Try, Try Again

Nov 26, 2003

I wanted to do another twist-out for Thanksgiving, so on this day I washed my hair.. um.. with conditioner--yeah, I thought I'd give it another try.  Actually, I've been doing this on and off for the past 2 wks; it's just really convenient.  *boldly* Although I still prefer my shampoo ;)  Anyway, I did 2-layer flat twists in an attempt to lesson the frizzy ends I get when I flat twist-out my hair.  I also twisted tighter (the hair pieces between my fingers, I don't mean pulling hair out of my scalp) to help stretch the hair. Instead of combing the ends (of the pieces of hair I'm flat-twisting), I simply used my fingers to pull and stretch out the hair at the end. I think combing it makes it come out frizzy.  My flat-twists are coming out more beautiful with every new try.  With these, I added my Carol's Daugher products: Hair Butter (moisture), Hair Milk (ends), Mimoso (shine, pleasant smell), and Amen Oil (hair sheen, scalp).  I spritzed Setting Lotion over it.   I wore my satin scarf over it and let it dry overnight.
Prep Time: 2 hrs.
