In this video I’m taking you through what my curls look like after 15 days of tiny twists—and why this is still hands-down one of my favorite protective styles. I literally just got home from travel (California!) and realized my hair was screaming for a wash day, especially after a surprise issue in the back: matting from the roots loosening. I ended up taking out the bottom twists while I was away and putting my hair into two big twists just to prevent it from getting worse, and once I got home it was time to fully take everything down. I show you how I remove my tiny twists (always with oil first—no water yet), what my hair looks like as the twists come out, and why tiny twists feel so “healing and restorative” for my hair. Even though I only oiled once in the whole 15 days (and I installed them on hair that was already “pushing it”), my hair still felt surprisingly moisturized and looked so full once I took it down. I also share my current game plan for wash day—prepoo, detangle, shampoo, deep condition—and the exact products I’m using to prepoo/detangle, plus how I’m thinking about trims, single strand knots, and keeping my hair as healthy as possible leading up to a future professional trim.
