manter26, when you say you used grease only on that braidout do you mean you started with wet hair, applied grease, and braided? It came out lovely, I may try the grease only method.

TIA

Yep. I smoothed it (Nature's Blessing) over damp hair then braided. I didn't use anything else under or over it. I won't do it again though because I shampooed twice and I still feel like my hair is coated. I also like my hair frizzier and it didn't look messy enough for me until day 3. :look:

I'm gonna add a tutorial to my blog: minibraidmethod.com next week...using grape seed oil instead. I have a blog post on here of the braidout in my siggie. The braids for this one were slightly smaller. And my siggie hair is from taking out damp braids. The pic above is after leaving the braids in for 2+ days cuz my hair takes a lifetime to dry. HTH

Tried 3 strand twists for the first time. I did it on stretched (roller set) hair. I wrapped and pinned each twist to make sure it stayed tight. My hair is very stretched but I'm not sold on the style.

manter26 your hair is very thick, how long does it take to do roller sets? Is it done on soaking wet hair?

Honestly, I wasn't paying attention to how long it took. I didn't detangle or anything, just parted and rolled it. It was towel dried.

Eta: probably took 30 or so mins.

I use bss rollers with teeth. They leave dents in my hair but I get a good stretch. The top didn't dry properly.

My hair adventures of the new year. All I do these days is wash and go. The top is still long enough for a puff too, but not the sides and back-and I don't mind that, at all. Loving it. :yep: :)

Braid out on third day of wash and go. Frizzier than I would like....

My hair gets smooth once it air dries in a bun so all I had to do was brush in some leave in and coconut oil and do two pigtails. I put control freak in this morning and that knocked a lot of the frizz, but not all of it. :( maybe day 4 will be better.

Still wigging it out

Argh! Each picture you post is making me want to hit "pay now". So you don't think it's too big for the hospital Foxglove ? Also have you tried it as a full head wig? That's how I plan to wear it since my hair is short.

it's big but it looks like a fluffy twistout. My program is fine and I haven't had any complaints so far, only compliments. That being said it depends on your program and how conservative they are, because the hospital I'm at this month isn't super conservative. If they wouldn't be cool with you in a twistout you may have to skip this one.
 
Slept in 4 flexirods and finger styled

Okay, I did a write up on my braidout. I can't remember who asked. I wanted to do a pictorial but I can't find the battery cover for my camera...so I just have some phone pics.Hopefully the blog explanation makes sense.
