twist outs on relaxed hair?

[Leslie_C]

will twistouts work on relaxed hair? My bantu sets leave me with big fluffy hair which is ok but I want something that will hang down more. When u do a twistout, how do u secure the ends and how many would u do for loose waves? my hair is shoulder length.

I am advising something I haven't tried yet, lol, but this weekend, I am going to try pin curls (using my instructions from Southerngirl) to achieve that look. That might give you what you want. HTH

my sister is relaxed and does braid outs as opposed to twist outs.

I did a lot of braidouts when I had relaxed hair. I don't recall how many individual braids I did. I sure it was a lot(30+).

You can secure them with flexirods or other small rollers.

Use a good setting lotion like lottabody....I braid mine then put a perm rod at the end....lasts about 4days

i do twist outs and i started to post my pics, but i didnt get the chance to. i will when i re-do mine tomorrow. i split my hair in half horizontally and do "cornrow twists", a front set and a back set, it ends up being about 10 in each section, i like to twist small so that the waves come out wavier. i think if you did individual twists, instead of cornrow twists, though it would take more time, you would have looser waves.

i secure them with the cold wave rollers (the hard ones with the caps rubberbanded on). i put my roll the ends tightly because i want the style to last longer and i like the curly and wavy look on me. the looser you roll the ends the more wavy it will be. my style lasts 3-4 days, though i wash my hair every 3 days when im up to it, and i like the style to look fresh.

i like lottabody setting lotion, but its expensive for the amount you get. so i either use lottabody and dilute it more than usual into a spray bottle. or i use ultra sheen setting lotion and dilute it less. spray my twists with s-curl, put a bonnet on and go to sleep until the next morning. no dryer time for me

thx ladies, anky told me how she did hers and I tried it. It came out very cute for my first try, but one side looked better than the other, the other side had wanted to unravel before it dried. I will be perfecting this style because I love it!

I cant do cornrow twists(are those flat twists?) so Ill have to stick to individuals.

but seriously it came out very cute, if only I can get my whole head to look like the section that came out good. It looks like some girls hair I used to admire when I was younger who had curly/wavy hair.

yeah my cornrow twists as i affectionately call them is really flat twisting. it took me some time to get it down, but after 2 yrs of doing this, ive finally perfected it. if you could flat twist your hair would probaby be even on both sides. i rembmer my individual days
