Hi There!

How Do I Stretch My Hair to Prep for Dry Twists?

Dry Twists (Twists done on Dry Stretched Hair)

Whenever I want to show more hair length, twists on dry hair is definitely the way to go. When I do my twists on dry hair, my natural curl pattern has most likely already been stretched by:

      The Results of My 1 Year Wig/Protective Styling Challenge

You can make a LOT of progress in just one year. Just don't forget to take lots of pictures along the way...
