Nonie, I honestly wouldn't mind learning the crazy twistie ways (lol) cuz I love how twists look on me, I just wish I could swim in mine.
Aww
Miss AJ...if you do learn, you will be able to swim in yours coz I've been swimming lately shampooing my hair and I haven't had to redo a single twist yet. Mind you, so far, my hair has remained pretty dry except for the sides, and more recently the back, so swimming hasn't really been a factor at all. But yeah, except for the handful of twists that my HIH disease has not been able to leave well alone, the rest are holding up well 3 weeks and counting which means 6 washes and today will be the 7th.
I think the crazy twisting will come when you stop watching yourself in the mirror and just decide whether you'll twirl anti-clockwise or clockwise. Once you decide on that, then the wrapping will be opposite to that. After a while it becomes natural to do and your fingers will just move the right way. I think it can be confusing if you're doing it and trying to look in the mirror at the same time. That reverse image in the mirror has a way of being very confusing since it's doing opposite of what you're doing and throwing you off.
Better yet, try it on someone first. My baby sister was my guinea pig when I was learning.
