This could be achieved with a flat-twist out or a twist-out

Flat twist updo with curls on the crown, you can get this look by flat twisting the perimeter and curlforming the crown

I love this!

My twistouts never ever ever look like this

My signature style. These were taken in December 2009:
I wore this style on the interview I had for my current job...needless to say, this style did not hinder my being hired . At work, i frequently get complimented by parents and other school staff. And the kids...omg. I have little girls coming up to me gushing over it. One of the little boys in my group (5-year-old, missing front teeth, about 2 feet tall) comes up to me, out of the blue and says "I love ya hair", LOL...made my week.

Oh and and this style is super easy to maintain...one of those styles that when it gets "old" it still looks good, if that makes any sense.

So pretty! How many twists would you say you have in your hair? I may have to give this a go. the only thing is that my twists end up flat and gross when i sleep on them. They aren't perky like yours. Any tips?

I LOVE this thread! I'm still transitioning. The best twist out I've ever done is in my siggy.

I love this look!! I'm gonna try your regimen for this.

Me too! I love it. Even if mine looked like this it wouldn't last longer than a day.

Mine look like this when I twist in small-medium twists. Have you tried that?

 

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

Mine look like this when I twist in small-medium twists. Have you tried that?

When i do small twists and take them out once they've dried they don't look full at all. I'm thinking my hair is thick/full enough and thats why i have that problem. It just doesn't look cute at all. Or maybe it's because my hair isn't all the same length. I dunno. I think co wash tonight, twist in small twists then take down tomorrow and see how it fares. Maybe i'm doing something wrong.

Also, this style would last on me maybe two days which seems like such a waste of time for all the work put in to it

 

[BlackMasterPiece]

I took this picture at my desk in my firm it was a flat twist out I think this is circa 2008

These are the flat twists I do when I wanna do a flat twist out the next day

My usual wash n go's

A bun style I was trying out

 

[Taleah2009]

I love this!

I know mine either I don't get that fullness. Maybe when I am 100% natural it will look more full. These relaxed ends are killing when trying to do natural styleserplexed

 

[Mook's hair]

WOW! Really some gorgeous heads of hair ladies & your styles are beautiful.
Here's my contribution.

I am a bridesmaid in a Wedding this April and I'm thinking of trying the Cinn-a-bon style.

 

[BlackMasterPiece]

Mook done shut it DOWN

Those styles are BEYOND lovely!

You *really* bring elegance out of cornrows.

 

[Kash]

Yes it is a lot of work for one or two days. I usually rock a twist out after a week of wearing twists. It only lasts for the weekend

Styles I have saved on my computer.

Quick ?? Can I only upload a max of 5 pics??

I don't get it, do you guys sleep wild? Maybe you need a product that has more hold? My ORS Lock and Twist Gel with a little Shea butter gives me great results that last till wash day.

 

[likewtr4chklit]

I will look into the lock & twist gel. I usually don't use anything other than condish.

 

[NaturalPath]

Some may be members photos, you can PM me if you want me to take them down

Oh yes I would definitely use something that has more hold to it like lock and twist gel otherwise as coily as our hair is it wont last at all. Some ladies even throw in a little IC or eco styler with whatever butter conditioner or creme they're using.....it REALLY helps

LOVING this thread!!! Some of you guys have been holding out on us

Honestly...a guesstimate that is probably still way off...70???? i dont even know.

This is dificult for me to explain but i use 5 bobby pins to pin them "up" like "humped" so that they cant be totally and completely flat against my head. But really what gets them plump like that after sleeping on them is just shaking your head and misting with water, a little will do.

 

[blackbarbie986]

here's one i like to do a lot a twist out that's pinned up
