1BlessedNatural - Banded Twist-Out for Smoother Roots Happy Monday, my blessed naturals! This weekend, I washed, deep conditioned, and put my hair in big twists for a twist-out. When I do twists for a twist-out, I usually pin curl them to get more definition. This time, I decided to use the banding method to elongate them and smooth my roots out a bit. I applied my usual products: Aunt Jackie's "Knot on My Watch" detangler , Cantu Creamy Hair Lotion , and 100% Coconut Oil to damp hair. Then, I let it dry overnight. In the morning (for church), I unraveled the twists and used a wide-tooth comb to lift the roots and hide the parts. I liked my results, but I don't like my hair to stick straight out. Later on this week, I'm going to do the same method above, but I'm going to pin curl the banded twists. I will keep you all updated.

Happy Wednesday, my blessed naturals! Today, I was flipping through my camera and found some photos of my hair back in December of last year. At the time, I was still dealing with protein overload , but I still liked the way my twists came out. My plan was to see if I could do big twists nice enough to wear outside of the house, but I did not like the space between the parts. So, I pinned my twists together in a style and added a cowrie shell .  If you are having an issue with your hair, I think it's important to try to find something you like about it (smile). Because my curl pattern was not the same (at the time) due to the protein overload, my hair was a little more stretched and I didn't mind. I also liked the twist out from these twists. Can you think of a time when a style did not come out the way you planned, but you rocked it anyway? Related Articles: How to Put Cowrie Shells in Natural Hair      ...
