Trying to flat twist my hair today. I have one side done. I have four sections left... I gave up on the roller set, since my ankles were really bothering. How long did it take you with the length I have? Im flat twisting into a style, so I don't have to deal with it for several days. . I'm wearing, so all I have to do is wear a scarf, and go.

@faithVA you already know I really like your flat twists- they're always so juicy and neat. This style is chic and shows how much your hair is taking off. Love it.

It probably took me about 45 minutes. The more twist the longer it takes. Twisting doesn't take much time.but getting the parts straight takes me a while. I also don't have any idea how I'm going to do the front until I get there.

The more you do it the faster you get.

Can't wait to see your finished product.

Thank you. Hey, I'm down if you are:lol:. If I had your hair for the weekend man, I'd spend one day and night out on the town enjoying your fabulous updo. The other I'd spend 'playing' in it, and give you a lush round wng to take home with you lol.

I don't do my hair standing up. I'm usually seated in front of the TV. If I need a mirror i use pillows or something else to prop it up. I part by feel.

Try moving a chair into your bathroom. If that doesn't work get a $10 over the door mirror from Walmart and sit in front of it. There's no need to stand while doing your hair.

@shortdub78 did you finish the twist. I might get the over the door mirror just because the light where my floor length mirror is isn't so good. Then I can do my hair in my bedroom and watch Netflix. Lol

@jennifer30 I'm no good at curl typing but your hair is growing so fast!
I didn't finish, but I finished my dd's hair... I'm going to finish mine tonight. My SIL said she would have finished it for me too! I wasn't thinking

Yeah KammyGirl suggested that too. I thought I could handle it. I have livedo reticularis, accompanied by Raynaud's syndrome. It hurts to be on my feet. My ankles start to swell, I have pain, and like my circulation is being cut off. It happens when I'm very cold as well. I start to develop purple spots all over my ankles and calves.

I had originally planned on shampooing my hair Wednesday or Thursday for vacation but due to some major itchiness I ended up washing it on Monday. My style was doing ok but not looking as fresh so last night I redid my twist.

I started with avg on my scalp to calm my scalp down. I used TGIN leave in for moisture. I layered As I Am So Much Moisture over that and twisted back up. My hair felt nice and moisturized even before the new application of product. So my hair should o fine for the next week. I will remoisturize again the middle of next week.

I'm such a bum and I suck at parting my hair... I didn't finish. I wanted to start the parts over to make them neater. I'm going to do that today and I'm working on crocheting a tank top too. Hopefully I will finish both today. I'll have a nice hairdo, an a cute top to wear! Winning!

So I dyed my hair light brown but when I take a pic my hair looks black. I can only see the color in real life....that's weird

It happens often when you try to capture colour on camera. My henna colour doesn't always show in pics how it looks in real life. Are you taking pics in natural light, without flash?

I'm never going to make SL. Whenever I get some growth I fell like my hair doesn't look neat so I clean it up and then I'm back where I started. I need someone to keep me from cutting my hair. My obsession with trimming and evening things up is getting out of hand. I just cut the mullet two weeks ago. Scissors were not supposed to touch my hair again until August.
