Guess I will add my only sucessful twistout here. I TST all my hair and left them in for a few days and then out they came and I was left with this.

Great pics, everyone!!! I will post a pic regimen for the other twists and twist outs that I have....(pray for me. I am a lazy pic-taker. :wallbash:)

Keep it coming, everyone. These are really helpful!

hi girls i see some beautiful results ... but i wondering if i could even come close to that beauty because i am natural and my hair is huge once dried... are there naturals with silky shiny results? and what product do u use with it? ... this is something i have convinced myself that i need to do ... cuz i see the heat thinning out my hair ... and i wud like the strength that flat ironing weekly cant give me ... I do consider u girls experts at what u do ... and i want to get on the bandwagon with you.. please help
 
How are you guys keeping your twistouts looking defined on the 2nd/3rd/4th day? Mine look great the 1st day, but after I sleep on it and try to puff in back out, it looks a mess!
 
I feel like I have posted these a kabijillion times. I definitely need to do something new to spice up my braid outs. Anyway, here they are:

I braid my hair up into 4 braids with shea butter and then put a silk bonnet on. My hair stays defined and actually looks better on the 4th day. HTH.
 
Y'all got me drooling over these beautiful braid-outs! Soooooo pretty!
Here's a twist-out I did with 2 strand twists that turned into sculpted waves.:look: Not bad for my first attempt...

My last 3 pics are all on natural hair...
Mine come out pretty shiny, and my hair does feel "silkier" than when I wash n go for example, but it all depends on the look you're going for.
My twist/braidouts work best on damp (rather than wet) airdried hair, and I use a bit of conditioner, maybe a little gel (like ecostyler) and coconut/olive oil for the set. HTH
 
I posted these in another thread, but it flopped. lol Anyway, the following pictures are of a braidout and were done on a little past SL texlaxed hair at around 5 months post so there's mad shrinkage, and the pictures don't do this style justice. I was very pleased. These were taken before I completed the style with bobby pins.

Got one of my best twist-outs ever.

Washed and deep conditioned hair and made around 30-35 twists and wore them for a couple days then took them out.

Products: Qhemet Biologics Qhemet's Olive & Honey Hydrating Balm first then a dab of Tresomme Sleek and Shine conditioner followed by Qhemet's Amla & Olive Heavy Cream. I love using Qhem's during the wintertime, they really keep your hair soft and moisturized.

I can get at least a week out of twistouts.

First, I generally do my twists on dry hair and wear the twists for a week or so, which I'm sure helps the hair "set" better. I use a liberal amount of gel on each twist, which also helps with definition.

I don't cover my hair at night. I push it all up with my hand and sleep on my back or sides, which leaves most of my hair on top of my head and away from the pillow. In the morning, I just shake it and fluff it out a bit and go.
 
twist out pic in my avatar & sig :yep: .. the reg for when I do twist.. is detangle before wash with a heavy CO, wash , dc for an hour ..use a shea butter mix I created.. and seal with some coconut oil.. make about 50-60 maybe more twist... I usually rock them for a few days then take them out and this is what I get! (sorry for the fade to white...it sucks using my phone) I'm still at work on perfecting these..
 
All of the pics in this thread are beautiful! Going to have to subscribe because I havent had a successful twistout since my profile pic. :(
 
Here are mine but they don't compare to Southernbella's!! You are my inspiration!

After three months I let my hair free for 3 days by doing my first "Wave Coil". I was attempting to do finger coils on Friday , but my straight "text-laxed" ends were not having it, so I thought...hmmmmm I remember reading about the Wave coil on HBS. I had a comedy show to go to on Saturday so I wanted to do somethng other than the same old bun.... So I:
1. Washed with Trader Joes Nourish Spa
2. DC with EO Essentials Coconut and Phillip B Conditioning Cream rinse
3. Used AO White Camelia with Jane Carter Wrap and Roll over it
4. I didn't seal my ends with shea butter until I compelted half my head
5. I did small two-strand twists all over and I rolled cut-up straws on the ends. I didn't have McDonald's straws (this was a salvage style)
6. I sat under the hooded dryer for maybe 45 minutes, slept ont he style..then voila, the next day I took it down and got loads of compliments.
This only lasted 3 days because I attempted to add moisture and the curls wilted! So i am back int he bun. Sorry the pics are so odd, I only had my camera phone, didn't get batteries in time.
