not too fond of raking, makes my shrinkage worse. but it was a nice change :)
 
what's this? a style! (sorta lol) I used to wear my hair half up half down a lot back in my relaxed days. I tried doing this a few months ago and it came out really weird because of how short my hair in the front is. The front still doesn't reach all the way to the back, but it's making progress!!

I know this is really stupid, but I felt really proud of myself today :) Even if this took a kazillion bobby pins.
 
Man...I'm boring when it comes to styles. :(. I'm at wk 16 post relaxer so with the two textures, not much I can do but braid or bun. This is from today. Last night, I washed with shea moisture shampoo, did a black tea rinse, cond. with Aussie Moist and then airdried with Giovanni direct leave in, a bit of coconut/argan oil and scarf. After it was dry I also smoothed a tiny bit of Shescentit Seyani hair butter and re-scarfed.

It was airdried in two braids in the back before I turned it into one braid so you can sort of still see the center part.

@SelahOco Thank you! And that was a part of my problem before too, the shape would look all wonky because of how much shrinkage I get in the front. My hair was about 75-80% dry in those pics so it ended up shrinking only a little bit more once it was fully dry. I had used more styling gel than I normally do so that it wouldn't super shrink. Plus the parts of my hair that give me the most grief shrinkage-wise were the parts that were pinned back.


ETA: Oh and on average I have like 75% shrinkage in the front, 50% in the middle and sides (my crown is more like 10-20%) and like... 30-40% in the very back. So basically a funky looking mullet. Headbands are my friend :)

As usual her braiding is the bomb.com.

Hey girlie, it is twisted at the base straight to the ends. Sorry to hear about the bad braiding experiences u had. If I could ship her to u I would. My friend @ home gets her rope twist done by a J'can girl there. I will find out the details and PM you, if you'd like.

How do you keep your twistout looking so nice after a week? Do you retwist everynight?

My hair is very curly but 'afro' (as opposed to coily/cottony) in it's natural state. Here is a pic.

I am convinced this is why my hair keeps it's twist-out so well. When i set it after i wash i do about 12 twists with pillow satin rollers on the ends and of course undo when dry.
The first day it is extremely tight and i usually wear it in a up do. During the week i remoisturise with ORS Olive Oil Moisturiser and re-twist the hair line for definition and the rest is in four big twists and every night i place the satin rollers on the ends. By the end of the week my hair is how want it to look. I have gone 2 weeks and it looks more or less the same but i usually wash after a week as i have product build up. I don't do braid-outs as the results are way to tight for me. Hope this helps.
