I finally tried the Drybar in NYC and boy, that was a waste of my time.  I had to walk out with my hair half wet.  I specifically put in the special request section for my appointment that someone call me by 9:30 am if there was no stylist that could blow out my hair, African American woman...

I tried another flat twist but this time I used a different pattern, straight back flat twists.  I recorded it here: http://youtu.be/tGJfiZPfFws  I actually like this style much better and it was easier to put the flat twists in going straight back. I think it turned out well and this time...

I finally tried a flat twist out for the first time ever!  I recorded it here:  http://youtu.be/iHviua7cMaU Although it turned out well, it took me 40 minutes to put in 6 twists.  I did the flat twist out on hair that had been in a bun.  The curl pattern turned out very different from my...

I tried a twist out using Curl Prep Sweet Buttah and although it came out pretty defined and moisturized, it was too frizzy from my take down.  I wore a wig for a few days after setting my hair in twists and took down the twists after 3 days.  I should have separated the twists more...

I ended up trying out Good Hair Days Magic Grip hairpins on my 30 second bun.  The pins hold a ton of hair and they are very light.  I could not even feel the hairpin in my head once it was installed.  I had a twist out that did not come out that well so I pinned it up.  I filmed it...

I have not had a good trim in 7 months, other than clipping off the ends of my two strand twists on my own.  I was going to try a new salon but when I drove over to make the appointment I was told that a trim was $100.  I made an appointment for a trim at another salon that I’ve used...

I decided to try my Goody Spin Pin bun on freshly washed natural hair to see if it would look as great as the Goody Spin Pin bun done on an old twist out.  I did not use a comb or brush or gel.  I used only a Goody elastic band, a small comb as a “stopper” and a Goody Spin Pin....

I needed a quick style and ended up trying this bun on an old twist out. It took only a few seconds to achieve this style after I moisturized my hair.  I filmed the process here: http://youtu.be/-bUy31Vy6rM This style was done on an old twist out. I sprayed my hair with water, added my leave...

You can achieve a high and full bun on short to medium length natural hair without weave.  One of my hair sisters uses this style  and I decided to give it a try after wearing a twist out for a week.  If you can twist your hair, you can do this style. Only a few inches of hair are needed....
