Twisted Out!

This is how I wore my hair after the twist outs. As you can see, I really love hair accessories. I highly recommend getting some hair pins, clips, bows, headbands for hair flair (that rhymes). They don't have to be super girlie, but I am a girl who loves red and pink. This style is great again for those who are like me, and are transitioning, because in this style your hair is now the same texture. I noticed, and I believe I mentioned this before, that the relaxed hair is thinner and looks stringy when sitting right underneath the natural hair that is full. The relaxed hair does not carry as much wave or curl in this style or when wet. I hope you can see it in the pictures above, the bottoms of the twist outs are thinner and have less curl definition. So, once I get more length, I will be really happy to cut off the dead weight. And that's kinda funny, because hair is literally dead, but it doesn't weigh much.

A new hair product that sounds like a good tool for Transitioners

Carols Daughter Transitioning Kit 1-2-3 is a revolutionary kit with products that address the common problems that transitioners face, whether they are big choppers or going through a long grow out, and will continue to help long after they have a full head of beautiful natural hair.It contains 3 products that are exclusively found in this set:

Purifying Low-Poo Cleanser 4.0 fl oz

Renewing Scalp Spray 4.0 fl oz

Restoring Anti-Breakage Treatment 5.5 fl oz

PROBLEM:
The Grow Out transitioner needs to easily manage her two hair textures and the Big Chopper needs to control her curly new growth, so they both tend to use lots of leave-in styling products that weigh hair down as well as smother the scalp. It’s also easier to stretch out the time between shampooing and styling your hair when transitioning, causing you to need a deep, but not drying, cleanser.

SOLUTION: Purifying Low-Poo Cleanser
This moisturizing cleanser detangles in an instant as it intensely hydrates your hair, leaving behind an incredible shine while gently removing product build-up.

PROBLEM:
Over time relaxers can damage your scalp and hair follicles, and the key to growing healthier hair is having a healthy scalp. An unhealthy scalp can cause hair to grow in uneven textures and curl patterns, which make your hair grow slower and in poor condition.

SOLUTION: Renewing Scalp Spray
This easy spay-on product exfoliates your scalp the same way a toner would your face (think of it as a facial for your scalp). It increases the cellular turnover to get to your healthiest scalp and follicles quickly so that your hair can grow healthier, faster.

PROBLEM:
During the “scab hair period” where your scalp and follicles are healing (this usually lasts for 6-8 months after your last relaxer), your hair is brittle. It is also incredibly fragile where your new growth meets the relaxed hair, as are the points where the relaxer was retouched. This causes lots of extra breakage and shedding when washing, detangling and styling.

SOLUTION: Restoring Anti-Breakage Treatment
This conditioning hair mask deeply heals the weakest parts of your hair to prevent breaks, snaps and split ends, while simultaneously adding a boost of moisture to soften your hair, making it easier to manage and style.

THIS IS THE DESCRIPTION FROM curtmart.com

I think I am loving this again..

The "always the same fro" was drinking me crazy! I felt stuck in this boyish fro style and I wanted a different look. I tried a lot of different styles but the length of my hair made me hate all of them. I saw so many you- tube videos before I decided to do the big chop, and I was hoping I would get my hair to look the same.

Everyone has different hair types most of the people on the you- tube videos have type 3c which is a really easy hair type to do hair styles with (in my opinion). Type 3c has voluminous tight curls I have type 4b hair which has a less defined curl pattern when I would undo my style it would just look so nappy to me and never really cute. The style would last for only a couple of days before I would need to take it down. Look on naturallycurl.com if you want to see your hair type.

Taya's first straw set by me!

So, this will be the first time ever that I did a straw set on someone else's head besides my head. It turned out pretty nice, especially with her hair color.

Twist out

This would be my second time trying a twist out. It really doesn't take long to do. The only thing I dislike about it is the ends and the roots. They need more texture. This could last a week if you pull it back and tie it up, which I did not do. So it only lasted 2 days before I had to re-twist some parts.

So I used the same products that I use when doing the straw set. I washed my hair and then parted my hair in the middle while leaving bangs. Then I twisted my hair like french braids to my scalp for most of the back of my head. Then the other parts that I wanted to have more texture, I just twisted in small parts. On each twist I used olive oil gel without alcohol. I slept on the twists and in the morning untwisted each section, then added a wire headband. This is a good style because you don't really have to mess with your hair everyday. I am really noticing that styles that hold for more than a day work well in helping my hair grow. I hope this is news you can use.
