As much as I love twist outs, they rarely come out exactly the way you like them. I always have to find out a way to save the hairstyle. Either that or stay home.
Today was no different. While I took my time to meticulous twist each section, seal the ends and sleep with a sonnet scarf and bonnet, I woke up and my twists were wet. The sad part is I had not even washed my hair. The product I used to set the twist out never dried. Thank God it’s still kind of warm here in New York. So, here’s the saved hairstyle:
Not too bad. I had just purchased a bunch of pretty scarves. Little did I know, I’d wind up using one of them sooner rather than later.
Do you have problems with twist outs? If so, do you save the curls or just throw your hair in a pony?

Very cute idea! Loved how you put it in an updo.
Yeah, it’s a hit or miss with me and braid outs/twist outs. the front of my hair is always the first to loose it’s definition so scarves are my saving grace! (I have three hangers full to prove it!( LOL)

lol that’s funny because the front of my hair defines while the back is all weird. I get stringy ends and I don’t like it so I wind up putting the back up. I think it’s this awkward stage my hair is end with two greatly differentiating lengths.
This is too cute. This look like a successful twist out. Pretty scarf. Rock it girl! I use satin rollers on the ends of my hair so my hair looks extra curly. Do you use satin rollers?

Thanks
I use the flexi rods not the satin rollers. I saw the satin rollers but they are too much like the regular foam rollers so I skipped them. They curl the hair too tight.
Oh so I meant to say that the twist out wasn’t successful because some places defined and others didn’t. I usually have issues with the back.
Oh,
You don’t need a lot of product. If your hair feels damp get under the dryer for 10-15 minutes. Have to be dry to come out defined.

I don’t really use a lot of product but even when my hair is dry, it doesn’t define. I have a wavier pattern that tends not to curl up in some places. as the hair gets longer, it also stretches more.
I bought some sweet butta cream this past weekend and used it. it gave me the best definition but I still need to try some different techniques.
I looooovvveeee the swoop in the front!

Thanks Rece. It’s crazy how you can come up with a style that winds up being better than the original!
