Ok, I\'m convinced... I\'m hot

hehehe,
remember the hair trauma that I was going through recently? Well things didn't turn out so bad. I ended up staying up until 4:30 am doing my twist out b/c I was still dealing with unhandled tangles. Well, I used Emergencee 911 + cold pressed castor oil as my moisturizer and applied this to each section, twisted, and then rolled with a small roller.Before I went to work I sat under a medium drier for 8minutes and then took the rollers out. My HAIR LOOKS SOO GOOD :-D :-d .
I can't believe how apprehensive I was about how my hair would look after taking my braids out. My hair grew a lot and the dang thing is shaking all over the place. This is very good news for me b/c I'm growing out a short cut. My hair looks bodacious and I am loving it. I looked in the mirror like 5 times today. I think i have a Narcissus complex or something :-p. Anyway, the twist-out is great. Thank u ladies for your advice about detangling the mess I was dealing with. I love the progess I'm seeing.
 
Re: Ok, I\'m convinced... I\'m hot

this sounds very good. congratulations girl. but i want to know something, you twisted your hair first and then put it on rollers? i really would like to know.
 
Re: Ok, I\'m convinced... I\'m hot

Nay, that's exactly what I did. I started doing this in December and noticed that it gives the appearance of more rounded waves, if u know what I mean. It almost looks like a giant leisure curl.

The reason why I started to use the curlers is because my hair isn't very long. The longest parts are around 8 inches give or take and the back, which I started growing out later on, is about 4 inches. The rollers keep everything in control and looking neat. I use the tiny litle blue rollers
 
Re: Ok, I\'m convinced... I\'m hot

This is great to hear. I suspected that you would come back with good news.

Always the first day when I remove braids my hair dissapoints me but after a few days it looks great.

I am happy for you...good going!

Jazzangel, that's exactly what I was dealing with. I was telling my friends how I didn't know how I'd deal with this head of mine. I must admit, my head looked a mess when I took the braids out

ok?


JenJen, It's been 4.5 months since my last touchup December 27th 2002. Intially I wanted to wait 4wks b4 my touch up, I usually do 2 but because I was so busy during the end of the semester I wasn't willing to take down my braids and worry about daily styling. I'm taking a risk by only waiting one week. HHOWEVER, I keep up on my conditioning washes and treatments during the whole time I had braids. In the last few weeks i've done protein treatments, moisturizing treatments, oiling the ends, massaging the scalpm oiling the scalp -- you name it. I tried to pamper my baby (my hair). The thing is, I don't even know if I want to do a touchup now. my hair looks fine like this. I've gotten compliments all day and I'm deaing with a lot of new growth here.

LondonDiva, I haven't measured my hair yet but it looks like at least 2.5 inches. My hair growth rate is pretty slow in the winter but as long as it's growing I have no complaints.

No, you're not!! It's the same with everyone who has a celebrity up on their avatar... It's funny cuz then if they post their own picture I'm like "Oh... ok..."

Re: Ok, I\'m convinced... I\'m hot

Thanks ladies. I'm loving the twistout look. I modified it AGAIN mainly because Im due for a touchup soon and sleeping with rollers in my head would just make my scalp tender. Well this style is like a twist out but i used chiney bumps aka bantu knots instead. Once I finished twisting and bumping each section I secured it with a bobby pin. It's much more comfortable than the rollers that I sleep with at night but it gives me a shorter look. It's still a cute style though...

thanks again girls. This crown and glory technique, the twist outs, this board, and all ur support is working out well for me.
