This style was intended for an event being held on the weekend. As we naturals all know, we rarely have time or energy to do a full head of hair, dress, and be ready for an event all in the same day. This is where wearing twists can come in handy. Washing and deep conditioning and then wearing your hair in twists for the week BEFORE your planned event can:
1. Help keep your hair sectioned, making it easier to part and heat style your hair right before your event.
2. Help keep your hair detangled for the week: I don't even have to explain myself here, y'all already know the deal.
3. Help to dry your hair completely: Allowing your hair to completely dry allows for decreased heat damage when heat styling, and allows for a neater style (we all know what happens when that hair ain't fully dried).
4. Help to keep your hair stretched: If you desire a more stretched style, then twists help to keep your strands stretched until you reach the weekend.
5. Help to decrease blow drying time: Now I didn't blow dry before this style, because I wanted to limit the amount of heat and manipulation that I put into my hair, but if your heart so desires, making sure your twists are THOROUGHLY detangled ensures a smoother, less tangly blow drying session.
Quick Tip: If your twists aren't long enough to wear in public or you are transitioning, cover your head with a satin bonnet and rock a turban throughout the week.
Next, I sectioned my head (while still in twists) into four large sections.
