My Love & Hate Relationship With Curly Hairstyles…

There are various ways you can achieve curly hairstyles: with Flexirods, Bantu Knots, Rollers, Perm Rods, Twist out or Braid Out.  I have done all of these methods and my favorite method is Flexirods. I’m still yet to master Bantu Knot out. I absolutely love curly hairstyles but at some point I hate them.

My Hair Styles Recently…

My goal for the last couple of weeks was to stretch my new growth when styling my hair each week. I have been trying various styles that I haven’t done in forever.

Firstly take a look at my flexi-rod set on day 1 and 2.

HOTD: My Favorite New Hairstyle…

After experiencing my twist-out flop hairstyle, I needed something to save my hair. While playing in my hair I started to twist and roll and realized this could be a possible hairstyle to save the day.  From an old twist out, I just did a twist on both sides of my hair very loosely and tucked my ends on the inside. To secure the roll better, I used 3 bobbi pins.

HOTD: Flat Twist Out Fail…

I have been admiring some gorgeous twist-out on Instagram lately and decided to give it a try.  I carried out my usual wash day but used Fruit of Earth Aloe Vera Gel to help define my twist-out. I started on the right hand side of my head and realized the twist were extremely loose and didn't know how to tighten it. I figured it will turn out as a loose wave and I was fine with that.  Can you believe when I got to the last two twists I figured out how to flat twist tighter.  Since I used gel and my hair was starting to get hard, I didn't bother to re-do all the twist.
