A lot of people, black women included, think tightly coiled hair will not grow past their shoulders. If a woman with type 4b or 4c hair has hair past her arm pits, it must be a weave. Let Sera2544 dis-spell the myth as you take a look at her 5 year journey. She's been natural over ten years, however for the first 5 she chronicled her progress. Do you think you can achieve these lengths in 5 years? How do you plan on doing it?

 

So you've finally figured out how to achieve the perfect twist out, braid out or bantu-knot out, but how do you make the curls last? For a long time I thought I had to re-twist and when that didn't always work I figured these styles were only meant to last one day. Thanks to this wonderful tutorial from Donedo, I've finally seen the light! Find out how to preserve your sexy with this totally easy to do protective style. I feel like with the right scarf, you may even be able to wear this style out in public.
 

Not for the faint at heart, this style definitely requires some skill and a little practice. Flat twist outs produce some of the best defined curls no matter your hair type. Check out how Mini Marley achieves this style.
