@ Femmefox....just like your name...that look is foxy. I love it and trust me I will try it in the next couple of months.

Alright ladies...keep the pics coming ( I need to be saying that to myself!!!)

Thank you.

I really didn't go through an odd phase. I only wear wngs, but I loved each length stage, it was always something new.

My hair is getting to an awkward stage. My avatar is how I am wearing it now.

Here's some of my favs [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

@ hdthomas, is that a twisted mohawk? I like it on your lenghth, mine not so much.
@ Lynnieluv, your av doesn't look like an odd phase at all. Work it !!!!
@ Kuh-ree, keep at those twist, I've read practice makes perfect

Now, I am finally getting around to posting pics. Lately I have masted the twisted puff and I am loving it:

Any ideas on how to get a more defined twist out on this 3c/4a/4b hair of mine. Maybe it's just too short for what I was going for...huh.

I am my own worst critique. So I zoomed in on the twist out pic after I loaded.....and it doesn't look as bad as my mirror at home said it did. I guess it sort of an unorganized curly fro.

What product did you use to do the twist out? The key to a great twist out is the right product and small twist at your length.

My hair is losing it's 'fro shape. The sides and the back are growing down and the top is still growing up and out so I have to work a little harder to get the "right look"

My twistout product is more of a concoction. It is my shea mix (sheabutter, coconut oil, castor oil, almond oil, jojoba oil, glycerin, and Vit E) mixed with IC Fantasia gel. I wanted to go for the chunky look, but still got a fro. So I guess chunky is going to have to wait.

I like your chunky puff......but if you want more definition, you have to do the twist smaller so you won't have to separate them as much (not disrupting the definition)

I've been wearing a twistout for a while. Ignore the "I don't want to be at work" look on my face.

Is that a pillow and blanket in your office? [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

@Lynnie, LOL, yes. I have a pillow and a blanket. I will close my door and take a nap if need be!

@Nhappy and Natural, I did the big chop in May of 2009 (about 10 months natural). Here are the pics of my journey and my youtube video journey.

its just those 4 tiwsts on each side and the rest is a twist out. kinda gives a mohawk effect though

Ladies, ladies ladies!!!!!!! (can you tell I'm excited) I have officially done some 2 strand twists that are worthy of being worn outside the house. I love it!!!!!!![You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Looks good Nhappy Jackie!

Thanks FF

Hey ladies,

Just wanted to post some pics of my sculpted fro. Basically I just cowash, tshirt dry, added some leave-in, added some shea butter, pik'd my hair out a bit (I hadn't combed it since Jan), then used my fingers to part my hair on one side and patted into shape.

I too feel like I am in the Awkward phase, but am so loving the WnG Technique that use now. I just can't get the twist out down to save my life!

All of you ladies look lovely and are working them curls!
