How To Twist:
- Use a comb or fingers to carefully part a section of hair--small-medium size; however big a section one prefers
- Comb through with wide-tooth comb for tangle free hair
- Apply about a quarter-sized amount of Shea mix to the section of hair
- Separate that piece of hair into two halves
- Begin twisting; gently intertwine each half with the other starting from the roots
- Continue until the section of hair resembles the photo above
- Follow the same procedure for the entire head
Twisting Level of Difficulty:
Fairly Easy
Amount of time Spent:
Depending on how large or how small sections are will determine length of time spent. However, the above took about 3-hours and a little bit and the sections were approximately medium-sized.
Long-lasting of Twists:
3 weeks and longer

Dear Charity,
ReplyDeleteThis is Joy Sole a Deeper Life member under the Southwest region and I live in Dallas Texas.
I was just thinking maybe you could make this hair cream and sell it to people like me that cannot make it themselves. This is a way to get a business started :)
