Twist Challenge!!!!

Here is a good way to revamp tired looking twist (twist 1+ week old that starting to look extra frizzy, but you aren't ready to wear a twistout).

Sprintz hair w/ water.
Apply moisturizing cream (I use shea butter mix)
Section off twist into about 4 sections and cornrow each section.
Cover and wear overnight.
In the morning, unbraid cornrows.

Here will have a nice wavy look as will be less frizzy.

Thanks for that tip.....now I just need to practice on cornrowing.

hey, guys!!

i have to untwist my hair tom cuz i have a brunch date on sat i think i will just either re-twist with my shea mix till the following week or co-wash, deep condish sat night and twist on sunday

I'm very in between on rocking a twistout this weekend for a few get together's I'm having or keep the twist in. All I know is I'm going to be really lazy next week and I know I'll be late on twisitng.

im rocking the twistout today and tomorrow and retwisting for the week on sunday...im starting to get lazy with my hair too, lol all i do is pin it up and oil my scalp during the week...this challenge is really spoiling me!!

oooop2-! I dont do the cornrows, however I braid my twist at night.

I havent posted cause, I feel like I let my sisters of this challenge down
The middle (puff) is totally twisted this am. This is my practice style for the SC meet-up next week!!!

Hey Ladies! I know that I am very late for this challenge, but I didn't want to join until I BC'd. I BC'd last Saturday btw! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Initially I was a little leery about doing it b/c I didn't think that I would be comfortable wearing twist away from the house, but I tried it last night and VOILA!

I'm pretty proud of myself seeing that it was first time. It took me a while to finish, but hopefully that will improve as I continue to practice. Thanks for the motivation Lynnieluve!

Though this challenge will be ending soon I will continue until June 25. I'll just incorparte it with the BAA challenge that I am doing also.

Yay!!! YOU DID A GREAT JOB HEART2WORSHIP!!!! Your twist look great, especially with your color!!!

Everyone is looking good. I can't believe I made it! Nyla I love that style hot moma!

Thanks Lynnieluve! I wasn't supposed to do this until Sunday night after I washed and DC'd. But at 11:00 last night I got the bright idea to do a few twist to try it out and "see" how it would look. Ha! Once it was all said and done it was 3:00 a.m.! And I had to be to work at 8:30 a.m. CRAZINESS!!!

Nothing special. Just a regular old twist out for Friday and Satuday... Everybody is doing a lovely job with thier hair. You guys are really inspiration to keep it up... Have a wonderful weekend...[img]http://www.curlynikki.forumotion.com/natural-hair-challenges-f20/[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][/img][img]http://www.curlynikki.forumotion.com/natural-hair-challenges-f20/[/img]

That updo is Beautiful!

Hey ladies!

My apologizes for my extended absence. Fortunately I fared well in the recent Nashville floods, but that has also meant longer hours in the newsroom and less times to surf hair blogs. Through it all, I've still been faithful with my twists. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Last week I did 70ish teeny tiny twist. Never. Again. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] Took wayyyy too long: about two hours to twist up and 30 minutes to untwist; plus some of the twists were so small & tight that they knotted. Here are pictures from that twist out that I styled into some variation of a curly fro hawk (curly because I set the twists on regular rollers the night before unraveling them).

Then last night my line sister, who is newly natural, volunteered to twist my hair since I've been super stressed. Because of heat damage from my flat iron days, the last two inches of my hair stay straight. I had been wearing my twists always pinned up into a bun or French roll to hide that heat damage (that I am too stubborn to cut). But she set those ends on straws, like the kind from fast food restaurants. And this morning, when I took out the straws, all of my ends were perfectly curly! Have a great weekend!

I love that pin up do NPMoore!!! Very cute!!

@ Talljournalist - I'm glad to hear everything is going well for you. My brother and his family recently moved from Nashville to Murfreesboro in February. Thank God!

I love that curly fro hawk!!

@NP: I love the pin up!!! It looks awesome

@Tall: The curly frohawk is hawtness! Love your twists too

I took my twists out today while I was on campus and then I picked it apart so now it's just a huge curly fro and I aboslutely love it! I'll share some pics once I take some good ones
