I did my sisters hair last weekend in Kinky Twists. She typically wears her relaxed hair down everyday and wanted a change/break. She also wants to stretch her relaxer.
I thought this was going to be easy because I did kinky twists for someone before. But the big difference was the last person I did them for, was natural.
So, in order to blend in my sisters straight relaxed hair with the Kinky(Marley) hair, I had to:
* Start off braiding
*then on one half of the small section, I braided the marley hair with her hair until her hair stopped
*then I twisted the braided section with the loose kinky section
*** For Future Reference, I will work off of more textured hair such as a braid-out!******
This took me about 12 hours
I really wish I taped it, because it's a lot easier to show then say. Next Time I will though.
For Maintainence She is:
Spraying daily and nightly with African Pride Braid Spray
Putting Kinky Twists into 6 Large Twists Nightly
Securing with Perm Rods
Tie down edges with silk scarf
Tuck Rest of Hair in Bonnet
*These pics were taken a week after doing them
And this is how she usually wears them
12 hours is crazy!
ReplyDeleteyeah, it took a while..but mainly because I had to do braids and twists.
ReplyDeleteYes, I said its crazy cuz I can't do hair at all. You are one strong woman to be able to do that for 12 hours :) It came out real nice though.
ReplyDeleteHer hair came out good. I cant believe it took so long tho. (side comment) i forgot how much you all look alike...
ReplyDelete@ Anon 11:15pm- haha, thanks!
ReplyDelete@ Anon 11:26pm- thanks, I can't believe it took me that long too.
