The last few weeks have been really rough and it felt nice to just step back and do something kinda mindless and relaxing. The entire set: washing, conditioning and twisting took about 2 hours but I’m willing to make that kind of time sacrifice because I can see myself getting some seriously long wear out of these bad boys.

I’ve had these twists in for about a week and they’re holding up so nicely! Which is amazing because it’s so humid I’m practically breathing water. If I didn’t have my portrait coming up I probably would have kept these in for another week because they’re still looking pretty fresh. And I was really surprised at how versatile they were. Yes, you see people rocking twisted updos, twisted twists, pony tails and the like but I never thought that would be possible because my hair is SO fine. But it worked!

    Your twists look very cute!
