Maintenance Tips for Hair Twists
If you have Afro hair, you can benefit from the variety of braids and twists many salons offer. Many skilled hairstylists perform twists for both long and short hair locks. Here are some maintenance tips and tricks for your short hair twist:
You wake up, get out of bed, and go outside every day with the same look. So, you ask yourself, “does my hairstyle need maintenance at all?” Of course. You should protect your style to make your twists look as fresh as they were the day you got them.
Your first job will be to protect your strands at night. You need to wear a satin headscarf while sleeping. This practice will not only help protect your twists and make them look fresh but protect the roots and the scalp from drying out. If covering your head with a headscarf brings you any discomfort, then you could use a satin pillowcase instead.
Another technique is to apply a leave-in conditioner from time to time to help you maintain smooth twists and protect your hair so it will still be healthy and gorgeous when you are ready to go out. Focus your attention on the ends. If you have untwisted hair, you may suffer from split ends over time.
Washing your braids and twists is just as important. A helpful tip is to braid your twists together in several bigger braids before washing to help keep them from unraveling. Hair washing should take place at once a week with a residue-free shampoo to help prevent your hair from becoming greasy.
