The 2nd time around...#3strand twistout #SheaMoisture

Here are the results of my three (3) strand #twistout. I started out on a two day old twist out. I spritz my hair with water, applied my oil mixture to seal in the water, applied the Curl Defining Cream, and another layer of my oil mixture. I really like the definition, and it did last for two days this time around before I needed to re-twist, but by that time it was wash day.

My FIRST time using Shea Moisture Products....

I guess I will start this post off by informing you that I FAILED to take a photo this morning when I first took my flat twist out. My hair was defined for all of 30 minutes. By the time I got 15 minutes into my morning commute, I had lost all #curl definition. By the time I walked past the mirrored windows of my building (30 minutes) later, I had these results....

With all that said.... I really like #Shea #Moisture products when it comes to keeping my hair moisturized. I will see how it holds the moisture over the next few days. I also liked the way it made my natural (#4C) curl pattern hold. The Curl Defining Cream says it's best when used on twist outs braid outs and wash n go's. I think it would work best with wash n go's only since it helps to define your natural curl pattern. I used all the products in the #Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Shine Kit.

ORS w/Eco Styler

I hardly ever use a product to "hold" the definition in my twist outs. I usually just use a leave in, oil and #moisturizer. This time I decided to add some Eco Styler to my regimen. I Shampooed and conditioned my hair using #Tresemme moisture riche. I also used the Split End Remedy as my leave-in. I tried the #LOC method again to seal in more #moisture. I used #EVOO and #Castor #Oil. I mixed my #ORS moisturizer with some Eco Styler gel (half & half). Here are the results. (earrings are from Ebony's Jewelry Box http://dreamjewels.kitsylane.com)

I wore this twist out for 4 days before I had to re-twist at night. My hair was still soft and wasn't dry at all. I think I will continue using this method until I stumble upon something new or just want to experiment with some other products again.
