We’ve all been there. What we thought was going to be a dope twist out turns out to be a dud. If you start to take down your twists and can see your style isn’t turning out so hot you can take action to prevent things from going further downhill.
Here are the top 3 reasons why your twist out results suck:
- The product you used didn’t work out for you
- Your ends need to be trimmed (stringy ends will ruin this style)
- Your hair didn’t dry completely
Once you see that the twist out isn’t going to be what you had hoped, unfortunately there isn’t any going back. You don’t want to make the situation any worse and hopefully the goal is to save the style; get ready to do some damage control!
#1 Avoid over fluffing and picking your hair, this will make it more frizzy.
#2 Do separate your strands a max of only 2 times and make sure you lightly oil your hands before going to work.
#3 If your hair isn’t dry and you don’t have time to wait, blow dry your hair (ideally with a diffuser attachment
Style savers:
- Try doing a quick updo bun or ponytail
- Tuck and roll it into a style
- Go with the fro and rock a more textured fluffy style
- Wear a headwrap or headband
My hair is extremely damaged due to medications. It continues to break everyday. Since the meds I’m taking are helping my condition, I’ve decided to remain on them. I will no longer perm my hair as a result and I’ve decided to go natural. I swore I would never go natural but at this point I have no choice. I’m extremely nervous and could use some encouragement.
You can do it! Trust me, it’s different at first, but once you learn your hair will find that your hair will be more healthy, full and versatile. I recommend you check these pages out:

I have Lupus amongst other things that affected my health and hair. I find that there are days maybe weeks were my hair is beautiful, curly ,moisturized awh you name it .Then I have those weeks were my hair is like not !! On those days I try to remember why I started this journey! And that was for better health all around. Updos headbands scarfs won’t hurt at that time either 🙂 . So she right you can do it and when you feel like falling off just keep sticking to it !!!
