Braid-Out Vs. Twist-Out






Last week I did the normal braid and band in order to wash my hair. I wanted to wash my hair this week, but I didn't have time to braid, band, and wash before my toddler awoke from her nap.  Therefore, I decided to try a short cut.  Instead of the normal braid-out, I did a "twist-out".  I basically took the same sized sections that I would use for braiding but twisted them instead. The hair stayed in the twist, and it was much faster than braiding.  I like the results even better than the braid-out.  The braid-out gave my hair tight crinkles, but the twist-out gave it a loose wave. Here are pictures to demonstrate what I mean. My hair is in the same style and the ends are curled under. The only change is braid-out vs. twist-out.  The back of the hair appears different because the twist out caused some of the hair to flip-up.

  4. I like both looks. I have done both styles as well while I have been wearing my test locks. I get my sisterlocks installed on 11/20. Can't wait. I have about 2 1/2 inches of natural hair and several inches of permed hair. I will post pictures after my install. I am so loving how much my test locks have grown in just one week, it's amazing. http://fillegurl-sisterlock-journey.blogspot.com/
