It's NOT the style that GROWS the hair. it's the TLC you put into your hair that helps it to retain its length. Haiir is ALWAYS growing. Mini twist just help you to retain your length by keeping your strands and ends protected. They allow you to easily re-moisturize and hydrate your hair. I wish people would stop saying GROW when it comes to protective styles and products the growth is ALWAYS there. its the CARE TLC that YOU put into your hair that maintains it healthy state leading to length retention. regardless of this, I like this video the pros and cons were good

i’ve been doing my own two strand twists for almost 4 years nonstop and when my hair was in the shorter phase, I would rarely get compliments. Now that mine come down past my shoulders, everyone notices them! I appreciate any compliments nonetheless BUT chile this journey ain’t no joke 😂

I would add a possible con: mini twists will display your hair density. If you want a full look, you'll need very high density hair or add hair.

Last week I installed some mini twists late at night with no product and soon they started getting frizzy and tangled. I was being lazy and it looked a mess. This new week I made an aloe Vera and flax seed gel, blended it with water, put it in a spray bottle, and did a fresh set. The difference is night and day, my hair is juicy and looks nourished. I feel you on the putting the effort and keeping hair moisturized when needed.

This video is right on time because I just started my mini twist journey a week ago and I feel bald 🤦🏾‍♀️ I keep reminding myself to trust the process. *New Subbie 🎉*

I did them for the first time two weeks ago. It took me about 4.5 hrs. I did them blow dried and with only oiled scalp, a light leave in spray and a light amount of gel. I loved it. I'm blonde so it gave color. Once i took them down, i wore my hair from the unravel for a week and loved it too. I had 2 good styles😂

I like to braid my mini twists at the roots. I think it helps it last longer and prevent it from tangling.

I totally agree with you. Twists and fluffy twistouts are my go-to style.
Going natural with your hair and face can be uncomfortable in the beginning. We have the same story. I was hiding behind make-up due to break outs and scars. I forced myself to accept my perceived flaws and haven't looked back since. I actually feel uncomfortable wearing even light make-up now, so these days I just put on lipgloss and go. Its a wonderful feeling ❤.

[vettelofton]

This is so true! I wasn’t comfortable with the look at first but it grew my hair out and so easy for me to just get up and go. I tried to do a wash and go and was just like I miss my twist and I’m back with my twist so low maintenance

[JadesolaOshisanyaJaydee]

Take down time and hassle is also a con but for all the time I gain back during the 4 to 6 weeks my hair is in twists is worth the hassle and time it takes to put them in and take them down

[veeluv]

Omg.. you hit it on the head when talking about the insecurity of starting the twist.. my hair seem so short right now.. but I am going to stick with it because I want the growth. Thank you much👍🏽🧡

[MsCrissell]

I started wearing mini twists over the summer. I wore them pulled up and added a hair bun on top. I got the courage to wear them down and went through exactly what you said about feeling bald! I did them again with a side part instead of a middle part and liked them a lot more. Now that I'm a couple of months in, I'm getting more and more compliments. I've just learned that the ones in my nape area need a lot of moisture (leave-in, glycerin water, oil) to prevent single strand knots when I do my full refresh.

[KayembeMuyumba]

No lies, i also started my mini twist some couple of weeks ago and it grew my hair like crazy to length retention i needed 🎉🎉

[ThePookie]

I personally cannot wash my hair while it is in twists. I lost a lot of hair because it mats and get tangle.

[Soul.Is.Willing]

I envy the ones who can wet and wash their twist. I cannot, my hair will be a tangled mess. But overall twist are beautiful, and when they get messy they give a dread loc esque vibe/style.

[notofhertime]

I love this video, I definitely went through that phase where I don’t feel as beautiful with my mini twist but as time went on it really does get better! This video is super relatable! 💕

[Locdpisces]

Words of encouragement to everyone ..I wore mini twists for before I loced my hair and I still miss them even though I have locs


U can really style them. My favorite thing to do with them was curl them and pin them
To the side or curl them and let them hang

They help retain length BUT let your hair breathe for a week before putting them back in. Your ends are sensitive . Keep them moisturize and take your time when taking them down

[inthecloudswithskye]

You are the sweetest. I just started two weeks ago I'm 49 and feel like i look like a kid cause i already look young.. Lol.. your video helped me with that 😊 I'm gonna keep going ❤
