afrofaithful pretty hair. Are these wet twists or did you do it on dry/stretched hair or blow dried hair. I'm looking for some tips on doing awesome mini-twists like these

Thanks. I did them on dry hair. It wasn't necessarily stretched to the fullest extent but it wasn't shrunken to the fullest either. Even when I do them on fully stretched hair the ends curl up and the twists shrink anyway! That's with no moisture, I always thought that was weird. Anyhoo...I just used oil when doing it initially. When I finished I used a spritz of water mixed with conditioner and then sealed with whatever oil I'm using, I do this everyday also. That was the finished result. HTH!
 
This is a 5 min Marley braid up do. Nothing fancy at all, didn't even secure it with bobby pins. Trying to get ready for my trip tomorrow.

I bought a pack of #2, I'm going to mix it with 33 because my hair has a henna red hue to it.

Pardon my edges and non matching face powder. My edges need a rest from the wigs! They will be grown out before the holidays. I'll be sporting this style with and without the faux Marley bangs for a while. So easy!!

Can someone tell me why my photos attached sideways from the iPhone using the LHCF APP? I don't usually post pictures.

Experimentation with chunky flat-twistout

Picture 2--> This is why I don't do parts :look:
I also "squished" my sides in because otherwise I'll have that triangle look

BraunSugar looove it, I can't wait until my hair is long enough to do a twisted bun (and the bun actually be full lol) right now my hair in the front doesn't quite go all the way back to be able to fit in a hair tie :( I still have to use hair pins. I love twists, they are so pretty to me.
 
AtlantaJJ, turn your phone sideways with the volume buttons on the top. That is the camera view for an iPhone. Otherwise, you have togo into photos and edit the pic by rotating 360 degrees (I know, odd, but the only way to get it to face the right way when posting).

whiteoleander91 Thank you! I was surprised that I was able to do it. I was just going to ponytail it but then I thought about throwing it in a bun. It looks like you could have a nice twist bun if you did one to me. Do you have bangs in the front that keep you from pulling the twists back into a hair tie? You could prob do a swoop bang or something with the shorter twists in front.
 
BraunSugar my hair in the front is kind of like a bang compared to the rest of my hair b/c it grows so much more slowly!! drives me crazy. I could probably tuck the few twists that don't meet all the way to the back underneath some twists that do...I do that with random strands when I do regular buns sometimes instead of using hair pins. I will definitely give this hairstyle a try this winter since I usually bun during colder months anyway. Thank you for the inspiration!
 
comparing my twists from yesterday to twists from january '12. progress, yay!

eta: i hope my pony tail starts looking fuller when the shorter layers grow out some..

MzSwift I'm glad I'm not the only one lol

virtuenow I've blow dried before twisting in the past but it's not necessary. Now I just wash, DC, and put my hair in 12-15 braids to dry. Sometimes I start twisting when my hair is 90% dry, but usually I twist when it's fully dry. I take a out a braid, lightly spritz it with water, apply a moisturizing cream (SM curl enhancing smoothie) , and part and twist. I add a tiny bit of cream as I near the end so the ends curl a little. I also twist tightly and use the rope method, so the twist is compact and gets less frizzy within the time I'm wearing them. In the morning i usually spritz lightly with water scrunch in a light moisturizer, and let it steam in the shower. Then lightly apply castor oil to my whole head. And that's pretty much it lol

Thank you! Sounds like an awesome regimen :yep: I bet you could rinse or co-wash those everyday too for enhanced moisture :yep:
 
virtuenow you definitely can! I stopped cowashing because all my twists would unravel like half way up the strand but im sure there are way to stop that. I'm going to try banding, while washing.
 
Mini twists first time in one and a half year.
Going to try and keep this in for two weeks.
