Two strand twists offer a great styling solution for natural hair. However, you may be bothered by frizzy twists after a few weeks have passed. There is no need to take your hair completely down, to find another great style. Spend a few minutes to extend your two strand twists two more weeks. Here are a few great tips on how to create a twist out.

Condition

A twist out is a very sexy style that every one should try at least once. Start out by conditioner washing your hair with your favorite moisturizing conditioner. If your twists were in for a very long time, this would be a good time to deep condition. After cleansing add your favorite oil to the ends of your hair while wet. Next add some products for hold.

Product

Lottabody setting lotion or any other setting lotion can be diluted with water and sprayed onto your hair. Add your favorite petroleum free pomade or gel. Avoid products that contain petroleum. Petroleum products will pick up lint and dirt from your clothes and bedding. Choose products that will give you a bit of shine and hold. Do not use products with alcohol that may dry your hair. Gels without alcohol like IC Frizz Busters, add just enough shine and keep your hair soft.

Styling

After your hair is completely dry, take out some of the twists. This is done by unraveling the twist. Do not further untangle the section of hair .To do so will cause your hair to become frizzy. If you would like your hair style to last the longest start unraveling hair in the middle of your head. Keep the hair around the hairline and nape of the neck twisted. Gradually keep untwisting a few more twists every day.

Maintenance

For moisture you can spray daily with water, your favorite product, or gently rub in a light creamy conditioner. A great one is B&B Castor oil. This is a cream that keeps hair moisturized. Steaming your hair in the shower is a great way to plump your hair up and add moisture.

If you consistently wrap your hair every night your style can last two weeks. For the best results keep your hands out of your hair as much as possible. Do not pull the sections apart any farther. Enjoy stretching your original natural hair style of twists into this sexy twist out
