Everyday Hair...The Pretty, The Nappy, The Crazy...Post Your Hair RIGHT NOW!!!

New weave. I used Malaysian Italian yaki hair 16 & 18". I have a u shape side leave out plus my edges/perimeter out. I love this hair because of the natural look.

Snapped earlier today while at the supermarket, great lighting for checking split ends. 13 weeks post perm. I plan to perm and trim at least a good inch this coming weekend.

This was yesterday at work, but it's still in the same style. I have fallen in love with mini twists at this length. I've had them in for nearly 4 weeks, and they are still holding up!

That's so pretty! How did you do it? And also how are you maintaining them? TIA lol
 
These past few days I have been co-washing every morning. Here are the 5 minute 'looks' I have been wearing. Basically anything I can do in less than 5 minutes is in lol. Forgive the photos, I had to take them myself

Igotstripes I basically just loosely twisted a large bang section, swooped and pinned it. The rest of my hair is in a low ponytail.

I've been following a combination of MsTanish1 and Naptural85 tips to maintain. I twisted them tightly so there is very little shrinkage. Every day, I moisturize the ends by spritzing lightly with water, adding a moisturizer (I'm using beautiful textures moisture butter) and seal with my light oil mix of olive and coconut oil.

I don't wrap my hair every night like Naptural85, just cover with a bonnet. I did do the deep conditioning oil rinse she recommended and I did wrap then to strech the twitss back out. Mostly have been wearing them in a bun. Whenever I take these down I'm going to put in a set of loose twists. Oh! Almost forgot, another great youtuber to get minitwist tips from is Kinky Kurly Queen.

I made a deep conditioner/styler and used it after a co-wash. This will definitely be one of my staple leave-ins....my Mom kept telling me how great it was after I made her a jar. It smoothed my hair so well.

TaylorT mine is EXACTLY like that lol! My curls look like the metal coil inside of a pen. Henna/vitamins has helped my fine hair greatly so it makes it a tad thicker overtime. But when I saw your hair it was like I was looking at mine :grin: never met anyone that came as close.

Ooh, shiny! :-)

Would you be willing to share your DC/leave-in recipe?

This is my wash-n-go on day 4. I feel like my regimen is coming together.

In the shower I braid my hair into two braids, and then clip them to the top of my head for stretch and let dry for about 30 minutes under a tshirt. I leave-in Oyin Hair Dew, use Castor oil on the ends and then rake EcoStyler olive (with a little extra oil mixed in my hand) through about 12 sections. Air-dry and then experience chronic hand-in-hair disease as I play obsessively with each and every coil. :lachen:

At night I put it loose into a satin bonnet/pocket which is better than pineappling for me. In the morning shake-and-go. (A couple times throughout the week I LIGHTLY apply hair dew to the ends and/or edges...too much and I will frizz my hair out...so it's an exercise in restraint.)

What I've learned this last year is that less is more. And that heavy-handed product application is where hair-styles go to die.*


Everyone's hair is different but my hair does not like to be heavily coated. She needs to breathe!
