Twist/braid/bun For Growth Challenge 2017 (no Extensions)

[toaster]

I spent an hour finger detangling my hair. She used a lot of product to set my hair so it's all sticky. Yuck.

I took down my mini twists yesterday, combined them and then twisted them loosely to make my twists look fuller. The struggles of having fine strands and low-medium density.

I know. I have normal strands and medium density and my twist still look scraggly. I'm hoping some length will help

It's been a week. I'm just taking twist down 1 by 1, reapplying twist cream and twisting them back up. Going to keep them in until next weekend. Not sure if I'm going to do 2 strands again or switch to flat twist.

My low-mani style till next Saturday. Six flat twists on previously rollerset natural hair.

I was trying to dupe this style:

I love that style. It's simple but still stylish.

Very nice.

Used the SM Fruit Fusion shampoo and conditioner yesterday. It's nice but the difference is the low porosity shampoo & conditioner leaves my hair shiny while this line left it dull but soft.

I didn't add anything, just washed conditioned, rinsed and put it in 4 braids to dry. Today I spritzed with water used the low porosity leave in and Qhemet AOHC to moisturize. My hair is in 10 braids now I think. Tomorrow I'll either put in 2 braids or a bun using gel.

I have been bunning all week. I will wash tomorrow.

I'm in mini braids until the first week of February, I'm loving the styling ease

1. What is your primary style (twists, braids, bunning, etc.)? Bunning on freshly relaxed hair and braids after 4 weeks post relaxer.

2. What is your style maintenance regimen? I wash and DC my hair once a week. I wear my hair in a bun or braids for work. At night I moisturise and seal in those braids. I'm in the inversion challenge so for 7 days I also oil my scalp and massage my hair and then invert for 5 minutes.

3. Are you natural, relaxed, transitioning? Relaxed

4. What do you hope to achieve from the challenge? I want to have healthy hair and scalp and hopefully reach BSL.

5. How often will you restyle your hair? Every Sunday.

6. Include Starting Pic.

My hair idols are on this thread, so happy!

I twisted my hair on Friday and will leave them in for two weeks.

 

[Evolving78]

Cowashed and got hair bunned in a large clip. Got my scarf on since it's cold and I'm wearing a hat! In and out all day!

 

[faithVA]

I took out my 2 strand twist and shampooed. I put in my usual flat twist. I will keep them in until the weekend. I need to color this weekend.

@faithVA my hair is in a ratty bun again, but this time I have an excuse. Went from urgent care to the ER last night. I have a kidney and urinary tract infection. Yuck. Staying home from work today and if I have enough energy to sit up I'll detangle my hair.

Hope you feel better soon. @toaster

My hair is currently in 8 braids and am spraying it with a braid spray every night and moisturising my ends with an African pride cream and sealing with coconut oil. Every weekend I plan to take them down, wash, DC and put them back.

@toaster Well wishes for a speedy recovery!

Can you drink lemonade?

Ooh that sounds delicious. I think I'll make some right now.

@toaster feel better!

For ladies who primarily wear 2 strand twists, do you have any you tube videos you like for beginners? I'd like to be able to install medium 2 strand twists in a way that I can then bun. I work in an office setting where loose twists wouldn't be appropriate but a bun would. Thanks!

 

[beauti]

I finished my twists last night. I will keep them in a bun this whole week until wash day since they are pretty lubed up.
