Flat Twists- Twist Out on My New Haircut

So as many of you know I got my haircut a few weeks ago, with that haircut got bangs and lost some of the waviness in my hair. Well I miss my waviness and the bangs drive me crazy sometimes so I decided to try something new.

I washed my hair with Beautiful Curls Shea Butter Shampoo. I used Beautiful Curls Curl Nurturing Shea Butter Leave-in/De-Tangler on my hair when I got out. I applied about a quarter size amount through my hair with my hands and used a modified Denman brush to distribute the product more evenly.

Freshly washed, conditoned, de-tangled (FYI, late at night)

Once I figured out that I was going to attempt a Flat Twist Out on my hair I decided to use Beautiful Curls Curl Activating Cream to help set the style. I just a lil bit to my fingertips and rubbed hands together, I then distributed it over the section of hair I was going to flat twist. I made an attempt to part my hair straight back using my fingers. I was not concerned about how neat these flat twists were since I was doing a twist out the next morning. I did five flat twist total and secured the ends with rubber bands. I borrowed one of Des' satin bonnets to sleep in to help keep the twist intact since they were loose. One observation I made while doing these flat twists, is that doing your own (especially going straight back) is not easy, LOL, but I got it done.

Well I slept for a few hours and when I woke up my hair felt like it had dried completely so I undid the rubber bands and undid the twist. I must admit I was really happy with how the twist out looked. I really like how the Curl Activating Cream felt and looked on my hair, it was soft and did not frizz or get fluffy. I wore this style for two days and the curl pattern stayed the same both days. I thing I am going to attempt smaller twist next time or maybe teach Des how to do them for me.
