Hi everyone,

Thank you all for making this such a wonderful challenge. I'm right with you @ Leslie_C. My hope is that next year is good for you and everyone else. Please forgive for going but I'm going to have surgery and may not be on the board for a while.

Happy reveals and again thank you so much.

I had to change my consult with the stylist from today to yesterday. When I sent the e-mail requesting the change she responded in 10 minutes. I got lost getting there but now I know a better way so I feel confident about getting there in the future. My appointment to get my twists is set for Jan 11th at 4pm. I'm excited.

The shop was bright & very clean. Cozy, not small but cozy. She, Jocelyn, was very nice. She asked me to tell my hair story, asked about my reggie, and asked my goals.She looked at my hair and told me I actually have the same texture throughout and we talked about how tight my curl pattern is, 4a. She told me for natural products she mainly uses Aubrey Organics, Curls, and Oyin. I was excited to hear that I don't need a deep trim but of course I need a trim. She twists on damp/wet hair.

Here are 2 vids of twisted updo tutorials from FusionOfCultures & CharyJay on YouTube. They did a collaborative effort on each other's channels. Both looks are really cute:

TruMe, rsmith, g.lo & jesusislove1526. Your words helped me so much. Thank you so much for your prayers and thoughts. I'm still here . God is good all the time.

Now, Back on to hair. So glad I put my satin cap in my overnight bag. Hospital cotton pillow cases are :burning:. Oh and can y'all give me a pass for my reveal? I'm not really able to lift my arms over my head

Wow, 2013 is almost here

I saw this photo of bantu knots and thought I would drop them here:

 

[Diva_Esq]

Been bunning mostly. Did some twists once last week, but mostly doing different buns.

 

[Creatividual]

I'm gonna try doing loose twists on my hair this weekend. I need a small break from my hair for a bit

 

[youwillrise]

i hate that my hair is uneven...it just grows that way. i have cut it multiple times...back down to twa (the last time 2009)...and i just stopped because i realized it wasnt helping.

it's frustrating when i want to do certain styles...it sucks.

i'll probably have to be midback before i can do a decent, full looking bun.

Been rocking buns all this week. My hair feels dry as the dickens. I have to rock it at least one more day....or I'm thinking maybe sit and moisturize right now and bun then rock it through these 4 shifts I got ahead of me before a 6 day vacay :scratchch

 

[RegaLady]

I washed, DC'd M&S'd, twisted and bunned. I will be rocking this until the first week of January.

 

[BraunSugar]

Taking down my braids!

Wore a fluffy twistout to church today...I realised that if I want a twistout (super defined one) I either have to twist on wet hair...OR wear twists for at least 3 days. These twists were overnight and done on dry hair.
