SL 2014

JBCO on scalp. M&S with scurl moisturizer and oil mix. Will baggy for 6 hrs. Thinking of what I'm gonna whip up for wash day this wkd.
 
I think I found my go to quick style at least until I get a few more inches. With enough bobby pins I can wear two tuck and roll twists. This now gives me an easy quick option when I want to cowash/water rinse my hair mid-week.

You have to keep practicing. I try new styles on days when I know I don't have anywhere to go and have time to redo it. I was home today and I knew I would shampoo tomorrow so today was a good day to try something out.

Two weeks ago I did a perm rod set Friday, put in finger coils Saturday and then did flat twists on Sunday because I had some free time. The first two didn't work out but I learned a lot and will be much further along the next time I try them.

That's the only way I know to do it.
 
Weave porn! Lol. I think I did decent for my first install.
9 weeks here I go. I'm in disbelief that this was easier to do than my crochet braids but it was.

Lol I tried curlformers this morning, but I had no idea how to do it even after watching the tuts

I tugged until my head was sore, but nothing Magic happened lol. Maybe my hair was too poofy for it? I may be doing it wrong.

It could be one of a few things.

1. Your section of hair was too large
2. You didn't twist the hair before putting it into the crochet hook
3. You didn't get the hair fully in the crochet hook

Those are the 3 most common. Curlformers like poofy hair too :yep:

Use small wet/damp sections and what I do is make sure I smooth my hair first with a soft bristle brush before applying the curlformer.

So...

Gonna take these twists out this weekend. IDk if I wanna install more or flip it over to crochet braids...
 
I'm back :look:

Decided to dust with the Split Ender. Taking twists out and washing tomorrow night. Stretching overnight then flat ironing and trimming on friday. Then cowashing and putting twists back in Sunday-Monday.

Took a twist down in the back and I have growth as well as very moisturized hair. Co-washing/DCing and spritzing with tea then butter sealing seems to work against the extension dryness I used to get :yep:
 
Hey yall!
Received the q redew yesterday and gave it a whirl on my three day crunchy twistout. I did not put any product before or after. The steam/vapor softened the crunchiness and revived the product that was there before bc I could smell it :) I twisted my hair and steamed the twists before tying my head with a scarf.
This morning, twist out looked great but a little dry. BUT, considering I did not use any product, the redew is still a win. AND the shedding/breakage was super minimal, like a pea size instead of the cotton balls size I normally get.
Thanks Ms HPG :)
 
I need a trim in the worst possible way. I don't trust people though. The only person I trust to trim my hair is my mom but she is too far from me. Have any of you trimmed your own hair?
