Twists on dry hair? A no-go for moi.
I decided to try twisting on dry hair, or at least 95% dry. My hair felt lovely(after using my Broaer conditioner), so I was pretty confident my twists would look as nice as my hair felt.
WRONG!!! I repeat....WRONG!
They look sad. So sad, I've put my hair in a low-bun. I NEVER wear low-buns or ANY buns on freshly twisted hair. I let them free, but it looked THAT BAD. The only good thing is that it looks decent in a bun, but my twist out will look pathetic should I even attempt to wear one. I may just cowash with my twists in just to give them life again before even considering wearing a twist out.
So, what have I learned?
1. Unless I'm doing fat twists, I cannot do [my regular-sized] twists on dry hair.
2. My twists look MUCH BETTER when twisted on wet/damp hair. Product penetrated better and my twists look like, you know...I actually spent the last hour and a half twisting them. lol
3. I know that if I have a crappy hair day, the bun will never let me down.
4. No more dry twists attempts in the middle of the week. ;)
ETA: "Proof" of crappy twists, since no one believes me. :P Try to keep your *side-eyes* at a minimum. LMAO!
Frizzy/fuzzy crown
Unwanted asymmetrical-ness. lol
Scraggly-looking ends lacking plumpness

I'm so jealous you guys can bun.... I can't so when I have bad hair day, its either a puff of banana clipped hair.
You'll be able to bun in NO TIME! :) And trust me, once you're able to, you'll be itching to cut it off....like I am right now. :P
OMG I have no idea what you are talking about. They look amazing, I wish mine were that long and juicy looking!
Thanks Fina, but trust me when I say it's the camera. LOL! HD cameras make EVERYTHING look better. :P
But how did the twistout look?
It didn't look good at all, Suburban. But then again, I like my twist-outs to look a certain way. It just wasn't doing it for me.
With wet twists and the subsequent twist-out, there's a uniformity I don't get with WnGs. With the dry twist out, I'd have to roll the ends just for it to be worn like I normally would wear a twist-out. :(
