Twist/braid/bun For Growth Challenge 2017 (no Extensions)

[overtherainbow]

I steamed my twists and retwisted with Shea Moisture's JBCO Leave-In and the CES. I will leave them in for another two weeks.

I'm going to steal this style

Lovely!

Was feeling lazy so went for this style. Hope I can get it in for two weeks but I will see how it's hoping up after a week.

In a curly wet bun today...did a WnG yesterday and fell asleep on the couch so needed to rewet and refresh and put it in a bun. Will stay in a curly bun at least through Thursday. Next week if my sister can't rollerset my hair I am going to attempt some medium sized twists that I can then pin up.

 

[snoop]

I put my hair into medium twists this week. I tried making an emulsified butter (kind of a bust) but I'm going to use it to seal my ends. I haven't tried butters since I first stated my journey but I thought I'd try again.

I'm going to keep the twists in a bun, top knot or french braid to keep my ends hidden.

Will add pics later.

If I could do 8 braids and bun that's probably exactly what I would be doing but that's a long way off.

I can corn row down the sides but I have not mastered cornrows to the back.

I think I want to join this challenge. I am going back to bunning and keeping it in for the week.

I'm nearing the end of week two for my twist. They are getting pretty fuzzy at the roots, will probably rock a twist out Saturday and then wash and re-twist Sunday.

Today I'm wearing a low ponytail, allowing the ends to fall over one shoulder (so I can keep an eye on them).

Why? Are they being naughty?

Sorry, couldn't resist...

I'm also into my second week with my twists. I already washed and dc'd yesterday so I will start retwisting sometime today.

Lol! No, they've been acting ok...just like to keep a watchful eye on them when they are down. Also, I'm trying to keep them from rubbing on clothes and what not.

Coming up on 4 weeks tomorrow with the mini box braids

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

I'm thinking about switching to twists at 6 weeks but I wont be able to wet them like I do these braids. I will have to see how long it takes me to get these out if I go ahead and refresh at 6 weeks vs 12.

4 days later I'm not done untwisting! the plan was to redo each section as I unraveled but after the 1st section I took out, I took a break that lasted 3 days so I've decided to just undo the entire thing and bun my hair. This tew much!

Yes ma'am! I love the look of a slick bun, but I decided early on not to be concerned with that. I've been daily bunning since 2008 and no problems yet!

Side pony twists...

So pretty!

 

[faithVA]

I took out my twists, remoisturized, added a glycerin moisturizer and TGIN daily moisturizer. I put some butter on my ends and retwisted towards my crown. When I'm feeling lazy that it my go to style. I will definitely wash next weekend to give my scalp some much needed moisture.

 

[Colocha]

Sptrized hair with Xcel-21, twisted up and bunned. Plan to keep these twists for three weeks.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

I've been taking my braids out for the last 3 days and I've only did 1/4, lol. Hopefully Saturday I can get them all out because I have an appointment for a hair style on sunday.

Ive had these braids in 5 weeks today. I'll be out this challenge 8 weeks and then back in after I take this style out.

 

[faithVA]

Wore my twist for two weeks. I took them down today and am deep conditioning now. It's pretty late so I will probably put it back up tomorrow. Not sure how I'm styling. But I'm going to try for another 2 weeks. Then it will be time to dust my ends and do a rollerset.

 

[Daina]

Been about the bun life since the beginning of the year. Only time not in a bun is typically Sunday for church. Today I am getting a rollerset and will wear out for church tomorrow and back to the bun Monday.

 

[overtherainbow]

Quick Saturday bun after a spontaneous invite to my BILs basketball game. Used a flexi 8 and a hair tie for security. Leaving this in until tomorrow's wash
