I found that the longer my hair got, the more beneficial stretching is. I started with a TWA, now I'm just about waist length. When I tell you less is better, less is better. The detangling process is maddening but if isn't done often and intentionally the matting is brutal. Almost locd. I would try stretching for sure.

I wash my daughter's hair in twists every week. I use an applicator bottle for shampoo and her scalp gets very clean. Her hair is waist length now. Twists are the only thing we do now. They work.

Phew child! So relieved to hear your were able to save your hair after it matted. Was legit praying for you.

You look pretty with all those twists! It’s a good look on you!

I was against putting my hair in twist to wash it, but as it got longer, it’s worth the time it takes me to put it in twist and then wash it. Right now I have my hair in twist.

I wash, deep condition, and detangle after deep condition with my hair in twists. I am happy the suggestions helped with your matted roots.

I do this 99 percent of the time. It’s easier for me and make washing day more manageable. Also it helps with the thinness at the ends. I’ve been washing it in twists for a year and you can see the year of thickness by the roots vs the stringy ends. Game changer!!!

Stunning style!! When my hair used to be longer I always used to wash in twists! I tend to retain the partings (keeping the roots braided) when I do a braid-out or twist-out! This keeps my roots from matting! I saw this on Jostylin and Naturally High her channel! I also believe that you can always wash in braids or twists❤️😘

Happy that you were able to get your hair unmatted! Thank goodness for your mom and sister. There is nothing better than saving time washing your hair! So much gorgeous hair and the twists really work. I’d love to see you experiment with styling them. Great video! Happy to see you💚💗

I literally just starting doing this method back in July! I used to wear my fro out a lot, but I started to neglect it by shoving it up into a matted puff. I finally decided to do mini twists and instead of taking them out, I just washed my hair like normal, moisturize the twist, and went about my day. I only re-do my twists when it starts to get all unraveled. That changed my life lol. I do miss my fro styles, but I know this is way healthier for my hair and manageable for my lifestyle. Plus, this method helped me retain soooo much length.

Thanks for making this video! I wash my hair in twists all the time, it saves me so much time detangling on wash day. We big chopped around the same time and my hair is about the same length as yours. I've also found that at this length wearing my hair in an afro or high puff is more of a one day luxury maybe a little longer if I detangle before bed each night. But detangling everyday creates its own problems, like breakage due to over manipulation. It's reassuring to see that it's not just me that's found it impractical these days.

I'm going to try this . I wear twist often as a protective style !

I’ve done this in the past with my natural hair braided. The braids stay in place better for me without unraveling

Would you ever loc your hair? Your locs would be insane!

Look at that gorgeous hair! I'm so happy for you. Beautiful twists!

If l wear a high puff for weeks, l still need to get in there and gently fingers detangle with a little oil weekly. And then put it back in the high puff, Or yes it will knot up pretty badly. The longer it gets your wash routine changes.

Your hair is so thick and healthy looking! Keep up the great work!

Thank you for sharing this video of your hair journey in twists! It looks beautiful!!! Protective styles are just another way to show the versatility of our hair. I do wash my hair in twists from time to time and re-twist it too. It is quicker! I agree a second shampoo may be needed but you'll determine and share that in an update to us! Happy wedding!

looks great! stretching is key and really helps in the long run. i cant believe the wedding is finally here. cant wait to hear all the fun details. have a great time and i wish you all the best! thanks for sharing sis!

Cannot wait for the furniture project vids ❤

Your hair is absolutely gorgeous! I have been washing and conditioning my hair in twists for years. I wouldn’t know to wash my fro out of the twists at this point.

This is my method every week but I double cleanse like you mentioned wanting to do. The longer my hair gets, the faster my wash day goes. I mix up and freeze many batches of deep conditioner and my own hair butter. So glad you were able to finish quickly.

The furniture is beautiful. And I love your hair. Please don't stop creating content.

Great video, totally plan on trying this more often! Congrats on getting married next month, we look forward to seeing your wedding video! 😉

Good job on the drawer.

Can you do some new wash & go videos, some deep conditioning videos and more wash days & i want to see more product reviews like as i am, shea moisture lines', camille rose, curlsmith & & maybe even briogeo???? Please do. I have a hard time finding product reviews or wash & go's from you because alot of your videos have gel reviews' blow dryer reviews and "how to" hair styles videos. Alot of us are struggling with finding the correct products especially nourishing conditioner, deep conditioner, hair masks, & leave ins etc., also struggle with matted hair, single strand knots, length retention, & want to learn how you & others refrain away from getting breakage, speed up the growth process ❤. Love to see more deep conditioner product reviews, leave ins, growth oils, rinse out conditioners, & wash & go videos + a detangling with me video & length check!!

Hair is really growing looks great.

Simply Beautiful! I can't wait until you have kids & style their hair 😍 Great vlog @Joy-el

I love this style on you! I am #teamtwists for sure! I’m almost half way through the video now. Do you have the video of the dematting? I’d love to see how your Mom and Sis did it 😮😛

When I wash my hair in twist it seems to get clean to me. Lol. I use a clarifying shampoo that doesn’t dry my hair out. When I untwist it to style it seems clean and moisturized.

Nice!. Try washing and conditioning your hair in two halves as well! We have similar hair type and length. that helps me! I love the black products from twist! I also have a list of five hairstyles that I will be repeating cause my hair is long now too. Wash and go is the least preferred cause the matting and single strand knots are real!

3:45 You are enchanting and gorgeous

when l first seen Joy-el, l was why this white girl got on an Afro Wig, she super Beautiful, seeing both her parents l know better, l should both my son are Bi-racial, am black and their dad, Native American

Joyel I wash my hair in twists every 2 weeks and I use a scalp massager to really get the dirt and build up off my scalp. The twist usually don’t come out if you’d like to try that

Ur hair looks gorgeous in this video. I would love to see ur hair in mini twist! Like make each of the twists in this video 4 twists 😅 its a lot but i promise it’s worth the effort, maybe start with this still so u get a break lol….i think it would look gorgeous. That’s my fav stretched protective style and my hair does not tangle or mat ( as long as my ends aren’t bad). Congrats on ur wedding!

Oh boy, I was wishing you would have filmed the dematting process. I'm glad you got it all detangled. Now, don't do that again and I'm also thinking about keeping my hair in a stretch State maybe more with heat. Saving up for the Revair reverse air hair dryer.

I am going through this phase also, where I need to twist it up. My hair is getting longer and tangles so badly, so I know exactly what you mean.

Have good video! Have you thought about getting locs or micro locs. Less maintenance?

Thank God you got your hair dematted. I didn't know you can twist your hair and wash . TFS

Im so scared to wash my hair in twists now. The last time I did my hair got matted. I had the twists in for 3 weeks prior to washing them so maybe that is why. I have fine thick hair that "webs" easily along with 3 weeks of shed hair- that is probably what caused it. I take twists out and finger comb to remove some of the shed hair first now.😄

This is how I’ve been wearing my hair too 🥰

I was waiting for this update! I'm glad you were able to get your hair detangled! The twists look cute a d full too. Have you thought about beads? I recently put some in and find it very fun and simple to do. Not sure how was day will go though. Can't wait for the next video! Will you have a videographer for the wedding? Are you doing your hair for it? My husband and I will be planning a wedding in the next couple of years and I want to wear my hair natural so I'm curious as to what you decide on because we have a really similar texture.

You made me get up, take my bonnet off and band it real quick like FINE! LOL

Your hair has gotten so long❤

My hair is very similar. I just went through the same thing also my hair is in twist at the moment.

I heard about washing in twists a decade ago but it doesn’t work well for me. One my hair is very dense and I washed getting down enough into my scalp and two the water pressure would undo my twists., But I do some detangling when I wash every 3/4 days. I pineapple too.

I’m so glad your hair was able to be unmatted and untangled. My hair is nowhere near your length but I wear my hair in twists often, it’s my protective style. How long will you grow your hair? It has grown SO fast and SO long…..jealous.

I keep my hair stretched from the roots, with hair ties then braid or twist

Have you tried honey masque ?

My only issue with washing my hair in twists is I don't get the dirt or product properly of that's in the twists

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

I recognize those color swatches on the wall...LOL... looks like my living room was looking a month ago..

Hey after having a chemical treatment from a salon. I'm facing obsene amount of hairloss. My hair were severly damaged. I have seen dermatologists. They are prescribing minoxidil. However, I'm looking for natural remedy. I can see hair growth after 4 months. But continues shedding is also there. It has triggered chronic talogen effluvium. Have you come accross anyone who faced this. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks

😍

I always think im not washing my hair good enough or the conditioner is not getting each strand if i keep it in twist

Okay don’t know how I got here but I’m here

💛💛💛💛💛🙏

How long does it take you to twist? I want to start doing my own but idk if I can do it myself :(

U have an entrepreneural vision to b your business owner Soon 😀

Do you know how many twists you had?

Blessing Congratulations!! 🇵🇷🌴👙👣💋 ISLANDGIRL

For a lazy person like me, if i have your kind of hair, i will probably just be bald

who are you getting married to? we want to see the husband!
