Um, my hair that is.
I rarely do the wash n go thing anymore and I certainly don’t let my hair dry very often without being stretched or a moisturizing product on it. However, I decided to just let my hair dry naked to see how it looks. I DC’d, detangled with my Aveda Paddle Brush and rinsed. It’s about 85 percent dry in these pictures. My roots are still a bit damp.

Hello my name is Abeni (kinkyhairedlady.blogspot.com) and here are a couple of pics of my best twist out. The twist out is my staple product come rain or sunshine. I just love the big-ness of it and how overwhelming it can be to others.

I am wearing a bun this weekend. I call it my “Banded Bun” and am currently working on a video tutorial on it. I hope to have it up sometime this weekend. Life has been a little busy!

Somehow, my braidout is still hanging in there but just barely. This weekend has been crazy for me. I had to spend the night at a hotel unexpectedly, so I pulled my hair back in a puff loosely with a scarf for the last few days. It’s frizzy and less defined, but it works.
I hope to do my hair tomorrow. Something I am realizing is that in these dry winter months, I can not rely on spritzes to remoisturize my hair. They are great for the summer, but I need something heavy right now. I’ve been sticking mostly to creams and butters for moisture at this time.
Here’s a few things you can expect in the next coming weeks:
One last note, I have been slacking off going through my spam folder, so if you notice your comments have not been posted, that is probably why. I am going to try to check the folder at least every other day.

Foreword: I’m copycatting Fleurtzy over at Texture Playground, she just did a beautiful braidout.
I got done swimming and didn’t feel like putting in twists. So, after a DC, I spritzed my hair with a homemade spritz, applied Afroveda Totally Twisted, and detangled each section with my Denman. I then braided largish sections, just fingerparting and grabbing. I sealed the braids with coconut oil. I let it air dry and then took it apart separating gently. I’m so happy that my hair is long enough that this looks ok now. When it was shorter, if I tried to do braids this large for a braid out, it wouldn’t have enough definition.
