Wash And Sleep Style: Styling Wet Hair With 2 Twists To Create Curls


I love simplicity when it comes to washing and styling my hair.  This past weekend, I just wanted to create a wash and sleep style.  I was tired last Sunday night. "Why?";  because I washed and styled my daughter's hair Saturday evening.  On Sunday evening I just wanted to rest before I had to prepare for work on Monday morning.  What did I do? I washed and conditioned my hair, applied a leave in conditioner, some gel, and a small amount of castor oil.  I parted a side part, brushed it with my denman brush and flat twisted each side.  I then tucked the ends in the back in a loop and secured the ends with bobby pins.  


I placed a towel over my pillow case and then placed my satin lined cap (SLAP) on my head.  When I woke up the next morning my hair was completely dry.  I wore my hair in flat twists for the next 2 days.  I refer to my two twists as a sleep and go.  

On day 3 I took it down and enjoyed this twist out.

Lessons Learned:

-Wash and sleep styles are convenient when I need to wash and style my hair quickly.
-There's nothing quite as convenient as getting 2 styles for 1. 
-Overnight drying without having to diffuse or sit under a hooded dryer is amazing!
-Since our Spring weather is still fluctuating in the Chi, I turned my wall hung fireplace on low to keep me warm while my hair dried overnight.
-Twists are a great protective style.
