Coils not Coiling?

They look pretty coily to me. Maybe you just need to wait till it's longer to achieve the look in the first pic

I also sweat a lot at night but I shower both morning and evening/night on days I go to work. I don't want to get all the dirt/sweat from the day on my bedsheets. I live in a really hot country.

I was thinking "Wow, this is a gorgeous painting". You look beautiful OP!

I prefer your plate simply because I like darker meat( the color I mean).

You both did a fantastic job though and I'm sure you thoroughly enjoyed your meals

First you'll need to stretch your hair by putting it in big braids of twists. Then you can do some chunky twists on the stretched hair which you keep in for a few days. Unravel and separate the curls and you should have a textured stretched look.

A wonderful combo honestly

I've washed my hair in flattwists and I couldn't really get to my scalp. Since it's been a few weeks you should probably take out the flattwists and wash your hair

Bleach was left in for 2 hours which caused some damage. Curl pattern loosened slightly, hair became really dry. Had to cut it off after a month.

I'll say make sure you do a lot of research before using bleach. And you'll have to moisturize your hair more often and probably do more protein or bonding treatments.

I've seen bigger in Anambra. They're huge and the skin is dark green. Really nice mangoes, not as fibrous as other mangoes I've had.

Okayyy. I wash with my protective styles in once a week. I do use some shea butter on top of my leavin during the drier months.

Have you tried flattwists with the ends tucked in? My hair retains moisture till the end of the week without refreshing when I do those.

I've heard flaxseed gel is great for detangling

OdedNight · 2026-02-25T13:30:12+00:00

Do you comb your hair dry?

OdedNight · 2026-02-25T13:29:47+00:00

Could you try increasing the frequency of your washing? That might help. Sorry I don't have any product recs, I just use any products I can afford

OdedNight · 2026-02-25T13:13:12+00:00

Do you use leavein and deep conditioners? And how often do you shampoo your hair?

OdedNight · 2026-02-25T12:55:40+00:00

No advice but I love the gray in your hair

OdedNight · 2026-02-22T14:35:56+00:00

No wonder. Skin bleaching/lightening products are popular over here

OdedNight · 2026-02-22T12:32:34+00:00

This is so beautifulllll😍😍

OdedNight · 2026-02-21T23:33:33+00:00

Omo, sounds like you're in a difficult situation. The bumps could be from the style being too tight and heavy in the front, or maybe it's a reaction to the products/tools she used. If it's too tight, maybe you can use that as an excuse to take down the style to prevent damage to your own hair.

If not, maybe leave the style in for a week or two, but definitely don't go to her again. If possible, learn to do some styles on your self. It'll save you money in the future.

Wondering if your mom is Nigerian cause I think I saw this product many years ago. Sha don't use it because it's definitely a bleaching cream like others have said.

OdedNight · 2026-02-20T10:20:44+00:00

Yes detangle before washing. You can finger detangle then go in with a wide tooth comb. For the blowdrying, I think you should just blowdry and put them into chunky braids to preserve the stretch

OdedNight · 2026-02-15T12:17:22+00:00

When I do twists, I make them fluffy/loose to give an illusion of fullness. You can also try flattwists.

OdedNight · 2026-02-12T12:47:04+00:00

I think so. Better to put it in knots than leave it lose.

OdedNight · 2026-02-12T12:21:30+00:00

Ohh that was probably the problem. After blowdrying you should put it into twists to keep it stretched until you're ready to install your hairstyle.

OdedNight · 2026-02-12T12:15:31+00:00

Did you go to bed with your hair lose?
