It sounds like you need a good styler. Like a gel or something. Is the weather very humid where you live? Your hair may be sucking in all that moisture from the air causing you to loose definition. I'm in the south. So over the summer, if I even think I want definition I have to use, at the very least, flax seed or eco styler gel to keep my definition for a good lenth of time.

Hi Nhappy, I appreciate you commenting, I Live In Ohio, Its Cold mostly Upt until about may or June, But I used that echo style gel for a bun and it works wonders straightening and Holding My Hair, what does flax seed do? I will try That, I love your hair, Ill do it on dry twist but Id probaby have to wash my hair once a week, Is two strand twist considered a protective style

I agree with Nhappy Jackie. You need to twist/braid using a gel and/or a twist and loc butter. I use Qhemet's Hydrate and Twist Butter along with Organic Root Stimulator Loc and Twist gel.

Your hair is pretty to Id love to try your method i kNow I can find the organic root, But what is the Qhemets Hydrate

[BajanPrincess82]

Thanks! The Qhemet butter can be ordered online and i heard some stores do sell it. You'll have to search. I got it from my mom who got it from a friend. And you don't have to use a whole lot. Just use a little butter and/or gel per twist.

Flax seed is a gel. Look it up of youtube for recipes (basically boiling seeds). I mainly use this because I prefer to use natural products. The Qhemet (sp?) I've read is good as well, and it is all natural. They have a website that you can look at too, or try to find it in a swap. Thanks for the compliment, I think we all find something about the next head we like :P, Example, I love your waves you get with buns, my hair don't even try to do that. I want that El'Debarge (sp?) wave look a lot of naturals are able to achieve with their buns and puff,....but not in this head..LOL

Oh ok miss Jackie, ill check out the flax seed people always talking about it, so ill check it out, I'm learning my 4c hair so its hard to figure whats what. But I know it likes the leave in conditions, the olive oil, and Hawaiian silky, I totally understand wanting the waves foe the bun, smiling el debarge, I want those waves elongated, I need my hair to grow, I just did ten twist and put it in a curly pony tail for now, when I forreal my twist outs the waves is nice but how people achieve there styles I don't get, my roots be thick :-)
