So for the past few months I have been working out more regularly than I usually do - at least 3x a week. (Check out this previous
post for details.) That being said, I have come to terms with the reality that I have to up my washing frequency. Previously I could go as much as two to four weeks between washes, but now? Now, I'm going weekly at the maximum. I just cannot deal with the idea of having a sweaty, bacteria-laden scalp for much longer than that. I'm also not a fan of the witch hazel routine (though I kind of used to be) to keep washing at bay.
Anyway, with this new washing frequency, I cannot keep my twists in for longer than three weeks (or they'll lock up on me), but that's honestly okay and has worked out fine thus far. (I wore twists for about two to four weeks -- usually four -- with my previous regimen.)
And now for more hair pics:

Finger detangled, washed, conditioned, sealed, and stretched (via rollers).
Worn like this for a day or so, then re-twisted. |
