Twist Out Fail

I did a twist out on Saturday morning it was cute. Soft, shiny and bouncy curls/crinkles. But....that night I pineapple'd with little metal clips and a satin bonnet. The next morning it was a MESS! I had to wear a hat!!

Anyway, how could I have fixed my twist out? I am styling challenged when it comes to my hair and I wouldn't know where to begin to do a pin up. Can you post pics of some modified twist outs please? TIA!!

Here are some of my twist out pin up dos...

There is also a quick and easy style I've done on the blog today (5-5-2010)

What product did you use to do your two strand twist?

I just did a successful twist out last weekend and woke up with a mess too, LOL!!!

To preserve your twist out's have you all tried retwisting at night?

I also had bad luck doing pineapples after successful twist-outs. I have to re-twist and roll every night to keep my curls and waves defined and frizz-free. I also re-apply a little oil most nights during my retwist.

Another thing was I had to learn to stop using leave-in conditioner! It dried my hair out something terrible and kept it looking frizzy and crazy. The coconut oil and some glycerin is all my hair needed.

Hope this helps!

Natural V and Natural addict is right, TAKE CAUTION with Twist outs it is not a low maintenance style, it takes daily care of re-twisting @ night however with a little practice you can retwist in 15-20 mins depends on the size of each section

I should have retwisted. Well, I did retwist but I did like 6 big twists and it made it look even worse! I now know the error of my ways. Thanks so much!

Lynnie your hair is cute. I like the faux headband. Girl, you did that!

I used Cantu Leave In, coconut oil on my ends, and a little foam setting lotion. I was afraid about the hold since I'm only 9 weeks post relaxer. I'm still a newbie transitioner. But that first day it was looking awesome! I'll have to try again. I'll post pics too.
Thanks again!

I didn't realize you were still transitioning. Twist out are done different when you still have relaxed ends. When I did twist, I would put the entire twist on a perm rod. Meaning I would roll it up to the roots. I will post pics later. I am posting this from my Crackberry

Ok, I had a hard time finding the pics on my laptop....check out my fotki in the transitioning album. You will see it there.

You have the Helping you..all will be well shortly!

I am glad I came across this thread. I almost went to bed without retwisting. I would have been Hot in the morning!

Okay, I got 2nd Day Hair Y'all. But boy let me tell you, I had a rough night. I didn't retwist because my curls were so tight and I really liked it like that. I just pushed it up in the bonnet and slept on my chin! This hairstyle really is high maintenance, but it's cute!

I took this this morning in the bathroom at work. I'm so proud. So please....Don't judge me...lol

Very cute!!! No judgement here...I slept cute when I was transitioning too. But just think, after you BC, you will no longer had to sleep cute again. LOL!!
