Twist outs

[karezone]

Just when you think you know everything, you realize you don't.

Can a twist out be done on relaxed hair?

Definately... I did this when I transitioned.

yes. here are my steps:

-Condition wash with any conditioner lying around. Rinse with cool water.
-After misting with distilled water, add a creamy or liquid leave-in to the hair
-I twist my hair tightly, apply serum to ends, and secure the ends with very small lavendar magnetic rollers. sit under the dryer for about an hour and unravel.
-the result is wonderful hair!

Yup! I do them on my daughter's hair. It looks beatiful if done correctly.

okay thanks just wondering. All the sites seem to have napptural hair instructions and I want to make sure that I am doing it correctly.

My sister use to use a mousse on her hair after washing and deep conditioning her hair. She would air-dry and/or sit under a hood dryer. The style would last about a week and a few days.

Yeah, I did one and posted pictures of it.

*going to look for pictures*

All I did was wash, use Elasta QP Mango Butter as a leave in and twisted it.

I do twist outs every now and then.

I haven't tried them yet but I would say if braidouts can be done on relaxed hair, then why not twistouts also.

Twist out turned out a frizzy mess, I will be trying it again next weekend or maybe tommorrow. It was just bad looking.

 

[MissJ]

Thanks JenJen.

karezone, did you put any kind of serum or like in my case mango butter on it to cut down on the frizz? I think the way that it's finger combed helps, too. I'd never suggest using a comb on a twistout, because when I finally combed mine it was a big mess.

Your new avatar is so fly, Karezone! I love it!

I used mango butter. The thing is it looked really smooth while it was in the twist but when I started to unravel them it became pretty frizzy.

Next time I will try making fewer twists.
