    I have a lot of videos regarding mini twists, but unfortunately, they still don't cover everything you guys want to know! So I decided to make this video to answer, through demonstration, some of your most frequently asked questions regarding installing, maintaining, and caring for "Mini Twists". Some topics include:
    1) How to avoid frizzy Mini Twists
    2) How to avoid unraveling of Mini Twists and make them last
    3) How to control your Mini Twists and get them to lay flat
    4) How to Avoid Single Strand Knots on Mini Twists
    So I hope this helps!

    I'm twisting my hair right now, your previous mini twists inspired me to do so. Your hair has GROWN!!!

  • @BeautyIAm7
    @BeautyIAm7 12 років тому +2

    Thanks for the twisting tip :D I had no idea the way I was twisting is the reason why my twists were frizzy. I will definitely try your technique next week! Again thank you!

    @tequilashots875 10 років тому +14

    Thank you so much for this video. The tight twist technique is a lifesaver for my hair. I always wondered why my twists didn't last and always unraveled in the middle of the twist so soon. I believe this technique will allow me to wear my twists longer. Your hair is beautiful.

  • @LLTization
    @LLTization 12 років тому +1

    Thank you! The TWIST IN PLACE idea was eye opening. I was always in a rush to finish so did pull down to "get it done already!" No mini-twists but my medium twists look so much better!

  • @jesussofly
    @jesussofly 9 років тому +15

    ***** Naptural85 I did your technique on my mini twists and I'm going on my 5th week and people are telling me how good my twists looks and some thought I just got them done. Thanks for sharing!!!!

  • @karmatrini
    @karmatrini 12 років тому

    I totally twist like that, but I never knew how to explain it to people if I was typing on the internet, of how I get my twists mini and regular to be so tight. I always had to show in person. You're so awesome!!!

  • @Diamonddusted68
    @Diamonddusted68 12 років тому +2

    I'm in love with my mini twists and it's thanks to you. I'd never dread my hair. And mini twists are the next best thing. People stare at my hair all the time. Cause up close they realize it's not dreads but twists.

  • @petitereina
    @petitereina 12 років тому

    Omg the keeping your hands on place while you twist is so what is going to help me combat THE FRIZZIES! Thanks ever so much.

  • @Stephaniealicianaturalhair
    @Stephaniealicianaturalhair 12 років тому

    Wow! Thank you for the tips. You are so right about being careful and not being lazy. I remember when I put mini twists in my hair last July for the first two to three hours I did them tight and small then I grew tired and made them bigger. There was a noticeable difference too in the ones that were tight as oppose to the ones I rushed and did. I will remember your tips the next time I put mini twists in my hair. Thank you so much for the tips Whitney. I wish there was a love button:)

  • @churchnazi1
    @churchnazi1 12 років тому

    Fabulous tip. It's more clear to me with the twisting technique because I've always move my hands down just to finish. Patience is a virtue.

    I love your directions! Because of you, I did my mini twists while out on maternity leave and they lasted 8 weeks!!!! I got so many compliments, even though my hair needed a shampoo, but I will do this again and again....it took my 4 and a half days to complete!

  • @Chantellejeane
    @Chantellejeane 12 років тому

  • @BeaunaturelleFeb11
    @BeaunaturelleFeb11 12 років тому

    Whitney thank you SO much for your twisting "tightly" tip, and the 2 demonstrations. I have been mini-twisting for 7mths now (leaving them in for a month at a time), and found that my hair does exactly what yours did in the first demo, puffs up with little frizzies. So i can't wait to try this new method when my 4wks is up next wk. Thanks so much again, you're a Godsend.

  • @RestRenewRebuild
    @RestRenewRebuild 12 років тому +1

    Thank you for the breakdown of how to do the twists. BIG difference! I still have a twa, but looking forward to being able to do this!

  • @ashajeanbaptiste
    @ashajeanbaptiste 12 років тому

  • @Kazz_03
    @Kazz_03 12 років тому

    I sort of applied this method to my starter locs (they're coils instead of twists) and it works great. Normally they'd unravel a lot the moment I let go but not this time. Thanks for this vid!

  • @litchelle
    @litchelle 12 років тому

    I think i've watched you in the past and attempted 2 strand twist because of you earlier this year and I loved it. I did mine on wet hair with blended beauty product, no gel and the 1st set lasted 4 wks. The 2nd attempt had a very hard time lasting 2 wks and because of this video I have to admit THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME...I got lazy, hands tired and I just wanted to finish, but didn't enjoy the 2nd attempt as the 1st. Now after your explaination...I think my 3rd attempt will be good.

  • @GaDiva769
    @GaDiva769 12 років тому

    Wow!! Thank you, I now realize why there's inconsistency in my toddler's twists when I do them. Thanks so much for your tutorials. You are a blessing and I pray that you are blessed in the same way that you bless others. Hugs :)

  • @quoyiab
    @quoyiab 12 років тому

    Oh how I wish I would have watched this yesterday before I did mini twists. I noticed that I have a lot of lazy twists. I saw one of your videos saying to stay on top of the twists and let your hands move down naturally. I did that for the most part, until I started getting lazy. Wonderful tips, thanks for sharing

  • @Paintedmyst75

  • @lakishatoussaint
    @lakishatoussaint 12 років тому +1

    This is great. I had my medium twists in for two weeks then broke them down into smaller and then once more. And left it that way for two weeks. total of six weeks and I'm going to use your tips to keep them from being so frizzy. :-) And Whit... I LOVE your channel! Thanks hun.

  • @polarBEAR819
    @polarBEAR819 12 років тому

    I love watching your videos Whitney!! You're so very descriptive and informative! When I put in my mini-twist for the first time I was doing exactly what you said not to do. They didn't last for very long. I'll definitely try it this way when I have the patients to do them again. Thanks again for your awesome videos!! Take care!! :D

  • @TiffanyPark
    @TiffanyPark 11 років тому

    Hi Nap! I think you are using rope twist which i use. This is nice because,as you pointed out, it keeps the hair tight and it doesn't unravel too easily.
