Because my hair is fine, my twists looked scalpy and flat....your parting technique is just what I needed...my twists are now full and on point..thx sis...
I love your parting technique! I think this will be a fabulous process for thinner natural hair to make it appear more full. I can't wait to give this a try on me & my daughter's when we finish with the yarn twist/braids. Thank you so much for sharing this!
So I tried this on a client of mine with fine hair and it does work so much better to fill out the hair, and I just finish my set of minitwists and it was not as difficult to keep up with as I thought it would be. I really like using this method. Thanks!!
LOL 6:06 that feeling you get when you've been waiting HOURS for your hair to be done, and you look in the mirror and realize there's just one more row to go.
Best video I have ever seen on 2strand twist. My hair coils up in all directions after twisting. laying them flat and having them move has always been a mystery to me. cant wait to give this a try.
I'm a believer that this low manipulation styling avoids breakage and lets you keep your growth--which will show length in as minimum as 3 months! I love to do two strand twists and leave them in for 2 months. I see lots of growth.
Really cleverly, patiently and professionally done. It must feel totally lovely sitting down having hair done by you cos you just know the result will be stunning! Hope your well :)
somehow found this a decade later and im so glad that I did. I have 4c hair and have been trying to figure out how to make my twists look fuller since I was 14 & just began braiding my own hair. 2 years later I finally found a video that is perfect for making my thin hair not look so separated when I braid it. thank you
OMG I love this process. I have very fine hair and thought I would never ever be able to wear mini twist with my natural hair. well I tried your technique this past week end and my hair came out so nice I am in love with my mini twists. THANKS SOOO MUCH :-)
Thanks for the Love Mrslewellen! I appreciate the feedback. I try techniques on about 4 different heads of hair, just to see if the results are consistent b4 I even put it to video. Nice to know there's a 5th (or even more thanks to the comments on here) head of hair that this works for.
Thanks for sharing your "secrets" to a great mini twistout...I had been doing them for years but they were always really skinny and flat on my head. This helped me address some of my issues. Keep the vids coming, their much appreciated!
This video was extremely helpful. Due to severe carpal tunnel, I am unable to do my own hair so I'm trying to find someone in my area that can hook-up my hair like you did this lady. Fabulous job!
you did a great job on her hair.. and i love that technique of parting in angles to make the hair fuller.. Im just wait on my TWA to grow .. so i can give this a try.. Thank you for all the wonderful and helpful videos oxox
I just found your channel and I am in awe of the amount of info I have learned from you in just a couple of videos. I plan to watch every one of them 😊 Thanks
She will LOVE it. I do it on Dimples hair throughout the school year and we both love it (I love the freedom--b/c she gets up in the morning and ponytails her own hair).
Amazing. I would love to try that on my hair, its almost the lenght of her's. I'm going to check out the blog. I just don't want to think about how long its going to take. God bless your hands girl, keep the teaching going. Peace Angeli
I'm currently rocking the spacy-look so I'm so glad u did this vid. Whenever I do my twists I always pin them up cuz I hate this spacy look. I will definately b upgrading on my next wash. Thank u so much 4 the tip!
I mixed up my favorite conditioner/oil/water mix for her. She's going to spray her ends as needed. She's keeping them in for 2 weeks, so she should be fine. If she has to wash, she's only going to co-wash (no shampoo). and then oil her scalp. I'm following this regimen and my hair is very soft, moisturized and it doesn't tangle.
thank you so much for this professional and well informative video. I am planning to loc my hair, i am definitely going to use thit technique. thank you so much.
Thanks sooooo much for this tut.....I ran across your page yesterday(I also subbed) looking up mini twists and I've seen numerous other videos before, but was never inspired to do them, but your's really helped me, so I spent 3 hours this morning doing them, & I LOVE IT!!!!!!!....Thanks again lovely!!! You are an inspiration.....I will be posting a video response on My 1st Mini Twist, just so that you can see how they turned out....Thanks again!!!!
I make the conditioner mix so much for Dimple's hair that I just throw things in a bottle LOL. You want it milkshake consistency--the kind that moves a little ;o) If you put 1ounce of conditioner, put about 1/2 ounce water and 2 tablespoons of oil. That soulds about right. That's the mix I sent her with to moisturize her ends. Thanks for the message beautiful.
Tell ya best/friend sister to stop worrying about length - we get too caught up in that....... She is gorgeous her current length! Just enjoy the here and now. Tomorrow it'll be another length and another adventure. And YOU.... Just keep doing whatcha do! You's da Bestest!!! :)
I can't wait to try this technique... I have very fine hair so I think this will help it look a little fuller... I hope... I am now a Subscriber... I watched several of your videos today and I must say i am definitely going to try your tips...
Thanks so much for this video. This is the best video I've seen on the best method of doing mini twists. I have some in now and it looks rather scalpy and skinny, Of course I did it on blow dried hair (comb attachment) and I didn't "stack" the partings. These are some good tips. I will incorporate them the next time I try.
Loved this in-depth look at the stacking technique. I just did my first set and tried to offset the direction but it ended up sort of scalpy :/ Heading to the blog for more info and I may just re-do a few areas. Much love, Tia! You and Angel look so beautiful!
You have inspired me to try twist again. I wore it last year, but my hair was shorter and I never stretched it. Many people said I looked like a lesbian smh, so I've been weaved up ever since. My hair is her length now, so I'm going to give them another go.
Aww she look so pretty with this style,I just did my" big chop" after transitioning for six months, when I get a little more length I will try this style :-)
Thank you thank you THANK YOU! Finally someone has posted a video on how to part your hair and prevent the scalpy look! Your vidoe was very informative and so detailed. I also visited the link to read more info and tips. Yayy I want to try twists this weekend. I always have the scalpy look issue so I can't wait to try this. Thanks again! :-) For reals.
Thanks Doll :o) I gave her some Eden Body Works Tea Tree Conditioner in a bottle mixed with some water and oil. Had her spritz that as needed. Her hair took me about 4 hours (with lunch mixed in there somewhere LOL). Thanks for the message!
thAnks for this.see i have trouble parting in a stacked way..im used to the spacey way which i dont like. i have to see the blog cuz i wanna get this down packed. i think its the only thing stopping me from having what i wd call perfect twists or braids. both u girls hair look awesome!!
I used human hair extensions, and I kept them in for about 2 months (moisturizing as needed or daily). They come out really easy. Get whoever puts them in for you to show you how to take them down.
Wow, this was beautiful. Thanks for the tips, I dont know if I can do this on my own hair but I will try. I know I can do the twist but dont think I can get all the parts slanted.
Thanks Love :o) She's my best friend/sister --and you're right she's extremely spunky and crazy fun LOL! She's given me "full reign" on her natural hair, so I'll be posting more videos with her (she's got some twists with extensions in now).
Yep, your hair can definitely do nice twists. I've been doing twists from the beginning of my all natural length (about 5''). I even did a nice set during transition!
Hey Girl! I thought I had watched all of your videos. Then you "popped" out of this one, I was surprised. I'm going to try it, but it looks difficult. Good info, as usual. Thanks.
He Love! I did braids/twists on my transitioning hair. They can be done on relaxed hair too. There's a technique (I laid it out on my blog---will put a link up in the description box later). Ideally, it stays best on natural hair b/c the natural texture holds it and keeps it from unraveling.
I use mirrors to part, but within that parted section I just pull with my fingers. You twist in the direction you want your twist to fall. Most of the time, it will simply be twisting downward. Only when you get to the hairlin you might do some upwards and over twisted direction just so you have the option to flip your hair over to another side. But if that gets to be too much, you can just keep twisting downward. You can do it. Most important: part at a diagonal.
I cant' wait to try this techinque. It does create great fullness. I want to know how do you keep up with each section of angles when doing your own hair in the back. Doing them straight across helps me keep up with where I am! lol
I've been urging my friend to do these twists a long time ago (even at 4'' of hair). I think twists are beautiful on short length hair! And if I had the time, I would throw some perm rod rollers on her head for a nice "Hally Berry" cropped style once these got old. I think you should try these techniques. You can do it.
Thanks for the message Beautiful! I love to use Eden Body products to twist. I stay away from shea butter and use mostly oils. If you don't have that product in Italy (it's fairly new here)--just use a product with your favorite ingredients. I like to keep it all natural if possible. I use "As I Am co-wash product to co-wash my twists (I don't use shampoo the whole time I have my twists in--avoids knotting). Thanks for the love Italy.
LOL! Yeah, don't think about how long it takes. Just put on a movie or something. We talked so much that day, we didn't even notice the 3 or 4 hours it took. Thanks for the Love Angeli
Her hair looks wonderful! Thanks for the tips. I always have the spaceship effect going lol. I will definitely check out your blog post and use these tips in my next set of twists. Thank you so much! :-)
thank you for sharing I did mine before, and as you see on my video they came out cute however I get a lot of shrinkage. I was wondering about if I stretched it out first Im going to try this method thank you!!
I do have to put my head at a certain angle when I'm doing my own hair--just to get the back proper. It's hard yeah, but I find as my hair gets longer, it takes more time but it gets much easier to position the twists proper.
Thanks Love :o) The actual twists are pretty simple to figure out (just practice will make perfect lol!) So I didn't focus at all on the twisting process per se, mainly how to create the perfect texture, properly direct the parting for the hair to lay stacked and show as "full", and how to lay down the twists in the direction you want them to go. This may help to avoid the snakey, scalpy, thin twists that show out as problematic especially on shorter length hair.
I used Eden Body Work Tea Tree Hair milk to twist, but that's not what held her twists. Even though I blow dried, I didn't use the heat to get it straight. I kept most of her texture, and used the heat to swell the hair so that it would stay on it's own. This process doesn't work on every texture hair. Looser textured hair may not stay twisted. I like twists better only because the take-down is easier and my ends wrap up to a secure spiral vs. braids.
Sounds like a lot of hair to have a lot of fun with. You got lots of relaxed hair left? I have a technique on the blog for transitioning hair and two strand twists.
Hey! I was using the Eden body works products at the time of this video. I will definitely use that product line again to twist. Lots of good ingredients in that line (many oils). I don't know how much salons are charging for this, but it seems to be a lot. I looked online to price up getting the sides of my head cornrowed small--and the price was about $80.00!!! So I guess it depends. But a full head of twists can be pricey. Google your location 2 c local hair braider
Thanks Tia I'm definitely gonna try this. I have a feeling, because me hair is shorter (above the shoulder) I'm scared it wont look as great, but I will just have to find out :)
Because my hair is fine, my twists looked scalpy and flat....your parting technique is just what I needed...my twists are now full and on point..thx sis...
I love your parting technique! I think this will be a fabulous process for thinner natural hair to make it appear more full. I can't wait to give this a try on me & my daughter's when we finish with the yarn twist/braids. Thank you so much for sharing this!

Ricia Love so true
I am about to two-strand twist my own hair and I always watch this video before beginning. Your layering technique is really good. Thanks!!
i must agree! its on point! did mine and although i didnt follow exactly everything they came out great! now i will try and film a takedown video lol
Best video I have ever seen on 2strand twist. My hair coils up in all directions after twisting. laying them flat and having them move has always been a mystery to me. cant wait to give this a try.
The best tutorial for short and medium hair twists! You get it - minimum spaces, fullness and some stretch without needing to add extensions. Thanks!
I'm a believer that this low manipulation styling avoids breakage and lets you keep your growth--which will show length in as minimum as 3 months! I love to do two strand twists and leave them in for 2 months. I see lots of growth.
Honestly one of the BEST 2 strand twist I have seen.I will re-visit this on my hair this summer.Great job girl!
I'm going to start my locs with this technique! Thanks 😃
Really cleverly, patiently and professionally done. It must feel totally lovely sitting down having hair done by you cos you just know the result will be stunning! Hope your well :)

Her twists look beautiful! I was trying to decide what to do for the upcoming work week, now I know.
This was SUPER helpful. The client is a stunner too. So going to try this!
I love it! Thanks for showing that technique because I twisted my hair in straight lines and it was a waste of time. So I am going to try this.
Amazing. I would love to try that on my hair, its almost the lenght of her's. I'm going to check out the blog. I just don't want to think about how long its going to take. God bless your hands girl, keep the teaching going. Peace Angeli

This is so beautiful, you got so much length. I need to try this. Great Job.

Nice video. Twists are a nice style. Saves time during the week.

This is truly nice work! I will defiantly have to try this technique.
That was beautiful. I was considering adding hair to my twists, but after watching you, I don't think I need it.
Thank you for this tutorial!! I saw it and had to do it!!! I love it!! Took forever but its gorgeous!!!
Your hair model is Gorgeous! liked the twists too.
Wow, this was beautiful. Thanks for the tips, I dont know if I can do this on my own hair but I will try. I know I can do the twist but dont think I can get all the parts slanted.

Great video! I love the way you explained every step in detail. It made me want you to do my hair, lol

New subscriber 😁First time seeing the twist on this length of hair it's pretty 👍
That is beautiful. I'm gonna try this one more time and hopefully I get it to look full
Didn't think I would like this but it actually looks nice!
I use mirrors to part, but within that parted section I just pull with my fingers. You twist in the direction you want your twist to fall. Most of the time, it will simply be twisting downward.

Looks really good. Wish u could come & do my hair here in south Florida. Good technique not sure I could do it in myself
thank you for sharing I did mine before, and as you see on my video they came out cute however I get a lot of shrinkage. I was wondering about if I stretched it out first Im going to try this method thank you!!
I was looking for a video to help me do twists and I'm already your stubbie !
Awesome
I do have to put my head at a certain angle when I'm doing my own hair--just to get the back proper. It's hard yeah, but I find as my hair gets longer, it takes more time but it gets much easier to position the twists proper.

Awesome, I am still learning how to do my fairly new short hair.
Your hair is gorg and so is your model!
Great technique with great results...
That's so awesome! i would love to get my hair done like that.
WOW they are so nice & neat on both of you... very nice!
