1BlessedNatural: Bantu-knot out done on dry hair Happy Thursday, my blessed naturals! If you are looking for a fluffier and fuller twist-out, you may want to try twisting on dry hair. My twist and Bantu knot outs come out better when I do them on dry re-twisted or braided dry hair, but I have to apply a water based moisturizer and oil before twisting. If I do not use a moisturizer, my twist-out comes out with less definition because it doesn't set. Wet twist-outs give me a lot of definition, but my hair is less fuller. As a result, I have to fluff it out a lot.  1BlessedNatural: twist-out done on braid-out hair ( style ) Do you like your twist-outs better when they are done on wet hair, dry hair, or both? #naturalhairblog Related Articles: Twist-Out on Braid-Out Hairstyle                             Chunky Flat ...

1BlessedNatural: Braids and Braid-Out Happy Monday, my blessed naturals! I hope you all are having a great evening. My hair has been really dry due to the cold temperatures. My plan was to keep my hair in braids as my protective style, but I forgot how braids can make my hair look sparse. So, I ended up removing them this morning for a defined braid-out. The products I used were the Curls Creme Brule Whipped Curl Cream and 100% Coconut Oil on wet hair. I put my hair in medium size braids and twisted the ends. Afterwards, I created two french braids, rolled the ends, and pinned them in the back. My hair was allowed to dry overnight. In the morning, I unraveled the braids and put on a headband. I plan to mini twist my hair this week to give it rest.  1BlessedNatural: after washing my hair...  1BlessedNatural: Braids or plaits  french braided in preparation for a braid-out What is your fall protective styling choice? ...

If you wash and twist your hair before bedtime, you may wake up with damp hair. I have found a technique that may work for you... Put your hair in 3-4 sections and big clip each section. You can remove the clips and smooth your hair from root to tip (to remove some of the dampness), about 20-30 minutes before you leave. After you've finished getting ready, you can remove the clips from the hair, separate, fluff. This method works 8 out of 10 times for me. Do you have a problem with your hair drying overnight?
