In reading the "Growing Hair Long with Twistouts/Braidouts" thread, I picked up on some great tips from sistaslick on how she gets her twistouts so nice and pretty and did my first flat twistout! (had done a bradout with singles the day before but I wasn't pleased).....
I still haven't perfected the ends (too much hair on the ends that don't have the wavy texture of the rest of the hair) so I am open to how to get the twistout all the way down to the end.
After shampooing, I used my liquid leave-ins along with Rusk Smoothers. I used the Elasta QP Mango butter, but only after I twisted the hair up. Put it along the twist like sista suggested. When I got ready to put the roller in it, I coated the hair with jojoba oil as well as the mango butter to keep it around the roller. (was afraid of the dryness everyone was talking about) I am wondering if I should have twisted my hair all the way to the end, THEN put it around the roller. (I stopped twisting after I got all the way down to the nape).
My hair is very soft and bouncy too. Right now I am 6 weeks post and I will def. be using this style as I get further.
The pics are in my album. Take a peek and tell me if the idea of twisting all the way down to the ends then wrapping around the roller will work.
TIA
