Deep Conditioning Process

It was definitely time for a deep conditioning. Lately my hair has become dry and I noticed more shedding then usual so I deep conditioned with Creame of Nature Jojoba & Olive Oil that was in one of my later post. I also mixed in some Extra Virgin Olive Oil just for a little more moisture then let it all sit for about 30 mins.

The Process:

My hair before conditioning, no product, slightly wet
 
 
Shrinkage is a trip!
 
 
 
Once I added the Deep Conditioner and Olive Oil.
 
 
 
Conditioner is really settling in. My little pony.
 
 
 Conditioner all rinsed out. Hair feeling light and soft. I just love my curls.
 
 
 
 
Before I twisted my hair I added my Shea Butter with Extra Virgin Olive Oil that I mixed up. I added through my whole head.
 
 
Now its time to twist! I added Cantu Shea Butter curling cream it smells good and has a nice shine to it. Product added more shrinkage. Don't mind the, "dryness" in my cheeks lol it's an acne medication I've been using I'll do a post on that soon.
 
 
Stretched Hair with product.
 
 
 
Medium size twist complete, all together I counted 30!
 
 
As I'm typing this post my hair is drying.

Thick Twist!


I was wearing my hair like this for months and everyone loved it! I was tired of wearing my natural hair (it happens) so I went to the beauty supply store and brought 4 packs of Marley braiding hair and put them in myself, just to try something new. Before I put them in I deep conditioned which made the whole process about 7 hours! Maybe next time they will be easier to do. I liked how these thick Senegalese twist looked natural on me and especially when they got older I loved the worn in look. Some people actually thought my twist were dreads...
 
 
(Sorry for the quality in these pictures, they are horrible!)
 
So I did my co-workers hair and it turned out great, all together she brought 6 packs of hair, 4 Marley and 2 Kanekalon. I did her hair early this morning at 8am and it only took 4 hours and some change compared to my 7! She still had 1 back left.
 
 
 
I'll make this my little side hustle..gotta save up for a car! I'll be doing someone elses hair next week. The twist are so versatile, I would do little up-dos and side swoop bands and on top of that itss a protective style to give my hair a break. I will definitely be doing them on my hair again, but not right now I'm enjoying mine!
