I'm doing great, lady. Just been busy with a TON of stuff, but all good things. I'm blessed, thanks for asking.
Honestly, the shea butter/oils mix i use is all i use for twists. I formulated it to be thick and creamy so it can have hold. I put castor oil on the ends to add more moisture but that's really it. After two days, I retwist in bigger pieces if I want to wear it down, but otherwise it'll make it's way into an updo or a bun.
Trust me, I feel you on the laziness, we've been on the board for some time and we kinda get...lazy--in maintenance and documentation. I feel somewhat of an obligation to update and offer advice because so many ladies did that which helped me when I joined the boards. It seemed the amount of updates recently have declined so hopefully, more people update.
Girl, give up on the shrinkage, I did, lol, it's here to stay.
