Dana at For The Curlture

2 strand flat twists | still a style I will love. Lasts about 1-3 weeks, some have stretched it to 4. In the salon I don’t offer twist outs, but I do encourage you to get your wear out of the style, THEN, twist out.

How long do you wear your flat twists ?

2 strand twists will forever and always be my favorite service

1. If keeping style long term, be sure to continue in your shampoo routine. Whether it’s every 7-10 or bi-weekly

2. If wear a silk or satin head wrap to keep twists from getting crinkled

3. Apply a spray leave in followed by a hair dress or moisturizer on the ends of hair. This can be done weekly or when hair feel dry. If it’s been longer than a week see step 1

4. You and start off with a braid if you struggle with getting roots flat

5. Apply hold to hair only not the scalp (unless the product suggests to apply to scalp)

6. If you work out, sweat, or have scalp inflammation use a toner or astringent after activity or when you feel the scalp needs to be cleaned. Use a t shirt or microfiber towel.

Don’t over complicate a simple style 🌀✨💕

I know some stylists don’t like the curl chart, and I get why.

The curl chart doesn’t tell us your density, porosity, strand diameter, elasticity, or even how much hair you have. Those things matter when creating a healthy hair care plan.

But here’s the thing…

Most clients don’t speak in terms of porosity or follicle anatomy. They know their hair as “3B,” “4A,” or “4C.”

So instead of dismissing the curl chart, I use it as a starting point.

For example, Type 4 hair is coily. It typically grows from a highly curved, flattened (oval/elliptical) hair follicle, which causes the hair to form tight coils as it grows.

The curl chart isn’t the whole story, but it is a helpful way to start the conversation. From there, we can talk about the characteristics that actually determine how your hair should be cared for.

Education should meet people where they are, then take them further.

I love the progress we’ve made. Trusting someone with your hair, but also trusting the process makes for some great experiences.
