it was over ten years until yesterday i went to get senegalese twists at a braiding salon. i don't know if that counts, since i washed, conditioned and blow dryed myself. i put in my own moisturizer and sealant, and they just did the twists.
waste of $200 if you ask me. 8 hours and a head FULL of bulky twists. they kept telling me the hot water would make them shrink. didn't happen. it LOOKS fine, but the point of me getting them was so that i can easily throw them up in a pony to work out or bun. but it's so friggin thick, i can barely get a headband around it. so i'm going back today to either get my money back or have them redo them. i knew there was a reason i kept people out of my hair...
