you're funnyWell, there goes the idea that relaxing is a guarantee to make it faster. Hmm, that's because you're making sure yours looks good. Maybe if I'm willing to walk round looking jacked I could shave some time off of that.

When I was relaxed, it took forever to do my favorite things. Now that I'm natural, it still takes forever to do my favorite things.
I think we thickheads just have to realize that regardless, we have to put in work.
Again! That sucks that you've never had your hair done and it not hurt - that's just wrong, I tell you! Though..... *thinks* actually, I've had people help me take down my twists, and that didn't hurt - otherwise..... I don't think I've ever had anyone do my head without it hurting, either - except for myself, of course, and my head is still throbbing once I'm done - but it feels good. 
Or maybe I'm just a masochist. 
I am sending this rant out to hair cyberspace. I just need someone to read it, note it, maybe do a little of this
I am so %$@! tired of my hair. I am sick of it, sick, sick, sick of it. I HATE it, do you hear me, I hhaaaaaaaate it. Curse you hair, curse to the fiery underworld (it's hard complying to the no cursing rule when you want to rant). I am sick and tired of hair that takes me hours to do, I hate it! I washed and detangled and put into fat twists to dry yesterday and it took me 2 hours total, which is good for me, but not good enough. You hear that, hair, not. good. enough.!!! I hate that my choices are to either spend hours on my hair or to shave it down like a dude. That's some bullfeces right there, that's what that is. Don't even say twists to me. I do not want to hear the word "twists" come out of anybody's mouth, okay. Cuz you know why? my twists are *****. No, no, forget this bullfeces about it's normal, it's all good. That's a lie, a dirty dirty poopypants lie! This right here, this is ugly! This is not "alright". And this took me 3 or 4 hours to do! Why in the world am I spending so much time for some ugly-booty hair, huh? Uh uh, I do not want to sit and spend that much time with my hair, it is refriggingdiculous to spend that much time doing hair. What in the world?! And it doesn't cut down on the detangling time, either. I spent about an hour and a half detangling hair that I had worn out in a twist out all week. That's normally what it takes for me to take hair out of twists and detangle anyway. Where's the time saving, huh, where is it?!?! I know I have to accept my hair texture cuz it ain't gonna change. But on a day like today I hate it. I want the "difficult" type 3 hair that takes 10 "difficult" minutes to do, that's what I want. Booo, to my hair, boooooooooo! What next, sit down for 8 hours so someone can torture me and I can fight back the tears while they braid fake hair into mine?! I guess that's next, yep, guess that's what I have to do, stupid hair. Booo!
) I unravel with fingers as my video shows. Separate the strands as shown and then retwist. I think the more you twist, the faster you get. I timed myself the last time I did twists--not last weekend when it took forever--but the last time I twisted my entire head after wearing a puff and it took just a little under an hour, call it an hour. They were probably about this size. The set I did now were slightly smaller and more which might've added to my frustration with the time it took to do it all! BTW, the smaller twists do not unravel as easily as the fatter ones.
It took like, 5 minutes to do. You can do it in the same time too!!!!Winnettag, JCoily, Semo, S.A.L., Honi I know, right?
Lady, that style in your siggy is hot. What, did that take you like 15 minutes to do?
Um, yeah, didn't you see my thread earlier this week?
Lady, it would take me 10 minutes to make each part.
Thank you, Mahogany. It's a shame your parents feel that way and it's transferred some to you. Natural hair is beautiful (if difficult). A million examples on this board to prove them wrong.
Nonie, they don't unravel. I wish. After a couple of washes, they start to lock up. Kiya, didn't you say you twist this way but you also can't wash repeatedly in these twists?
Though, I haven't tried recently. Kinda scared to. 
They might, after months of my detangling/stretched process stay 'set' in their individual twisthalves, but I dunno.
Urmhrm.
Now, my problem is more fuzzies than locking, though, and getting my hair wet makes the fuzzies worse, so it's a lost cause, either way. One week is my max. *sigh*
It's another reason why I wear my twists up almost all the time - I can 'smush down/slick back' the fuzz nightly with my scarf. Lasts about til I get to work, if that long, and then they rise and start to party. Maybe if I started using gel to do my twists again, that would keep them in check, but I don't like how my hair feels with gel in it, anymore.
That's not fuzzy, hunny. That's just fluffed. If my hair looked like that after I washed it - ch. I'd do my hair once a month.
And I actually don't have a single picture of my hair fuzzy, either (and that's saying something!). I'll take one tonight, when I go home, so you can see what I mean - my fuzz is flyaway, oddly enough. So, each twist looks like it's suffered a mild electric static shock, or has goosebumps, or something.
1) No - always on dry hair. Taking my hair out long enough to twist it while still wet = horrible tangles as the part I'm not dealing with shrinks up as it dries.
2) Hrm. Interesting. I might not do mine that tight. My twist outs look like yours though, if I don't fingercomb it like I usually do once I take it down.
This is a picture of a fresh done twist - it looks like this for about a day.
Thinking about it, I'm certain they aren't as tight as yours, but I don't know if I could make them that tight - even if I start really tight, my hair 'swells' right back up, and they get fluffy.
