I plan on learning how to do my own kinky twist. I know this will save me a lot of money.

OH MY GOODNESS!

You ladies have the key. To be able to do your own styling is economically effective and just more fun. I would LOVE to do my own hair, but it is sooo thick that I find it easier to just go to the salon. How did you get the techniques down to do your own sets? Please share your secrets.

hi ms regal, im still practicing especially a rollerser, i can only do this on the longest portion of my hair, the front! so just imagine the rest. My hair is in a weave right now, and i placed some bantu knots 6-8 on monday and wheni took them out the folloing morning- it was nice and curly, it looked so much like real hair.

since ur hair is so thick check out this site if u havent already, http://www.missjessies.com - www.missjessies.com and try the straw set @ the blackhairmedia web site. these are styles that you should perfect because of the current naturalness( im jealous) of you hair. if u learn to style it youll love it even more!

let me know if u are doing the crown and glory technique you can ***learn to braid on this site as well! ****

Luvlybelizean,

Thank you SOOO MUCH!!!! This website is wonderful! It gives step by step instructions. I would love to get the angle cut, but I will just stick to the Miss Jessi products and see what happens. I actually believe I can handle these styles. HALLELUJAH!!!! I Truly appreciate it.

What do you think about the Silkener (chemical curl definition). Since I have not had a relaxer for years I am running away from the chemicals, but it looks like I can get a nice style/curk without it. AWESOME site!

you're welcome anytime

i was also excited about this site but i have to grow out my natural hair(like you) before i can make my styles look as good as that. The silkener seems wonderful, but if it is too pricey, Sharon07 told me about Motowngirl.com.

have fun creating, these styles should work for you!!!
