Stylin’ at Church

Nov 16, 2003

My flat twist-out came out wonderful. Although my 'rents were chasing me around the house with their hairspray, I told myself I loved it and I knew it had just enough sheen in it.  I wouldn't let 'em break me down!  What I did was, I rubbed my Kemi Oil up and down my flat twists.  Then I carefully unraveled each flat twist, one twist at a time. This took maybe 5-7 minutes do do, just to show how careful I was trying to be. When I was done, I just moved some twists around and there you have it.   I put my pantyhose hairband on the front and pushed it back to show my hairline and that's it. I can't wait to see the developed pic of it :)

Later on that day, my parents saw it completely done and they actually liked it.  My first natural hair complement from my parents :D

In the evening, I was all pumped up and wanted to do my lil' sis' hair in the same style! She has short relaxed hair, maybe 5" long tops.  She has really short hair about 1" long at the back. So what I did was I rubbed Sta-Sof-Fro Leave-In through her hair and sprayed my Infusium Leave-In Conditioner.  I parted each of her twists no more than .5" apart because her hair was so short.  I did her twists from the top of her head down to the sides of her head, and the twists at the back down to the nape of her neck. I used ORS Twist & Lock Gel which did wonders in giving moisture and shine to her hair.  It got a bit slippery though when reaching the ends of her twists, but I was able to make it work. Total styling time was about 3.5hrs. Man was I tired, but I was so pleased with the results. I can't wait to post the pics :) Again, when I left my mom called me from work just to tell me she loved what I had done to Bev's hair ;)
