New Idea: A list of How to's

[beaux cheveux]

I see a bunch of threads of ladies here who complain about not being able to do their hair, so why not complie a list of how to's all in one thread?
How to put a phony pony, how to do a wash and go, how to self relax, video links, fotkis, anything. It would make it easier on the newbies and the rest of us who just can't do hair.

Sorry if a thread like this has been posted already.

 

[SoSweet08]

This sounds like a wonderful idea!

 

[JustKiya]

That's a great idea!!!

Shall we just add the ideas to this thread?

I agree that this is a great idea.
Unfortunately, I have nothing helpful to add.

My contributions will lead to hair loss across the board if I ever attempted to make a video of what I do.

I'll love any helpful How-tos people would like to share.

although it's nothing new:

How to do pincurls, which result in tight ringlet-like curls:

http://public.fotki.com/nannypans/how-i-do-my-hair/my-method-of-pincurling-/

Disclaimer: DO NOT EXPECT LOOSE CURLS! These are tight enough to be done once and last a week. If you want looser curls, put it up for a few hours. I have also followed the instructions exactly as stated but only did about 8 pincurls totoal and the curls DID come out loose. If I want really loose, one day pincurls, I just use my fingers. HHG.

 

[SoSweet08]

Does anyone have how to properly press and/or curl the hair with a curling iron (mostly for weaves). I know this might seem simple but knowing me I will end up burning the hair lol.

 

[keeperathome]

I think this would be a great idea! Especially for those of us who know how to do a little but need some new ideas.

This is the 2nd method of pincurling I've seen today and I cant wait to try it!

 

[GrowinLonger]

Hey, girl!

I checked out your bantu knot twist out and it is FABULOUS! You are so right; if you get that "s"
pattern, it is all good. My hair looks tighter when I do it since my hair is not as long as yours.

Go, girl!
