Twisting FOR Growth Challenge Part 3!!!!!!

[rsmith]

Great Progress Oooop. I hope I can catch up with you or at least get close. I think I will post this weekend.

My Christmas present for myself will be long hair, I hope.

 

[loolalooh]

Oooop, your growth and retention is the business! Your progress is very inspirational.

I'm in twists now and plan to be for another month, so I'll be checking into this thread and asking questions.

I've been wearing small twists for about a month (pulled into a bun), and I think that I am retaining most of my hair--it looks longer. I need to start documenting my growth, but I'm kind of lazy with that.

 

[oooop2]

This is how I wash my twists. I cover my hair with a stocking and work some diluted condish in over it. I gently massage and rinse. it works well for me because 1) some of the condish inevitably stays in my hair which is great and 2) my twists stay fairly intact.

Yeah..I do this when I wear my hair in smaller twist, since my hair tangles so easily.



I love your hair, lol. I agree with the less twists routine...I think I prefer the twistout that they give me. We'll see...we have four months to experiment. By the way, love the new bathroom!

LOL..Glad you like my new bathroom. But cleaning it can be a royal pain....

Hey ladies!!! I"m so excited about this challenge. I got kind of slack last time and wasn't moisturizing and dc'ing like I should. My hair is so uneven it's hard to post a starting length. I"m somewhere around bsl I think and my goal is mbl. I've been stuck at bsl because of breakage and I"m not sure what was/is causing it. It's gotten much better, I think it was the color I still had on the ends of my hair. I'm going to trim and take some pics of my hair this weekend. Right now I"m wearing flat twists in the front and either a twist out or big twists in the back pulled into a bun. I took a pic of this style and will post it to my fotki. I can't check personal sites at my new job so I won't be able to check in as much as I'd like to. I still should be able to do atleast twice a week though. I'm going to put in individual twists in over this labor day weekend. I don't know what's going on w/my hair but it doesn't look nearly as healthy as it did when I took my siggy pic.

I went through a period when I was neglecting my hair. Hence the reason why I trimmed. But definitely take a starting pic of where you are at, so that you can really see if/how this challenge is working for you.

Can I join this one? I'll twist on Sunday

Hi..Thanks for your interest. But only 10 participants will be in this challenge. But definitely follow and ask questions whenever you have one.

Great Progress Oooop. I hope I can catch up with you or at least get close. I think I will post this weekend.

My Christmas present for myself will be long hair, I hope.

Thanks rsmith..You're growth is REALLY impressive...Who knew under all those small twist you had so much growth

Oooop, your growth and retention is the business! Your progress is very inspirational.

You inspire me also

A month..That's impressive. The longest I've been able to keep mine in has been 2wks. There are several twisties on this board that keep their twist in for that long/sometimes longer, so it's definitely doable. Just make sure to keep them properly moisturized.

Please continue to follow this trend and ask questions. However, we will only have 10 participants in this challenge, so I won't be adding anyone else.

Meanie!

 

[oooop2]

LOL..Well after the lack of participation on the last challenge, I needed to keep it small!!!

 

[Dragone]

Yay, the challenge has started! I'll post pictures once my batteries for my camera are charged. If my twists ever get as thick as some of yours I will be happy

 

[slw980205]

just read the entire post and saw you only wanted 10 participants. i guess i will just continue to do my own twist challenge and follow for moral support.

 

[sheava]

Here is a picture of my starting point and a recent twist out. I hope to be full bsl by the end of the challenge.

Your hair looks thick from the pics you've posted.

Too cute..And I am confident that you'll definitely be at full BSL by the end of this challenge.

 

[Dragone]

I'm back! Here's my starting picture. Unfortunately my one-handed picture taking skills are pretty bad, so it's blurry. But as long as we get the idea, right?

 

[growth2come]

Is it too late to join???....I have been twisting weekly since June and hoping to carry on till end of the year when I go back to braids....My twistout pictures are in my fotki. My current length is APL alhough I have been chopping away at splits lately.

 

[Soliel185]

I am lurking in this thread since I am terrible with challenges, but I want to know have any of you posted any pics of the way you are doing your twists?

I am looking for updos so that I can keep my seriously shrunken ends off of my collar and neck area.

Updo I tried for work..

We definitely get the idea..You have a lot of length already..What is your goal length???

Hi..Yeah, only took 10 participants this time around. But definitely follow/give input/ask questions whenever you feel necessary. I've been doing a search and destroy on my incomplete splits..I really hate those!!

Updo I tried for work..

Cute..I might steal your style this weekend.

 

[doriannc]

add me to the list. I will try this

 

[Dragone]

My goal is to have an APL twistout, which translates to...who knows? Waist, tailbone, ankle length ? All I know is that I'm too lazy to straighten on a regular basis so I want my twistout/braidouts to be at a length I am happy with. At least until I discover the Messianic stylist who actually knows what she's doing.

Pretty hairstyle Soliel

 

[loolalooh]

Yes, cute do, Soliel! I love me some frenchbraided twists.

CHECKIN: I'm wrapping up week #1 in these twists. Will do a prepoo, wash, & condition this weekend. After airdrying, I'll just redo the perimeter. The plan is to wear these twists for 4 weeks before putting in a new set.

 

[Geminigirl]

I will be following this as I just twisted my hair last night. I was manipulating my hair too much and thought twist would be a great way to take a break, thicken my hair, and take care of some issues.

oop2- your bathroom is nice. I noticed that too. I love big bathrooms especially when they have a nice sized mirror. And a see thru shower? Steamy!


ETA- I kinda would have joined but I suck at challenges anyways so it's good you are only taking 10 ppl. I will be subbing though.

 

[oooop2]

How are ladies doing your hair for the weekend? I'm thinking about sporting twistouts.....

 

[sheava]

I think I will be wearing a twist out today and tomorrow. I am going to do a henna treatment on Sunday and then twist my hair again. I love the benefits of henna, but it is such a long process . I plan on keeping the twists for two weeks.

Yeah after living in Japan for over 3 yrs, there were certain things I wanted to have in my new home. 1 was a nice bathroom
.

Definitely pop in and ask questions/offer suggestions!!!

 

[jetbeauty09]

Perhaps editing your first post to say that you're not accepting any more challengers would curb the requests to join...

Once I find out how to subscribe I will be following this b/c I'm all twisted up right now and need some encouragement! Great tips in this thread (stocking cap washing!?!?).

Oooh, be sure to post pics of your twistout!

I'm going to replicate this look I did last week. Twistout pompadour and twist fishtail going down the back. (Better pics and explanation in my fotki.) I think I'll make the pomp bigger though. Then once the weekend wraps up, I'll just retwist the front.

Do you have any big plans for the weekend?

 

[oooop2]

That style is cute that you posted. Currently enroute to Delaware to visit the inlaws. Taking family pics on Sunday. Will either wear a fluffed t/o or medium twist. Will definitely post pics.

I am locking myself in the house w/some movies to do my hair this weekend. It is looking rough after wearing it loose the past couple of days after taking my twists out. I really want to find a good stylist. I realize that I have been neglecting my hair because I''m tired of doing it, I feel like I haven't been making much progress at all . I have never been to a stylist because my mom is one and she always did my hair growing up and taught me how to do my own.

 

[productjunkie814]

Love the twist out pompadour! Must try that next week. Like Ms. Lala, I'll be forcing myself to twist this weekend. Right now my hair is in a twistout; I'll twist Sunday. It'll be raining most of the weekend, so I won't feel bad about it, lol.

 

[productjunkie814]

Here is a picture of my starting point and a recent twist out. I hope to be full bsl by the end of the challenge.

Ahh! Love your twists and the twist out...do you twist on dry hair? How do you take them out for the twist out? Loves it!

Awwww thank you! I twist on wet hair with ABBA Nourishing Conditioner leave in. When I take them out, I start from the top and slide my thumb between the two pieces. I try to manipulate a little as possible.
