MY NEW ADDICTION ..... THE TWISTS

I HAVE A NEW HAIR ADDICTION... THE TWISTS .LOL. BEFORE IT WAS MY MICRO BRAIDS AND I REALLY THOUGHT THAT I WILL STICK TO  THEM  BUT NOW SINCE FEW WEEKS I JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH MY TWISTS.
IN FACT I ALWAYS LOVED TWISTS  AND TWISTS  OUT BUT I WAS NOT REALLY GOOD I MAKING THEM AND KEEPING THEM NEAT AND FRESH MORE THAN 2 DAYS.
BUT MY SISTER WHO IS VERY " RUBBISH" AT  BRAIDING STRANGELY, IS VERY GOOD AT TWISTING.
 IN FACT WHEN  SHE  IS MAKING MY TWISTS I CAN KEEP THEM 2 WEEKS WITHOUT RETOUCHING THEM. IN FACT I USED ALOES VERA GEL AND SOMETIMES COCONUT OIL TO KEEP THEM MOISTURIZED AND SHINY.
I  HAD TO CHANGE MY HAIR ROUTINE COMPARE TO THE MICRO BRAIDS. WITH THE MICRO BRAIDS I JUST KEPT THEM FOR 6 WEEKS BUT CO WASHED  MY HAIR EVERY WEEK AND APPLY HOT CASTOR OIL ON MY SCALP.
WITH MY TWISTS I HAD TO DETANGLE AND WASH MY HAIR EVERY WEEK  WITH MY HOMEMADE SHAMPOO AND ALSO  APPLY HOT CASTOR OIL.

MY HOMEMADE SHAMPOO

SHAMPOO APPLY ON DRY HAIR

RINSED AND CO WASHED

BLOW DRIED

ALOES VERA GEL APPLIED

I THINK THAT MY SISTER DID A GREAT JOB. I REALLY LOVED THE FINISH LOOK AND TO KEEP THEM NEAT I JUST APPLIED SOME  ALOES GEL TO SEAL THEM.
EVERY  MORNING I DO THE SAME AND IN THE EVENING I APPLIED A MIXTURE OF COCONUT OIL, ALOES VERA GEL AND CASTOR OIL. DURING THE DAY I WEAR A BANDANA  SO IT  KEEPS MY TWISTS NEAT AND SHINY.
BELOW MY HAIR 1 WEEK AFTER THIS HAIR CARE ROUTINE.

 MY BRAIDS OUT 2 WEEKS LATER. LOVE LOVE IT BUT I NEED TO IMPROVE  THE RESULT  BECAUSE I WANTED MORE DEFINITION IN THE CURLS BUT WITH PRACTICE I KNOW IT WILL COME.

 UPDATE ON MY WEIGHT : I  PUT ON 2 POUNDS THAT I HAD LOST LAST WEEK MY MEDICATION IS THE CULPRIT ( WATER RETENTION) AND I HAD TO TAKE THEM BECAUSE OF THE PAIN CAUSED BY THE FIBROID DURING MY PERIOD.
 MY ADVISER TOLD ME TO SEE MY DOCTOR AND TO CONTINUE THE PROGRAM SO UNTIL I SEE MY GP I AM QUITE DEPRESSED BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT...
MAYBE I WILL NEVER LOOSE WEIGHT BECAUSE OF THAT. MY SISTER HAD ALREADY LOST  12 POUNDS. EVERYTHING IS WORKING FOR HER  AND BECAUSE I AM THE ONE WHO IS MAKING THE COOKING AND EVERYTHING I AM SOOO HAPPY FOR HER.
