HOW do you create a TEXTURIZED LOOK on 4A/B hair WITHOUT CHEMICALS???

[winniebread]

I really liked the look of my hair when I had a texturizer; however, once I got a retouch my healthy hair days were over. My hair is almost back to healthy now but I miss the texturized curly look. Does anyone know how this can be created on 4a/b hair without using chemicals ... just using regular products???

If you have a curl pattern you should be able to shingle with some type of gel/pudding to get it to look that way. If not, a braid out or twist out should work.

Yep. Shingling will probably get you closest to the look you're going for.

i'd say do twistouts, that gives a funky curly pattern

What is shingling?

Water and grease? Try Blue Magic or Nature's Blessing.












I'm only half kidding. That's what my uncles do, lol.

Im not getting the question- you are 4a/b and want it to look straight?
Or are you looking for curl definition?
www.missjessies.com has shingling instructions. You can also do this with Fantasia IC or look on the recipe boards for the curly pudding recipe

You can flexirod set. that can really give a defined curl if shingling (sp) doesn't work.

Hmmm...shingling. I went to the site and checked it out. It sounds like I will have fun experimenting with this. I will see if I can figure out a low maintenance way to get my hair like that.

Thank you ladies.

If anyone else knows of any other products that could help and/or advice, please let us know.

I'm just posting so I can subscribe to this thread. This is good info! I was wondering what "shingling" was. Thanks.

One member once told me that she used curling creams (Miss Jessies) and Carefree Curl spray. Make sure your hair is sopping wet.
