Today's Hair: The Puff

Since taking my braids out (Urban Twists), I've pretty much been wearing my hair in a bun. I wore it out ONCE, it was cute THAT DAY, but outside of that day I hadn't been feeling it. I've been experimenting a lot because it seems my hair is not responding to some of my staple hair products and it has been beyond frustrating. After a failed flat-twist-out attempt (I actually did a good job with flat twisting but my hair just didn't hold and got frizzy soon after taking them out), I decided to try my regular twist out with a product I hadn't used in awhile. I was pleasantly surprised with my hair this morning and the fullness of it.

On already stretched and dry hair, I sectioned and spritzed lightly with a mix of water and a leave-in (Koils by Nature Shealoe Leave-In), then applied a small amount of Cantu Shea Butter to each section and twisted. I then put the twists into pincurls and allowed my hair to set overnight.

In the morning, I untwisted my hair and fluffed. I used a stretchy headband to pull my hair into place and pinned the headband in place so it doesn't move. I used a little gel around my edges to make it look neater and then tied a scarf around my head.

The volume I achieved while twisting on dry hair was much better than when I do this on wet hair. And the product combo seemed to work for me.
