Today I decided to take down my mini twists. Although I unraveled them earlier than 2 weeks expected I still plan to work with the style so same difference.
I began by applying extra virgin olive oil from tip to body (avoiding roots). I used this oil because it has great slip, gives natural shine and softens. Before untwisting I realized I needed a trim; I had stingy ends and fairy knots so I went around and snipped 1/4 of an inch of hair while in twists (I love the look of healthy hair).
I then sectioned hair and began untwisting each twist. This method is time consuming so I make sure I do my hair only when I have time to spend. I tend to borrow from other sections while twisting so I pay extra attention to those twists. Improper untwisting can lead to breaking of the hair. I did this to each and every single twist, carefully unraveling them until I had a defined head of natural hair. To finish I made 7 braids, I did this in a way to save the twists in the morning. To do this I made sure I did not disturb any twist out. When I was done I simply put on my silk bonnet and went to bed.
Next day results:
