well...I made it through week 1. I wore wNG's this weekend. However, time got a way from me and I wasn't able to re-twist until last night. This is the style I'm wearing this week....the same as last week almost!!

Excuse the decor...as you will soon see I take pictures almost anywhere. This is in the fitness center locker room at my job!

I'm in too. I usually twist on Sundays and take it down Fridays (just in time for the weekend!). I have no problems wearing twists for an entire week!

Still wearin' the twists and I love this challenge because I don't have to do much since it's in twists.

KNH- I am loving your twist!!!

I'm super late...but I'm in! I'll twist, trim, measure...and let the games begin!

My twist will last for about 4-5 days, I'll rock the twist out for a day and then start all over again.

I haven't tried wetting them mid-week...I'll have to try that. This is my first challenge...kinda excited!

I measured my hair last week and the shortest parts measure about 11 inches and the longer sections measure 13inches. I am hoping to retain a full inch by the time the challenge ends.

Dang...I keep missin' out on the twist challenges!
Seen some pretty nice hair...lookin' goon ladies!
I have been twisting regardless....keeping them in for 2-3 days at a time maybe 4 depending, wearing a twist-out 2 days and then shampooing/ deep conditioning or co-washing and then re-twisting all over. I read about sister-twists in the last twist challenge thread and have been doing those now for the last 3 times....WOW is all I can say [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]!

Last week I shampooed, conditioned, and twisted my hair with coconut oil. This weekend when I took my hair out it was so soft!

Hi Ladies...

I'm still twisted...hair that is!! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] The sides are flat twisted and 2 strand twist all over. No picture...almost the same style as last week.

This weekend I only wore my hair out 1 day which was Saturday. Then I did a henna treatment, dc'ed,used KimmayTube's leave-in conditioner, and twisted with Ecostyler Custard.

Real simple right? However, I need to find something to use on my twists during the week for moisture. What I've been using is making my twists frizzy. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Have a great week ladies!!

Thank you Nyla

I'm trying to stay committed to this challenge. It was hard at first, but I'm enjoying this now. I don't feel the urge to shampoo after 2 or 3 days!!! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Hi Ladies...

Is this challenge still going on? Well I've been sort of MIA...got family in town and I've been under the weather. However, through it all I've still been twisted..LOL

I wore my hair like my avatar picture the week of August 9th. My sister-in-law braided the front, and I twisted the back using AfroVeda's Curls Define!! This was a fun style using a half-wig...got a lot of compliments.

This week I am back to twists out bangs and twists in the back pinned up. I'll try and post a picture this week.

I think the challenge ends on the 19th? Right? Well anyway...I'm glad I stuck to and completed one challenge!!!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!

Im twisted- Just havnt posted any pics!

I'm twisted too!!! I'm really bad about updating in challenges tho but I'm trying to get better lol

How did (or is) everyone's challenge going?

I was going to stop this week but since I wore my hair out for a week straight when I went on vacation it needs some time to recuperate. I am back in twist this week and I am finding that the more I do twists the faster I get at doing them. Also, back in Jan I had a problem with SSKs after wearing twists for a month - redoing them every week seems to be helping a lot with keeping them at bay.

Twisting my hair all summer has definetly helped bring it back to life! My hair was so dry when I came back from school in May and now it feels revived I've also learned how to get more better twistouts so i'm a happy camper.

This is what my hair currently looks like. I'll most likely wash and re-twists on wednesday since schools starting up again!

Where do yall get ideas for your twist? I'm new to twisting, but I would love to join this challege. I need ideas for two strand twist.

I have been MIA for a little while. But I'm as of 2 days ago, I am retwisted! Planning on wearing twists and wiggin' it for as long as tolerable.

Welcome new peeps!!!

I deep conditioned and retwisted on Saturday. So far, I've broken my record for twists. Go me!

I have officially stopped my twist challenge. I started on Jul 18 and stopped Sep 2. It was actually easy to know what I was going to do with my hair each week.

I went a little longer on my challenge because the hubby and I went on out anniversary trip in Aug and I wore my hair out for a week. The downside is that I got a lot of SSKs from doing that and had to trim about 1/2 all over.

I got the best results from my twists when I used coconut oil to twist my hair.

I still retained some growth:
Start: 11-13inches
End: 12-13.5 inches

Today I have my ends up in a bun and I just may start back bunning for awhile.
