That's what I usually do. But I left it alone this time.

I don't know how I missed those twist and that twist out!! You did an Awesome job!!!

Not too overpowering, but the Egyptian Musk is lingering a little too long for me. I'll stick with unscented in the future. The consistency of both hair milks is VERY different than the sample I had. They are very runny and watery and my sample was much thicker. I'm going to email customer service to see what up wit dat (I that SNL skit).

Just an update on the above. I sent the products I received back to KBB. Apparently, I had a bad batch. So my money was refunded and she sent me an Egyptian Musk hair milk compliments of KBB. The consistency is what I expected and the smell is a little better, although still too much for me. All in all, I'm happy with the resolution. This happened to me with another company, and it was also resolved beyond my expectations. The lesson in all of this is that if you're not satisfied, speak up. Any company worth its salt will gladly resolve the situation for you.

Your twists look really good. Are you parting your hair or do you just grab and twist?

Thanks! I part with my fingers, then just grab and twist. I tried once to use a rattail comb to part. The comb didn't make it very far.

I've even had a few nightmares where I thought I was putting conditioner in my hair, but it was a relaxer. So...that's a clear indication to me that I need to ease up on the hair boards and YouTube a little bit. I'll be limiting myself to one hour a day, and some days, I'm going to try to do nothing hair related at all. We'll see how this works out.

On a side note, I tried a braid out where you twist the ends. I made them too big and didn't braid them into a style, so it was a mess. Perhaps in the future I'll try again, but for now I think I'll stick with wash n gos and chunky twist outs for my style options.

That is funny. Well that explains why I haven't seen you that much on the boards....lol.
I have had a similar problem, keep thinking about my next DC and what I can mix....lol. I just want to mix, mix, mix....lol

oooooo I want to try them so bad, was it easy? I can't wait to see the twist out. That was a great idea to use the clips to keep hair stretched!! You go!!

It was easier than I thought it would be. I practiced the other day on a small section in the front, and it took quite a bit of concentration. But doing it today, I was able to twist while watching TV. You should try it! I definitely recommend practicing to get the hang of it!

Those strands of hair look similiar to mine expect I would added some "o" stands and some straight ones too.

I've tried 3 strand twist before and it definitely takes some concentration. You have inspired me to give it a try soon.

I cant wait to see the twist out. What products did you use to twist your hair?

CANT WAIT TO SEE THE TWIST OUT

Your hair looks nice and shiny.

You know, I'm really glad you said you have some straight pieces. For the longest time, I was clipping what I thought were scraggly straight ends left over from my BC. I was clipping every week, perplexed as to why it seemed that I was finding so many random straight pieces. Then I finally realized they were growing out of my head like that. You can really tell when I do a wash n go.

The only thing I used to twist was Qhemet's AOHC. I didn't even use a leave-in this time. I used AO WC to shampoo and deep condition.

@Intelligentbeauty: Me too. I hope it turns out well.

@BBD: Thanks! I'll attribute that to the Qhemet.

I like your twists...whats the purpose of a three strand twists vs. a three strand braid or two strand twist. I cant wait to see your twist out Im sure it'll be great. And AOHC is wonderful for softening and moisture...it gives you great shine.

Your front strands seem a lot like my strands all over but my hair is soooo dense I cant see any of those curls once my hair is washed. So a wash and go may never work for me.

I can't wait to see your three strand twist. I have been practicing. One moment I have it then the next I don't. I have to practice a little bit more before I try them on my hair.

It appears it will take some concentration because when I tried doing it free hand...I was braiding !

Waiting patiently on pics

^^^ me too!

Did the stretching technique work?

@adiaha: I saw that Pinkrage gave you some info on the difference between two strand and three strand twists (thanks, Pinkrage!) so hopefully that helped.

@Chrs: Thanks!

@Pinkrage: Definitely keep practicing. I'm still surprised I was able to do it.

@IB and BBD: Sorry. Pics are coming.

@Lynn: I think it worked. They didn't shrink as much as they would have if I hadn't clipped them.
