Switched from flat twists meeting at my crown to 8 flat twists, twisted over to my right side. This style is easier and faster. I'm going to try to stick with this through the end of July. Will take a pic this weekend to update.

After washing/deep conditioning/steaming my hair, I braided my hair in about 10-12 plaits. I will take them out tomorrow. I'm hoping I like my hair, because I used some new products from Darcy's B.

I did the LOC Method tonight. I spritzed my hair with water/juices and berries(L), Anita Grant's Monoi oil (O), and Hair dew(C). I placed my hair in two twists. I'm planning to keep my hair up until Wed or Thurs.

After almost 6 weeks in my cornrows, I'll be taking them down this weekend. They are still nice and moisturized but look a hot frizzy mess. I have a few appts next week and I don't wanna scare anybody. lol

I'll be pampering my hair by clarifying, doing a protein treatment and a nice steam session with an ultra moisturizing DC. For the next few weeks, I'll continue pampering it by washing/steaming every 7-10 days and wearing it in it's natural curly state then bunning. I've already made my appt for next month to get more braids installed.

Last night, I washed/DC and set under my steamer for 45 minutes(used Shescentit's Banana Brûlée MDC). Styled my hair with Oyin's Hair Dew, Shescentit's Juicy Berry Buttercream, and theirPapaya Curly Soufflé. I put my hair in about 8-10 twists. I'm planning to do an updo later today.

I've been doing buns everyday for like the past month. My scalp hurts on my crown area from bunning so I'm trying banana clips hoping it'll hold a little looser.. This is that I came up with

I have been in a puff since Tuesday of last week. Enough is enough. Will be putting it back into flat twist after I wash this evening.

On Saturday I shampood, deep conditioned, and put in 8 twists with kinky curly knot today and curling custard. It took until this morning for them to be completely dry! I'm wearing a twist out bun until the weekend. Next weekend I will redo the process and sit under the dryer for at least an hour to speed up the process.

Still bunning. I did a quick length check and found that I'm finally at hip length (yay!!). My hemline is a V, so the rest of the summer I'll be thickening up to a full U. I'm happy with my progress :)

I think I cheated a bit. But today I pulled my twist back in a ponytail and attached a bun I made with kinky twist hair...I think this will be my go to style when I don't want to take my twist down.

Still loving this challenge!

The set of small twists with braided roots I put in near the end of May. They will be in for another 2 weeks if I can manage it.

Your twist look like mine. What length are you? My twist usually only last a week, but I normally take them down before the end of the week anyways.

My hair is almost armpit on the sides and near my bra-strap in the back. Yesterday marked 3 years since my BC.

Bunned up for the week. This bun was done on old flexi rod hair. I moisturized really well before putting it in as all I'll be doing is spritzing it and not taking it down until Friday. My edges/roots have started to revert from the flexi rod set but that's fine.
