Twist and Curl info

[ilovemy3bhairdoyou]

hey ladies im interested in trying this style unfortunately due to issue's with my pc i cant view curlynikki's pictourial. Is it as basic as it sounds?

 

[ilovemy3bhairdoyou]

bumpppppppp

 

[ilovemy3bhairdoyou]

anyone? i want to try it tonight

 

[Napp]

i didnt really read the tutorial but it seemed easy: just twist halfway and roll the rest on a roller. it might be more difficult for one who has thicker and coarser hair.

 

[ilovemy3bhairdoyou]

hmm can it be done on wet hair or is it dry hair only?

 

[Lucky's Mom]

go to www.curlynikki.com

 

[nappykat2000]

It was done on freshly washed hair in the tutorial.

OH I am sorry - I did not read that part...

Damp Hair - is how I do it....

Twist the entire head... then use small rollers to roll the last 3 inches or so...

That's it!

alright! guess we shall see in the morning

 

[~CurlyNikki~]

Let me know how it turns out! It's really simple, and the style should last for 3-4 days. I re-do twice a week.

The results will highly depend on your curl pattern and what products you use. If you have a very tight curl pattern it will not look exactly like Nikki's. Did you use hair clips at the roots? Try PM'ing Nikki, she is a member here.

ETA: Nevermind, I see Nikki posted.

 

[ilovemy3bhairdoyou]

nope didnt use the hair clips but ill will try it again shortly

How many twists, and what size rollers did you use?

 

[Lucky's Mom]

I make 16 twists ( of course, every head is different)

I part in four sections.... Four in each quadrant..........Use clips at the top of each twist........

then use rollers or perm rods on the ends.

I got good results sitting under the dryer for 1/2 an hour.

I attached my attempts.....

This is so true I do 20 twists, four sections of five and clip the roots only in the crown/frontal. I've had better results on damp hair (for me, anyway). I actually posted this on her blog this morning.

i made about 9 twist and used small rollers, imnot sure of their measurements though... i used to use them for my bangs when i rollerset

 

[AtlantaJJ]

Oh this will be a cute style for me when I get some more length!

 

[Eisani]

This was my first attempt on soaking wet hair:

This was the 2nd try after tweaking the directions a bit and doing it on damp hair, about 80% dry, not fluffed:

ETA: I think I have more pics on my camera, I'll look and see.

 

[ilovemy3bhairdoyou]

that looks great, i think i didnt do enough twist... plus maybe i didnt use a good product i used garnier curl and shine and it made my hair dry and a little rough

 

[bebegyrl802]

what do you do to keep this style up?

 

[ilovemy3bhairdoyou]

im not sure ill bump for you to get the answer

 

[Eisani]

If you check out Curlynikki.com, she gives tips on how to sleep and stuff. It may vary depending on hair length, but I just take one big super skinny hair tie and loosely pull my hair back then put on my satin scarf. I get up and shake it out in the morning and I'm ready to roll. It lasts that way for a couple days then I have to re-twist.
