4C hair has no definition!? Oh yeah? Check this out!

I'm going to keep it short and sweet...don't believe the hype 4C curls "POP" and "BANG" with the rest of 'em!
It's unfortunate that my camera couldn't fully capture the sheer fabulous-ness of my tiny spirals...they looked even better (more defined) in person.








 The style was created from the same blow-out in my last post.  I've been moiturizing it ever night with water and my leave in conditioner and re-twisting it, either in four big twists (2x2), or six medium twists (2X3).  Either way my hair is always a little stretched in the morning.  To get the shrunken look from today I applied gel to the left side of my head and slicked it all to the right side as far as my hair would extend and used 4 big bobby pins to secure the sides and my small black styling comb to secure the front to create a faux bang.  I was trying to achieve this look by Ms.Vcharles, but my twists were definitely less defined--so I added water and leave in to tame it a bit.  It ended up far more shrunken that I'd aimed for, but it worked out perfectly because my coils made me smile today--once I got used to them.  (From nappy gurl woes to Whoa, look at my coils!!!)  *I did not wear the scarf to work with this particular style...I used it to replace the styling combs and bobby pins from earlier.
