Do Two Strand Twists Cause Hair Loss? the Real Truth About Tension and Alopecia
By Sophia Al-Mansoor
When twists reach the end of their lifecycle around week four, unraveling them incorrectly can cause substantial damage. Ripping dry twists apart shreds cuticles and pulls hair out from healthy follicles.
A measured twist out routine begins by misting the hair lightly with a water-based refresher spray, followed by coating your fingertips in a few drops of argan or jojoba oil. Slowly separate each twist starting from the bottom tip, moving upward toward the scalp. The oil creates immediate surface slip, preventing individual coils from knotting around adjacent strands. Once separated, use a wide-toothed pick solely at the roots to lift volume without combing through the defined curl ends. This technique delivers expansive texture while shielding fragile ends from unnecessary friction.
