Twist and shout


We are still in the ongoing hair debacle.
It's taken so long for Jax to grow out his hair that I desperately want to try to make it work with some sort of style!



This was our most recent style idea.
Hair twists.
After watching many YouTube videos on the procedure, I had it down packed!!!!

Or so I thought...........
ARGH!!!!  
SCREAM!!!!!!!
SHOUT!!!!
SWEAR WORDS!!!!!




We started with a good scalp massage, hair washing and deep conditioning.



Then, as per YouTube, I parted the hair and started applying curl gel to each little strand.



A half hour into it, and I could see that this was not really looking quite like the YouTube examples.  But we are this far into it....can't stop now!!!




At the hour and 15 mark, I was halfway through the process with the results starting to look like he should be on Toddlers and Tiaras with his princess locks.
His hair has a good nap around the edges that twist up the way fro hair should.  But the middle part of his head has a different texture and wave.




A little over two hours, and this was the end result.
Nothing like I had planned, and a bit disappointing.
I still dried it and crossed my fingers that by morning it would miraculously look totally awesome!!!
NOPE!!!
It looked like shit.
A head of  nappie and un-nappie shit.

Any ideas of what style we should try next??????

Oh my hell! Hilarious! I agree with you....it was bad! I thought his hair was best during the grow out process right around the 4th of July time. That was a good length to showcase his thickness and the curls and texture without it getting too incredibly crazy.
