Natural Hair Inspiration | Flat Twist And Curl

Natural Hair: Flat Twist Out on Short Hair. YoursNaturally11

I do love my weekly protective styles, but I thought I would do an 'out' style for the week to give my hair rest and enjoy my fluffy curls. I'm not straying from my goals for this year, but I would love to see my hair out. I saw this style and I knew that I just had to do it! So here is my style for the week: The Flat Twist And Curl

Let's Get Started!

Inspiration

This style was inspired by YoursNaturally11, which her YouTube channel is YoursNaturally11.
The Flat Twist And Curl is so simple to do. I love the shape of her hair as well...so that's what I'm wanting to accomplish.

Regimen And Products

I did my wash regimen and African Threading (for heatless method for stretching my hair), with Giovanni and allowed my hair to air dry during the day. Once my hair was completely stretched and dried, I used my ApH spray and Smoothie to create this flawless look. I wanted my hair to be stretched in order to create a fluffy, yet defined look.

For each flat twist, I twisted my hair down until an inch from the end. Then I used a gray perm rod to roll the ends (about 3 turns) and did this all over my head. I placed a hair net over my hair to keep the perm rods and my twists in place. I air dried over night.

Flat Twist And Curl

In the morning, I took out the perm rods and rubbed a pinch of Sweet Almond Oil along my twists. I took out my twists, separated each 3 times, then used a pick to add volume to my hair.

For the night, I place a bonnet on my hair or do mini-pineapples to create more volume.
