Tips for mini twists.

1. Cleanse and deep condition your hair before hand. Before you twist your hair is the only time you will be able to get to your scalp with out causing frizz.

2. Apply a heavy butter whilst twisting. Shea butter will suffice. But there are also store bought products.

3.twist on dry stretched hair. This will allow you to see more length and cause less knots.

4.Wash your hair. If you are leaving your twists in for longer than 2 weeks it is best to wash your hair. The misconception that twisted hair no longer need to be washed is ridiculous.

5. Sleep with a satin scarf, bonnet or pillow!

Argan Oil Hydrating Hair Masque

I had seen this product in so many shops and because it only cost £1 I thought why not give it a try. The ingredients are not too bad considering the price, no mineral oil or sulphates and argan oil is the 6th ingredient so it contains a fair amount.

I did not use this product in its purest form so this may not be such a fair test. Instead I melted some shea butter added an oil mix and honey to 3 table spoons of the mask. I do this with all my shop brought conditioners, as I heavy handed with them and it also gives me a hot oil treatment at the same time.

I applied this mixture to my damp hair and put a shower cap on then I put my heating cap on. I actually had a nap with the mask on and it ended up being in my hair for 3 hours. I rinsed my hair with warm water and finished it of with cold to close the cuticles. I then plaited added shea butter and an oil mix to my hair and plaited it in  plaits to stretch it. 

The next day I woke up and my hair wasn't dry as the plaits were quite big. I'm not sure if this was anything to do with the fact that my hair felt dry, normally when I apply a mask my hair feels extremely moisturised for about two days. This has not been the case with this mask. I don't think I will repurchase this mask again even with the favourable price as it does not seem to agree with my hair. Maybe this mask is more suited to someone with straighter hair. I will be conditioning my hair again with another product as I am not happy with the way my hair feels.
