Two strand twists/Twist out

Last night we decided that since the yarn braids were out we would do a hot oil treatment to condition her hair after being up for a while with the yarn. I put some EVOO in the microwave for about 20 seconds and then rubbed it on her hair and scalp. I didn't have a cap to put on her so a grocery bag worked just fine. Sometimes you just have to improvise;)

After that, we washed her hair with Kinky Curly Come Clean shampoo and then conditioned with the Knot Today and twisted into two sections before detangling.

We then detangled with our Denman brush which seems to be so much easier with the Knot Today in her hair. I really do love that stuff. Next it was time to start grabbing sections to put the KCCC in. I didn't part anything, just randomly grabbed a section that was about an inch or two of hair and generously applied the KCCC. Once we had enough on the hair, I twisted it up. Once her whole head was completed, I put a clip on the top of her head to hold the wet hair off her shoulders until bed time. At bed time she covered her hair with a satin cap. Her hair was a bit damp still which always worries me because I feel like its going to get matted, but the KCCC seems to help it hold up well through that.

When she woke up this morning her hair was completely dry so we started to take the twists down. One at a time they came out as easy as they went in and we through in a headband that I had made for her, and off we went for the day. She loves it when her hair is like this because of how bouncy the curls are.

This morning before we untwisted the two strand twists.

Being silly with her tongue out!
