So i decides to try something that my mom would do to my hair ALL the time in elem/middle school. The famous two strand twist. I mean, when she would do em back the they would be all fat n juicy like little brown grubs and would b all over the place, when i would take em down i would have a perfectly curly fro...

But now its a diff story. I mean, idk wat happened. I [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] would put up pics 2 show the disaster but i dnt hava cam, which a good thing or else id be embarassing myself.
But anywho. My twist were so flat and just hung there. They didnt pouf up or anything. My hair texture hasnt changed (that i've noticed) and i still use the same junk in my hair.... a lil conditioner, a tiny bit of oil and water...

what size were they? it seems at least for me, my twist need to be on the med-large side to have body, also i get better result when i do them wet. i just use shea butter after washing and conditioning. some pics are on my blog

Maybe try using twist n loc creme on larger twists while damp. Let dry overnight and see what happens. Hope it works out for you. Also one of my favorite things about styling my natural hair is seeing how it responds to different manipulation. Everyday is an adventure LOL!

okay so i like had em like kinda big. n they stayed in over night but when they dried they where jus as blah. but when i took em down my hair was nice n curly [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

so i didthis. i started doin em over but like tiny. like a quarter of the size (like the size i see most ppl with) and dry they were still like kinda flat but it had body. only thing is i got TIRED less than halfway through. and when i got in the shower n washed my hair they pretty much just slipped out anyways

will try again one day when i have the energy to twist my whole darn head... but how 2 get em 2stay wen they get wet is da new question
