Two Strand Twistout --- Fail?

I promised I would revisit the L'Oreal Studio Line Unkempt, Out of Bed Weightless Texturizer.  Since I was off on Monday, I decided to two strand twist my hair Sunday night.  I figured if I didn't like the results, I would have time to rewash my hair.

Twisting my whole head took about 30-40 minutes.

 I started with dry hair and applied a bit of gel to each section before twisting.

By morning, they flattened out a bit.  

My mother said I could wear them as is...uh no Mom I'm not S. Epatha Merkerson. Though I love her dearly.

Um not exactly what I hoped for.  The texture was nice but I couldn't shape it because the gel held my hair a bit too much.  Attempts to manipulate left my hair frizzy.

Oh well back to the drawing board.
