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

[jamaica68]

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.

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!

Gorgeous!!! I know I'm not the only one drooling over your hair!

thank you!

Victoria44, I didn't want to do it. I really did NOT wanna do it but I think I'm gonna saddown and put in some mini twists! Your hair looks GORGEOUS!!! Tell me, how do you go about putting yours in? They always look so beautiful!

geejay, you ladies know ya'll wrong! Your hair looks so yummy and beautiful!! LOVE IT!

thank you!

These took me super long because I did them smaller than usual. It took me 20 hours over the course of 3-4 days.

All I do is wash my hair, and let it air dry in 10-12 braids. Then I take down a braid, spritz it with a little water to make it pliable, and section off a small row with my finger. Then I take shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie and cover that section with it, and start pinching off small sections and twisting. I don't use combs, just use my fingers if i encounter any knots or shed hairs. Every time I finished for the night I pinned the twists I finished stretched across my head so they stayed stretched til the final day. I twist using the rope twist method and I try to twist tightly so that they don't shrink much. Hope that helps

I went out for an early bday dinner. Did a flat twist out using Paul Mitchell "The Conditioner" (let me know if the pics are too big)

Victoria44, thanks to you I went ahead and put in my own set as well. There not as small as yours but they are smaller than I normally do them. Your method actually sounds close to the way I usually do mine when I want them super small but I didn't do the braids this time. I just grabbed a section of hair and put some twists in. Feelin real lazy at the time. lol Since you're keeping yours in for a month, do you wash yours?



Well, I guess since I'm in a show and tell thread, I may as well "show".

bemajor your hair looks BEAUTIFUL!!! I love the fullness!

Flat ironed the curls away. It's not humid this weekend and I'm taking advantage.

Shampoo with Tresemme Deep Cleansing poo. Condition with Hairveda MoisturePro protein condish.

Products: leave in: Chi Keratin Mist and Argan Oil Heat Protectant by Corioliss.

Flat iron: Corioliss K2. 375. One pass.

[Igotstripes]

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.

Thank you! I'll check Kinky Kurly Queen out! I can't wait to try the style!

I was getting super hair bored and just tired of looking at my hair in general. My solution was to color my hair blue black, do a blowout & trim, and throw in a set of twists.

bemajor absolutely stunning! Happy bday!

 

[bemajor]

^^ thank you!

 

[Duchess007]

I put in smaller two-strand twists this time. They didn't all make it into the bun, but I'm so happy with how they turned out. I feel like I'm out of the awkward length stage now. Hoping I can leave these in for two weeks. Fingers crossed!

Here's my "puff". I'm transitioning so this'll be my style for a minute. It's texlaxed hair in an airdried rollerset and a scarf used as a headband.

 

[Harina]

Currently taking down my braids. Here's a year of growth from a shaved head. Madness! I say madness! My hair is thicker than ever. About to slap some oils on this bad boy and marinate.

Why do I have a random rainbow patch in my hair? I'm hoping that's the camera.

 

[Duchess007]

Pulled my soaking wet week-old twists into a low ponytail and then pulled two jumbo twists back into the ponytail elastic. Finished with a slim scarf.

Pardon the conditioner.
