From yesterday. 23 wks post touch up. I'm frustrated with my hair right now. On the fence as far as continuing to transtion or giving in and relaxing...I'm really...really...really frustrated and not sure what to do. Taking things one day at a time.:perplexed:ohwell: This pic is after washing and a nights scarfing, hence the waves...It does NOT look like this when I step out of the shower. Nor does it look as nice and shiny in real life as it does thanks to the flash. Wish it did, lol...

Did a twistout for most of the week, a new product I tried did not mix well with my eco-styler, and began to flake. Instead of throwing my regimen off, I combed out the twistout as best as I could, and gelled my sides. BAM, a passable pompadour to get me through for the day.

Love this!
 
This was me earlier...rocking my TWA and being bored as sin substitute teaching!

This is my long work week so I'm trying to finish up these mini twists before 10pm tonight. Been working on these since 9am with only 90 minutes of start stop time...

@LadyChe
gorgeous! What did you do to achieve this look?


It's SUPER easy to do. Now that it's a few days later, I feel comfortable giving instruction, because this style has easily lasted me 4 days with minimal effort. I've gotten more compliments as the style *ahem* grew (aka my new growth swoooooooole up)! LOL...

Background - I am a BSL (maybe longer) transitioner of about 10 months. Got tired of weaving it up and sick of buns/ponytails as well.

Sooo... I bought perm rods (5 packs) and did an extreme rollerset. I started with freshly washed and conditioned hair, and had a spray bottle on standby to make sure each section was fully wet and detangled.
To set, I mixed a little Lacio Lacio with Ecostyler gel, and did haphazard parts of about 1" all over my head. I just put on a satin cap at night, pushing all the curls towards the top of my head.
All I had to do each day was emulsify a smidge of Jane Carter Nourish and Shine in between my hands and smooth and fluff to define the curls.

I prefer these to flexirods right now, with longer hair, it seems like the flexirods take forever to dry and the results aren't consistent.

Hope this helps!
 
Braidout today. I just did it yesterday and took it down this morning, smoothing it with shea butter.

ETA: Sorry, I know it's a crappy cell phone pic, 'scuse me!
 
Yesterday, I did a wash and go with conditioner only, and then I stretched out my hair by pulling on it and blowdrying it so my hair looked really big, and you could see more length.

However, I don't know why but I can never get the 'big hair' to show up properly on camera :nono: I think it's because of the way my hair shrinks up at the front right hand side or something, I don't know.

Anyway, I tried to take some pics but really, they don't do justice to how big my hair looked yesterday:

(Lol, idk why my face looks chubby here)

From the back I think you can get more of an idea of how big it was:

Today, I just put a hairband around it, and it looks like this:
