I am still hanging in. Having my hair in twist is working in my favor since school started back. How is everyone doing?
@Reminiscing PRACTICE. It took me about six months of twisting to install a set that looked fresh after two weeks. When I first began, a new set of twists looked old that same day. It drove me crazy. Another tip is to braid the root and twist the rest of the way down. I do this near on my hair, at the area of parting, and my nape.
@Bublin do you do your twists on wet hair?
@yaya24
wow
They were done on shrinked hair and they are so long...
oh can I have your review on the yes to tomato, i've heard it's specifies for "fine hair" and that it's "volumizing")
is it kinda true ??
yaya24@Krystle~Hime
TBH before purchasing the YTT conditioner I did not even realize that it was for volumizing. I purchased it at Ross for $2.99 solely based on the ingredients and used it as a rinse out/ cowash conditioner. It leaves my hair very soft.
I do have fine strands though.
@faithVA, that's so cute. I love that she does cornrows on the sides (I can't flat twist to save my life so this is a style I can pull off. I just need to do a few pushups so my weak arms can stand to be up for long enough to do cornrows. I can do 200+ braid singles w/o a break, but cornrows wear the heck out of me.)
Here's a style that some of the ladies may have the length and skill to do.

I wish my hair didn't shrink up sooo much. My twists have shrunk up to around my ears. Still, the plus side is that my hair is super soft.
[USER=89499 said:Krystle~Hime[/USER];14278217]I want to try this !!!!
@faithVA.
is it bad if i'm in yarn twists for one month :s ????? am I dismissed ???
I mean they are so sexy I want them !!!
but that's not cool I have to be consistent with my initial regimen, maybe I would wait 2012. (okay finally this, was a random hair thought LOL)
Thanks! I know how long you keep yours and I didn't want to think I was crazy when a few unraveled on me lol Nonie
I FINALLY got my henna yesterday. I had to take my twists in the front down. Fortunately, the twistout in the front looked great...even with the gray hair. I will henna tomorrow night, do the indigo Saturday morning, rinse w/salt water, deep condition w/yogurt, honey and burt bees conditioner for an hour and then twist it up. I am think I am going to use the jane carter nourish and shine to twist.
What are you guys using for your twists?
@NappyNelle the style was cute, but the gray hair did not make it any kinda sexy
Your go to twist style (alternatively braid style): Buns on most days (I get more shrinkage in the front due to heat, lol) but down on some days.
Your twist care regimen: I wear my hair in twists and wash it every five days. On occasion, I wash my hair more frequently (in twists), depending on whether my scalp is irritated due to sweat/buildup. But ideally, cowash with hemp seed oil in conditioner, detangle, and retwist. I don't wear twist-outs because of the shrinkage.
What you hope to achieve by December: It'd be nice to be full bsl but I'm hoping that the shortest parts of my hair are below apl and are nearing bsl. I want the front sections of my hair to be at least cbl
Anything else you would like to share. I also take vitamins 10mg of biotin a day and 2g of msm a day (mostly to counteract the bad acne I would get if I just took the biotin). I also take a multi-vitamin and iron (for anemia).
I guess I'll take pics later. I just put my hair in a bun.
Is it too late to join ? If not, I'm in
Your go to twist style: mini twists
Your twist care regimen:
I also dc before I twist w/ Anita Grant's Rassoul Deep Dish (banana) and organic coconut milk, then I twist w/ BB's Happy Nappy Styles. Every morning I apply a little Avocado Cloud by Hairitage Hydration or Burdock Root Butter Cream by QB to the ends. At night, I slip on my silk bonnet and call it a night.
What you hope to achieve by December
I just want my hair to be a non factor while I workout.

@Kenny-Ann,
I feel you on the gray. With some styles its ok but with others it just seems so prominent. And with pictures it just looks more in your face
OMG @ the bolded. It looked totally different in the mirror than it did in the photos. I was like "That's NOT my hair". I can't wait to get back to twists.
