Asha- Gotta share your routine! Here are a few questions that have gotta be answered:
What products do you use?
How many twists did you do for your twistout? Were they wet or dry? Did you leave your twists in for a while?
How long is your hair now?
Darnit- just tell us your regimen/routine. I am a newly napp myself. I cut my hair in February after 1 year and 4 months of transitioning,so you have gotta share the wealth!

I'm not sure how many twists I had in these pics, but the twists were amost a week old and were done on dry hair.

Believe it or not, I'm still perfecting my routine. I notice that as my hair gets longer, things change. I shampoo once to twice a week and deep condition once every two weeks. These days, I keep my hair mostly in twists.
HTH!

I agree with everyone else. Your hair is gorgeous! I would love to have a haircut like that. Did you get it cut at a salon or do it yourself? If you went to a salon, did they straighten it first? Did you show them a picture of what you wanted?

Okay - your hair is slammin'!!!
How often do you press your hair? Do you blow dry it/roller set? do you use the pressing comb or flat iron it?
PLEASEEEEEE share...this natural is at the verge of a texturizer/relaxer...but reading your post may save me!!!:O)
Please share your regime also.
Thanks!

Asha,
How do you stop your roots from being puffy? I just did my first twist-out Friday night. My roots are nice and smooth when I do a braid-out, but I'm looking like Puff the Magic Dragon near the scalp! I re-wet and re-twisted a few sections of hair last night and held the roots w/small metal duck-bill hair clips which did help. What do you do?
Thx in Advance,
~sengschick

Wow! Thank you Ladies! Thank you very much!
Isis913, yes...I twist to the ends.
Natural_Girl, I press my hair every two or more months. This summer I'm going to go without pressing and wait until fall. Also, I use the pressing comb when I press.
As I've mentioned earlier, I don't have a set regime.but as of lately I wear twists 97% of the time. I do wash my hair once to twice a week and deep condition every two weeks.
Sensgchick, I know what you mean...I get puffy roots as well, so I had to get use to it, especially during the hot and the high humidity months. I like it. It seems to add character to my style. You may not be able to tell in the pics that my roots are puffy, but they are...trust me. LOL!!!
Again, to all, BIG thanks!!!

ETA:
I have noticed with my intake of MSM, Flaxseed oil and my hair vitamins, that my new growth comes in a lot smoother/softer, which may contribute to the lack of/or not of the puff factor.
