I just saw his YouTube video with Taren and have it a try for the first timed on Sunday after an overnight Henna treatment. My hair is a lil' past APL bite it had shrunken to my neck. It was super quick but i want to find a better holding cream.
Sun- used Tresseme as condish and leave-in them added Argan Eco-styler.
Mon-used Tresseme as leave-in and tried Giovanni(so frothy) then applied a quarter aloe vera gel to each quandrant follewd by grapeseed oil. Results is less chunch &more movement.
Im going to make flaxseed gel this evening and also try to find a heavy styler. * having a hard time attaching photos from my phone its taking forever* first world problems lolwell... it shows now that I posted smh... The first pick is a stretched twistout the others are today- 2nd photo is left side and 3rd photo is right (more frizzy side)

Thanks for the tag, I managed to miss the previous question. I just do the regular method, but in 5-6 sections. After applying gel and oil to each section, I split it in half and make two twists. I dry my twists in an updo or under a beanie. When I take my twists down, I separate my curls into their natural clumps. Because I twist on super defined soaking wet hair, my coils are still clumped perfectly and are stretched out into "s" curls. It looks more natural than a twist out. Here's a pic from halloween last year. I lived in this style because it takes 25 mins in the shower and will dry in time for cocktail hour

You are just a cutie pie! Love the hair. So...at what point do you "shake"? How do you keep your sections separated and keep them from tangling?@Cattypus1

LOL thanks! I loosely twist each section in the shower to keep them stretched and out the way. I shampoo and condition each section, then go back and apply my stylers. After I seal each unraveled section with oil, I shake it out and quickly examine my curls to make sure they're behaving, before retwisting. I hope that makes sense!

I'm going to try this. How long does it last? Do you retwist at night?

I always restyle my hair after 4 days so I'm not sure how it will hold up on day five. I never retwist, I always sleep in a long bonet with my hair in a loose ponytail over the bonet. I put a satin scrunchie over my bonet to prevent breakage and creases while ensuring that my hair stays stretched.

Thanks! I've seen a youtuber do this before but of course I can't remember her name right now. I have a lot of shrinkage so I might have to try this@Cattypus1

I started trying this about 3 weeks ago, and of course I've had to find ways to help minimize the time I take. Overall this method has been working well for me. I've gone back to finger detangling and at takes me about 20 - 30 minutes to do my hair and shower from start to finish. And I have long hair. So I'm really liking it. I find that washing or cowashing my hair ever 3 - 4 days is working great. And I don't get as many knots or shed hair since I'm washing more frequently. Also, I've been using DevaCurl products and eco styler gel.

Huh. So that’s what I can call what I normally do on wash days.
I think it’s a bit subjective to each person what this should be called.
Definitely no shame on this guy. He’s bringing information, wether well known or not. Some will start calling it this method, some call it just full wash days, and I personally just call them wash days, because I run through most of the steps listed every 3-5 days anyways. Minus a brush and comb as well.

Yea he coined this at least 10 years ago. His YouTube channel has good info. I like that he shows it can be done on 4b/4c hair.
