I only put moisturizer in my hair when I’m getting my two strand twist I avoid getting my hair wet because it gets frizzy and looks a hot mess. What should I do? I’ve been growing my hair for a year now.
Great question, when I don’t intend on wearing my styles for long periods of time, I’ll moisturize the hair with just oils.
I usually use coconut oil because it can both penetrate and seal. Avocado Oil is another great oil to use for moisturizing your hair, as it has a lot of vitamins and nutrients that can help with hair growth. Also, Olive Oil works well. It’ll soften the hair while also giving it a lot of shine.
When just using oils to add moisture to your hair, it helps maintain that neat fresh look you want to keep while also limiting the frizz and craziness that may come from wetting your hair. I suggest trying some of these oils out and seeing how it works on your hair.
@@MadeByMaj hey man, thid was really helpful, I’m like this guy and I try to avoid getting it wet cuz it looks frizzy and kinda worse compared to that fresh twist look, I was wondering, if I went a month without washing my hair after a twist out is that really bad? I got 4c btw
@@MadeByMaj Thanks bro for the gems of maintaining your two strand twist.
@@cidebites_og3250 no doubt 🙏🏾
@@verachez5319 it’s not necessarily bad. The important thing is you wanna make sure you’re keeping your hair and scalp healthy though. So it’s necessary to make sure you’re not depriving your hair/scalp of the moisture and nutrients it needs to grow and be healthy. I usually may do a co-wash half way through the month just to make sure my hair is staying on track.

Twist looks better to me with a little frizz. I wash and re twice every two weeks. Moisture every two/three days.
Yea I think it gives them a whole other look to rock with, I don’t mind a lil frizz either
Plz help me, does it cost too much to retwist every 2 weeks?

Love the video, thank you for the content. I gave the video a 👍🏾 . I have a question though, when I get my 2 strand twists they never last for more than a week without looking really frizzy and loose hairs popping up. How do I stop that from happening ? I really love the look but when my hair frizzes on top with the twists it doesn’t look yo good
Thanks bro, I preciate it🙏🏾 & yea I know what you mean. I try to keep my twist wrapped or under a bonnet when I sleep to prevent frizz. And I also try to not touch it a lot during the day. Sometimes a trim can help eliminate fly a ways as well.
Using a good mousse or setting lotion then laying a durag until dry will help the frizz for a day or two
@@chocolatecoils8200 wats a good mouusse to use?

No I do this about 2-3 times a week
U got perfect hair
Thank you 🙏🏾
@@MadeByMaj welcome… what state u in
New Subscriber 💯.... I am going to 2 strand my hair i want them skinny but not 2 skinny somewhat like yours but after while I'm going to let them loc up , would you recommend?
Preciate it🙏🏾 yea if that’s what you want to do I’d say go for it bro. That’d be a cool loc journey for you to begin
It’s hard to not touch my scalp and frizz up my hair when I wake up in the morning and mine are flat. My hair is medium length btw and there’s parts in my hair that are flat and I have to touch my hair and it ends up frizzing up and stuff faster
What do you do to protect them when you go to sleep?
Just make sure to wear a bonnet or durag and just pull/stretch the twists to help them not be flat anymore
Aye bro great video you gotta tell me the name of the instrumental at 2:30 I hear it on mike Tyson podcast lol it’s a very unique sound just wanna know where it came from
It’s called “Blow Thing” by The Brothers Records 🔥🔥
1 month bruh I redo my twist every 3-4 days 😂
😂😂😂
I heard that’s bad for your scalp doing it that often, might fuck up ur hairline, that’s what I heard tho
Excessive Retwist push back your hairline bro
@@verachez5319 Your not suppose to twist by your hairline tho. Leave some room for your barber
you got time den lmao
Man i wish u would've used the argon oil spray so i can see how it handles frizz🤔do a vid using the argon oil when u get a chance😆
Gotchu bro
@@MadeByMaj thanx😆
I just got 2 strand twist and I want to start my loc journey and I’m told I should start with starter locs is 2 strand twist the same as starter locs? When should I retwist and how often, how often should I wash it?, how often should I spray water on it
Two strand twist is good for locs and if you wanted to do something different do barrels they might itch a little bit but I’ve only had two strand and barrels and I’ve been locked for five months. That’s what I would recommend and washing your hair go a month without washing your hair after the re-twist and once you wash it after a month you can wash it however long you want to it doesn’t matter anymore. After that you can go to weeks three weeks or however long you want to go after that.
I get mine retwist every 2-3 weeks
That’s a good timeframe
Do u ever shampoo your hair as well? I have had mine for like a month and I’ve never washed em but just conditioned once a week. Does it make a difference?
Yea shampoo is really to cleanse your scalp. So unless my scalp feels real dirty and has a lot of buildup I don’t shampoo until that point. So it kinda just depends.
if you use leave in conditioner it’s gonna detangle and unravel your hair, just a heads up
depends on your hair, if you get leave in that’s right for your hair it shouldn’t do that
How would I maintain my twist I dont want my scalp to get dry or my twist to get frizzy what should I do ?
Get a spray bottle and put some tea tree oil, glycerin, and water in it. Use that to spritz your hair and rub it in your scalp. It’ll prevent dry itch scalp and help retain moisture while you wear the style. I usually spritz in my head daily in the morning.
Crazy we have the same hair texture but I use my homemade rose water to moisturize them instead
That’s dope, I’ve heard great things bout Rose water
I absolutely love the rose water 🌹 💦. Smell great and helps my scalp as well.
My scalp would be on fire in the evening if i added that much concoctions esp conditioner so close to the scalp 😭
Nice tutorial tho. Keep up the good work
@@TCt83067695 thank you!

Fasho 🙏🏾
What do you use to cover your hair when you're showering or bathing???
Get any shower cap
Yea any shower cap will be fine.
Do you do this every morning? And how often do you wash your hair?
Nah I do it about 2-3 times a week. I wash my hair about every month. I’ll cowash my hair about every 2 weeks
@@MadeByMaj what do you do when you co-wash? I want to be able to wash my hair without having to redo it
@@tylerramos5233 I use the “as I am” brand co-wash product. I just massage it in with my finger tips and then rinse it out after letting it sit for a few minutes.
How long does your hair need to be for two strand twists??
Damn that’s a good question. I would say at least a couple inches. Like enough to be able to grab and twist a couple times. 3-5 inches maybe 🤔
Brotha I’m gonna tell my beautician to do the curl twists because I want to try this style out. Now I own a family business that works outside doing landscaping work. I normally work 8-10 hours 6-7 days and work a part time gig at night. My question is will this keep hair in tact? And will I have to do this daily? Thanks in advance.
to avoid product build up, you can do this process every other day and not use as much products.
also seeing you work outdoors, invest in scrungies to keep your hair together and also a nice headband to stop excess sweat to get to your face
I agree. Tiring your hair back if it’s long enough or just wearing some protective cap like a durag while you will help keep them in tact. If you find that the hair is starting to feel dry then I’d do this routine. Rose water is a nice light product to spray on your hair that won’t create a lot of product build up.
Thank you good brothas, so much. I appreciate this vital information! 💯👍✌️
@@lionheart4529 anytime‼️
i’m 2years in, healthy, lengthy and strong 4c hair, i learnt a lot along the way🙌🏽
We got the same bottle and conditioner lol
Great minds think alike 😂
Water always shrink my twist so Not sure what else to use
Yea it’s kinda hard to avoid shrinkage completely
How often u do this ? And what about if you exercise everyday and sweat would u still do this routine everyday ?
I workout everyday, and I find doing this 2-3 times a week works best for me.
@@MadeByMaj ok thanks
I don't have a durag so I cover my head using a towel and I have to wake up with my twist bended and facing opposite ways how do I fix that problem?
If you can I’d recommend getting either a durag/scarf/bonnet. Those will help keep your twist laying flat while you sleep to avoid that bending your experience. A towel won’t help get the job done unfortunately, plus it will make the twist frizzy
Don’t use a towel. You can use an old T-shirt. But it’s definitely recommended to get a bonnet or scarf.
What if I have rubber bands in my hair ? Can I still wash and not break the rubber bands ?
Yea just gotta be more gentle/careful when you get close to them so you don’t accidentally slide them off
Hey bro do you section your hair off with bands before putting the bonnet on to sleep? Usually I just put the bonnet on and sleep but some people tell me it’s better to put my hair in 2 or 4 first
It prolly does help maintain your hair more but I personally don’t do that before putting my bonnet or durag on
@@MadeByMaj Alr appreciate it gng
Where’d you get that bonnet? Need me one like that
It was either from Walmart or a Sally’s
how do you do this without getting your hair too frizzy, especially maybe like a week after you got them done when they still look a little fresh? Preciate the tips boss
I do this mainly for when I’ve already had them in for a good minute. So they’re already kinda frizzy more so from the first week or two. You can still do this during that stage I’d just recommend not wetting the hair as much. Maybe just spritzing it enough to keep it moisturized with water and then oiling it to lock in that moisture
@@MadeByMaj I gotchu. One thing im having a difficult time with is whenever I wrap my head in the silky at night, I wake uo with sorta frizzy ends, although the top is okay/still fresh. How do you deal with that
@@adriano1309 getchu a bonnet that’s big enough to tuck all your twist in so the ends are protected to.
How in the world do you cope with the scalp itch after 2 months? I have to redo my twists after a week because my scalp needs to stay clean at all costs lol
Lol I feel ya. I do co-washes to help keep my scalp clean and avoid that itchy dirty feeling. They’re great cause they cleanse as well as moisturize your head
@@MadeByMaj thanks for the update! I was never allowed to have long hair growing up. Now that I am 31, I am trying for the 1st time and people like you have been a tremendous help!!! Love and light.
@@TheAlfredPlatform that’s dope, glad to hear. Thank you bro🙏🏾
@@MadeByMaj how often do you co wash bro?
@@dami1219 not too often. It depends but I’d say a range between 1-2 weeks for me
Can I wash my hair with shampoo and conditioner and then retwist my hair?
Yea👍🏾 just be gentle with
Yup I do it all the time
Should I do this every night or every 2-3 days
I wouldn’t recommend every night. I think every 3 days or so is a good range that’s worked well for me
Pulling or tugging them doesn't mess anything up? Just got mines...
Nah, you just can’t be rough when doing it👍🏾
Do you do it every morning even if you just got your hair done?
No this is really effective for when your hair has started to lose that fresh look after you got it done. Not something you have to do everyday
Do you have a tapered hairline? Do you need a tapered hairline when having 2 strand twists because I heard it makes your hairline recede if you don't? Or is that false and you do not need to have a tapered hairline for two strand twists
I do not. & you do not have to. It’s more of a preference. It adds a clean neat look, but it’s also another aspect to maintain and keep looking fresh.
@@MadeByMaj Thanks! Also if I were to get one to you recommend getting it before or after the haircut?
@@patleokoffi4992 most barbers will say to get the twist down first. This way they know what hair is left for them to fade and the rest is already up out the way.
@@MadeByMaj Okay, Thanks!
How many times a week should you wash your twist
I usually wash my hair once every 2-3 weeks
What do u do about dandruff?
Try to get your scalp from being dry. Good tip is to make sure you massage your scalp when washing your hair to increase the blood flow and use moisturizing products that aren’t drying your hair out.
how many times do you use these products combination on your hair in a week bro?? Thanks in advance
Prolly around 2 times if my hairs feeling really dry. Most weeks I can last with just doing it one day though
@@MadeByMaj thank u bro I just my two strand twist a week ago and I'm loving em. Most definitely gonna be apart of my look. Now I just gotta my drip on point 🤣💯
Will this work for someone who is very active doing wrestling and bjj everyday?
Yea, prolly be best if you can wear some protective covering over your twist. I used to have to do that playing football
@@MadeByMaj sounds good. I've been thinking about just tying them up before practice instead since a covering would most likely come off during wrestling practice
Should i wear a durag on one strand twist??
Yea that works👍🏾
Those the same twist from the previous video right?
Yes 👍🏾
How often do you put oil in your hair ??
Not very often, mainly just on wash days for me
is it ok if i just mix my wild griwth oil with water in a spray bottle and spray it to maintian my twists?
Oil and water don’t usually mix well. Prolly would be better off mixing a leave in conditioner in with the water instead. Then massage the oil in ya scalp to stimulate blood flow there for growth
@@MadeByMaj which leave in conditioner is best for 4c hair
@@dammy3985 any that moisturizes your hair well and keeps it soft. Shea moisture, aunt Jackie’s, etc
@@MadeByMaj thanks
Bro
What do you use if u don’t mind me asking?
I used all the products listed in the description in this video. Those are really my go tos tbh. Sometimes I try new stuff out just to experiment but mainly those
U do this once a day? Do u wash your hair with twists in
Not every day, if I was counting I’d say like once or twice a week now. Depends on how dry my hair and scalp is feeling. & I will co-wash my hair with the twist in if my scalp is in need of some moisture and cleansing. Will do that maybe 1-2 times with the style in. Depends if I’m leaving it in for a month or two
How long have you been growing out your hair for?
Just about 4-5 years now bro
@@MadeByMaj wow long time in the game. I had a feel since I have the same haircut. I’ve been growing mines for two years.
Can i shower fully with my twists
Yea just put a shower cap on if you want to avoid getting them wet
how many times a month do you run through this process?
Maybe 1-3 times bro
How do you keep em long cuz mine like to shrink up?
Put a clip at the end of them
Yea I agree with James B. That’s one way to use the weight of the clips and gravity to prevent them from shrinking up so much. Another way I’ve done if you don’t have clips is tried to pull them down from my durag when I go to sleep. The ends of them hang out stretch the parts closest to the roots, which helps with shrinkage. But clips would probably be the more effective option
@@MadeByMaj thanks bro 😎
Van You use eco styling gel instead of the pomade?
Yea you can. I don’t because it doesn’t work well with my hair
@@MadeByMaj ok thanks
how often should you do this
Maybe 1-2 times a week depending on how dry or ruff looking the twist are
He literally did it the lazy way and everybody like WOW😂‼️
How u gon say that like u have the golden solution n not share it? Lol. Nah but fr, plz share fam. We know it's levels to this.
What is it?
Hey bro do you let your hair get wet in the shower ?
Or nah
Nah, only when I do a co-wash. When I’m just taking a shower though I don’t let it get wet. Try to preserve the style as much as I can.
How do I keep blow outs from happening? My girl didn’t use rubber bands and a week later, twists start blowing out
I’m not sure I know what you mean by blow outs in this situation. Are you referring to how your roots look with the new growth of hair?
@@MadeByMaj blow outs as in the twists unravel half way out and look like mini fro puffs lol
@@Blzej23 ohh gotcha😂 yea mine used to do that too. I started focusing on keeping my twist tight all the way to the end of my hair until I can’t really twist it anymore. Once I’m at that point, I finger coil the ends and that seemed to have help solve that problem.
If not, then yea rubber bands can also help solve that problem. Just get to the end of the hair and wrap a small rubber band around it to keep it in shape.
There’s a method called “rope twisting” that you can use and it makes it really hard for your hair to unravel unless you do it yourself.
@@antwanjames5101 no cap, I like how those look. Might have to try them one day
How often do you detangle your hair
Since I usually have it in a protective style I detangle every time I’m taking it out. Which is usually every month
@@MadeByMaj ok that make sense I like to detangle my own hair so the lady’s at salon won’t yank out my hair because last time my scalp was itching I had to use itch scalp hair care by head and shoulders and scalpicin kinda help
You dont shampoo after this routine? When should I shampoo then?
Nope, I shampoo my hair when I’m ready to take the twist out. Cause I want to start new with fresh clean hair for whatever style I do next. So I would suggest shampoo when you feel your hair is too dirty and you’re ready to take them out.
Thank you for the guidance!
I have a question after you put the stuff on your hair. Do you put on your durag??
I do if I’m finna chill in the crib or got to bed. Partly because it presses down some of the frizz. If I’m going out right after though nah
@@MadeByMaj ok another question when I go to school and shower and put my stuff on my hair and when I come back from school do you put the stuff on your hair again??
@@zay2000_ nah I don’t do this multiple times in a day. At most every other day but really I’d say I do it 2-3 times a week
@@MadeByMaj ok another question is there a type of shampoo you use for twists
@@zay2000_ nah nothing in particular for twist. Just the same I would use in general
Hey man i just got my twists do you sleep with a bomnet on or just normal?
use a bonnet to prevent breakage and drying
@@yoursshane Thank you! i got one cantu one but its too small or is it meant to be tight around your hair?
@@TheSTr8Gunner When you have twists, I would recommend something more fitting because you want to keep your twists neat. But if it's suffocating you, get something bigger but won't fall of wile you're sleeping. You might even want to try a head scarf that you can tie like a bandana. And you can even put a bonnet on top of that. Your local black beauty supply will have a bunch of cheap options you can try. Find what works for you. Good luck! Sorry this was long lol
@@yoursshane I appreciate that my guy!
Yours is actually called comb coils or finger coils
Just got them done today but a lot shorter lol. How often do you do this and do you wear a Durag at night, if not what do you wear at night/ during the day?
Dope! I usually do this 1-2 times a week. Depends on how dry my hair gets. I’ll either wear my durag or bonnet at night, mainly bonnet. During the day I’ll let my hair breathe unless I’m laying down.
@@MadeByMaj ahh thanks bro, really helpful you reply to all the comments. I forgot to confirm but do you wear a shower cap when you shower or you let your hair get wet?
@@jeffolay8680 I put my hair up so it doesn’t get wet. But you just reminded me I should go cop a shower cap lol😂
@@MadeByMaj thanks bro 😂😂
Do you wash it out afterwards?
No I don’t
How often you do this
About every 3 days or whenever I feel like my hair is getting to dry
do you shampoo your twists?
I usually only cowash them. I’ll shampoo if it’s in need of a good cleansing, however I’m usually taking the twist out by that time.
if you want to receive Jesus and be saved, repeat this with me and baptize yourself in Jesus' name. Lord Jesus. I admit that I am a sinner. I need and want your forgiveness. I accept your death as a punishment for my sin and acknowledge that your mercy and grace are a gift you offer me because of your great love, not based on anything I have done. Clean me and make me your child. Through faith I receive you in my heart as the Son of God and as the Savior and Lord of my life. help me from now on to live for you, with you in control. I want to ask forgiveness for all the sins I have committed in Jesus' name, I pray amen
AMEN
Amen brother

Amen, greetings from Venezuela
how often do you do this? is it daily or weekly
Usually I’ll do this 1-2 times a week. Depending on how long I’ve had them in and how dry the hair may be.
@@MadeByMaj and how often u wash it
Do I do this every morning
Nah, I’d do it when ya hair starts to feel a lil dry like it needs some added moisture. You can spritz some water on your head every morning though and that will help keep your hair fresh.
