TokyoReina 1.5 yrs is awesome! That is about the longest I think I could go...but anytime after a year is free game for me, especially if I get more demarcation breakage.15-18 months will likely be a wrap.
Gathered up the drive to twist my hair yesterday. Id like to make them last two weeks....made it to about 11 days last time but I had to go out out of town and wanted fresh hair. My scalp kind of starts flaking after a week...hope to figure out how to avoid that.
I had a strong urge to clip the thin ends off bc my twists would actually still have some hang time if I cut the relaxed ends.. .I know because I have a small section of breakage that is all natural in the back and those twist hang down a bit. My hair is on the fine side though and im not sure if I can pull off wearing twists as a style...might be too scalpy. Right now they are long enough to pin up in updos so thats how I wear them...if I bc Id have to wear them down.
When I do bc, I think Id like to wear twists a lot during the grow out phase with a twistout here and there. Its funny how I used to not like twists as a style and only planned to wear them at night for twistouts, but I have really come to love them now.
