Sidebar...so as you know, i've been on my natural-hair-don't-care flow for a while now. So I wanted to update you on new tricks and hair styles that I have tried.








Dry Twist out- These are my results from my first dry twist out. I've been hooked ever since. I love how my dry twist outs turn out. I used Paul Mitchell the Conditioner (which is a leave-in conditioner) to set my twists and I wet the ends with LottaBody. I wet just the ends because it makes them curl up and the twist stay in and because I don't want to have to sit under the dryer. With this method I can put on my satin bonnet and just go to bed. It's so easy and it looks amazing come morning. In these pics I used clips for the front of my hair because my ends don't curl like the rest of my hair. My hair is made up of different textures (like a lot of us naturals) so you have to find what works for you. I started using sponge rollers on the front to curl the ends and it works perfectly.



Roller Set- Love, love, love this look. I used Med/Large rollers and Paul Mitchell Styling Foam to set my hair. The key to roller sets is that you MUST SIT UNDER THE DRYER AND LET YOUR HAIR DRY COMPLETELY before taking out your rollers. If not, your curls will not be defined and you will end up with a half curly, frizzy mess. I have a soft bonnet hair dryer that I use and it takes me a couple hours for my hair to completely dry. I know we are trying to keep as much heat off our hair as possible, but a couple hours of dryer heat a week will not hurt. When I took my rollers out I flat ironed just the roots to make my hair lay flat (again this little gesture will not kill your hair). This style lasted about 5 days.





Dry Bantu Knot out- My bantu knot out turned out pretty well however the knots were too tight and made my head hurt (I'm heavy handed lol) and it was uncomfortable to sleep in. I used the Paul Mitchell the Conditioner again to set my twist and then i knotted them. As you can see, I had to bobby pin the knots so that they would stay. Over all I liked the finished look but not the process. I probably would not try this look again. But let me know how it works for you or any other tips you have for this look. I am willing to try again.



Dry twist out/middle part- I usually ALWAYS part my hair on the side but I wanted to try a middle part. I really liked the results. I see a lot of people around and at school with middle parts and they look good on them. I tend to not do them because I think it makes me look like Side-show Bob from the Simpsons. lol. I used Paul Mitchell the Conditioner to set the twists and LottaBody for the ends. I also flat twisted the top/middle twists.

I hope these pics give you some new I style ideas. I'll make sure I keep you updated about new products and styles that I try. Also if YOU have any tips and tricks that work for you, please comment!!-azureDizzle
