3. Two Strand Twists: DiscoveringNatural, a busy mother of two girls likes to wear her hair in two-strand twists during the week, because they keep her hair stretched, moisturized and tangle free during the week. On the weekends when she has more time, she would take down her twists so that she could wear fabulous twist-outs all weekend.
Morning Routine: Spritz with a homemade DIY spritz ( a spray bottle with water, olive oil* and leave-in conditioner*) to moisturize your hair every few days. To style, you can either tuck and pin the twists away or you can just wear them out.
Evening Routine: Wrap hair at night to keep hair in place
4. Flat Twists: Similar to the two-strand twists, flat twists keeps the hair stretched, defined and tangle free. What I like most about flat twists is that they leave the hair feeling smooth and soft when its taken down, and unlike two-strand twist-outs, flat twist-outs allows you to wear a BIG “out” style when taken down, without needing to over fluff.
Morning and Evening Routine: Similar to the two-strand twists. You can also brush up your edges every few days using a boar bristle brush.
5. Afro Puff: If you have shorter hair, the four listed hair styles above might not be suitable for your hair length. And so, if you’re a busy mom on the go with a TWA hair length, you can instead opt for a simple afro puff. To switch up your look, just add a cute accessory such as a scarf, headband* or flower.
Morning Routine: Spritz hair with a leave-in hair spray such as the Alikay Naturals Lemongrass Leave-in conditioner* and fluff your hair with your fingers.
Evening Routine: Cover hair with a satin bonnet* to protect your hair at night.
Now back to you, what hair styles do you like to wear as a busy mom on-the-go?
Best tip for natural hair is to do your hair the night before!
