I had been wanting to try the twist-n-curl for a long time now–ever since you first posted about it on NC, almost this time last year.
Well I finally tried it and I love it !! I have been wearing it for about 5 weeks now, consistently, and I get sooooo many compliments. I love that the style lasts for 3-4 days and its a tamed style, unlike my wash-n-go’s which are becoming un-tameable the longer my hair gets. I’ve follow Nikki’s steps for the TnC, just changing the products. In the first picture I used Lustrasilk Shea Mango conditioner and I made a spritz to seal with using Karen’s Body Beautiful Hair Milk and water–that was my first twist-n-curl– its a little frizzy but hey it was my first time.
In the second picture I used Lustrasilk Shea Mango combined with Jessicurl Weekly Deep Treatment, and then I used Karen’s Body Beautiful Hair Milk on top of that, and then I sealed with Qhemet Burdock Root Butter Cream. The results were soft and shiny! Definitely the best results I’ve ever had. I have been experimenting with different leave-ins and such. I had good results with Aussie Moist Conditioner and KBB Hair Milk too!. Basically, I love it and it will be a mainstay. I think everyone who is having problems with tangles/knots/split ends/breakage should try this style. It’s only been a little over a month and I can already notice a difference in my hair. I thank you Nikki for innovating this style–*snaps* to you Curly Nikki!
pretty!!
This is oober cute! I can’t wait til my hair grows out 🙁
thank you ladies for all the comments!!
Afrocentric Mocha–I sleep with a silk scarf on each night, and i dont really moisturize, my hair retains the moisture from the original set for the first three to four days, which is usually how long it lasts b4 co-washing and setting again–i probably should moisturize in between but i havent learned how to not mess it up lol

SO pretty..I love it. Do you cover your hair at night in order to maintain your look. Also, what are you putting on your hair to maintain moisture???
That looks GREAT! I am counting down the days until I get enough length to try this style.
