Relaxed hair means straight hair ALL the time.....Um, NOT!!

[Duff]

Duff Cute! Do you do anything special when setting your twists? I never knew relaxed hair could be twisted effectively..

thank you!!!
all I did is mix my leave in and my moisturizer, add in sections and twisted that section. I would roll up the ends cause I dont want to have hair hanging out of the scarf and then go to bed. I untwist in the morning and fluff to make frizzy with my hands and mold in a puff. a frizzy puff means bigger hair for me. I have fine hair.

I love the french braids! Part of my inspiration for growing my hair out is beautiful, long French braids.

What kind of hairsticks do you use? Did you buy the one in that picture online or locally?

 

[divachyk]

Solitude - I buy hairsticks locally - BSS mostly. My coworkers purchased some decorative chopstix from an Oriental restaurant as a parting gift for me. They were made for eating but um, I used them in my hair. They knew I enjoyed bunning so they figured I'd use them in my hair vs. eating.

bump i need some ideas

 

[divachyk]

@Napp - what kind of styles are you thinking and/or feeling?

 

[Napp]

divachyk i want to wear my hair loose 90% of the time so i would like to see some more loose styles

 

[divachyk]

Napp - I use to wear my hair out daily. I wrapped it at night and wore it loosely hanging in the day. I enjoyed it. I started battling hormonal acne so that's when I started protective styling. My face has cleared but I prefer to keep my hair out of my face for safekeeping. When I wear my hair down, I will let the majority of it hang and pin up the sides so that it isn't hanging in my face.

I'm 1.5 weeks post and did henna Wednesday at 1 week post and haven't done anything but 2 large Bantu knots with Aussie 3 min as leave in and sealed with sunflower oil. Quick and easy. I airdry overnite and do bantu knots nightly. Here's day 3 hair.

I left one at the top like a bun with a hairstick and let the back down. Been out all day and it behaved. LOL!

Nice pictures you guys and thanks for sharing.

Now I wish I had something to share because I've been wearing box braids for almost 2 years and don't know how to use the braids to create a perfect bun. Anyway I'll be rid of them soon and still won't be able to do anything as complicated as some of the styles I see depicted here.

I am having tons of fun with my hair! i dont know why people say you cant go from straight to curly the next day with relaxed hair.I havent had bad hair day since i relaxed! and i have a new style/variation everyday. i am very pleased with my decision.i havent enjoyed doing my hair in so long.

oOoOh! Very pretty! Your hair looks so healthy!

Question: with the Bantu knot out, did you twist the hair first and then twist it around into the knot? Also, how many knots did you have?

Thanks!
