Hey everyone, I hope you are enjoying your evening. When I did my twists, it made me think of the time that I did them when I was transitioning. I enjoyed creating my twists as a natural more than I did as a transitioner .  When I was a transitioner, my two-strand twists were thin and stringy. The positive side was that my hair was long enough to do an updo. I kept the twists in for two days and took them out.  However, as a natural my twists are curly, full, and healthy looking ; they look like kinky twists up close. They were fun for me to create because I liked seeing them curl up.  I have had them in for 4 days now. My twists are a bit frizzy from the misty rain, but I am going to try and keep them in for another week.



Hair Prep for Braid Outs In the picture, I had about 2 months worth of new growth. One of the things that I really like about the natural hair process is the fact that you can wash your hair and let it be. I like that I can wash and braid it (while wet) in the morning, and take it out the next morning to find waves or curls. The picture shows my nightly regimen of plaiting my hair. I was using bobby pins to secure my braids, but I found that hairpins do a better job. I used the Hawaiian Silky Gel Activator on my hair and Softee Coconut Oil Hair Scalp Conditioner. I love the product by Softee. It is inexpensive and a good moisturizer . The results are in the picture below.  Braid Out results I kept my hair wavy for a few days. Then, I started to get antsy again lol. I wanted to find a style that I would be comfortable with wearing every day. I remember reading a lot of  Black hair care magazines when I was a child. Sophisticate's Black Hair Magazine was my favorit...
