Army Twists with Suave

As a military spouse, I don't have any restrictions to my hair styles.  Well except the ones self imposed by my errand days. And those days are just a simple high bun or ponytail depending on the state of my hair.

In honor of Veteran's day, I teamed up with Suave to do a military inspired hair style.  Now, as a woman of color with natural hair I was afraid I wouldn't be able to do anything without heat or weave.

However, after doing some research I found that the army, air force, and the navy do allow two strand twists after initially considering them unauthorized. So here are my army inspired twists:

Before I washed my hair....craziness lol

 

I began my twists with a wash and condition. I used Suave's Sea Minerals Moisturizing Body Shampoo and Conditioner.  I loved the smell of these products.  Since I live a block from the beach, it smells like I stepped outside.

 

 

A while back, I saw a YouTube video about using a tea shirt to dry your curly hair.  It helps to tame frizz and we all no that is a battle.  Even though it is Veteran's days, I usually use my husband's PT shirt. I use the long sleeve ones since he doesn't need them in Hawaii.  But today this was what was clean and he didn't need it since it was his day off ;-)

 

 

I used the Suave Luxe Style Weather Proof Cream to do my twists. Control over natural hair is important, and even more so when you are in uniform.

 

While I am obviously not in the army (don't want to offend anyone), just wanted to show you the finish product with my husband's hat.
