NappFrizz83 · Jul 3, 2008

My camera card broke. I've already ordered another, and as soon as I get it I'm going to do a video tutorial for this kind of updo:

OMG i love the end result..it looks crazy cool..i've never tried twisting my hair. do you twist hair wet or dry? and what do you use on then while twisting

E. Princess · Jul 3, 2008

Thank you, NappiFrizz.

I use castor oil or shealoe and usually twist while damp.

Those cornrows are nice. Did you do it yourself? How do you cornrow the back of your hair upwards?? :ohwell:

JustKiya · Jul 3, 2008

I don't have any instructions, but I've found that if you start with two strand twists, you can make almost any updo you could see on short straight hair. :yep:

bumping...as I would love to see some more pics of natural updos.... :yep:

Wow...these are all beautiful! :yep:

How did you maintain these? What was your routine? How often did you take down and redo the twists??

Thank you! As far as maintenance, I wore a satin/silk scarf every night. Normally I kept them up for a week...maybe a week and a half...or dare I say two weeks. If you've been through my albums before then you'd know that I never keep a style in too long no matter how long it took me to do it. I get bored easily! :yep:

I redid the twists when I saw it was necessary, usually they held up until it was time to take them down.

I had 2 layers of twists. Flat twists inthe front and single strand in the back. My head is big and flat twists going all the way back is not a good look. I wore this for a few days and then rocked a twist out.

My updo for an afrocentric event. These were done on medsize 2 strandtwists. Took about 3 hours and lasted 2 weeks.

Oh my gosh girl!! You and your hairstyles are beautiful. You have some skills with twisting. I wish I could do all of that!

Thank you! It took me a while to get there...I had a mishap back when Nads first came out... :nono:

I wish!! I seriously considered doing natural hair on the side for a quick second, but I don't know too many naturals so I let that idea sit on the back burner. However, I do have a video on YouTube: http://youtube.com/watch?v=nTJcRs9xDtI

NappFrizz83 · Jul 13, 2008

the other day i was wearing my normal hairstyle (back and clipped up) and i took it down and started scratching my head and was like hmm i could push the top up into a hump and keep the back clipped up
the original style

the rough drafts of my style

looks ashy with the flash on but whatev

NewYorkgyrl · Jul 13, 2008

Great thread!!!! You ladies are giving me some really great ideas. I need to keep practicing so that I can someday do this. WOW! You ladies are an inspiration.

This is gorgeous! Did you have to flat twist over to the side to get them to hang, or pin them over, or are the twists on the other side put into the bun? Can't wait until my hair is long enough to do this.

I put the video of the updo I posted on the first page on Youtube. Here's the link.
