Hey guys, so it's been extremely humid lately, which is making my hair retain water like crazy. This is actually a good thing, but it means my hair can't really hold a defined style right now. So here's my solution, my hair is still moist and in twist from my last shower, so I'm going to take out the two front twist and pull it back two out of the way. So I define my part and I'm going to work on my right side. First, using a fine-tooth comb with a pick, I'm sectioning off a medium-sized horizontal section, making sure it's nice and straight hair is already detangled, but I'm just running the comb through for good measure. Now I'll begin to twist my hair back where its grabbing small sections at a time a flat twist kind of like how I normally twist my twist outs, I take smaller sections towards the front and larger sections as a twist goes back going from smaller to larger Sections make sure that the front of my hair looks clean and defined the smaller the section, the more defined the look. It also helps in that I don't have to twist tightly to get the defined look so make sure you're not pulling too tight. Now I just secure the twist behind my head to keep it stretched out. While I continue grabbing another section, I repeat the same process, oh and by the way, if you notice my face glistening, it's wet, my air conditioner is broken yeah fun times. So I just do the same thing until the entire side is finished. My hair was starting to dry, so I just misted it with a little bit more water once the entire side is done. I just roll all the twists in place with a giant perm rod. Roller just to make sure they're stretched now repeat the same process on the other side, if you notice, I didn't use any product like flax, gel or shea butter, I normally would, but I still had the remains of shea butter I had applied earlier, so I didn't Need more, this all set, Oh, when those twists are complete roll them up to now. I skip the next part because it was ridiculously hot and I couldn't take it anymore, but all I did was twist up the back and for chunky twists using my twisting 101 method, because it's so humid there's no way these are going to dry in the morning. But that's okay cover your head with her satin scarf and time for bed it's the next day and I'm taking everything out now. I had originally planned to style my twist like this leaving my hair down, but again it was really hot. So I changed my mind. I wanted an updo instead, so I grabbed all the twist and wrap him around a tiny, little off-centered bun towards the front of my head and secured with bobby pins. Why? Why do this now? The back just goes up in a wild puff. On top of my head using an overstretched headband, just defining those baby hairs a bit I liked it. My main goal was to have something that was defined or structured, because my hair would not hold any twists out at all so the front twist for a good solution for me at night. I just missed the back with water and smooth on a bit of shea butter. Now you could always retwist, but that's for people who aren't lazy. So I just tightly rolled the hair down into a low ponytail using my satin scrunchie, I rolled it into a bun in order to keep it stretched into tangled for the next day. Oh, the twists were just pinned back into a low bun here a second day. I like this style, because I can wear for as long as my twists slip define and clean. It saves me so much time and aggravation during these hot summer months when I want to keep my hair stretch, but my hair just won't hold it twists out. Oh, why and this can be done any length, hair hope this helps guys stay, cool and I'll see you later music by me mean LC lace on CL link in the description box.
Comments
SoulArtistry: I TOTALLY LOVE THIS! I was looking for an easy summer style to do while I am away on a Birthday trip for a best friend of mine that didn't require a lot of maintenance and time, yet looked beautiful enough for a night out...thanks! : )
Shakiyah Huston: Thank you soo much! I've been natural since 2007, but have always straightened my hair. Because of you and your videos I've grown to love my curly hair. Thanks for the tutorials. You've helped me and my friends alot!
Mysba Regis: Super cute style! I can't wait until my hairs long enough to try! Thanks for sharing :)
jareya: Very pretty, carefree and summery!! Love it.
capria30: Love it ! You have given me an idea! I will do a flat twist in the front and twist in the back. I live in AL so it is humid most of the time. Thanks for the Idea and video! Oh, I made my own spritz after watching your videos....trying the lip balm next (thinking great family reunion gifts)!
BrownBettyNea: OMG I am soooo glad you put this video up! I thought my hair was going through menopause becasue it would not hold a curl!! Glad to know it's not just me. I found that mixing a little bit of gel into my shea butter or conditioners has been holding my twist outs in the heat but my hair is just a little hard now.
Venus G.: You did a great job! I really love this hairstyle!
DaCamla: Cute style, really simple ... always a plus :) You have gorgeous hair!

Gabrielle Clayvon: The same thing happened with me. My outside air conditioning unit cut off and we could not figure out exactly what was wrong. We tried the indoor circuit breaker panel and the outdoor reset panel until finally we realized that the wiring had come a loose inside the outdoor conditioning unit. Finally cold air again. You should try those things and look at your manual for proper circuitry connections. Good luck and sorry (I know exactly where you are coming from). Love this quick hairstyle!
