Yes!! My twist outs never come out right!

Hi boo I found yall only u tee tee and simone where id mickey lol she bugged me to join

Yes! Thanks for this! I have some skinny long scarves and I've been needing help tying them in different ways lol. I've tried a similar look before but yours is way neater. lol

It took lots and lots of practice.

I'm glad this helps you.

Thankful, I found your channel!!!!! I just got my second set of SL yesterday. I love the styles you do!

Was your hair wet or dry during this process?

Nice vid. Your hair is sooo cute :)

Thank you!

Thank you! I didn't like it at first, but everyone did, including hubby!! Yeah!

nice! Have you cut off all the straight pieces?

It's pretty.. I like it...

+PlayWrite1986 lol You have a good point though because I don't get to see it very often either. XD Thank you!

+Amai K  Oh my gosh, me too! lol :D

Thank you, beautiful!

+Rey Sosa  Yeah, I was saying that in my post on Google+ and we discussed that in other comments. :) I only forgot that I used to use flax seed gel. I haven't done frequent flat twist outs in so long that I forgot what I used to use.

+TheBlackHairDiary You're welcome! Yes your description makes perfect sense! I just put some loose chucky twist in the front of my hair Christmas day because I didn't have time to flat twist that section and I love em, the fullness! I usually twist tightly and closely because I want to twists to last longer but these seem to be holding up well!! Haha yes you ladies are getting me good with these acronyms!! :)

+MsThickHair  Hahaha thanks you! Yeah I had no idea and I was too lazy to Google it! : )

lol

Hello Lol I'm just catching up on these comments time difference. You're both are most welcome. +kerducky​ Thank you, the pic in my avi I did chunky twist on weeks old hair I had experimented on no heat blow out, stretch hair. Hope that makes sense. It gave me that fluffy, soft definition I like. Lolololol on the acronyms +MsThickHair​ I gave away that a forum poster as well, darn it tehehe

+kerducky It means hope that helps. lol I had to look it up too. That's the acronyms that people use on hair forums a lot. lol

+TheBlackHairDiary Thank you so much for the great tips because I do love the way my hair feels with the flaxseed gel! I probably should get over my fear of the icky and just make my own flaxseed gel so I can have more control over the consistency! The Shea Moisture brand that I mentioned in my 1st comment, has agave nectar, coconut oil hibiscus and one other ingredient that I can't recall right now...but it's quite a thick gloopy gel! Thanks again for you feedback I really do appreciate it, I like to learn new things about  products and our hair...and speaking of hair your hair is ULTRA thick! For a moment when I got the notification I thought Marley Ms.ThickHair herself had changed her profile pic! FABULOUS twists girl I love the thickness!Girl forgive me but what does "HTH" mean? I'm horrible wit the acronyms?! (,<_>)

+kerducky  Hey There :) What I find with flaxseed gel to rid of that flatness which I'm not for as I like big, voluminous hair. Make it light as in thinner. So use less flaxseed with a good amount of water. Or boil it for less time - doing this will not cause too much of the mucilage to be released. The thinner the gel the better and a softer hold/fatter twists you should get if you want to use it on your twists. Also you can store the seeds for about a week or so in the fridge and use again. Plus you can had add a few bits to your gel to get even more moisture to your twist which can cause them to swell. I.E Glycerin or Panthenol (Vitamin B5) are humecant, honey or agave nectar are also humecants that should take away from the flatness. Add oils of your choice and everything should balance out nicely. Remember in all of this measurement is key! HTH

+TheBlackHairDiary Hello TheBlackHairDiary! Flaxseed gel left my hair moisturized from roots to tips like never before! I mean I went 4 days without adding anything, could have problem made it to 5! The only reason why I don't use it every time I style my hair is because I wear 2 strand twists a lot and the flaxseed gel sort of takes away any volume in my twists, my twists are more flat looking, they don't swell up! But I do love it, love it!

+TheBlackHairDiary I may do an update. It may be later in 2015 or so though because flat twists are troublesome on freshly washed hair due to the time consumption and it's hard to catch myself doing any kind of flat twist while the laptop is in reach to record it (that's why this one's so late). lol I'll let you know. ☺ Have a good night.

+MsThickHair I haven't gotten into the icky sticky fun just yet but I bet it is pretty fun to make your own hair product! : )

Absolutely, flaxseed and seal with your shea cream is another option. Moisture, hold, definition and shine. Both are economical and are natural also. I've used flaxseed, it's quick and easy to make and my results were phenomenal.Glad I could help in some way (memory jog), please do an update when you do try something different to achieve better definition. TIA. 

+kerducky  Yes, it's very interesting how the weather can affect something like that. lol I love flax seed gel. It's fun to make, it works well, and is healthy. :)

Oh I completely agree! Flaxseed gel(Shea Moisture brand) is my new friend, the SHINE, HOLD & DEFINITION was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! The only thing is 2 out of the 3 benefits are apparent for me in the Winter or colder months only! I found out this past summer, my hair "SWELLS" and doesn't hold!
