Think this is my most defined twist out to date.

 

[guyaneseyankee]

Hey ladies,
Just want to re-introduce myself after many years. Looking forward to inspiration and NOT becoming a product junkie

Hi @guyaneseyankee. Looking good.

Twist-out #3 - I am still working on it without any styling product. The back and sides still fall strangely:

I like the front/crown better, although my hair, once again devoured my part:

What a lovely twistout! And with no products? I'm impressed!
Have you tried using a pick to (gently) lift the roots? That might help you re-shape the back more to your liking!

I keep forgetting I have one, LOL! Thanks for the compliment and tip.

Today's twistout.

My ends shrink & coil in random directions. I haven't found a method to smooth them.

 

[Sharpened]

@Bibliophile you deserve your own thread to show off that gorgeous mane of yours.

Soultanicals Twist Assist twist out that needed a little more time to dry. Turned into a puff. I ended up losing the tendrils.

 

[melahnee]

absolutely loving my new cut. I kinda feel like a new woman
have decided to grow out my roots (ombre) and not dye the color for now. Not sure if I will continue dying my hair lighter. I still love it on me and the way it goes with my skin. It was supposed to be part of my journey to try a bunch of new/different hairstyles. but I might make that decision a long term one..

 

[GGsKin]

Still haven't washed this hair of mine yet. Maybe tomorow or Saturday. For now I've contained the remnants of this wng in a banana clip by dampening my roots (outer layers), smoothing on some shea butter, and applying a little more gel to hairline. Ooh, and a few sprays of APB refresher in Clean Cotton on my ends.

Hey ladies check out my Devacut results! I now understand why salons usually insist on straightening/stretching your hair before a trim. It's more precise.
Before:

I asked her to cut off that long piece in the back and TRIM the rest.

After:

(I posted the after picture elsewhere on this board before.) I'm pleased with the shape, but it's shorter than I was expecting! She took off like 2-2.5 inches all over. I don't think I'll get another Devacut... I'll never reach my length goals if I keep going back there!

Oh well... it's not a big deal. I'll be weaving it up until it grows back!

@Pygmy_puff beautiful hair.

Love your hair, how did you get such great definition? Thanks

@Pygmy_puff beautiful hair.

Aw, shucks... thank you!

Thank you. @Dee_33

• Use your HG conditioning, moisturizing & sealing products.
• I apply all products and twist on damp hair. Then air dry.
• My twists are small (~20-30) and worn as a style for a few days before unravelling.
• I separate them once. Don't fluff them or pick them out.
• Don't mist/refresh your twistout or use strong humectants. You'll lose definition. This is your HGs' purpose (see first bullet).
• For bed I make ~2-3 giant twists or buns with scrunchies and sleep in a satin scarf.

My twistouts can last ~12 days.
For that twistout I used
Curl Junkie Curl Rehab Moisturizing Hair Treatment (as a leave in)
SM Kids Coconut Hibiscus Curling Butter Cream
Marula oil

It looks nice and your curls pop more.

Thank you! It's important to note that in the first picture my hair is dry without any product besides a little bit of moisturizing leave in. Prior to getting a Devacut, they ask that you don't put any gel or anything into your hair so they can get their fingers through it easier.
In the second picture my hair is about 90% dry in a wash n go.

That being said, I have noticed that since the cut my curls do seem to be a little tighter, I'm guessing because it's less weighed down by length?

Hair back in twists....I did these myself! Comparing my twists to how they looked in February....my hair is growing!

Got my hair dyed and blown out in preparation for my braids. My bun is looking big to me

Here are my braids

Ladies,

I just wanted to remind you all of how fabulous you are. Hair, skin and nails are all slayed, in all age groups. Don't for a second ever think you are not phenomenally made and designed. Black women are the epitome of beauty, sexiness and class. We are so fierce.

Thanks for gracing us all with your beauty, ladies. Love you all!

 

[Sharpened]

Once again, random crazy pics that I take looking for renegreys to yank.

Oil/creme/oil true wash and go, wet hair, no styling product:

I forgot to get dry pics and DH grubbed his meaty paws in my hair, so headband the next day. The frizzy fizz is his fault and I spotted a stupid grey:

I got a grey on either side I plucked 5 weeks ago and they are both already an inch long:

No greys in the back yet, whew:
