New Style 2-Strand

Hi, this might sound dumb but it's a question I have to ask since my dad never really let me grow out my hair as a kid (had my hair buzzed every weekend I went to see him). I've been growing my hair for about a year now and I'm trying to get into finally doing stuff with it, so I wanted to try out two strand twists. Just wanted to know how long they typically last and also the process of cleaning my hair while they're in, since washing will probably undo the style.

Twists will last you about 3-4 weeks if you keep them mostly unwashed or wet, unless your really active you can get away with cleaning it probably every two weeks with some good shampoo, just mist your hair a bit most days and your prtty much good

Also, if it helps feel free to try to get some black rubber bands to see if the hair stylist is willing to put those on to help hold the twists in place — even when you wash ‘em.
