How I Maintain Smaller Twists Outs

You know how much your hair can change its mind once you decide to let her run wild. Well, mine is pretty much the same. Some days a twist out would rise to the occasion, but only leaving me with a single defined strand. Then, almost immediately that twist out becomes something else because it has to. Only unless I didn't care and just walk out with my hair looking like rah-rah, but those days are becoming less and less. Here's why. 

First, I don't pressure myself to get the perfect twist out. Perfection can give you stress of the worst kind and that is not what I am after. What I normally do is of course twist my hair into finger-fat twists using conditioner/ leave in and coat it with oil. I twist it out in the mornings, but the thing is, I don't unravel my hair all the way. I don't fluff out the roots, so it looks like  the extensions that are only plaited near the roots. The reason I do this is because at the end of my day, I attend to my hair giving it moisture, watering it lovingly like a plant, reapplying product(s) and twisting it back instead of from scratch. 

This simplifies my life because sometimes I would wash it in the twists, retwist and mount it in an updo and if the time allows, the other day I would twist it out again. Even though I do not fluff the roots as you can see in the photo below not much of  my scalp shows in the end. So, give it a try and  most importantly after a day's exposure to the elements give your hair some TLC. 

How often and how long do you wear your twists outs? What methods have worked for you in maintaining it?
