My exact technique when I wear my wigs. I suck at cornrows so I opted for this instead. Been doing this for years. Faster, flatter, less tension, & takedown is a lot easier then cornrows. I use Doo Gro oil in the parts 2x a week. Hair is now bra strap length & healthy even though it's bleached.
love it 👏🏾
How long did it took to bra length (since you started this technique)? Does your haïr grow this fast naturaly(genes maybe) or IS thanks to this technique?
@@justmyselfj just do this for 2-4 years straight. It will grow. It’s about being patient & consistent. Take care of your hair like a plant. Don’t ever let it be dried up under your wigs. Make sure to wash those corn rows or flat twists rows every two weeks while they’re in the twists or braids. Leave them in for 2-3 months at a time then do a full take down then re-braid or re-twist your hair. Oil your braids 3-4 a weeks then add on cream based moisturizer then spray leave in conditioner.
I work in the film industry and I have been doing the 2 strand twist to prep the hair for wig application but I do the front section from ear to ear rather than going back which allows me to secure the wig at the hairline and avoid pinning at the same spot which causes breakage.
The systems we use in the film industry is vastly different than the system the average person wears and maintains their wigs weather it’s ventilated, wefted, human hair or synthetic hair. I teach the fundamental of working and maintaining a wig to for a realistic and longer life, no need to throw out your wigs. Blond wigs are for when you go to parties, never on a film set unless the character calls for it. As a black woman you were born with black hair so make it look real if you are not using your natural hair colour. Don’t let my skin colour fool you, I was born in Trinidad and had a salon where I serviced all textures of hair before I came to Canada, worked in theatre, Opera and Ballet for many years and transitioned to film because of my knowledge, a wig maker, stylist in contemporary, vintage, Avantguard, and any design you put in front of me. I have trained many who are gainfully employed and heading Hair departments in theatre and Film. You never stop learning, fashion trends evolve every year. Good Luck on your Journey, be respectful, professional, kind and grateful. Abundant Blessings.🙏🏻❤️
Such a great tip about the front. It makes total sense!
Hello,thanks for the video AWSOME tips. The question i have is for @Fina Khan my name is Tina. I am a salon owner and a stylist in Des Moines Iowa. I have a three-year plan to get into the film industry. Is it possible to speak to you and get some guidance as to how to not only get in but also get a professional portfolio ready for a position? Excuse the channel it’s my son.

How would flat twisting across make it flat with a lace front wig especially with thick hair? (Can't visualize this just seems like it would be bulky )
Omg I can't believe how easy this is. This tutorial is a GODSEND for a college student who never learned how to braid, I swear. I've followed, thank you so much!
I'm white af, but I can't stop watching these videos.
I respect how much you guys care for your hair and all the beautiful styles and how versatile it is.
My bestie was born in Ghana and she's a 4a, she was the one who got me into these vids. I love her hair and I love how she has the choice to do so many different styles with it, its different nearly every week. There is so many options for you guys, euro hair is boring.
I love watching people's journeys going natural and seeing them find the beauty in their god given texture, because it always looks so much better.
I'm shocked that you're under 3k right now, your videos don't come across as other smaller channel videos. You are amazing at what you do, I can really see you going places ❤
your bestie is so lucky to have a friend like you! thank you for being able appreciate the natural hair community 🤍 and thank you for the kind words, 100k is on the way!!!
Girl, I'm white AF too! I'm over here with straight, baby fine hair admiring the texture and color that these women have with their natural hair. It never ceases to amaze me how many unique, protective styles these artists create. I love how each region has their own style of plaiting and twists.
Truly nice comment ❤
yall are allowed to watch people with textured hair without announcing it, lol. (I know you know, hehe). We can all and should learn about hair different from ours. I think we textured folk have to know about straight hair, but not vice versa...
@@rosedevereux2391 People are being friendly in their own way.
2 strand twist are much healthier for your natural hair especially if you have type 4 hair...i agree with you 100%...i use flat twisting for EVERYTHING...before i crochet hair too
i swear it works! i love it
Do you blow your hair out first or just straight flat twist it with no stretch?
@@TheSankapan i just flat twist it with no blowout
@@TheSankapan you can do either or, both methods work well
Ooh it's going to take me a lot of practice because this is still like cornrows.
My hair fell out all over after Covid, and I like to wear wigs while it’s regrowing. Braiding it makes the hair loss worse, so this saved my freaking life. Thank you for this!!!
Stretch damage is a thing. I took out my braids after about 3 weeks, and my hair was pretty straight and shedding. This method is so much safer.
Flat Twist Is Way Better Sis!!! Thanks for helping a Sis Out.
right!! you’re so welcome boo 🤍
I just got me my new wig I’m going to try this out good looking out 🙂
Girl I was about say something... Thought u were gonna talk some nonsense about wrapping your hair, which is great if people are actually aiming for damaged hair.
But what u actually did was SPOT ON. I have been twisting my hair under wigs for years now and it works like a charm. The twists do get very flat, undoing during removal is a breeze and u get less tangling when undoing them. Great vid, keep up the good work 👍
beautifully said! thank you 🤍
I kept doing two strand twists through all of quarantine last year and my hair has grown and thickened up like to the ends!!!! I'd leave them for like 3 weeks take down and redo, but now that I'm going out more I still wanna protect my hair so I'm finna bust out the wig🤪 thank you for the tips girly
literally same, exactly how i grew my hair out. protective styles, natural products and consistency! waist length here we come ✨✨
@@SheroiTaylor Here for it!!!!
I have been doing it for 2 months now, I see a little growth but not that much ☹.
@@SheroiTaylor when you get to waist length, will you finally bust your hair out of jail/ wig cap and wig. .
@@tama3442 Amen 🙏🏽❣️ Amen I really need to hear that right now in Jesus name we pray
yess I can actually do this! still can’t cornrow 😫
it’s okay 😭 at least you can do this lol!!
Thank you so much for this! I am terrible at cornrows and it is very annoying having to ask someone to braid my hair for wig braids! Thanks for thinking of the non braiders!!
i’m glad i could help 🤍
Omg same. I have to try to find someone to braid my hair to put on a wig I hate that
you legit saved me with this video 😭😭 I can’t do cornrows to save my life but I was able to follow this and twist my hair in like 15 minutes?? thank you so so much 🙏🏾😫
oop 15 minutes??? 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I’ve been looking for a way to lay my hair for wearing wigs but my scalp is so sensitive that traditionally braid downs make my head hurt just looking at them. I think you’ve just changed my life.
omg i’m so glad this method is better for you!
This is such a great idea. I always pay someone to cornrows my hair for under my braids, but I can certainly twist. I don't know why I didn't think of this. Thanks for sharing. 😃
you’re welcome! i know how much cornrows can be a nightmare 🥴 this is def more simple
You honestly made braiding so easy just now. I feel like I could do it right after watching this video without even check back. The explanation was amazing.
thank you! glad i could help 🙏🏾
Glad I saw this, from now on I will do the flat twist on my daughter's hair, so her wig will fit better. Thank you!
ahhh let me know how that works out! 😊
Sheroi Taylor thank you 🌹
@@SheroiTaylor I will let you know
Just starting to wear units and I was worried about trying to braid. This is so so much easier. New subscriber. Thank you.
i’m so glad this helps!! welcome and thank you ☺️🤍
can you guys tell i was struggling with these nails! LOL now that i took them off it’s sooo much easier to do my hair. look out for my next natural hair tutorial posting in the next couple days 🤍
Ahahah
I do this occasionally. It’s much quicker than cornrows. But to secure the twists so they stay, I transition into a single braid at the nape and continue braiding all the way down to the length of the section. As I continue I incorporate the end of the last braid for extra security.
I just subscribed 😄😄. I have been straightening my hair every two weeks and now I got myself a wig to protect my hair a bit as well as give it a break from the heat so this video has made it very easy for me . As a matter of fact and going to try it tonight. Thank you for taking the time to share this with people like myself 😊. Greetings from Vienna.
🤍🤍much love and thanks! let me know how your hair turns out when you try it 😊
Girl this is my go to! I no longer cornrow. And love the quick takedown when it’s wash day 🙌🏾
You just taught me something new!! Just started my flat twists and I love them already. Thank you❤️
glad i could help ☺️
you are so funny, the part about humbling yourself without nails had me rolling! I have never been very good at canerowing my own hair, I used to get my mum to do it but I can't anymore, this is sooo helpful! I really hope it works on my hair cos it's type 3, I will defo try the braiding tip for the ends, thank you!
lol thank you 🤣 i hope it works for you, let me know how it goes!
It's cornrowing...
Girl you helped me become wayyy more confident in my wig abilities bc I suckkkk at cornrows lol ; I’m a new UA-camr & I love the energy you give but girl keep serving these videos , ❤️❤️ new subscriber 💋🥰 much love xx
💜💜💜
Girl it took me 2hrs but I did it. You the goat for this fasho!
ouuuu yes i’m glad it worked for you 🙌🏾 & thank you!!
This is what I’ve been doing recently and it’s great on time too I personally love it so so much!
Not even 2 minutes into the video I had to subscribe. You have such a magnetic personality. Great video
aww thank you gorgeous 🤍
Thank you so much. You have no idea how bad I was stressing trying to find someone to braid my hair down before I install my wigs. Now I can do it all myself
I can cornrow no problem but never learned how to flat twist 💩 I think you may have been the first person to describe it as grabbing a piece of hair every time you take a strand back. I sometimes lose that rhythm and they come out uneven and weird looking. Next time I try it, I’ll follow your instructions. May finally get it down. Thanks! 😊
i hope this works for you!!

wow, i can cornrow but I have trouble doing it to my own head. This is a life saver. I literally did it as you were doing it. took 1 minute to learn. THANK YOU QUEEN
Subscribed!
Been looking for a video like this forever! I’ve not had success with most flat twist videos out here because they aren’t easy to follow. So glad I found you. Video is so simple to follow and relatable. Well done!
thank you, im so glad i could help!
This young lady right here has my exact hair on her head like jeez😱..and it’s so beautiful ❤️
Your hair looks pretty just in twists! Wow! Thank you for this tutorial. Been doing cornrows for years. Now I will try this new technique! Thank you!❤
Never thought about twist until now 🤔I will definitely try your method. Thanks girl!!
I searched this topic because my hair gets tangled and matted under my wigs then falls out when I detangle it and I don’t even leave it on for long I don’t know how to Cornrow and don’t have a stylist my hair is transitioning which is why I think it gets so matted and I have no idea what to do with I’m going to try this today thank you for your video I am going to subscribe I am still learning but don’t really know how to take care of my hair even at 21 ): my mom gave me relaxers when I was younger so I’ve never known how to take care of my natural hair the internet is a blessing but it’s still hard to figure out what works for me , even though I could go to a salon I’d rather know how to do things myself because in the past I have left the salon unhappy many times plus I work full time
i hope the flat twists work for you love. i know transitioning can be rough you just have to find what works for you! be patient with your hair it’s okay! if you have any questions feel free to dm me on IG @sheroitaylor im happy to help!
@@SheroiTaylor girl they actually did ! My hair wasn’t even dry when wash day came around I had no itching before wash day I didn’t have anywhere near as much fall out no tangling ! Thank you for the method
@@laquilamarie8032 we love to hear it 👏🏾
I never thought of doing this, but it definitely saves on time!! Thanks Sis
QUESTION: If you had a wig installation appointment and the hairstylist did your hair underneath in flat twists, what would your thought be? Would you care at all? I’m a wigmaker taking the time to learn how to do installs as well. As some have mentioned flat twists are less stress on the head. For me having fine hair, cornrows have always been so taxing on my hair and twists have given me less breakage from stress.
i wouldn’t mind at all, because at the end it’s the same result, if not better! i would even request for the stylist to do twists if i was going to get an install
@@SheroiTaylor Thank you so much for answering! It helped a lot! How would you want them done pattern-wise?
@@kaitlynnlauren3382 straight back, 10-12 of them.
I think you could aak the client. But I prefer cornrows as they stay put better and help your hair grow out the faster.
Just let them know before doing it. I’d think it would be fine Especially after explaining why they’re better for the scalp/hair vs cornrows
Omg a new vid💙 I’m so ready to try this !!
try it and let me know what you think!
so thankful for this video ! i been natural for 4 yrs now after my first big chop and i felt it when you said your mom said to leave it alone, cus i was doing THE MOST daily! 😂 but anyway i have 3c hair and i go 2 weeks sometimes w/o washing - sometimes i like to do my wash and sets buuuuut dont wanna damage my hair, so i wanna be able to install a wig but dont wanna look cray! tyyyyyyyy cus i can’t cornrow for nothing lol i appreciate this! your hair is beautiful , thick and very moisturized ! God bless it and you and your channel ! 🙏🏼✨
thank you 😊
thank you for saying as long as it stays, i did it. my mom always told me i can’t braid so the affirmation made me feel good :)
This IS the video I needed to see giving me a way to protect my hair!!!
I can't seem to master cornrows. You are awesome 👌
thank you! i’m glad you found this useful
I was telling my husband how doing dishes is actually more entertaining when I have my long nails on. Long nails gets things done. Short nails is great with people. No nails is in bed staring at the wall for hours. 💜 just found you. I’m excited.
LOL definitely relatable 🤍
Really how are y’all able to do that? I can’t do anything with long nails on and that’s why I’ve given up on nails, I just don’t do my nails anymore and that’s disappointing
@@MissTracyyy223 hi. Mine are long but I have extremely long nail beds so not as much hangs off. I used to not be able to deal but now they feel like an extension of my body. I learned to deal by not trimming when I filled. It gave my brain time to adjust.
@@MissTracyyy223 try short nails or just a gel set! then work your way to long if you want. don’t give up ☹️ just find what works for you. should i make a video on doing day to day things with long nails lol 😆
i just love watching wig installs, i don’t even watch them to know how it’s just a relaxing process to watch 🤧
i definitely agree
Over 8k since you posted!!! Omg that’s awesome! Great video, def subscribed!❤️
All that I can say is wow, wow, and wow. The twist looks far much better and definitely going to give this a try. Thank you for sharing your idea.🥰💞🥰
you’re welcome 😊
I love the big blow dried hair! So pretty!
thank you 🤍🤍
I love this! Tried it Friday but did it with wet 4c hair and its the truth! Cornrows mess up my hairline and are itchy.
Ooo 15 seconds in and I’m already loving the vibes
Sissss where have you been for the past year of my natural hair journey??? So long story short, i can to UA-cam and type in two braids under a bob wig🤣 and your video was the first to pop up. II’m on my second twist and I want to literally cry because I’ve been wearing braids under my wigs and it takes forever because my hair so thick. Let me subscribe now and get back to my hair. I’ll be back in 25 minutes so I can talk to you honey and order some oil. I’m just so happy and excited you made this video🥰🥰Thank you and Thank you God🙏🏾🎉🎊
LOL i love this 🤍 thank you so much! i’m so glad you found my video🥰!!! let me know how your twists come out! thick hair problems 😭
@@SheroiTaylor you’re welcome, they came out sooo good. I had a problem twisting it on the left side. The right side is so neat. The left side, I need more practice. It’s kinna hard to do my left side. Other then that it cut my time in half as well as its not pulling on my edges. Yesss thanks again for this awesome video. I thank God for you and people like you for making videos like this to help people like me out. 🎉🙏🏾🙏🏾🎊 right thick hair problems
Thank you for this, you made it so much easier for me to do this
you’re so welcome i’m glad it worked for you 🤍
Hey! Thank you so much. I’m doing this now and although it’s far from perfect(I suck at doing my hair) it’s really helping. I almost can’t believe I’m doing it. I’ve had to have other people braid down my hair for years
I like your idea of flat twist styling the hair under a wig. I will try it. Thank you so much!
you’re welcome 🤍
I'm definitely going to give this a try. Thank you!
I’m 3 mins in and I love your vibe! Subscribed!❤
I love your personality! And tysm for this helpful vid. New subbie! 💗
aw thank you 🥺❤❤❤
This vid is old so idk if you may see this comment. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I always tried the hardest to cornrow my hair, and could never get it. I bought a wig to prevent having to comb my 4c hair everyday for school/work (which breaks my hair). I was highkey suffering, not knowing how to do a good foundation for my wig to stay flat. This video is a God-send. Thank you so much❤❤❤
I use to corn row under my wig, but I’m gonna try this, thanks for the tips 🙏🏽
no problem, this is a great method! let me know how it works out for you 😁
do you rather this or your cornrows?
I am a fan of the flat twist method for multiple reasons. For starters, it is less time consuming which is a big plus and also great for those who haven’t quite mastered how to cornrow their hair. Can save you from having to find someone or even tip to do it. It allows you to properly care for your hair more frequently and aids in protecting from less tension. Perhaps my favorite feat is that it enables you to switch up your style more often than wearing braids for weeks or months at a time. If I want to wear a wig, a half wig, ponytail, go natural or try other styles then it gives that ease of versatility and less restricting, allowing more freedom of exploration and expression. Absolutely adore it! and will be using it more often from now on. Thank you for sharing your way of doing this as there are plenty ways out there to fit everyone’s personal preferences and needs. Keep on supporting that thick luscious texture and taking us along on your journey as well. Tfs!
You are also able to get them as flat as you need them to be depending on thickness and size of twists. Then you can easily take them out at any time and redo or move to the next style. Overall there plenty pros to using this and I just wish I started sooner. I first figured this out around this time last year after cornrowing for so long. I had taken a break from wigs to try other styles and wanted to do a half up half down with a half wig and ponytail combo. I blow dryed and twisted my hair down for the half wig section and it definitely surprised me how flat it was for the style. I think more people should give it a try to see what works best for their texture and help enlighten them about their hair so they don’t feel as limited. It really is so much that can be done with all textures of hair. I love it. May we forever continue to discover, embrace, and uplift the innovation that comes with the beauty that we all behold. It is truly an art form.
I loveeee your personality lol I feel like we are real friends ,❤️❤️ you are amazing my love and never forget that.
that’s cause we are real friends 😊🤍🤍 thank you so much 🤍🤍
period sis that 100K is coming
p e r i o d you see the vision 🤩
Did not want to braid my hair today for my wig install so haha baybayyyyy thank you for this video I had the idea and typed in braid hair for wig and this the first video that popped up what a life saver thanks babe
You’re hilarious and uplifting. I enjoy your content!
i recently was diagnosed with a form of alopecia and i’m trying to avoid shaving my head until it all falls out. this was super helpful thank you so much
I never thought of this I cut my hair because it was so hard to braid it myself.
Thank you !
Glad I could help!
You were on point lol with the different attitude changes when you have your nails done vs not havin them done 💅🏽
def brings out a different side lol
Thank you for this! I noticed that as I have gotten older, my hair breaks badly in cornrows or braids. Twist are much gentler for my edges. I just didn’t know if I could get away with it under a wig. Thank you!
you're welcome!!
Instant follow off the fact that this was exactly what I needed 🥰
Great advice and tutorial! Thank you so much 💖
you’re welcome 🤍
Willie
Thank you. I will be doing flat twist from now on. And thanks thanks thanks on showing me how to do the back of the twists since my hair is very long and there is always a bump at the back of my head when I wear short wigs.
I just surfed into your page from a search for how to braid down hair for wigs. You asked “are you watching my page and have not subscribed. I laughed so hard cause that was me. I am definitely subscribing. I use that leave my hair alone principal too. Cause our hair does it’s own thing we just have to nurture it and love. Glad your page came up.
LOL i’m glad to have you here 🤍☺️
Absolutely! I’ve always done these
Girl!!! Thank you for the tips. Clicked for the info, stayed for the vibe. So funny and relatable. Hey friend!!
heyyy welcome to my channel friend 😊
Thank you love!!! I can box braid but to the scalp just always leads to frustration 😆 I knew there was a way to bypass it! Thanks again hunn🔥🔥
you’re welcome 🤍🤍
Your skin is flawless, BEAUTIFUL!!
thank you 😊
This is giving me the option to do two strand twist under my wigs. I find that it breaks more with the braids . I did it once before and my hair grew so nicely under my wigs. Time for me to go back doing the twists again. Thanks so much for this tutorial!😊
Thank you for this!! I will forever use this method instead of cornrows!
🙏🏾
I feel so happy to have found you!!! and you only had 200 subscribers at the time.. i'm here now at over 7k!!!! yasssssss 🥰🥰🥰
As someone who can’t cornrow to save my life, you just saved me so much stress. I kept thinking I had to eh able to in order to put this wig on 😭
lol no you can do this! glad i could help ☺️
I agree when you wear wigs or protective style your hair grows like crazy. My hair is down to my back due to this. Great tutorial
right! thank you 🙏
those twists look great as a hair style on their own 💗
you think so? 🧐
@@SheroiTaylor yes!!! It looks cute and you’re already gorgeous
@@yirap.9774 thank you lovely 🥺🤍
Also you can take the flat twists down & will be a cute twist out😁
I just started doing this 2 months ago. Flat twist are the best for me!
I braid better than I flat twist. But I definitely see where you are going and when my hair grows out I’ll try this.
New Subbie!!! I have ccca alopecia, so bringing the wigs back for fall and winter and I always have trouble with hair care under the wigs if my niece can’t cornrow it for me. Looking forward to trying the twists.
oouuu let me know how the twists work for you 👀
Your hair looks so soft and healthy I’m jealous 😩💕
thank you!! but don’t be 😭 check out some of my other videos about what i put in my hair!!
@@SheroiTaylor of course🥰
I agree!!! I can only flat twist but I like it better.
This is so much better than cornrows! I cannot cornrow for the life of me and when I have some else do them it’s always too tight. This is a life saver my wig life as I let my natural hair grow out. ❤
You have me laughing 😂 I am definitely following you girl
First timer, and you definitely started my day with a smile. Thank you and I have subscribed...
thank you 😊 welcome to my channel
Great idea, I do both, but never really thought of the twist being a better option, but it is. And the braids hurt sometimes. Thank you
team flat twist!
Your natural hair looks great, full, waved on a side, and beautiful just out of a bun!
thank you lovely 🤍
Yesss waaay better than braids and waaay less time!! Thank you beautiful.
thank you for watching! 😁
So glad you said the shot the nails.. SIS!!!

Thanks I always have preferred flat twists to cornrows.
same tbh
Thanks so much!! Found this video on accident and it’s about to change my life!!!! You don’t even know girl!! God is good
Listen! Thank you for informing me of flat twist over braids under a wig. Having 4c hair, I love flat twist and 2 strand twist
you’re welcome! as a 4c girly myself, i get it lol
So funny Ma! I love watching you. Educational and hilarious!
thank you 😌
I'm about to wear my 1st lace front & I won't have time to braid my hair so this looks like a good alternative
