CONGRATS ON YOUR 1 month anniversary [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] .

Can you please show the pics of the twists in prior to the twist out?
Then the twist out pic?

3.5 hours of twisting isn't bad at all from what I hear from other naturals. I always wondered, how do you get the back nicely on shorter hair? I have a hard time doing the back nicely on my length right now.

Monday I shampooed my hair. I felt it was time, since I hadn't shampooed in a 3 weeks. I used Kinky Curly Come Clean, and for a conditioner I used Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose DC. For my leave in I mixed KC-Knot Today with a little jojoba oil. My hair felt soft, and moisturized.

As you all know I've been trying to get down the twist, so I spent 3.5 hours slowly and methodically twisting my hair. These are my best twists yet, I've had them in since then, wearing scarves....Tomorrow I will take them down. I'll post pictures tomorrow when I take them out.

So that is new with me.

I was just thinking about summertime. Im so over winter:evil:. I live in Michigan, the winters seem to last forever. Just dreaming of the day that I can wash n' go, and actually leave the house!

Happy anniversary! Very Happy

You're doing great! Would love to see pics of the twists!!!

I'm really happy with the results...
I've been trying twist-outs for 5 weeks now, and this is the best they have come out thus far.
oooop2 posted a link to perfecting the twist, and it was SO helpful.

Nice job on the twist out! You've done well just five weeks in. I like the headband too!
