getting frustrated

Hello ladies,
So since I've bc'd (7-7-10) I have been wearing wash n go's. I have about 3 1/2 inches of hair and im getting tired of this style. I have tired bantu knot outs and I liked that okay but i really want to wear two strand twists and twist outs. This is where I get frustrated because I have different textures of hair, very loose almost straight in the front and top, and the back is more curlier and holds a twist. Last night was my 2nd attempt at twists (on dry hair), the first time i tried on wet hair = FAIL! It held the twist better on dry hair than wet hair. With that said is there anyone else with this issue and if so what have you done to combat the unraveling of looser textured hair? THANKS

What products are you using to do your twists with? You may have to use some type of gel or a product with hold to get the looser textues to hold together. Also try applying a hair clip at the ends until your twists are set after applying product to keep them from unraveling.

My hair texture is loose at the top also. I use a butter and a gel on all of my hair when I do twists but I can get away with applying less product in the back of my hair since that texture is tighter and holds together better. If mine start to unravel I usually just retwist the sections.

So Wow I have the same problem...my hair right in the front is barely curly and hair in the back even though its 3 inches stretched is so curly is looks about a 1/4 of an inch long..ha! Newho what i do to help...I seal my ends with a shea butter mix with essential oils. The shea butter is so thick that it holds the loose hair together. Even tho i feel i can find a better solution, it is one that works for now. I've also tried pinning down the twist right after twisting them....but i only do that when i plan on taking them out after they dry. O and I always do this on wet hair...havent tried it on dry hair yet!....hope this helps!

Thanks everyone! I will use your suggestions next time! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
