Very pretty. And you had good hang.

What products did you twist your hair up with?

 

[Khaiya]

faithVA - i only put some scurl in it, i guess its so defined cause i had the twists in for about a week, then i just pulled them out and wore it like that for the day, gonna wash and DC today.

Khaiya, that twistout is awesome! Please share how you created that style.

 

[NikkiQ]

Yup...I'm going buy some S-Curl TODAY!!! That twist out is to die for Khaiya

I've just been moisturizing and sealing (when i'm not too lazy) as usual, i moisturize with S-Curl and seal with some butter i bought locally, Moringa-Tea Tree Butter. Haven't put anything additional in my hair.

Well yall are doing better than me b/c my twist outs NEVER look like that Not even on a good day.

 

[pookaloo83]

Ok here's one that was super defined

2 separate twist outs. I know how to get them like that again, but I have to keep them in at least a week.

[pookaloo83]

Hmmm I'll have to try one day lol

And because the twists are smaller the twist out lasts for a week without retwisting. All I do is just grab big sections and put like 5 or 6 twists on my whole head to maintain.

I have never worn twistouts so forgive me.

You have to wear them twisted for a week before you can enjoy the twistout?

 

[NikkiQ]

These are a few of my somewhat successful twist outs. As you can see, I need all the help I can get lol

No. Its just that the longer they are in, the more they will look defined when untwisted.

Compare this overnight twist out to the others I posted. This has more frizz. and not enough hang.

Nikki it looks like you twirl your twists then you twist. Do you? That may be why too. I noticed I was kind of twirling it and I stopped.

I did the last time (pic with bow in my hair) but not the other times.

 

[faithVA]

So far that is the only type of twist out I have worn, is one where I have had my twists in for a week. That gives me a week of twists and at least 3 days of a twist out. I just throw my bonnet on at night. My twist outs don't puff that way and they are well moisturized.

My hair is too short to use less twist and have my twist out look as good.

So those that can do a twist out with just a few twists -- kudos.

 

[Khaiya]

I wear a lot of twists anyway, for a week at a time or more, its my favorite style so I usually do them pretty small, 50-60 sounds about right to me, then when I pull them out I don't separate each section, just leave it alone. I've never tried a twistout with big twists, don't think that would work for me, mayb flat twists would work.

Your hair is getting longer now, so maybe bigger twists may work. But I understand what you mean. But I think it would be cute on you even if its not so defined

My bestie is asking me how I'm gonna wear my hair and she prefers for me to wear my natural hair. AHHHhhhhhhh!!! Idk what to do!!

I think that's great. You can jazz it up with accessories.

Gonna try to come up with some ideas for a cute updo from either a stretched twist out or MAYBE a flexi rod set

 

[itsjusthair88]

I have been wearing a reverse plait and a little section of twist out in the front (it's WAY prettier than it sounds lol) and today I had to do something to it because it was starting t get rough, so I decided to wear a ONE day WnG (I am never going to be a chronic WnG wearer, it caused my some serious setbacks) until I can detangle and twist and I was soooooo excited to see how much hair I have, so I took a pic!

I have been whining about my hair and I guess it just needed to show out today, for comparison, here is a pic from the same WnG in September 2011, about 7 months ago:

YAY GROWTH...that's all lol

NikkiQ

get a flat twisted updo and wear a flower if you can

 

[NikkiQ]

^^^she said no flowers since she's wearing one. I showed her a few headbands with really cute bows so she likes that. I'm leaning towards a flat twist in the front leading into a flexi rod set in an updo. Idk yet. Gotta figure it out though. I only have 2 weeks until the wedding.
