Twists this morning after my walk
Hola Chicas,
O—M—G. I’m so unbelievably tired! I went to sleep at 7 p.m. last night (missed 16 and Pregnant, Basketball Wives, and Rupaul’s Drag Race, lol!”> only to wake up this morning feeling like the living dead. A wretched mess. Baby girl is draining me… but I guess it’ll all be worth it!
Anyway, hopefully you’ll recall that I used to use duckbill clips to secure my roots when doing a Twist-n-Curl. In the past months, I’ve tried braiding the roots (tedious”>, but most recently I’ve had great success with twisting the roots as if I’m about to flat-twist. To see it in action, check out the video on this post where CurlyChronicles starts her flat-twist.
Here’s what I do:
- I section out the hair I want to twist
- I then split that into two—top and bottom, as if I’m about to start a flat-twist (or french braid/cornrow”>.
- I complete 4 or 5 rotations of twists with the top section, and then grab the rest of the hair (from the bottom”> and twist normally.
Set free without fluffing
This allows me to twist closer to my roots without stressing my edges—more definition, bye-bye poofy roots! I also no longer have a need for the duckbill clips (makes for more comfortable nights”>, and even use a satin scarf on my wet crown to help the strays lay down!
I’m on a ‘wearing my hair out’ kick, but I’m sure it’ll be back in the Princess Leia buns very soon.
Later Gators,
Nik
ETA: I’ve been sitting in the same spot for 2 hours– I did my taxes (can we say procrastination”>, and blogged. I just went to stand up, and lo and behold, my feet are swollen… not a good look.
