Is Your Hair Shedding Or Breaking? Take Down Mini Twists With Me #Naturalhair #Hairgrowth #Blackhair

What up what up? What up it is the curly Doc, and I am back gon na - do a takedown of these twists. I really want to show you what is what the process is like honestly and I'll walk you through that, so just hopping right into it, and here I just put my hair up so that I can take out each twist one at a time as we're going Through this honestly, the protective style component is not just having twists; it is also about. How are you taking your hair out? How are you protecting your hair in the process when you're taking out these twists? So let me just walk you through this. I I'll go through it one by one. So you see, I just took out the twist you'll see my roots are looking kind of crazy because along the edges, my hair gets a lot more exposure. Um, it's you know the twists aren't as protected on the edges. So here I'm really taking my time to rake through and really just separate out my hair loosen it up starting at the roots. You know typically when you're detangling, if with a utensil like a comb or a brush or something like that, the practice is typically to start at the ends. But I have found that that does not make sense when I'm taking out my twists, because it's easier for me to separate from the roots, because I can access the hair and get the hair looser more easily. That way. So I just I'm gentle with it like. I go through each section, so I'm still in the first twist y'all, okay, so you're, seeing this process, I'm being very gentle with letting the hair just Loosely fall apart and the way that it wants to naturally, and what you'll see here, I'm going to show the Difference in just like volume, so my thin little twist on that right side compared to what looks like thicker hair on the left side. But it's really just because with fine hair it gets really compact very easily. And when you loosen it up, you get a little bit more volume, which is why I like kind of being able to rock a little twist out of sorts after I take out twists. But I usually don't do that for too long. Maybe just for a few days or so so all right. So here I am again walking you through this process and I'm just showing you raking through raking through. You can see that the clumps are de-clumping, that's kind of the goal. You want to be able to do this gently with your hands before going in with a tool, and actually I don't use a tool at all when I'm detangling like this, I wait until I get into the shower before I even start thinking about using a tool, But here you're, seeing I'm taking my time taking my time, just loosening, loosening each section and that's really what's going to be happening for most of this and what you'll see, and I encourage you to kind of watch through the whole thing I'll see how much shed Hair, I have, which is really not that much so as you kind of get towards the end of this video you'll I'll, show you the cumulative shed hairs that I've had from this takedown process of the twists. So I'll start going, do this a little bit faster! So that you can get a sense of how I take down each twist, but you'll also see when I have some moments where it starts to snag and there's a little bit of tingling and how I approach that. But I'll just kind of leave you with the music for now until I get to one of those situations where I'm struggling with a tingle foreign. Thank you, foreign, all right, so I'm hopping back in because I'm about to swap sides. I think I just got bored of that one side and switched to the other side, but this is where you'll start to see that I really did experience some snags and yep. Here we go and I'm about to zoom in soon to show it to you all. So it's just basically because the twist was so skinny at the end, it kind of got like a little knotted. So I'm right here you see, I am being gentle patient, taking my time to really untwist that and not rip it apart. Okay, so right there. Even then I was like okay don't rip and when I'm feeling that tension, I'm like all right, breathe, try again and not rip, let it naturally separate. So I was like all right cool. I think I had patience there because if I had tried to snag that earlier than I probably would have like ripped off at least a solid inch of my hair, but I was patient and did not do that because the goal here is length retention. Ladies, let's not forget that so then I was able to get through the rest of that twist without any issues just going through my separation process and really just making sure that I was able to get out the clumps that were popping up in this twist. Thank you, foreign, so I'm about to jump ahead, real quick because you don't need to walk me undo my whole head. This actually took me over an hour. I was doing Bible study virtual Bible study while doing this, so it did actually take me quite a while because I'm being patient, because my goal is waist length hair by the end of the year. So you can't rush that you can't rush the growth. You can't rush the process, so here I am, I jumped ahead to show you when I just had a few twists left and I'll kind of go through, because this might be a little bit easier for you to see how I'm really taking my time to separate Out each of these twists so you'll see me here going one at a time again and the ones in the front tend to be easier. For many reasons, my hair is looser in the front. I think I did the twist a little bit bigger in the front. I ended up doing these mini twists way smaller than I had initially intended, because I don't actually usually do mini twists, because my hair is quite fine, so my twists end up being more so medium small than actually Mini, and I find that that's helpful to making Sure that my ends aren't too exposed that the ends of the twist aren't too skinny things like that, so just random tips to pop in there for you to think about, especially if you are a fine hair girly like myself, so we're just you know finishing up This process and we'll kind of go through and get to the point where I have finished and we'll do a little bit of a length check because remember the goal is waist length hair. So, every time I take out one of these protective styles, I'm going to check to see what progress has been made and show you guys because we're trying to get waist length, hair together in 2023., all right! So I'm gon na stop talking now foreign foreign foreign, the hair, has been taken out you're, seeing volume you're seeing Baba Voom you're, seeing that we're keeping our hair healthy and long because that's the goal. That is the goal. We are aiming to keep this length in and actually ended up wearing my hair out like this for a couple of days, because you know sometimes you got ta form the length. Okay, sometimes you just want to do it here. I am trying to show you a length check, but then I realized that I probably should have moved forward just as much so I'm going to end up doing that in a bit, but I'm really checking to see where am I at and that length retention process. So definitely at bra strap a little bit beyond bra, strap and excited about that. You know just you know, making sure that we're enjoying and celebrating all the moments, all the small ones, but here it's a better angle for you to actually see. Unfortunately, my body rolls those little rolls on my side are kind of indicative of where my waist is at we're praying that by the time my hair gets to waist length that that roll will be gone. So, as promised here is the total shedding that I experienced for my whole head. I had these twists in for about two weeks, so you know we all know that stat 50 to 100 hairs shed per day, so I don't think that's too bad of an amount of shed hair. So here we are wrapping it up, launching it flipping it showing the length doing all that good stuff and we'll catch you in the next one for the journey. Bye,
