After wearing my hair in two-strand twists for usually about two weeks, I untwist the twists for another style called a “twist-out.” I normally wear this “twist-out” hairstyle for a week and then wash the hair and sometimes repeat the process. It is a fun style. I can wear it just as it is seen in the photograph, or separate them to create a more voluminous curly look. I often create so many styles with my two-strand twists all the way to when I loosen the twists for a “twist-out” and beyond. Oh, the versatility! I love it! Give it a try!
