My two weeks in my last set was up this past Sunday, but I decided to take them down early b/c I was tired of that set. So, that Thursday night: I took them down, conditioned and washed them, and let air dry overnight in twisted sections. Then I got up early Friday morning and further stretched my hair by blow drying each section on low then got to twisting.

I decided to actually make them tiny, a la Kinky Kurly Queen, this time so it took me longer to complete them. They took me roughly 5.5 hrs. Yes, I'm a good one and yes, I have a lot of patience. I used my shea pudding again with fabulous results. I plan to leave this set in for 4-6 weeks. These took a minute to put in and they need to stay in for a minute too. Lol.
I really like them and was pleasantly surprised to see how long my hair has gotten. (This is all my hair, not one extension in there, bay-beeee.) Shrinkage is a mutha, right? Gotta luv it all though.
My fellow challengers, are you still hangin in there with me?

I'm currently in my second week of a set of twists. I braid the roots then the twist the rest to help them last longer and prevent puffy roots. Plus, I can make the parts last longer by washing with the twists in, then redoing just the twisted part. The only ones that I redo completely (braided roots and all) are the ones on the edges, since you can see the roots completely.
Moni: You're always full of knowledge and great ideas. I luv it! I'm gonna try that. I'm gonna do it in the front where it gets really fuzzy/puffy at the roots.
My medium twist can take up to four hours. Lord know how long mini's could take. I can't do it. lol
Great updates ladies. Let's keep it going. :D
