MY FAVORITE NATURAL HAIR STYLE..MINI TWO STRAND TWISTS..

My most favorite natural hairstyle is the Mini Twists.  I have been waiting for my hair to grow long enough for me to be able to twist my hair.  There are people that can do mini twisties on their hair when it is super short, but I can't.  I had to wait.  This is my second attempt doing mini's since my second big chop.     When I went natural in 09 I did mini twisties on my hair many times.  I loved it.  So last Thursday I cowashed my hair and then as a leave in conditioner I tried something called Shea Butter Conditioning Repair Cream Leave-in.  I like this product it was white and didn't stain my silver hair.  Next I started twisting, but I was in front of the TV and wasn't paying attention to the size of the twists.  The twisties are so tiny my daughter said it doen't look like I actually have twisties.  I think shes right but my hair does hang differently and looks a little different.  What do you think?

  To keep the twistie neat and moisturized I put coconut oil/shea butter and band the twisties in sections.  I throw on my bonnet and then in the morning the twisties are soft and neat....

TWIST OUT ON GRAY NATURAL HAIR.

When I do a Twist Out on my hair the hair will feel very soft and shinny.  I choose styles that will keep my hair from looking dry and wirely.  Gray hair has that reputation.  I 've notice if I moisturize and keep my hair clumped together as much as possible I can wear it loose and it will look soft and stay that way.  When I say clumped together I mean braided or twisted or something like that.  At night I make sure my hair is moist twisted  braided or tied down.  Then the next day its ready to style..

On this twist out I used Coconut Oil and Shea Moisture Leave in..for moisture.  On dampen hair I twisted my hair that night into about 12 twists.  Took about 15 minutes. 

The next morning, carefully unravel.    Using only my fingers I fluff it out and thats it..Thats all...No wirely or dried out hair....

This is my results.  I will cover at night with a bonnet and the style will last for days.....

ALMOST 8 MONTHS SINCE BIG CHOP...MY FEELINGS NOW..

Its been a long time since I've posted.  I have actually since my first couple of post done a 180...I now love my hair.  The first 3 months was hard, only because  people around me brought it to my attention.  "Omg your gray," Omg you cut your hair'.  See, I did a big chop so all the dye was out of my hair and my hair was growing back naturally gray.  Now mostly everyone I know know now so nothing is really said out loud to me.  My youngest , bless her, always tell me my hair is cute, especially when I style it.  Everyone else that I know or close to me tend to ignore the hair.  Strangers always come up and tell me how they love my hair and how soft it looks.   Well I appreciated that and now on my own I'm embracing my gray. 

To get thru the first few months I hide my hair with handband and scarfs.
