hair health

Layla, box twist (I'm not sure if that is the right term for the word) is similar box braids, parting the hair into boxed sections and twisting the hair. 

thank you for the advice did go ahead and try a straw set on my own and i like the result much better this time but im having trouble keeping it looking fresh after its been slept on how do you keep them up?

 

 Thanks again

You should try washing and conditioning your hair, then while still wet twist (individual box twists) and then setting each one with a straw (something like a straw set). Use foam and and a mixture of hair oil (Shea Butter) and water in a spray bottle to keep you hair wet. Then when you're finished setting your hair sit under a dryer. 

***If you have time, leave your hair twisted overnight, so that it will last longer*** 

The curls aren't quiet like the shirley temple curls after separating and styling, but they will be tight. I just tried it because I was looking for that same style--the straw set look.  Initially I didn't know how it was going to turn out, but it turned out to be very cute.

My hair was recently cut just above shoulder length and in layers. I have tried braid sets and they do work sometimes but dont last. I want that curly fro you see everywere ,like the natural sister on Half and Half. Thank you again for your help. 

have you tried doing braid outs, twist outs or bantu knot outs? how long is your hair so we can think of what will work best for you?
