Twists

Sunday I twisted my hair. I have no idea how long it took, since I stopped whenever I felt tired. But I'll guesstimate it was around 3 hours in all. I know some people find it tedious, but playing in my hair relaxes me, so I didn't mind too much. It was kinda frustrating trying to get the back though as well as deal with some of the softer hair back there. I twisted my hair using a combination of Elasta QP mango butter and honey, which gave some good shine AND most importantly held the soft hair. Here's the results:

The only good digicam pic I got before the batteries ran out

A sideview. As you can see the back ones are all over the place

And the finished product. :D

Last night I rinsed my twists in an effort to reduce the scalp itching I was starting to experience. When I got up they were all over the place, which was not a problem. BUT that itching was a sign that I need to wash my hair, so I decided to unravel the twists. Here's the resulting twistout:

I grabbed two chunks of hair in the front and secured them with mini clips. I liked the results. Too bad I didn't have anywhere to go and show off my curteness!

And in other news, the t-shirt that I designed came! And the quality is better than I expected. Yaaay! I'll take a picture when I get some batteries for the digicam. Or maybe I'll throw a webcam version up later.

Au revoir kiddies
