I wore a twist out today because I need to henna these grey roots. Me and my oldest wore matching twistouts today! I will be wearing a bun for a week and then re-twisting.

Beautiful twist-outs on you both!

Spritzed and massaged in Xcel-21 every day this week, did GHE every other day. Redid perimeter twists today.

My hair is drying in a wash and go. Once dry I will bun it

I think my twists are two weeks old now. I decided to do a scalp exfoliation and a protein treatment today. This evening, I plan on combining these medium-small twists into medium-large twists. I'll probably go back and forth with these two sizes until next month.

I've been taking my braids out for the last 3 days and I've only did 1/4, lol. Hopefully Saturday I can get them all out because I have an appointment for a hair style on sunday.

Ive had these braids in 5 weeks today. I'll be out this challenge 8 weeks and then back in after I take this style out.

I had to reschedule my appointment for the 18th. Im still taking braids out. I just counted the front and I have 21 remaining. Ill finish tomorrow. Hopefully I will be able to wash tomorrow evening.

Trust me this hair is anything but easy to maintain. Unfortunately the longer it's getting the more difficult. But buns and braid/twist styles are best for me.

Did the loc method tonight, X-cel 21 as usual. Noticed a couple of split ends that I trimmed (the very, very ends were split) and a couple of really split hairs (3) that I lost (found them earlier in the night when I didn't have the chance to trim them).

Can I join this challenge if I plan to bun but use a bit of marley hair so that the bunned part isn't so puny?

I feel you but no I can't give you that pass. I want to do the same thing but I don't get that pass either. Now if you can do your 5 days with no added hair, you can rock the extension hair for 2 days after that but you will need 5 days straight, just your hair.

Colocha · Feb 12, 2017

Took down twists after two weeks and detangled tonight.

Gosh I remember why I only do around 15 twists normally. It took 5 hours to detangle my hair. IT was also extra dry. I'm not sure if that's because of the Xcel 21 I've started using or what but I had to detangle with my prepoo (PK Elasticizer) rather than using oil and applying after. Wash day tomorrow.

beauti · Feb 12, 2017

Today is wash day and i think i will plat my hair afterwards and wear those plats in a bun until next week.

Bette Davis Eyes · Feb 12, 2017

Been rocking twist bangs with a low ponytailn bun. Not motivated to do anything else.

Alta Angel · Feb 12, 2017

I hennaed overnight on Friday. I steamed/conditioned and let my hair airdry in big braids to stretch on Saturday. I retwisted last night for HOURS!!! Thank goodness I am set for two weeks. I love this challenge because it is keeping me focused on my hair goals. I am also loving the beautiful styles you all are posting!

Put 9 big twists in my hair and clipped them up with a Ficcare. planning to wear this until the end of the week and wash again. I noticed my hair looked really weird. It hung to my shoulders and didn't have as much shrinkage once I moisturized and sealed. It almost looked like I could wear a wash and go.

I have S shaped curls at the front of my head and tighter, pen spring coils in the back. I always wanted my whole head to be S shaped because those curls are so easy to deal with in comparison. Well not the back seems to be approximating the front, but it's a lil creepy. Dunno why it's happening.

Maybe a growth spurt? I've found that when my hair reaches a new length that it changes the way that it hangs. (Not necessarily to reflect a new milestone length, but maybe a new inch or two.)

@snoop If that's it I would be so happy. I've been pretty faithful with Xcel 21 and accompanying scalp massages and I've been trying out visualization. Also been doing GHE again which helped out a few years ago.

I've been wearing twists for three weeks because I got bored of updos and I already notice a difference in my ends.

Is it a good difference?

Yeah it is! They are less tangly and are more moisturized. I think keeping them twisted helps lock moisture too.

beauti · Feb 19, 2017

My hair is freshly braided for the week. I used Naptural85's braidout method since I might do a braidout close to wash day.

faithVA · Feb 20, 2017

I washed, conditioned and roller set yesterday. I trimmed today. Tonight I will go ahead and put it back into twist for the week. I will do bigger flat twist so I can easily take it down over the weekend to moisturize and then put it back up.

ElevatedEnergy · Feb 26, 2017

Wore a high bun today.
