Well, I finally did it. Mook took me by the hand, nudged me into it and demanded to see pics...like today!
OK then! She told me what to do and what not to do(like not borrowing hair from the other strand) and I must say...I'm pleased with the turn out. It didn't come out as pretty as everybody elses because this was just a test. I can perfect it and have a beautiful twist out next time and many times to come. I'm certainly going to play around with it. This is what I did. I took my wet bun down, it was still damp at the base of the bun but drier at the roots. I seperated my hair into two halves. I did nine twists on each side spraying each one right before I twisted with my moisturizing spray(aloe, glycerin, hydrolyzed wheat protein, silk amino acid and orange blossom water). Then I took shea butter and sealed being heavy handed. I twisted the section of hair and rubbed the excess shea and moisturizing spray along the length of the twist. After I twisted that side of my head I then took coconut oil and rubbed it on the length of the twist before rolling on finger thick rods. Repeated on the other side and added hairnet. Some of my rods were slipping to the ends because I used so much shea and coconut oil, this is why I put a hairnet over it. Slept overnight in a silk scarf and unrolled the ends in the morning. Still felt slightly damp on the ends so I "ran" the blow dryer over the ends for about 2 minutes. It sort of straightened them
. Next time I'll sit under the dryer. I started at 7 pm and my hair takes forever to airdry. I can imagine if I had it soaking wet! So thanks Mook for giving me that push to try this!
Half of head twisted...I felt like a lil guh again!
Rolled ends.
I put on head band to keep them out of my face.
The blow dryer blew some of the curls away
Carefully took the twists apart
This is after I seperated them with a metal rat tail comb end.
The back...next time I'll sit under the dryer so it will be totally dry!
I put a head band on
After humidity struck, it grew on me but that's cool, I still like it.
This is another shot outside after it frizzed.
Rocking the new do at work and everyone loves it!
Indoors it doesn't look so frizzy for some reason. My hair is such a chameleon, I wonder will this last all day? Oh well, thanks for looking!
