Irresistible,
Possibly b/c I did it on 4 day old hair. So, my hair came out kind of sticky from the moisturizing sprays I use every day. I'll have to do it on freshly washed hair next time.

thank you erica78, I'm learning it all with Don't speak defeat. I love her how to's and I decided to share some of the things that worked for me with you folks.
Don't Speak Defeat, I figured out that if you want tight curls, do about 10 or more twists, but if you want loose waves do only 4 to 6 on dry hair. I prefer loose waves to curls, that's why I do it on air dried hair.
Hairlove, practice makes perfect. at first my set looked awful, and yes, it does look bad when the hair has a lot of product buildup. I did another set today and it didn't turn out as good because my hair was heavy with so many products being acumulated during the week.

No, i wasn't able to. I'm currently sporting a homemade wash and set (my hair is out for the first time in a longggg time
) My girlfriend had invited me to her birthday dinner party and since she was doing her hair like that, i was not able to 'copy' her.

The curls turned out WAAAYYY too tight for my liking. My fiance said that I looked like a mad scientist!!
I had to go to the store and didn't have time to fix it, but found that the rain helped loosen the curls a bit. It was tolerable by the end of the day. I'll try it again -- maybe on drier hair, or I'll do fewer knots. I did about 10 knots last time on sopping wet hair. Also, I let them dry completely before taking them out. Some people have suggested letting the waves hang a bit to finish drying. That seems like a good idea!

If you want it curly, you may try doing double stranded twists then wrap the twist around itself and secure with a bobby pin.
If you want it more wavy, just take the section of hair and twist it around itself and secur ewith a bobby pin.
You may do it on dry or wet hair...I find mine come out better on wet hair and my ends curl more...b/c my hair takes a while to dry, I try to do them either earlier in the day or make sure that I have at least an hour or two the next day b/f I take them out...and voila - I get a great curly do!
You may also try flat twisting from the front to the back and then wrapping the end of each twist around itself and secure with a bobby pin - this produces a great curly/wavy look (depending how many flat twists you do) too - and is quick and easy.
Although I'm natural, I think it will work for relaxed 4a/b hair.
Hope this helps!
