I wanna start wearing braidouts and twistouts more. I need some motivation ladies. So many of you are really good at doing braidouts and twistouts and mine usually come out looking "weirdly shaped" and kinda dry.

Please share pics of your braidouts/twistouts!

**If you can, please be sure mention your regimen or at least how many twists/braids you used for your "out" style :yep:

TIA! :drunk:
 
Here's mine:

Here is a twistout that I did six months ago (in June):

I cowashed my hair, detangled, added a bit of coconut oil (or maybe it was castor oil) and made 10 individual twists with straws on the ends.
 
I know I share twistout pics wayyyy too much :giggle:

6 flat twists done on 90% airdried hair (I usually use cheapie conditioner as leave in, plus a little mousse)
 
I have a ton of them, lol. :grin: The Twist Challenge helps loads.

This was my Nappy-versary in April. I had braided my dry hair into about 10 braids that afternoon, co-washed, and took the braids out. My wet twist outs clearly shrink when wet.

This was a few months ago...day one of a twistout done on hair twisted with Baby Buttercreme. My twists were in for about a week here before I took them out.

This was a twist out done on two week twists. I used my shea butter mix for this one. I want to say that the Baby Buttercreme gives my twist outs a bit more length and hang than the shea mix. Both kept my hair soft, moisturized, and shiny.

Just a few updos...

Twists and twistouts have been good to me...I get tons of retention and growth. HHG!
 
This is a braid-out, I did about a week ago.
Sooo glad I'm starting to "get" some more natural styles. Was getting tired of rocking puffs. lol

What I did:

1. Did about 15-20 braids, and rolled them with 3/4 inch perm rods

2. Used Giovanni Smooth as Silk conditioner, and ECVO on ends

3. fluffed and threw on a headband!


**I've tweaked this, sometimes I use Lustrasilk Olive Oil Cholesterol or various conditioners- and I don't bother with the perm rods any more. lol
 
I'm still trying to perfect my technique, but here's what I'm doing now.

Twistout:

After DC my hair I let 75% of it air dry, then blowout the roots. From there I apply Giovanni Leave in Conditioner and Coconut Oil. I twist my hair into 16 plats overnight and take down in the morning.

Wow! I like how everyone's looks slightly different. Mine is my siggie.
I used Njoicreation's Herbal Pudding and Qhemet's AOHC and Burdock Root, about 6 big twists.
 
I only made four cornrows for this one to get the bigger waves. I use Giovanni Direct leave-in and the Frizz be Gone serum.

For this one, I made about 8 cornrows going straight back.

I love all of your twist outs ladies. I have a question, how do you all get it to be so full on the first day of taking them out? I have started on re-twisting every 3 days or so and by the third day it's really full and looks great but on the first day I have limp hair sometimes.
 
Everyone's hair is simply lovely! I have a question also....how do you handle wash/cowash day? I have never tried this due to fear of what happens on wash day.

Can you please share your techniques? I can only picture lots of knots and shedding...thanks in advance!!

My natural hair was previously stretched out and dry before achieving this twistout. I two-strand twisted my hair is 6 sections using a small amount of Aussie Moist Conditioner on each twist and used 6 gray flexirods on each twist. In the morning, I took out the flexirods, unravelled the twists, fluffed and go.
 
Shaking out the roots (I hope that makes sense) I get all my fingers through my roots and shake them but I don't run my fingers through the length of my hair.
