Revitalizing a Days Old Twist Out: Part II - Curly Meringue Edition

So as you all know, I'm on a Miss Jessie "high" right now!

Last Saturday, I did a two strand twist with the Curly Meringue. I then unraveled the twist on Monday to wear a twist out.

The Curly Meringue was fantastic on my hair. With the help of the Baby Buttercreme for moisture, my curl pattern lasted all week!

The pics below are different ways I wore my hair throughout the week.

S/N: I jazzed up my hair a bit by flat two strand twisting the other side of my hair, (to match the left that was already twisted from the start). I didn't have to re-wet it at all. My hair was uber soft, so I used my fingers to part my hair.

Overnight Care
Everynight I would re-twist my hair in chunkier twist with the Baby Buttercreme. And then sleep with a satin bonnet.

Kinky Confessions: Miss Jessie...I LOVE YOU!!!!

Yeah...I said it! I LOVE MISS JESSIE!!!!

So if you read my blog from yesterday, I took advantage of the great BOGO special that Target had going on yesterday for Miss Jessie's products. I bought an 8oz of the Baby Buttercreme and an 8oz of the Curly Meringue.

Last night I did a dry twist out with the Baby Buttercreme. And I must say...it smelled delicious!!!!! (LOL) But besides the great smell, I loved how a little goes a long well with this product. For each twist, I would just dab my index finger into the creme and that would be just enough!

Here is a pic of the finish product!

Kinky Confessions: Twist-Out with a Side Braid

  

Wanna know how I got this look?

*Hair State: Hair was co-washed (washed with conditioner only) the morning of the twist out. I wore my hair in a puff to help stretch-out my hair. Once I got home from work, my hair is completely dry. This is when I start on my twist.


Tools: Wide Tooth Comb, Spray Bottle filled with water, and Satin Bonnet

Products Used:
Softee's Aloe Vera Activator Gel
*My first time EVER using this, and I have to say that I LOVE IT!*


Shea Moisture's Curl Enhancing Smoothie (SMCES)
*One of my FAV'S and a MUST HAVE*


Steps:
1.) Part your hair by using your fingers. *Remember to be gentle since your hair is dry*

2.) With the spray bottle of water, slightly damp that section of your hair.

3.) Starting at the ends and working your way up, comb your hair with a wide tooth comb.

4.) Use a dime size of the SMCES and distribute throughout that section.

5.) Depending on how small or large you want your twist out to be, part the section that you are about to twist.

6.) Before you start twisting, add a very small amount of the Aloe Vera Gel (a small amount goes a long way) to that section.

7.) Start twisting!
When twisting, remember to start at the root. When you get to the end, twirl your hair around your fingers. This helps secure the ends and prevent them from frizzing.*

8.) Repeat until hair is completely finish!

9.) Cover with satin bonnet.


Optional: Steps for Side Braid
1.) Part hair to your desire in the front  
2.) Slightly damp hair
3.) Add SMCES
4.) Add Aloe Vera Gel
5.) French Braid or Flat Twist hair (my hair is flat twist to the side)
