Unofficial challenger as well...but I don't really have the desire to cut. Neith!! Gimme your puff!! I need to do a search on your regimen. My hair looks like that now when I pull back the headband, but it's not as shiny and moisturized looking as yours. Got a case of hair envy happening here!

I do tea rinses, I think they really help keep those cuticles down. And Coconut oil! I love the stuff


Thank you all so much, ladies I don't feel that my hair really competes with all of the stunning heads of hair in this thread! Maybe I have afrorexia. lol

^^ I'm the opposite. I love to rile my hair up and wear it huge!

Here's my twistout from this week (took the pics last night). The twistout is 4 days old.

And my lil progress pic - this is from beginning of twist challenge till now. I lined up the pics the best I could....this ish is hard!

Ok, so my mouth literally dropped at the last twistout pic! Girl, you and your hair are too fab!

Neith, I need you to gimme a lil more details on the tea rinses. I need some help with my cuticle bc my hair is SO porous....I have stopped all sulfate and silicone usage, done oil and acv rinses but my hair is still really porous and coarse. I dunno..how do you do the tea rinses?

You get the fish slap on the afrorexia comment...

You have PLENTY of hair Neith! Stop your crying immediately!

Girl, Neith losing her mind over there...i agree...she's got PLENTY of PRETTY hair up over there.... I wish my hair looked as soft and moisturized

See siggy.

:wow: Girl, you have a TON of growth!!! Your curls are SOO pretty! Great job, chicka!

 

[FindingMe]

ya'll I must admit, I had a FAB hair day today!!! It was cool and misting, but I was out and about without a care in the world!

I did a puff on a 3 day old WnG (ya'll saw the WnG pics yesterday):




I used a hair tie by Erama to do the puff. She's on ETSY: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6363019

These things are cool. It's pretty and my puff stays neat without me having a headache all day. The only thing I noticed is that since they are handmade, they are not all a uniform length. I have about 4 of them and the turqoise one seems to do best for puffs of this size bc it seems to be the shortest. The others I have to wrap twice and they make a smaller pony puff, but I like that style, too...

They aren't cheap, though...

Soliel, Girl your hair is just gorgeous!!! When my hair grows up, it wants to be like yours!
How small were your twists from this twistout?
I just can't seem to get any kind of uniformity in my twistouts, so I was wearing if maybe mine are too large?

 

[SweetSpirit86]

See siggy.

Crazy progress! Keep it up! I want to see more pictures as time goes on

 

[GreenD]

So, today I was sporting a 2 day old WnG that had frizzed out and people were actually complimenting me on my hair today:


I was like, "seriously?" erplexed (thus the expression below )


to me it just looked like i just woke up and did absolutely NOTHING to it...maybe people liked it 'cause it was so big? I dunno

Is anyone like me and likes their hair to appear more "stylized" even in it's natural state?

FindingMe your hair is just so darn cute!! I really don't think you and probably many of the ladies on here could EVER have a bad hair day!!!

Your hair is soooooo cute!!! I love the way the twist out looks on you, especially the 3rd pic. Great progress too!! Let me guess you've been putting your twist out in a pineapple?! No wait an orange, apple, grape..... rooster?!I'm sorry I'm in a goofy mood today. I missed you all in here, so I'm making up for lost time.

I just can't seem to get any kind of uniformity in my twistouts, so I was wearing if maybe mine are too large?

Here's the twists I had in

I wore them for a little over 2 weeks before taking them out for the twist out.

..and yes, I was sleeping with my hair in the "rooster"!


The night before last I was taking my shower and didn't want to wet my hair but I couldn't fit it into a shower cap to save my life so I put it in the "rooster" with my scarf, and then cut open a garbage bag look and wrapped that around everything.

I looked goofy as anything but it worked!

LMFAO!!! OMG, I'm still laughing. Not just at the rooster but the trash bag rooster version. Hey, I guess desperate times calls for desperate measures. What in the world did your SO say? With that said, so you didn't wash or anything with your twist? I'm asking because I plan on wearing twists next summer and don't know if I'll co-wash with them in or make them big enough where I can re-do then once a week.

I washed my twists a few times b/c I went swimming. I keep them wrappd in my T-shirt until they're almost dry to cut down on frizz. I haven't tried to stocking cap thing yet, but it looks promising..

The night before last was the second day wearing my twistout and it looked pretty so I wanted to keep it that way for a while.

The pics I posted are from last night when it was already 4 days old.

Um, well I didn't really take any pics of the bc experience, BUT I did go out last night. Oh and I'm going home to NYC this coming weekend I will be racking up on accessories at the $2 Jewelry store



I don't mind short hair, it's the in between phase that bothers me. I'm planning to braid during that phase.

Oh was anyone else eyeing those earrings Solange wore on Oprah...I need them in my life, lol

Aww thank you darlin'....I've gotten a little push to be extra womanly with it now that I have no hair.

You and your hair are cute!! Short hair compliments your face very well. You are rocking that TWA!! Not me so much.

 

[JerriBlank]

You guys,what are you doing with your hair at night?
I moisturize and tie a silk scarf over it,and maybe add a satin bonnet,but my hair is dry when i wake up in the morning.Not deathly dry,but i do have to do my whole moisturizing routine again.I would braid it up at night,but its way too short.

I'm guessing that just comes withe the territory huh?

 

[Chicagodiva]

Ladies, after being inspired by Soliel's most recent gorgeous twistout from smaller twists....I made my first attempt at smaller twists. I plan on leaving them in for a week & taking them down this weekend.

So I was already wracking my brain trying to figure out what to do with my hair, and I've been seeing more and more single strand knots in my Denman lately...then I read this...

I have them. They only make things worse by causing more tangles and knots. They come from letting that hair shrink up (wash and go's, shrunken fros, wet buns, etc.). I've learned that keeping my ends stretched and moisturized prevent them from happening. Literally, my whole life of wearing my hair pressed, in braids, or blowdried I never had single strand knots. I only started getting them when I decided to wear my hair in its unstretched state.

*sigh* With this TWA, I don't have much choice outside the wash and go...I tried to wear a wig as a protective style, but that lasted all of two days. It itched, and I'm not fond of wearing hair that isn't my own, lol. The icing on the cake was when my SO walked in the bathroom one morning when I was putting it on and said, "I hate that thing..." I figure I've made him deal with enough with me chopping all my hair off, and then spending heinous amounts on products trying to figure out what works, lol. Oh well, time to bust out the mini Celie braids?? Cold air is killing me!!
