Mini-Twist, Retwist Update on Day 6

Happy Friday everyone! I have left my twists alone to do as they please... all except drying out lol. My twists have settled into a style that I like. They have become puffy from the shower steam. The twists in the front have settled into a little side bang. I still use my Vitamin Oil and Roots of Nature products. The picture below  is an example of what happens when you pull your hair to one side while twisting... lesson learned! lol  It's been 6 days since the retwist and I am getting antsy. So, I may take them out and rock a twist-out for a few days or not lol. We shall see!

My First Attempt At Finger Coils

Hey everyone! I hope that you are enjoying your week :-) I started getting bored with my TWA. I wanted twists or finger coils without visiting the salon. So, I started watching YouTube videos. I realized the process was simple. So, I gave it a shot.... After I washed and deep conditioned my hair, I applied a leave-in conditioner. I did a test coil with just Eco-Styler gel. But, it wasn't heavy enough to hold my twists. This style actually took me five hours lol. I wasn't sure of the pattern that I wanted in the front & I took my time. Next time, it will probably take an hour or so... I parted each section with my finger and... I used the following products: Water Shea Butter Eco-Styler Olive Oil Gel Hawaiian Silky Activator Gel Then, I twirled the hair around my index finger finger. You can also use a Rat Tail comb also. I prefer to do finger coils because they are faster for me. Although they weren't perfect, I was happy with the results :-...
