Two-Strand Twists & Diagonal Cornrows
After a day of running errands, it was Lady Grace's turn to get her hair fixed! After a washing and deep conditioning, I decided on a double strand twist style. I used Miss Jessie's Curly Pudding for each twist and finished the style off with a few spritzes of Shea Moisture's Reconstructive Elixir Spray on the scalp. I'd actually intended to give her double strand twists throughout. However, as I reached the top (and dinner time approached), Lady Grace became a bit irritable and unwilling to continue sitting. So, I decided to create diagonal cornrows from the crown of her head to her forehead so that I could finish up faster. To create this style, I sectioned and clipped the wet hair into six sections, and twisted the hair section-by-section. If a section became a bit dry, a few spritzes of water "revitalized" the hair to it's twist-ready state. Also, I took care to run the Curly Pudding down the hair shaft from root to end, ensuring even application and twisting all the way to the ends. I like the results! What I love about two-strand twists is the style diversity. For example, the twists can just hang naturally or can be manipulated into ponytails or even held back with a headband or clips. I am trying a new method of maintaining the twists at night (to avoid the fuzzies), and if successful will post the process.
