…is not something to be tamed
So, I did the flat twists as demonstrated by Ms. Curly Chronicles herself, and I have to say that I’m quite surprised by the result. I wore it in the flat twists for two days because I liked the way it looked on me. Then when it was starting to get fuzzy, I let it out. It looks very nice to me. I like it a lot.
This is a style I’ll have to keep in my top faves.
For this style, I did it just like the previous two, but I prepared my hair a little differently. I think that my hair is not as tense as it was before because I’m using products that it likes and because of the way I’ve been treating it. I have a routine now and am very gentle with my hair. Since I’ve read Mixed Girl Curls, I’ve learned how to be more careful with handling my hair. My texture is much more coiled than hers but the principles behind what she’s saying applies to all types of curls, not just loose ones.
Here’s what I do: I wash with SLS-free shampoo once (no rinse and repeat), put conditioner in it and rinse. Then I put aloe vera gel in there as a detangler. I brush out medium sections while in the shower and get rid of excess aloe vera by light rinsing. Then I twist and put in a perm rod. This time I let it air dry for two days (I was sick so I had no energy). Then I let it all out.
