Do I HAVE to Wash My Hair Today?

Let's face it, washing natural hair requires a bit of time and patience.  I usually wash (or co-wash) and style my hair once a week, but every now and then I reach that 1 week mark and I just don't have time to wash my hair.  My work schedule is strenuous and sometimes I am just dog tired.  
Hair that has been styled for a few days to a week often provides a great foundation for other hairstyles.  When I'm too tired to wash my hair, I always ask myself, how can I make my hair look decent without washing and starting from scratch?  I have really thick hair and the longer I go without washing it, the more tangled and matted it can become.  When my hair reaches this point, I always immediately wash and condition.  
This particular day, I felt daring or maybe just lazy lol. Natural hair brainstorming almost always leads to an awesome style! Here are the steps I took to turn an old tangled twist out into beautifully defined and moisturized chunky twists.

1. Section hair and divide it using clips.

2. Smooth a moisturizer ( I used Camille Rose Naturals, Curlade Moisture Butter) into each section and finger detangle each section.

3. Starting from the back of your head, 2 strand twist large sections of your hair ( of course, being careful not to borrow from other sections of hair) When you get to the front of your head, part your hair the way you would like the twists to fall.

4. I slept about 5-6 hours with a silk bonnet and then undid my twists.

5.  Separate the twists at least 2x for fullness.

After you're done, your hair will be detangled and more manageable.  It will also look great!! This only took about 20 minutes and I was able to last a few more days without washing my hair.
