Recently rinsed twistout
Why rinse a twistout?
- To refresh an old twist out
- Working out or sweating
- For moisture
Tips for rinsing a twist out:
- Use a soft shower spray to rinse. A powerful spray will disrupt the twistout pattern.
- Squeeze the water in but do not rub or manipulate the hair too much.
- When drying, again, squeeze out excess water and use a t-shirt or microfiber towel to either gently squeeze the water out or wrap it around your hair. Do not rub with a towel. I prefer to just wear a microfiber towel or curls like us towel for a bit and then let it air dry. A rinsed twist out dries faster for me than a wash n go.
- Shake the hair if you want a wilder look or fluffier look. I have to say that this has mixed results for me. Sometimes I will end up with frizz everywhere, sometimes a nicely defined fro.
- Spritz on a moisturizing leave in or whatever you want as the last touch.
- Rinsing works better on a twist out initially done on wet hair than one done on dry hair, at least in my experience.
