Dry Twist N Curl


Hello all! I love my two strand twists and twist outs but I wanted to try something different this time around. So, I decided to try out Curly Nikki's signature style- the one and only Twist N Curl! I have tried it before on wet hair but this was the first time trying it on dry hair. I bought these bigger rollers (perm rods really) at the beauty supply store. Before rolling, I wet the ends with a spray leave-in conditioner and sealed them with my CocoShea mix.



I slept in those huge rollers overnight (was not an easy task!) and when I awoke, these were my results!
This was after it had been down all day en semi-humid conditions. I put a scarf around it to get it off my face since I OD'd on the CocoShea mix. It was getting all over my face and that is a no no!

So all in all I really like it. I had been rocking these twists for a few days and wanted to spice it up before I untwisted them. It was very fluffy and bouncy and I got some compliments. So overall, it was worth it and I will definitely try the dry Twist N Curl again! Thanks Nikki!

  5. Your hair and make-up is beautiful. What color/brand eye shadow is that? What do you use on your face? It is flawless!

  7. Thanks everybody! Sometimes an experiment turns out well!

    @JC- Thanks! Yeah those rollers were a beast!

    @Anon 3:07- I have on Bare Minerals foundation in Tan, but I put that on earlier that morning. Then on my eyes I have on a Rimmel color that is kinda coppery (i dont know the name). In the crease I put some black shadow and overtop of the copper I put a MAC shade of deep blue. Under the brow bone I put a shimmery gold color. I lined the inner part of my eyes with black and around the outside with a Rimmel blue pencil. I put on some covergirl blush and gold lipgloss. HTH!

  10. Hey Naomi, thanks for reading! I found this thread, I'm sure there are plenty others out there, with ladies talking about exactly what you're talking about. http://www.longhaircareforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=164417&page=5
    Assuming your edges aren't completely damaged, you are going to have to be patient and extra gentle. Massage them daily in a gentle circular motion and apply a light oil ever few days or so. Use styles that do not put tension on your edges. Good luck and HTH!
