If your twist out looks like Lord Danbury’s then you need to read this 🧵 . Black Girl Curls is going to share the 5 Tips to Avoid Having a Twist Out that is Giving Lord Danbury.
1) Make sure your hair is throughly cleansed, conditioned and detangled. It is very important to start with a clean canvas when we are setting and styling our hair.
2) Learn the proper technique and application for achieving a well set twist. Executing a proper twist will allow for you to achieve the desired form of this manipulated curl that you desire
3) Let’s skip the LOC or LCO (leave-in, oil, cream) method all together and let’s choose either a cream or foam with hold to set and style our twist with. Hair styling involves using the appropriate styler with hold and the LOC method just doesn’t do that
4) Let the twist dry THOROUGHLY THROUGHOUT! Black Girl Curls suggest sitting under a hood dryer for at least 30 minutes and let the hair cure for 24-36 hours before taking the twist apart. In order to change the form of the hair it needs to be able to dry completely in that form.
5)If you would like definition from root to end, opt for a flat twist instead. Flat Twisting allows us to create definition that goes from root to end while minimizing “puffy roots”

“Why don’t we see more tight curl + naturals just wearing their hair as it is?”
Is this what “as it is” looks like?
Because these 2 polished fros are cut to perfection, picked to perfection and we very sure they were sprayed with all kinds of Afro Sheen.
Let’s not fail to recognize that the Afros of the 60s and 70s era were most certainly top tier and a lot of work. These fros were not just coming out of the shampoo and conditioner like this. This is the work of multiple hair pickings and patting throughout the day.
Spraying with all kinds of hair sprays. Along with a a nightly ritual plaiting or braiding of some kind so that picking in in the morning would be a breeze. A well done Afro is VERY high maintenance.
Not a week has gone by since I’ve been showing my hair on this here internet (since 2015) where someone hasn’t either commented on how my hair looks dry or that it looks damaged from the color.
What Black Girl Curls has learned in our time of working both in person and digitally with clients around the world is that we don’t really know the unique aspects of our hair.
Yes you may know your hair from what you’ve learned so far. We only know what we know, right?
