SheeTacular's Hair Journey - Slide show!

SheeTacular_Napps wrote:Thanks KNH!! You are very welcome. I think there is a 3 strand twist thread and some videos in the forum. I will try to find them and post the link. There are vids on youtube as well. If you can picture tether ball and how the ball goes around the pole, imagine three balls going around an imaginary pole all going in the same direction. When done well they should remind you of those cotton candy swirl stick thingies. So your twist out has tighter spiral coils then wavy coils from regular twists.

Okay...I'm going to check out the thread and videos tonight!!! Thanks

I'm loving your bentonite clay results. I've read about this and I'm very curious...not sure how this will react with henna. More research to do...

BENTONITE CLAY IS AWESOME. I LOVE IT AND I AM GLAD YOU LIKE IT TOO. IT REALLY MAKES THOSE CURLS POP.

@KNH, NO REACTION WITH HENNA. JUST DON'T USE TOGETHER.

Hello Ladies!!

Well I am finding it more and more difficult to keep up with everyone\'s thread (including my own) so I need to prioritize somethings. I am finishing my writing course which means this will only make my visits even less. Anyways my hair has not taken a back seat. I am still taking care of Rogue because ole girl is very demanding.

So Friday after the Bentonite treatment. I put in my Aussie Insurance leave in and my shea butter mix then twisted in really really big twists and tied it up and went bed. My intention was to do mini three strand twists Saturday morning but that didn\'t happen. I prefered to sleep most of the day. When I got up I toyed with the idea of a blow out because it was still damp and then I tried two big flat twists on the side then a fro in the back. I took a nap and when I woke up I wasn\'t feeling the twists and since I had so much curl I figured I would try the accordion method. So I hopped in the shower around 4pm rinsed finger detangled used Aussie moist and scrunched in some Eco Styler custard in.

Curls were popping but it was very white and I had to be at the church at 5:30 cuz our musical was that night. I have no idea why I thought it would work under short notice. Anyways I used paper towel to dab some of the white out of it. Then I decided to use my black scarf as a headband my curls in the back had great clumpage and hangtime now the rest of my head which had a tighter curl clumped but there was no hangtime to be had. Anyways I think I have pics somewhere I will have to post later. It dried soft, very soft. I was surprised. I will definitely try it again. I wore the WnG Sunday and Monday.



I didn\'t work Tuesday so I henna\'ed for 2 hours (it was mixed since Friday) cowashed with V05 moisture milks and bioinfusion Rosemary mint (my last bottles YAY ). I then applied Giovanni 50/50 and design essentials stimulating condtioner to deep condition and detangle. I rinsed then divided into sections and applied grapeseed oil and blow dried on cool. Well partially blow dried. I forgot I HATE blow drying my hair it takes too long.


I then used Shea mix #5 (1 TBSP each of Shea, mango, cocoa butter, olive oil, grapeseed oil, almond and filtered water melt cool then whip) and my Eco custard and three strand twisted.



My hair was harder with the custard this time. I think its because I was low on the eco olive oil so i used the rest of the eco crystal clear in the mix. So when I was half way finished I had an epiphany to add some activator gel to the mix. That did the trick good hold but much softer. I also stopped using the mix and used straight shea and mango butter. I am really going to get rid of all this product soon. I have pics of my bootleg blow out and the three strand twists. I\'m trying to get a good pic to show you ladies especially since Mz. Thang requested it a while ago. . I promise to get my stuff together.


I really think twists are gonna be the way to go. I think I need more length to get my WnGs to look like I want them to. Actually I don\'t think they will I think my hair won\'t have any hang time no matter how long it grows I believe it will just shrink more and more.

I know its long but I had to catch up.

PS. Funny thing happened on my way into work today. I reached up to adjust my collar as I walked across the parking lots. I just happened to have my car keys in my hand the ring caught in my hair and I tried to work it free and the strand from the base of my twist literally worked in to the keyring so the ring was fully secured in my hair. I really tried to be gentle to get that sucker out. I did finally but I\'m sure I broke some strands.

Not really because the first time I read about them I could picture it in my head and did them pretty easily. It's harder doing the back. Now if ya'll get up off them donations I might be able to do a video on it one day!!

I think I'm channeling Nubie

I'm sure they look great on her. I think they look like those marshmallow swirl things...so cute!!
The last slide show are the pics I took when I finished them but they are not good ones. It was after 1 am and I didn't feel like fighting with the lighting and what not. I will take some before I take them down. They are great for twist outs.

LOL @ channeling Nubie!!

LOL! YOur twist outs look pretty good!

Thanks Scrugs!!

Check out this blog.

I would love my hair to be that red. It's always been what I wanted to try.

Oooo I love that red!!! I want some color in my hair but I'm so indecisive! I don't know if I wanna go Firey Red all over or highlights of some Bodacious Blonde ... Decisions decisions
Well I think you should go for the red Shee
