I noticed that u are a fellow Bison, and I know u said u do alot of your own styling, but do u ever or have u ever gotten yours done professionally and if so, do u know of any good salons in the DC area. Being that it'll be my first time getting this done, I kinda wanna do it right and then I can go from there.

Yeah, i've been to a couple of places (literally lol). I've found that alot of people on the east & in the south have relaxers (because of humidity), so many of the hairstylists out here didn't know how to do that hardcore press that I was used to. However, my freshman year I went to this hair salon that my friend would go to that was a lil futher down Georgia Ave (towards Silver Spring, MD.). The women who work there are a bit older, so they tend to do those tight grandma curls lol, however, they can press their tails off. So when my friend and I would leave, we'd just yank those curls down IMMEDIATELY lol...but were still grateful for a good ole school press.
However, a salon that i've gone to that does great styling AS WELL as a great press is Salon Essence on U street (across the street from the U st/cardoza metro stop). Demetrius and Thomas work there and both of them can work the HECK out of a ceramic flat iron, but Demtrius was my stylist. It was the first time that I didn't have a pressing comb used to straighten my hair, and the press literally lasted me for WEEKS (mind you i have very thick hair and I sweat easily in the scalp area). Alot of HU women go to them, so i'd definately say you are in save hands with either one of em
As for getting natural hairstyles done professionally, i have yet to do that. Just mainly because i'm cheap and I figure why pay someone else for something that I could just do on my own lol. Granted, i do have my own stove, pressing combs, and flat iron, but it's just something about the way a professional hooks up a press. Not sayin I would never let a professional do natural hairstyles on me, but i'd just have to wait until my pockets were a lil fatter lol. There are definately a plethora of salons in the area that specialize in it tho. Trust, you'll see ALOT of handbills on campus for different salons in the area
man o man o man i feel a bit of experimenting coming on from my end with the twist outs how does that work would it be better if i washed my hair did it wait for it to dry good then take it out or when its dry........ All of a sudden i get the feeling i wanna grow out my hair natural cuz it doesnt make sense risking sumone permin my hair and it fall out cuz its in the wrong hands and I WISH SOMEONE HAD TOLD ME I COULDA JUST USED A DAMN FLAT IRON OR A FRIGGIN HOT COMB to straighten my hair rather than a damn perm for my type of hair its no problem......but wateva thanks for the pics
You could do a twist out either way...wet or dry. However, I always do mine when my hair is wet or slightly damp because it makes my hair curly (which allows for the twists to hold better), plus they also last longer when applied on wet hair. I find that my twists frizz easily when done on dry hair. However, when your hair is dry, the twist out definately does have more length (wet hair has shrinkage), and it has more of a "wavy" appearance. So once again, it really just depends on the look you are going for (long, short, curly, wavy, etc.).
I officially loc my hair in Feb 07. I could not find many hairstyles or stylists who like to do natural hair. I see now that are different types of styles for natural hair.

Oh yep... there are a PLETHORA of options for natural hair. It just takes a lil time and experimenting.
I've been thinking about locking mine up, but I know that i'm so fickled when it comes to my hair. I'm forever changing the style and color, and knowing me i'd wake up one day not wanting locs anymore lol. I think they are so gorgeous tho, so i'm sure your hair looks fabulous
