    When I was airdrying in a rope braid, after tying it I would twirl the tassel as well, in the same direction I twirled the two sections in the ropebraid. It blended well enough for me.

    Maybe the problem is leaving a tassel? I twist all the way down, even if it means taking hair from one twist section and combining it with the other so the rope braid contines all the way down. I do this with braids too.

    But you need to tie it somewhere, don't you? My tassel is usually less than an inch long btw.

    I like braidouts and twistouts on 3c and up hair.

    Back to normal hair.

    Well, I've reached the end of blowout endurance.

    Yesterday, the last 10 inches or so was getting really puffy. But, since it has rained every day since my blowout, getting 6 days out of it was pretty good. I did a little S&D since I'm post-color and it is a lot easier to do on the straighter hair.

    I did an overnight DT last night with Curl Junkie Curl Rehab (the gardenia one that smells lovely) and oiled the last foot or so on top of that with Greenridge Herbal Hot Oil hair Treatment.

    As a whole, I really hate liquid oils on my hair as they just make my hair all crunchy and dry and seem to block moisture. I like buttery type oils as a sealant on damp hair on wash days. Oil sealing on damp hair does help the whole porosity thing.

    But, this liquid one I like, if only on really wet hair. Maybe it has to do with the way it is blended. I still had the bottle from the winter, which had one application left. I also like the rosemary smell it has. My hair felt much better this morning. My nape where my coarsest hairs are) had started to get itchy and wiry feeling, partly from the fresh color, and probably partly from the arrival of fall weather.

    I rinsed this morning and used a keratin rich conditioner. My hair is still wet, but it does feel nice and back to normal.

    These are two big twists/rope braids wrapped around each other, but I figured the visual would help illustrate my point better than words:

    RCC it sounds like a nice oil, although EVOO does just fine for me as a hot oil treatment (it's just a little PITA to remove heh).

    Now my time to share, an annoyance though - I read a little bit about polyquats on NC, and found them in my cone free conditioner I've been using. How annoying is that?! It's the only brand of conditioners that don't contain cones, but do contain EDTA (which is essential for me since I regularly swim in a icky chlorine pool). The only alternative might be Nature's Gate conditioner, but they are 4 times the price!

    SOme polyquats build up more than others. If it's not building up, I wouldn't worry about it.

    But, if one is getting unexplained buildup, learning about polyquats is helpful.

    lol my rope braid is much less chunky than yours and I jusy twist the tassel without tying it too. Looking at my own best rope-braided curls pic, I don't see any weird ends. I think people with different curl type might able to get it to twist that well below the tie, which results the weird ends.

    Well, I can never be sure, since I have some icky tangly velcro like ends all the time. But information is power, so it's good to be aware that something can build up on my hair after all.

    curly girls offer me your pearls of wisdom!!.....
    I have 2b/c type hair with growing out layers that just frizzes and looks horrid no matter what. I always put in leave in conditioner and scrunch it up but it still frizzes around the top. What am i doing wrong? Also how do you revive day after hair?
