Hair Experiment: Flat Twist Out

I finally tried a flat twist out on my hair. It came out much better than I thought it would and I'll definitely try this style again. Hopefully it will get better each time. I just co-washed my hair, added some leave in cream, no frizz serum and chi silk infusion. Then I did about six flat twists on my wet hair. I used end wraps and rolled the ends around rollers to hold the twists together. I tied a satin scarf around it and let it air dry over night. I actually didn't take the twists out until two days later.

Products Used: 
Suave Almond & Shea Butter conditioner
Fructis Sleek & Shine Leave-In conditioning cream
Fantasia Frizz Buster Serum
Roots of Nature Shea Butter Green Tea stimulating scalp oil
chi silk infusion


It looks a little rough I know, lol
Hopefully I'll be able to do the twists tighter next time.

Curlformers Mishap

I bought my curlformers as stated in my last post. I even tried them out but unfortunately I didn't really get to see the end results. In the middle of trying to dry my hair the power went out and we weren't able to get it back on until a few hours later. Ordinarily it wouldn't be a problem because I could just let it air dry overnight but that wasn't the case this time. I had plans to go out with my friend and I couldn't exactly go out with curlers all over my head. Therefore, I had to take them out before my hair was completely dry and I ended up just flat ironing my hair.

I was pretty annoyed because based on the ends and the 2 or 3 curls that actually did get dry I think the style would've been really cute. I guess I'll just have to wait until next time to try it again. On the bright side, once I finally figured out the proper technique for using the Curlformers it was really easy. It definitely takes a little time so it's not the kind of thing you want to do in a rush. I had a few problems in the beginning with my hair getting tangled and having to take it out and start over but once I got the hang of it everything was find. I'll keep you updated on the next time I try and my future hair experiments.
