My hair came out a huge soft poof of medusa curls. Maybe my hair's not long enough? Or maybe the twists were too tight?? My 70% air dried relaxed hair is not straight at all, it's wavy, so I guess this technique won't work for me. Oh well, I'm back to my flexi rod curls for now.

Oh No

I'm so sorry! Looks like I'm going to have to come up w/a list of trouble-shooting steps! I don't think it's the length but the wave may have something to do w/it since mine is super-straight. Maybe if you apply a little more leave-in before you twist it will calm it down a bit? A cremy one like Salerm might be a good option. Work w/it a little bit! Maybe we'll get some more success stories of how others are tweaking my method (especially those w/wavier textures to begin with).

Don't give up! It took me a while to get it right too

Re: SOUTHERNGIRL - how do you...My Problem Too

I've tried it 3 times thus far (including last night with half dried hair and 6 large twists and pincurls) and I always have way too many curls. I also have a lot of volume, but my hair will do that when it is curly. I want the wavy look you had -it is soooo pretty. I have very, very curly hair when it dries naturally. Maybe I have to abandon the idea??? I don't want to because I want the waves (lol)! I just loved your result Southern Girl!

Oh no!! I'm so sorry! I'd hate for you to abandon the idea, but I think you're right. The difference may be because the state of your hair when it's wet and air-dried is curly. Mine on the other hand is bone-straight, so I think that's why my curls fall limp. I would love to have the natural curl that you do, because then I'd just wash-n-go!!

I'm not sure if this will work, but maybe if you just do even fewer pin curls- like maybe even one on either side of your head? That may or may not work. I'll keep my fingers crossed though!

SG your hair was so beautiful i had to try this for myself. I love the results, although i have a little frizz going on. Next time I'm gonna spritz the ends with some water and see how it goes. I put up some pics of my roller set and pincurls.

Zoya,

I'M SO PROUD OF YOU /images/graemlins/dance7.gif!!!

I just looked at your photo album and I love the way your pincurls came out. Is your hair texturized? You said it was frizzy, but I kind of like it when it comes out a little frizzy. I think it makes the curls look more natural.

Way to go!!

Yeah Zoya, you did a good job. /images/graemlins/clap.gif I can really see the twisty curls. I want to try also, but I'll wait until my next relaxer, because it will be easier to work with.

 

[zoya_j]

Thanks so much /images/graemlins/grin.gif yes, my hair is texturized

Thanks Zoya. It's BEAUTIFUL!!
