More Isn't Always Good

So the style (twist outs) I rocked for Thanksgiving only lasted that day because the next day when I tried to revive my hair, my hair was very flaky! I couldn't even do a style because there were so many flakes. I wonder if this is how the coconut pudding is or if I used too much of it. The reason why I think I was using too much is because while I was doing the twists, so much of the white/cream colored excess was left on the twist.

I decided to wash it, that was the only way to get the flakes out. I washed with conditioner only (co-wash). This was the 3rd time this week I washed my hair. I am not getting a lot of hair coming out on the comb when I detangle, so that's a good sign.

I did the twists again, this time a little differently. I did them smaller, trying to keep the size consistent throughout. I still used the coconut pudding but this time after every twist, I took a towel and squeezed the twist to get out all the excess pudding. Hopefully this works or I will be very disappointed with the Komaza Care products. These were the twists I did; I am loving that I am doing my hair!! There is so much room for experimentation. I still don't know how to cornrow my own head. Can anyone give suggestions on how I can learn, or a technique they use on their own head that is different when they do others people's hair? I can cornrow other people's hair but for some reason I can't braid my own.

Do you see how defined those twists look? There was very minimal frizz.


I flat twisted the front, I'd like to experiment more with that. Maybe flat twist around my head into a puff pony tail. The possibilities are endless. Suggestions are welcome!

Not bad right?

  1. Hey Val,

    I didn't actually take pics of it, but I did go to the salon a few weeks ago for a natural flat twist hairstyle. The twist out is the way had my hair for Whitney's Bday pics. You may have seen it on FB. Check it out
