Question:
What's the difference between twisting your hair and twirling it around your finger?
Answer:
The difference between twisting and curling is that twists actually set your hair in a defined, spiral pattern. Twirling a curl around your finger helps reinforce and define the curl in it's own natural pattern. So with twists, if you let them dry and untwist them, you will have a more set look, which is more or less even. With curling around your finger (or defining a curl by running your fingers down it), you are emphasizing your own natural curl pattern. So you will see more variety in the types of curls you get (since many of us have all different sizes and shapes of curls on our head).
Which one you do is up to what you prefer. I like to wear my own curls in their own curl patterns, so I define by smoothing each curl, but my mom loves a set look (she puts her hair in braids to set it).
However, I highly recommend twists or braids if you are growing out a perm, and you are needing to hide the two very different textures.
