How to "shape" my twist out?

[Glib Gurl]

So, lately I've been experimenting with twist-outs. While the curl patterns come out nice, my hair is going every which way over my head :lol I have been using a scarf to tie down my edges so at least I can pull it all back with a headband in the morning. But I'd like some alternatives.

I *do* try to twist my hair in the direction I want it to go (so I make a part and twist one way on one side and one way on the other), but it still doesn't come out quite the way I want it.

Any suggestions?

Have you tried a twist and curl?

If you put rollers on the end, I like the satin bed rollers, they give the ends a nice finish and the weight of them pulls your hair downwards.
Now that my hair is longer I don't need to do this.

You can apply some oil to your fingers and lightly pull it in the direction that you want it to go.

you can apply duckbill clips or bobbypins to the roots to help them lay as you wish.

Maybe you can also try flat twist outs to give it a different look. I also cosign on either using rollers on the ends, or bantu knotting the ends.

Use a blowdryer & concentrator nozzle to add volume, get any parts out, &/or redirect how the hair falls.

i find sometimes when I have a wonky twistout section, its because I didnt fully untwist the twist - like down to the scalp, so the section ends up sticking up.
