touble in paradise

I bc'd feb 16th and I just assumed that my hair would be able to hold twist and box braids better than before. My hair from what I have researched lands in around 3b/3c only things I have been able to accomplish successfully are wash and gos. I love them I am just frustrated because my hair don't hold twist or plaits do any one else have this problem. My hair is about ear length in the front and neck length in the back. any suggestions????

Have you tried twisting/plaiting and rods on your ends? The curly end should help hold the twist or plait.

I always had my hair twisted into little starter locs to encourage the curl pattern. Maybe it would work for you too?

Good Luck! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

My hair is very similar to yours...Only styles I have been able to rock are wash and go's and then "sassy" finger curls...

What type of products are you using when making twists? Is this look achieved on wet or dry hair?
