How To Twist Out + how I prepared for my twist out

          I've been wanting to do a twist out for the longest time but all off my attempts failed. Finally I watched enough videos and read a lot of blogs and tutorials until I finally realized what I needed to do.
          Tomorrow my grandmother is going to get some stuff for the house and I figured that while she's out I could grab what I need. I figured out what I wanted after watching enough videos and I saw that some people used A LOT of products. So I did my research and looked at products I thought would work best for me and typed them up in my notes along with there their prices. So I decided on:
-Salon Care perm rods $2.39
-Proclaim hair bonnet $2.69
-Silk Elements Styling Comb Kit $3.99
-The Wet Brush (in black) $7.99
(I haven't decided on the curl jelly yet)

But I'm going to tell you how I'M doing my twist out!
hope you enjoy.

-So first I'm going to wash my hair, condition, deep condition etc. before anything because it won't looks as cute if it's dirty and it most likely will be easier with freshly clean hair. 
-while my hair is damp, part your hair (the piece you want to twist) I'm going to add my curl jelly/curl moisturizer/ leave in conditioner You could also dampen the hair with extra water if you'd like to. 
-now taking the detngle brush and brushing through the part you can start the twist!
~flat twist: part one piece of hair (for better results use) and part that piece in at least three parts (each piece on top of the other) take the TOP layer and begin twisting it and started adding hair from the other parts you made. (kinda like a french twist). and do that to your whole head.
-Now add your perm rods to the ends and roll them up how ever far you want. 
-Once that's done, put on your bonnet securely to make sure that it won't come off.
_______________________________________________________________________________
AFTER PART I
-Now the twist should be dry after about 8-24 hrs.
-gently remove the perm rods  
-and gently undo the twist
-you can take your're twist and gently break them apart again for more curls and then take a pic and then pick out out some of the parts to put them in place and you're good.
_______________________________________________________________________________NIGHTLY CARE
-put all your hair into a loose ponytail on the top of your head
-now add your bonnet (MAKE SURE TO SECURE IT)

HOW TO: Twist Out

HOW TO: Twist Out
(This is a natural style)

What You Need:
-wet hair
-leave in conditioner

-blow dryer (optional)

How To:
-First you should start off with co-washed hair. (The tutorial for this is already up.)
-with the wet hair add your leave in conditioner. Make you hair moist.
- part your hair into at least four parts.
- moisturize each part until wet/very damp
-three strand twist each part. If you do not know how there are plenty of videos online and I will do a very tiny tutorial on it.
- three strand twist every part
- you can let the twist dry over night or you can blow dry them.
-when they are dry carefully take the twist apart. You will not leave the curls like they are when you pull apart the twist.
-now take the new curls and pull them apart how they go naturally, do not force it!
- now you can use a pick to disperse the hair. And part it however you like. MAKE SURE NOT TO FRIZ THE CURLS OR MESS THEM UP!

VILA YOU ARE DONE!
HOW TO PRESERVE OVER NIGHT:
-Pull you hair to the very front of your head or however far it can go.
   - USE A VERY LOOSE HAIR TIE. (WE DO NOT WANT A DENT)

-Use a satin sleeping cap to cover your hair and also protect your hair if you have cotton sheets.

HOW TO: Co-Wash

HOW TO: Co-Wash

What You Need:
-Water/Shower
-Conditioner
- Wide tooth comb

How To:
-part your hair in at least four parts
-try to wet one part at a time but, if you can’t that’s fine.
-now get a good amount of conditioner and spread it all through the parted piece of hair.
- with the conditioner still on the piece use the wide tooth comb to untangle the hair.
- repeat this through all of the parted pieces of hair until done.
-wash out your hair and make sure you are still able to comb through it.
-STOP  do not use a towel to dry your hair use a t-shirt. (towels rip the nutrients from your hair.)

Now you can style your hair however you choose and VILA you have co-washed.
