I decided to take down my flat-twists yesterday to wear out; sat on the couch and proceeded to do so, not looking at a mirror or caring how it looked at that point. Figured I'd pull it back with a headband or scarf anyway so even if it looked a little crazy, I was prepared.
I get up to see what I would be working with and wouldn't you know.....I achieved the Corinne Bailey Rae(aka as the "CBR"). I was BEYOND excited. I literally started hopping up and down with glee. Seriously. And yes, I'm a grown woman getting excited over my hair. LOL!
The pic below was literally taken as soon as I got to a mirror. No fluffing. Just unraveled and went snap with my phone. LOL!
So how did I do it, you ask?
- I lightly blow-dried (using the lowest setting), using a paddle brush to help extend and dry quicker.
- Used only my leave in and oil(see previous blog posting).
- After wearing my hair in a loose/fluffy twist out, I sectioned/parted my hair into 7, starting from the right and applied Elasta QP Olive Oil & Mango Butter Moisturizer to each section being flat-twisted(focusing on the ends).
- I sealed my ends with my Natural Oasis oil, twisted those same twists into one big twist, tucked under and pinned, and covered with a satin scarf at night.
- The next day, I just unraveled and that's it!
Can you tell I was sorta feeling myself by the time I took this? LMAO! :P
cute!!!!!!
ReplyDeletei can't wait until my hair is this big lol
Looks SO great!! Loving it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, ladies!!
ReplyDeletei LOVE this look on you.
ReplyDeleteeven the flat twists look awesome!
you inspired me to try flat twists
(i'm @freeyourheart on twitter),
and they didn't turn out as well as yours.
it was so bad,
i didn't even take a pic.
i transitioned for 8 months,
and have been natural for one,
so maybe i need to give myself another couple of months to get some length to try this again.
still,
thanks for the inspiration!
Gorgeous!!!!
