After my cornrows up top were done, I twisted damp hair up with castor oil, left it in for the night and then did big twistouts during the day.
On the first day, I accessorized with some cute flowers between the cornrows and the twistout on both sides.
(You might notice some Ouchless hair ties at the end of cornrows, they are in there because I used them to band together some ends of the rows, so I could incorporate them into large twists/twistouts. My hair is kind of fine, thicker in the front but in the back parts can look sort of severe, so I try to blend where I can).
Here's a nice view of the cornrow part on Thursday:
I intended to wear the bottom half of my hair out most of the week but things got busy, so I left the bottom part of my hair in large twists for about half the week. My laziness paid off because the crazy weather switches (between crazy humidity/rain and arid heat) probably would have done a number on my strands.
Throughout the week I maintained by rinsing my hair daily and spraying a water/castor oil mixture. It was nice, almost I didn't need a comb the week and when I did it was just to start a part. I could gently comb through my naps with my fingers, castor oil helped me work through many of the rare, small knots.
Today, I finally co-washed and re-twisted the bottom half my hair (smaller)
I ended up taking the hair ties out for washing and then put in some medium sized chunky twists. I think I'll leave it like this into the weekend and then maybe I'll shampoo/condition and then put some styled cornrows...if I do that it will be a first.
