Question: Is it possible to wash Senegalese twists on a weekly basis without it loosening dramatically?
Answer:
Traditionally washing Senegalese twists on a weekly basis in my opinion is not advisable because it will result in frizz, loosing them and/or causing matting at the root. There are dry shampoos that you can use and/or an apple cider vinegar (ACV) mix. I usually use 1 part ACV and 2 parts water. Spray the roots with this mixture and rub it in with a dry face towel using your index finger between each row. After doing so, spray the shaft of the hair and pat to dry. To re-moisturize use a spray leave in and oil, you should feel a world of a difference.
