YouTube Special: Twisted Pomp


I was getting a bit tired of doing the same old flat twist outs, so I decided to do something different.  After watching several videos and searching through photos of flat twist hair styles, I realized I didn't have many options.  Most styles require more skill and/or more hair than I have to deal with.  So, I made this one up as I went.  It's basically a mix of all the styles I came across.  I took a chance and used Beautiful Textures Styling Custard for the third time.  My first two experiences with that product ended up in a flaky, crunchy mess, but this third time was a charm.  Mixing it with Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie gave me the perfect balance of hold and moisture.  Check out the video below to see how I did it!

YouTube Special: Flat Twistout Using Oyin

My latest/laziest go to style has been flat twist outs.  I never stick to one product brand, but for this style I decided to try using all Oyin Handmade.  I love everything about their products and was very satisfied with my results.  Check out how it all went down below!

YouTube Special: Washing Marley Twists

Why is it that as soon as you get a protective style, your scalp starts to itch in the worst way!?  Luckily, it's my wash week so I went ahead and washed my scalp using an Apple Cider Vinegar rinse.  I filled a spray bottle with 75% Apple Cider Vinegar, 25% water, and 10 drops of essential spearmint oil.  Talk about instant scalp relief! When I washed my hair, I mixed about 90% Aveeno Pure Renewal conditioner with 10% ORS Olive Oil Creamy Aloe shampoo to act as a 2 in 1 Cleansing Conditioner.  This way, I minimized manipulation.  I used Oyin g\Greg Juice leave in conditioner and my homemade shea butter mix to seal. Check out my YT vid below to see how it all went down.
