I really appreciate your honesty on the longevity of your twists. I feel like so many people pretend they last longer than they do 😅
The little screams at the beginning....GURL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
They had me dying 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Jess, I have my mini twists in for 6 days now and they're still perfect.
I don't do too many styles to it. I let it be without a pony tail. And in day five I wet it fully in the shower and they bounced back to life. I then re moisturise it and let it air dry. The secret is to not over manipulate it.
How do you shape them in the mornings after sleeping
This is sooo trueeee
@@ifunanyaamanda6316 I mostly use my hands through them or on a day I'm feeling them I put it up in any style of my choice
That wild growth is truth.... it’s a reason they keep it behind counter at beauty supply store lol
Okay!? Got me sounding greedy like “yes can I have 4 of those please... yes 4, thank you” 😂
@@OnlyOneJess I've noticed some sort of controversy surrounding the ingredients of the wild growth hair oil as it seems to have 2 different formulas. Which one did you use?
@@__d3sire there are 2 types,the white one is for hair growth and the yellow is for moisturizing so depending on what you are going for but its great to have these two around
Ikr 😆
This must be why CVS locks up Got2B glue spray now 💀
I realized that the smaller you do them, the longer they last. I usually keep mines in for 4-5 weeks
If I do mine any smaller these gon be sister Locs 😭😂
The sounds effects are sending me off a cliff 🤣🤣 the screamiinngg lmaooo anytime I've done them.. it's at that one week mark it's either a bun or pinned style because it just looks rough SO fast 🤦🏾♀️
😂😂😂😂 Yea I had to throw them hairstyles in on day 3 I was like what the hale going on here! 😂
I'll be feeling fly in my mini twists on the first day but 5 days later, they'll be looking like Grinch fingers. My hair be doing me dirty most times. 😒
Nobody does us dirtier than our own hair 😂
When I say I laughed so hard I almost pee’d 😂😂😂😂😂
i have mini twists in now and when they start to look a little old after week one, i just wet my hair and add a veryyy small amount of leave in to my hair in sections. then when i feel like it looks juicy and moisturized again, i'll spray some mousse on top and then wrap my head with a scarf to lay any fly aways down. that works like a charm for me and doesn't require any re-twisting!
That's so true,water is so so good for our twists! I bounced back so beautifully
Same, I use a lot of mousse though and it'll make my hair a lot less stiff
You’re a life saver! My hair was looking limpy on day 7 and your suggestion of water, leave in and mousse trick worked!! Thank you!! 🥰💯💯💯🙌🏽
Yup, my mini twist looks like this at the end of each week. After working out every day, I have to remove, wash, conditioner and re-do
Whew that’s so much work but at least during the week you don’t have to be bothered with it so that works out pretty well
You certainly have a lot of patience.
The ONLY reason I’m not taking these out is because they took sooooo long 😂😫🥴
*felt that
Felt
PERIODDDDDD 😂 ima make these last an extra week idc idc idc lol
It’s the background scream for me 😂😂
I have mini twists too. I sleep with a satin scarf while my twist are flat on my head and tie it tight. Then out a bonnet on top. Works like a charm and twists last weeks. The key is to sleep with your twists flat in your head and not in an updo. Then you can put it back up the next day.
I just did my mini twists too!! When sleeping flat have your twists smushed at all?
shaq b you have to stretch them around your head with bobby pins. kind of like wrapping them but in the direction of how you want them to lay. in the morning when you take them down, they’ll be neat, less frizzy, and you’ll have a little extra hang time.
I’m here for all the suggestions! Thanks :)
I found that when doing mini twist the easiest way to do them is to rope twist the hair. Basically twist the strands the opposite way them twist them together. I've been doing it this way for a month now. I can definitely say detangling the twist after take down is much easier. I can wet my hair with the twist in and it doesn't get fuzzy.
This is so true. Rope twists last so much longer. My sister is a super lazy natural. The last time I put twists in her hair she had them in for about a month or more. She didn't expect to her them that long, but the rope twists just lasted. Now I've taught her. Lol
Me too my twists only last a week and I thought may be it was just only me but seeing you having the same issue I feel relieved
Next time braid the roots about an inch and twist the rest of the way down. It's alot of work but it lasts longer 😅
and always stretch them before bed so they wont shrink. I used to do the band method
Yes "Plat"aka braid thema little in the beginning... that's what I was thinking
My mini twists bounce back to life when I full-on wet them.
I love the cute-almost locs-style it gives when remoisturized.
Lmaooo just the title has me cracking up
Me too 😂😂😂
These twists played me 😂
OnlyOneJess it seems so lol but jess do you oil your scalp every day? And use your scalp massager when you do. Like what’s your schedule with that?
Her twists said “aight imma fuh witchu👋🏾” lmao
Much love jessss💕
😂
😂😂😂😂😂
The mini screams as she shows the unraveled twists 😂😂
Your twists made me grab a bottle of water lol my throat felt dry!
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yooo 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
damn 😂😂😂💀💀
I am deadddd 😂😂😂
This is me EVERY SINGLE TIME I do mini twists. I dunno how anyone keeps them in for a month. That's crazy to me
Mine usually last 2 weeks. When they start to mess up, I just redo some of the ones in the front lol.
Edge control on my mini twists CHANGED MY LIFE!! I can go for weeks now without touching them!
Do you use it in the whole strand or just the roots?
@@Gabriellaella23 Start an inch away from the root and extra on the ends😊
Girl. Mini twists last 4 days max in my hair before they unravel even with a scarf. I’m convinced nobody wants to tell the truth about it like you mentioned lol.
I’m saying like I can’t be the only one 😂
I definitely think it varies with hair texture. My twists last well over a month but my hair is coarse/nappy whatever you want to call it. I literally think with water and grease or Vaseline I’d be good. I can sleep without a bonnet or scarf at night...I’m still good. They won’t come undone and it’s probably because of my texture-I’m guessing. My hair is always in two strand twists or mini twists....I don’t wear twist outs. It’s the only style I know how to do.
@@JessicaSmith-ie7cm yess type 4 coarse hair be looking so good in braids and twists last longer, even with box braids after 3 weeks my hair is fuzzy , the ends are out
I love mini twists....i braid the first 1/2 inch then twist the rest.....lasts 4 -6 weeks. I Bantu knot them once weekly. I wash and deep condition them in jumbo plaited sections. Loose the section...LOC or LCO them then replait the jumbo section. Let them dry overnight. Pull sections mist and style.
I love that you were honest enough to post this. Also it is awesome that you posted how to remedy this situation 👍🏿
Thank you!! ☺️☺️
This how my twist be looking, that’s why I always talk myself out of doing them lol
So glad you did this! My twists looked the same and I thought I did something wrong but clearly this is a thing!!! Thanks Jess 🥰
I've followed a few ladies with 4C hair, and I feel your hair is the closest to my hair texture and length. I have totally felt your pain especially when you had to cut your hair because I recently had to cut a lot off, but it was needed. From all of the other girls I've followed, I feel that the information and tips that you suggest are a true life saver and works for my hair the best.
I did the mini twists, and I definitely had to refresh them within in the week. Within a few days, my hair looked like I had not done my hair at, lol. So I definitely understand where you're coming from. But they're a great protective style and I will continue to do them.
P.s. I braid it a little bit at the roots then twist which I felt made them last a little longer.
For my twists, I band them at night and then wear a scarf instead of a bonnet. In the morning I just spritz with a little water, shake and go. That helps my twist stay for weeks. If you aren’t going anywhere just leave them banded until you gonna wear them down.
You honestly crack me up 😂 your struggles and commentary are so relatable omg
Girl I am so glad to hear you say that your twist lasted a week because mines never last long so thank you for your honesty. But your twist in the back looks good.👍🏼
You are my hair twin! Thanks for the inspiring videos. I've been contemplating doing a big chop and you're giving me the courage to do it!
i've had my hair in mini twists almost the entire quarantine and i feel like leading into that second week is always the roughest lol. also, for moisture i just let the steam get to mine in the shower. do a lil shake and then seal as soon as i get out
Yasss to the steam and sealing afterwards.
You deal with an oil after you let the steam hit your hair in the shower ? Also how often do you do this ?
you should try spraying your hair with water every night of your havent been! i know you dont like the shrinkage but it helps the twist solidify which will keep them from falling apart 😊
I do medium sized twists, but I keep them in for 2 weeks and retwist to refresh them around week 1. I do sleep with a satin scarf and I don’t put them in a pony tail. Twists are a great way to grow your hair back. Good luck!!
I think you should try flaxseed gel to coil your ends and they won't unravel, then the twists will last longer. Happy retwisting! I also spray water, add leave in conditioner and seal with an oil every 3 days. It works!
I’m new to mini-twists and taking notes of all these great tips! Thank you! I’m going to do this moving forward.
“I don’t understand the whole twist is gone! Are they suppose to be goddess twists?”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great. I got my lazy self to do some mini twists not too long ago. I usually keep my twists in for a week, because how they will look.
A tip: I started doing the banding method with elastic hair ties on my twists to keep it stretch and also maintain the shape. I part my twists either in three (two in front and one in the back) or in four (two in front and two in the back). This prevents unnecessary shrinkage and the shape of the twists return in minutes after release.
Thank you for sharing because I seriously thought I was the only one experiencing this. I workout 5-6 times per week and believe that contributes to it. This week I plan to attempt to keep my hair tied down for at least an hour after the workout to see if that helps. I've tried different products, techniques, adjusted the size so we'll see how it goes.
My hair does that too. The best thing that helped me was using rubber bands kinda like a bunch of mini ponytails. It seems like a lot but my roots stay laid down and it helps me
As I notice the eyelash coming off, Jess makes the disclaimer 😂😂 i friggin love her
Listen!!! That Wild Growth Hair Oil is LIFE and LIFE more abundantly! When I did the big chop 3 years ago, it most definitely did the trick for me. I started with a TWA and now my hair is down to my shoulders
Those screams 🤣🤣. Jess always be coming with the comedy. ❤️
I stand by Wild Growth oil as well. I feel like it really helped with growing my hair back .
I am cryinggg at me noticing your eyelashes coming off right when you were about to mention them LMAO
I guess i need to go ahead and refresh my front too. I've been so bored i took some of the mini twists and practiced 3 stand twisting. It'll be interesting to see how it looks when i unravel them this weekend
I redo mine every two weeks n I love them ☺️
Those screams regarding your unraveled twists. I am Bussin’ up!!😆
Hey girl!! What I tend to do sometimes when I have mini twists in, is put them in flat twists or bantu knots to make them curllyyy! It looks great! Just another alternative if you wanna maximize the style 😁😁 Also I just recently bought the Wild Growth oil!!
I have locs, but I loooovvveee your channel because your personality is so awesome.
That screaming was killing me 🤣😂I work nights and it's quiet as hell. Got me jumping and looking crazy lolol. I agree with using gel to hold the twist, which also prevents them from unraveling. I never use gel for my locs because that slows the loc'ing process down. Which is perfect for mini twist cause you don't want them to loc.
Hey Jess, I usually put in a few hairpins to help keep them in place, under my bonnet.
WOW! Lol I’m glad that you at least has the intention to keep them two weeks. They came out really good afterwards
I love how real you are, bringing knowledge and entertainment! 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
Wave dah flag brave girrll🇹🇹🇹🇹
Thank you!!! ☺️☺️☺️
After lots of trial and error I have found the doing a little bit of a braid near your scalp then moving into twists help the twists last longer. And less puffiness at the roots
Neither did mine.
First day was so hawt, second day was afro & day 3 was like your intro. Lmao
Lol. It happens. I’ve had mine for a week too. Looking a little on the messier side but I do work out 2x a day and sweat a lot. One of the reasons I put the twists in. They’re very convenient though! I’m going for 2 weeks too. Fingers crossed 🤞🏾
so i dont know how you feel about using beeswax. ECO has a great one with black castor oil and flaxseed oil, i use it on my daughter and i hair when i do twist and it helps them stay twisted for weeks. my daughter be wilding with her hair doing flips and rolling in the DIRT and they stay twisted. i make sure to put it only on her hair and only oil her scalp every two weeks we only use sulfate shampoo so i dont have to worry about build up and any problems. just a suggestion. Love ya! ;)
jdc1lovelylady thank you I haven’t used beeswax since I was relaxed some years ago. I forgot how well it works. I will try it. It will definitely hold the strands together for a while and keep the twist fresh looking.
Hmmm... I’m not opposed to it, it’s better than spending 5 hours just for my twists to unravel in a week lol love you too!
@@OnlyOneJess true lol
Omg that is genius! I’ve never used gel on the length of my hair, just on the ends and edges so idk how my hair would respond. Im def gonna give it a try though, thanks!
OnlyOneJess make sure that you use a good shampoo and not conditioner to remove that wax. Heavily moisturize your hair before putting the wax on because it’s going to lock it in. 😊
It’s the little screams in the beginning for me! Lol! Girl I’m about to do this style and we have the exact same type hair thanks for giving me the 401 of what to expect after a week (not looking fwd to it) but I still want to do these fire mini twist!!😍
When you showed the wild grow, I turned my nose up with the quickness lol. The smell of it is why I stopped using it. I may need to start back tho. I just wish it smelled better cuz lawd 😩
It’s the WORSTTTTTT. But I do think it’s helping a lot.
lmao i like the smell 🥺 it's like a strong herbal tea
Chunky wearable twists are the way the go. Braid at the root. They last a week and I can take it down in about 30 min to be a twistout. Only takes about an hour compared to 4 hours+ for mini twists. And I don't feel bad and exhausted to retwist them again on wash day.
I hope these hold on mines and I’m glad somebody with short hair did these I was a little hesitant at first smh but ima gon head and see how these look on me
Go for it sis! Just be prepared to have goddess locks in like 4 days lol
Girl! I just started going mini twists aswell and my twists look like trash after 1 week too 😩 my roots look like they're 4 weeks old after 1 week. I really thought I was doing something wrong because I'm watching all these vids of people saying the leave them on for 4 weeks but mine barely last a week 🤦🏾♀️
My hair texture is similar. I found braiding the root helps me with unraveling. I'm sure you making it work!
Girl the Wild growth is everything. I have been using both the white bottle and the yellow bottle. Yea u are right the smell is something else. But if you want results that is the product to use. #wildgrowth
mini twists were my favorite. tbh, hair texture plays a big part in whether they'll last or not
Girl I'm in the same situation with my twists chileee they have to wait till Saturday my twists never last a week😩anyway be safe love ya as per usual ❤️
I’m reallyyyyy trying to get them t two werks but it’s looking rough for me 😂 thank you loveeeee
Can I just say I was waiting for you to upload. Girrrlllll I’m here for everything u bring.
This was my experience as well. I feel like doing small braids lasts longer for me. When I do mini twists they get hella frizzy automatically. 🤦🏽♀️
Firs of all, I love you lol second mini braids might have to be the move next time because I heard they last longer has well :)
OnlyOneJess But why am I soooo hyped right now 😂 The simple things that make me happy. I commented this on another video. Stay true to who you are because your personality is refreshing and it’s EVERYTHING......
I've done 2 strand twists on quite a few people and they've lasted a week or more til they've come back for a new do. Even after separating them but. That's life
You did a great job, loved both videos!
Ok I’m definitely going to do some mini twists when I get the energy to 😂
She's so adorbs😍😍😍
I have mini twist in right now and it’s almost been a month and mines still look pretty good. It’s my go to style when I get lazy with my hair.🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
I feel you my twist never last more than a week , after one week they're frizzy and i have to take them down
We have basically the same length and type hair. I don’t even make parts lol. I just section my hair in 4 and use my fingers to break small pieces to do the twists. I don’t use anything that will make my hair revert but unlike what you did I add a dabble of product on each piece as I’m about to twist it. I spray a mixture of leave-in, water and my concoction of oils on it every day to refresh them and oil my edges and nape. I oil my scalp every other day. They last me two weeks. Then I rinse and repeat lol. It does take a long time to do but it’s worth it cause you don’t have to do anything but refresh, shake and go. Hope that helped lol
I laughed when I seen the notification pop up...Jess I had zero faith in you to keep this hairstyle in longer than 4 days lol and the screaming sound effect had me in tears you play entirely too much 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
LOLLLL sis I’m tryna keep these in longer come on have faith in ya girl 😂
Noooo, the scream effects 🤣😭😭😭
I might be alone in saying this but, I like when twist look older. I would go for the mini rope twists if you're looking for them to last longer. You twist your hair up slightly differently with this style of twist. Also, is bed of a satin cap where a satin scarf or du rag.
well, i mean, at least they aren’t getting completely taken down🤷🏾♀️
It’s a start lol
I mini twist my hair all the time. I find they hold better if you do them on wet hair with flax seed gel. I get close to them bottom and use my natural curl to hold the ends together Then I let them air dry. At night I use the banding method under my head scarf. My twists can last for week and a half before I redo some of them.
I struggled w/mine sooo bad. The trick for me was to make BIGGER twists, braid the root 4-6 times b4 twisting, blue magic & shine n jam on my strands, & I kinda wrap my hair @ night as if I had a blow out. Bobby puns help me keep it flat.
I use this oil on my baby hair because she went bald...and babyyyyyy that stuff works! I don't like the way it smells but screw that my daughter was balding
Castor oil?

When i saw jess do hers i immediately went an did mine because jess own looked sooooo good. Mine lasts about 3 days an it looks like a ras. But i still have it in.
I love your videos! Beautiful sis❤️❤️❤️
Hey jess lollol I'm dying laughing cause when i do mini twist my hair be looking the same way after aweek...and yea wild growth is the truth
I also have twist done a few days ago....it dont last long either. Maybe bad sleeping habit although i wear a a headtie and satin bonnet...I still try to keep them fresh by redoing it. I want it to last atleast 2 weeks. It depends on hairtype as well....the softer the hair the easier it will come out.
You're giving me motivation to do mini twists 🤔😍
You are the reason I am smiling today
They look so good on you babes😊
Girl you are funny with that scream😂😂
The screams Jess I cannot 😂😂😭😭😭 literally how my finger coils were just looking stressed me out 😖
The next time you try this style try applying a conditioning and moisturizing edge control it keeps them shiny and in place
Lol I've been doing mini twists since my big chop I couldn't even tell you the best product to use except that would help last it for weeks except the curl gel you used actually...I stopped using it because I wanted a cheaper alternative but I may go back to it! Twists does help retain your length well though. Looks good though!
oath Jess was chilled with this whole situation. if a style that took hours to complete starts acting up 1 week l8r, I wild out
I keep mine in 4-6 weeks. Mane choice orchid gel....seals the deal🙌🏾
jess skin is flawless
Aw thank youuuu
Mines do the exact same thing. I normally add a little gel on the ends to add extra hold.
oouu good tip! some of mine unraveled the same day that i did this LOL im done.
I cracked up when you said “is this suppose to be goddess mini twist?” 😂
The sound effects on your videos have me rolling!!
