Thank you ladies for the nice compliments.
LOL, I actually tried that look a few days ago with a feathered choker necklace!
Sure I will. As a matter of fact, I will take pics while it's in its twisted state and post soon. I'm almost done with this straight style and need to go back to no heat styles anyway. I apply all products prior to braiding/twisting. My twistouts are always done in cornrow style in two rows with my hair parted across the middle horizontally. The number of twist usually average about 9. I roll the ends with Goody Satin Rollers.
The best way to describe it, I guess, is to say that I get a cleaner feel due to softer water, and it doesn't leave the residue of traditional showerheads. My skin doesn't look as ashey prior to applying lotion as in the past. It might be helpful to add that I've used natural soaps on my skin prior to getting the Jonathan showerhead, therefore, it must be the showerhead. The result on my skin are more obvious, but if I notice it on my skin, I could only imagine the benefit to my hair. I feel the benefits on my hair. The reviews on QVC and Sephora were beneficial in my decision to purchase it.
Not a dumb question...it doesn't hurt to ask
I'm relaxed, and stretch my relaxers about 22 wks or so. I texlaxed for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Hmm, I don't think the results would vary much, if at all because with the exception of Joico, all of my products are natural and have worked well for many natural ladies on this board. However, I've read that SheScentIt butters don't provide enough moisture for some natural ladies. My 3 year old DD is natural (4a) and those butters aren't exactly my favs for her. I use them to seal and they give my hair a healthy shine without the heaviness of some oils.
Nah, I could understand how that description might be a little difficult to understand. Lets see...I do part from ear to ear. I guess I should have said that the twists aren't loose. They're twisted to my scalp going back like French braids, but in two rows. I do it in two rows because as you get further back, it gets too thick and the twists aren't as defined. This method helps minimize tangles also. HTHPikiNiki, I'm having a hard time trying to visualize this. Do you mean you part from ear to ear? Or, are the two rows start at your forehead going towards your neck? But, you mention 9 twists. Where do they fit in with the two rows?
Sorry, if I'm being slow.
Thanks:blush3: I use Affirm No-Lye Sensitive Scalp (it's mild). I mix it with silk amino acids and olive oil. If you prefer bone straight hair, be VERY careful if you try this. I couldn't even begin to tell you how much to add because it has been experimental for me, lol! I added about a capfull of both and ended up texlaxed (on purpose).
No pics, but I'll do it again and take some to post.
It's hard to tell if the saa alone have made a difference because I just started adding olive oil to the relaxer as well. However, I plan to experiment with adding saa to my conditioners. I added saa to my relaxer with the idea that it's a very light protein with low molecular weight and softening properties. If the relaxer was going to penetrate my hair shaft, then I wanted it to take the saa with it, lol! I figured anything to minimize the harshness of the relaxer would be good. My texlaxed hair turned out really soft.
BRAVO! BRAVO!Ok, I think I gotcha! I typed out a whole confusing response just now until I actually walked myself thru it. Here is what I come up with.
1. Ear to ear part
2. Now, you have a top section and a bottom section.
3. You make cornrow twists going back towards your neck...in both the top and bottom sections.
4. Therefore, you end up with approx 9 cornrow twists.
TA DA...she finally arrives!!!
Did I get it right?
Thank you for helping me!
You got it exactly right! Please let me know how it turns out simplyhair! I get my best results the longer I stretch due to more volume. The more twists I add, the fuller it looks. Good luck
