Ashawn Arraine - TY! A good majority of it is explained in my LHCF blog. Check it out and let me know what questions you have.

 

[divachyk]

Located a new one - grabbed some hair and used a good days hair pin to make a bump it type look at the top and bunned at the base.

@taz007 - can you please help me accomplish the no name style? How did you go about creating that look?

divachyk

I don't know why but the bolded made me .

What I did was:

1. Parted my hair to make bangs.
2. Made 6 twists in the front and gathered that hair like I was going to make a ponytail but clipped the hair under with bobby pins
3. Parted my hair in the middle, tucked it under and secured it with bobby pins
4. Took the bottom of my hair and tucked it under with bobby pins

Hope that was clear.

[danysedai]

abcd09, thanks, yes it did for about 2 more days,after that it got a bit frizzy and I pinned it up.

Bantu Knot Out on air dried hair. Shampoo, DC, air dried until 80% dry, and made 6 bantu knots. After taking the bantu knots down, I tied a silk scarf around my head and removed after 1 hour...this decreases the volume.

[NIN4eva]

Banana clips rip my hair out where the two pieces of the clips are connected. How do you'all do it?

[levette]

Thanks for this thread.. I have been doing braidouts consistently for the past few months....relaxed hair gives u ton of options

NIN4eva - the only time I've had that issue is when my hair outgrew the banana clips I was using. Perhaps you need to upsize to larger clips. I banana clip almost exclusively now and love it.

I'm all over this thread.. I know some of yall must get weave checked on the regular.

Dang, I wonder how much different a lot of relaxer experiences would go if we weren't so inundated with the bone straight ideal...

hmm...Looking at the clips in this thread, I'm wondering if I just had cheap and poorly made clips. That was probably the problem.

 

[yorkpatties]

That's a fact. Keep these great styles coming!

@NIN4eva -- Well...all of my banana clips were purchased from Walmart, so they certainly weren't expensive.

Banana clips rip my hair out where the two pieces of the clips are connected. How do you'all do it?

When you attach the banana clip to your hair, unattach the other side (hinge) and make sure no hairs are trapped, then reattach.

Hope this makes sense....

 

[divachyk]

NIN4eva - my clips are not high either, mainly from the BSS or an ebay vendor.
