Two Strand Twists for Protective Styling
Soooo....I have been natural for almost two years now. I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on styling etc. But the thorn in my side are twists that are meant to be kept in for protective styling. My hair, LOVES them. It grows like a weed on some kind of new crack! LOL But I look AWFUL! I have tried them dry, I have tried wet, I mastered the criss cross jazz so that my scalp doesnt show, I did them so tiny it took me a week to take them down, I've done medium, big, I've curled, I braided them for the crinkly look....ughhh! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] I always get the same results, tiny snake like twists with no volume or body. HELP!! I have SUPER thick hair! Stretched it comes to the bottom of my neck in the back and to my collar bone in the front. So what is the freakin deal?! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] What am I missing? I would post a pic to illustrate but I'm too gosh darned ashamed! LOL

maybe you can add extensions to get the fullness you are looking for. Or maybe you can pin the twists up in some type of style and keep on rolling. Leave a few haning in the face, maybe.
We really need to see a picture to help. Sometimes it's not as bad as you think.

Hi, CocoaDreamee. Go to the "General" forum thread. How to post a picture is the 4th entry.

CocoaDreamee, we must be hair twins, because I feel your pain girl. I have the same problem. Snake twists, LOL, I like that one. I've just been looking for something else to do as a protective style. I like roller sets, maybe that can work for you. The hair will be off your shoulders and it lasts all week. My hair loves twist outs, but not twists to stay in. I have come to the conclusion that my hair just doesn't want to do it. She has a mind of her own. If you find an answer to the riddle let me know. Good luck.

Hi CD! You may want to try medium to large twists on dry hair. This may give you the volume you desire. For hold and definition, you can try gel, aloe vera gel/gelly, shea butter or any thick butter or shea-aloe (mix of shea and aloe vera gel/juice or gelly).
