Hmm, well if you had Yaky or Wet n Wavy braiding hair than no, you probably can't do twists with that. But She's N- Vogue makes two nice brands of human twisting hair that run in a Kinky Twist and Afro Twist kind of style.
I'm sure other companies make hair like this too. While the human hair twists may last for a shorter amount of time, they tend to look and feel more natural. Not to mention they age a lot more gracefully.

I liked your wash and go.
I think we have a similar texture. Do you use any products on it? If so, what are you using?

I just twirl the ends around my finger. No need for any gels, bands and stuff.
As for what I will do for the summer, actual for the next 2.5 years I am on a full on protective challenge to keep my hair in protective styles until 2010. It might sound like a longtime but it is really just a lifestyle for me at this point. I wear plaits, cornrows, twists, and flat twists 99% of the time. They very in size and style so that I can keep the boredom at bay.
To keep your twists from locing on you keep your twists oiled down to the ends and even co-wash (no shampoo) while they are in, and don’t keep them in longer then 2-3 weeks. I am sure your hair will not loc sooner then that. Lets us know what you decide.

Well, I plan to wash and go most of the time. I would like to wear twist, but I really want to enjoy doing co-washing while its warm out.

Buns, wash 'n go's, occasional flatiron, rollersets, flexirod sets, braidouts, 3/4 wigs -- I think there are lots of options for us naturals, especially with the popularity of scarves, headbands and pretty hair jewelry. I plan to experiment with making a braided headband of my own hair and sticking some decorative shells in it.

I've been thinking about this as well. I think I'm going to wear the style that's in my siggy (the pony puff) most of the time and wash n' gos. I'll also experiment more with braid outs because I still can't get mine to look nice. I have a really young face so I think twists might be out of the question for me unless I get extensions and umm I'm not trying to dish out that money lol.

I'm having the same problem! It looks like I'll be wearing buns and braidouts most of the summer. The humidity seems aweful, and I haven't mastered a decent wash n go yet.

I'll be bunning and wearing more protective styles this summer. My focus is retention since my hair is at that critical point.

Sorry no help here. I am officially on the twist-out bandwagon after today's experience.
