One of my favorite go-to transitioning styles was a “two strand flat twist out” because it was easier to camouflage the two different textures.
I actually haven’t done this since I’ve been 100% natural because I knew it wouldn’t look the way I expected it to look. This past weekend I decided to revisit the style. Instead of twisting it straight back like I always did in the past, I twisted it the way I wanted my hair to fall.
I twisted my hair while it was wet, as I’ve always done. Of course, it wasn’t dry the following day. Surprise! Surprise! I just knew it would turn out disastrous, but to my surprise, I was very pleased with the results. My hair came out fluffy, but still had great definition.
XOXO,

Love it! I do the exact same thing! It’s like the only style I can do right now lol. I’m still transitioning though, so I have to roll my ends with rollers. Yours came out really beautifully!
Funny enough, I actually toyed with the idea of rolling the ends, but I never usually did that so I didn’t want to try anything tooooo different. I was going out that day, so it was already bad enough that I was trying a new hairstyle. LOL
How long will the style last?
I have no clue. I only did it for the weekend and I retwisted it in the night, prob because I’m so used to retwisting my hair. I don’t really like to sleep with my hair out.
Thank you Rece! I will probably do the same. Thank you for sharing your journey. 🙂
Thanks for reading.
It looks great!!! I can’t flat twist for nothing. Ido you find it easier to do instead of regular twist? Maybe you know what I’m doing wrong. When I flat twist it doesn’t stay, my hair starts to unravel. Got to practice more.
It’s definitely easier because it’s only a handful of twists, compared to my usual 20. I have nooooo idea what you’re doing wrong, I’d prob have to see it.
It looks good Rece! And you can even do it on dry stretched hair. Just add a little moisture and twist. Then you’ll have less shrinkage 🙂
…and that’s exactly what I did for Sunday!
Your twists are so lush and thick …. I can’t stand it!!! LOL!!
Lol!!! Your “new growth” looks like it’ll be the same.
