Does anybody have twist-out pics that I can see?

[Vshanell]

I'm gonna try my first twist out within the next few days and I need some inspiration. Please either post your pics here or post the link. Thanky

Oh and it would help if you posted how many twists you did, what products and all that good stuf.

Check my fotki. I belive I have some pics in there of a twist out. My hair was much shorter then than it is now, but you'll get the idea of what a twist out looks like. They are beautiful! You may just have to retwist them at night to keep the waves/curls fresh.

I can't remember what I used in those pics but in general I straighten my hair first in a rollerset, then I twist it w/ some moisturizer and a little light gel like SHINE. I usually do about 8 or so twist cornrows with curler on the ends. I let the hair dry (from the gel/moisturizer) overnight. Then in the morning when I untwist them I put some oil or serum on my fingers before untwisting the twists. This helps to reduce/eliminate the frizz as the twists come down.

I don't have pics of the twists but I have some of the end result. The pics were taken when my hair was a little shorter than it is now and my twistout was a few days old. (Hence, the crazy looking endserplexed)

I make sure I use some Elucence MB as my leave-in then, I comb my hair. Next, I use some Motions Foaming Wrap Lotion on each section before I twist it going back. I find that this helps my twist out last longer. I always do 6 twists going back. On the end of each twist, I put a flexi rod and then sit under the dryer for about an hour. If I do my twists at night, I dry for about 45 min. under the hooded dryer and then leave them in overnight. When I unravel the twists, I usually apply some coconut oil to add some shine.

After a few days, if my hair is starting to look frizzy I use some Garnier Fructis curling mousse. Hope this helps!

That came out pretty. So you do the twists going back like cornrows vs. the individual loose ones? I didn't think of doing it like that......hmmm.

I think I got the right pic.....is it in your protective styles album? Thanks for your tips. I was wondering what to do with it at night. I guess I'll have to experiment a bit.

Ok, thanks ladies. I checked everybody out and yall are looking good. Anymore cuz I'm doing this tonight.......

 

[ClassicBeauty]

I don't have any pics, but I've done 2 strand twist outs that are almost just like a braidout but curlier. I've also done the bantu knots and taken them out. (That takes much longer to dry.) Your hair will be gorgeous regardless.

 

[theAlist]

Yes I have plenty of pics...my hair is not as long as yours...by any means....but here are some pics anyway

I love that! It's georgeous. So how many twists did you do? I want big waves so I guess I'll do larger ones.

Thank you. Your hair looks great. I really love that last pic.

I probably did anywhere between 12-16 twists. I never even gave any thought to doing them larger. I'd just gotten into the habit of doing them small, but that's a great idea! I think I'll give that a try.

 

[Vshanell]

I did it ladies. I put a few pics in my album under "My first twist-out". It came out pretty good. Thanks for all your help!

Oh, and my avatar is one of the twist-out pics.

 

[jwhitley6]

Your hair came out nice Pokahontas. Here are my pics. I probably had about 40-50 twists and I used L'Occitane shea butter conditioner as a leave in. Butters work great on my natural styles...and these pics are a 4-day old twist out, so it held up pretty well.
