FINALLY, A SUCCESSFUL TWISTOUT

[Robin41]

Thanks to Peachtree's tips, I finally had a twist-out that looked decent enough to wear out in public! After shampoo, conditioning, leave-in and oiling, I did five cornrow twists from front to back and rolled the ends with oiled end papers on magnetic rollers. After drying w/bonnet dryer, I untwisted with Wondergro Shea Butter sprayed on my fingers and VOILA! It came out really curly, moist and full. The only problem was that I didn't let it dry fully and the top was more stringy than curly.

Last night, I slept in a bonnet-type sleep cap and this morning the bottom part was still curly. I sprayed the top with S-curl and scrunched with IC hair polish and it still looks good. Tonight, I'll have to re-twist and this time I'll let it dry completely.

My husband didn't really care for this style (I believe the phrase was "it's a-ight") but I love it and this is definitely an alternative hairstyle for me to give my hair a break from the d/s ponytails.

Thanks Peachtree and everybody else for your tips. I never thought I could rock this style but I finally got it right!

Robin, those were my thoughts exactly when I did my first successful braid out using Peachtree's suggestion last weekend. My husband didn't care for it either, but so what!

I agree with you both. Peachtree should patent her technique.

Awwww, y'all make me feel soooooo special

Hey Robin

,
I'm really happy for u. See now that u have the "basics" down, u can adjust technique to work for u

.

Girl u were "rockin' it"

, huh? My hubby "tripped" a bit too when I first started wearing both braid & twist outs... (He'd rather see my hair totally straight & out everyday).... but he quickly adjusted to my "new look"... shoot, he had no other choice

! BTW, now he loves it!!! So maybe hubby will warm up to your new style... & MzRhonda, there's still hope girl

... maybe your husband will warm up too

.

SweetCocoa, now as for getting a patent, shooooot, I wish I could... I'd be laying on the beach somewhere....CHILLIN'
