Woo --- is the fall/winter making you work extra hard to keep your tresses moisturized? Well, join the club!
I usually wear my hair in twist outs.. It last 3-4 days. Afterwards (depending on how I feel), I'll retwist, wear a curly fro, a puff, or pin it up in some sort of up-do. But, this routine actually works better in the summer time because my hair doesn't dry out as often. But now --- I find that I'm working a lot harder...so it's time to switch it up a little..
I think I mentioned that I really don't like my hair in twists. But I cant get away from the fact that my hair retains moisture so much better. On top of the fact that this is a great protective style against the winter elements and I don't have to "do my hair" as often....
So, Sunday night I decided to 'invest' in some mini-twists. I finished the top portion and got lazy....LOL! So, I put the back in LARGE twists and pinned them to my scalp. Not my best work --- but it's sufficient. As much as I don't care for this look ---nothing beats getting up in the morning and not having to "Do Hair". Next time -- I will try to make the back look a little neater and get a "tape"...LOL!! #Don't Judge ME!!! **in my southern slang** "This is just where I'm at..."
Anyhoo---Just thought I'd share...check out the pics below.
Good Luck this winter!

Hey Bernice, I've been natural since 2003. Therefore, I really appreciate your forum!! It has some really great information. Regarding adding moisture to your hair during the Winter, have you tried rinsing or spritzing with distilled water? Also, I really like your twists. Sometimes, I will do twists and put rods at the end to achieve a "curly fro". Its really pretty. Also, Bantu Knots allow for another look really cute natural style. I especially like them when you take them down.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chameria! No, I haven't tried distilled water. I'll definitely give it a shot. I have used flexi-rods on my twists and you are right - the fro is super curly. I tried bantu knots once --- I'll have to give it another shot. Thanks so much for sharing!
