I know that this is nothing new but its the first time I tried a flat twist so its a new revelation to me. Yes I know I'm late, blah blah blah... just sharing my experience. lol
okay this came out BEAUTIFUL!! and you said your first twist out but in your video you mention a regular twist out..whatchu mean?? lol ...i just subbed so i'll go back and watch your other vids for answers. oh btw what do u think of the sheamoisture coconut & hibiscus line? I use the curl enhancing smoothie AND curling gel souffle to set the flat twist, the souffle is not great by itself, very sticky. my style lasts for almost a week before re-twist
wow! I haven't tried the sheamoisture & hibiscus line yet. It may sound weird but I'm waiting for the hype to calm down lol. When I say regular two stand twist I mean the ones that are not cornrowed to your head, you know the ones that hang loose (am I making sense). Please correct me if they have different names. thank you for watching and for subbing. xx
Love this and love your voice/accent. I'm going to try this tonight, hopefully this is the one that works for my hair because I'm seriously tired of cyber stalking every natural hair twist out video! :)
Very cute! Thanks for the video! For the dryness, try flax gel. You can just make it with 2 TB flax seeds and a cup of water and boil it until desired thickness. Just strain it out with cheese cloth and refrigerate it for 1-2 weeks. I use my flax gel just as a nightly moisturizer, and I make mine somewhat runny for this reason. Your hair looks great!
I tried a flat two strand twist out this weekend before seeing this. Just randomly as I didn't think it would work, I only ever cornrow my hair in two for everyday or pony tail just to change it up. Well I must say I surprised myself, my curls were poppin', my hair black (yes there is some grey..lol) and glossy that I was complemented on it whilst out by a young man💞 Yes it takes a little time and I did get myself in a bit of a tangle as my hair is thick, though not as thick as yours which is gorg btw, that said it's nice to be able to explore other style options I only wish I could be more creative, but my you tube family keep me going so I will continue to watch all with a keen interest.
gemqueen1 its great when you surprise yourself! nothing wrong with grey, I think it looks great with natural hair. Most days I don't get time to be creative with my hair, but I try every now and then. In my next video you'll see that. thanks for watching. xx
Your hair is gorgeous and I'm loving that twist out. Thanks for showing us how to go about getting a great hair do. You've definitely gained a new subscriber 💜
I love this!!!!! Your hair looks beautiful. I have been natural for over 2yrs and have not tried a flat twist yet. I feel inspired......... Thanks for sharing
I have 4C hair because I can barely get a comb through it and my shrinkage is 90% when I see hair like yours its so hard to believe your hair is 4C the texture is completely different from mine. So I'm convinced that if your hair is 4C then mine is 5E.
Rayell Wilhite WOW! Enjoy your TWA while it lasts. Sometimes I miss having shorter hair because of its simplicity and manageability. I also love big hair hence why I haven't cut mine but thank you for watching.x
Ok I'm sitting here now trying to do flat twists! It had been on my mind to try them and your video was confirmation that I need to take the flat twist plunge, lol.
Thank you for sharing! I love that your fingers got a little stuck in your hair and that the flat twists were a little messy. Mine turn out the same way and I was getting a bit frustrated with myself because other vloggers I've viewed end up with such neat twists. I don't feel so bad now.
Wow! That style was as easy as piece of cake haha! I definitely enjoyed watching your vid & I'm definitely going to whop it up myself! I runout of style for my hair but I think this one* will do! Thank you so much for sharing this sis! God bless you! By the way...I Luv ur accent too!! :)
I know this probably really late but u are a life saver. I've been trying to get my 4c hair curlier because it has a more kinky affect. Again thank you. 😄
Nice, I just did some flat twist out in my hair today. I love to them, it such a faster method to do a twist out. I will post my video soon on my channel, to show my results.
Great vid...it came out great! But i agree with aint nobody got time to do these regularly.. Ik Im planning to try and film a twist out vid on my 4c hair tommorow..unfortunately i cant flat twist lol! New subbie!
Love Layefa, You did a fabulous job on your first flat twist. They were very neat. You will just have to be patient the next take down as to not make it frizz, but it was cute. Great job.. :)
love flat twist and I enjoy your video.I like your hair style and I am going to try your style!! I flat twist with apart.Now i going to leave out the part.Thank!!
I'm super excited that I found a 4c youtuber .. everyone in my family had 3b and up hair so I was pretty much left to figure my hair out on my own . Could you recommend any products that will help my hair growth ? I'm 13 btw
I have gotta try this. My hair is thick and I had been using the smaller twists that I saw but for me this looks easier and less time. My only problem is that my hair is straighter and longer on the top front but I think this may work.
Wow !! Your hair is gorgeous!! I just posted a video using a DEEP Conditioner as a styling product for a twist out. I loved the results, you might want to try it too!
+Kasumichick2772 Honestly, I would say stop thinking about it and possible try some protective styles for a while so that you are not manipulating your hair so much allowing it time and space to grow.
I love watching natural hair videos, but my hair does not come out like anyone eleses that ive seen, regardless of product or technique, but single two strand twists have the most defined curl pattern for me thus far
i actually find flat twisting in smaller sections faster, with big sections, its just too much hair to handle for me and a lot of hair gets caught in the wrong section which makes for a longer takedown session and less definition
Camille Rose Almond Jhai Twisting Butter and Moisture Milk are great products for retaining moisture. And the leave no residue in my hair. As an added bonus, the twisting butter moisturizes my cuticles so it's great for my nails.
I'm lazy so this will take me like 2 days lol but you sound like a chipper Garnet from Steven Universe, I love it and I think your result is pretty so I'mma try it out.

Love Layefa ooh got it ..I know what u mean.. well I could listen to u talk all day so... more videos please lol
I love your hair!!!
How long did it take to grow it that long
Love this and love your voice/accent. I'm going to try this tonight, hopefully this is the one that works for my hair because I'm seriously tired of cyber stalking every natural hair twist out video! :)
girl your hair is beautiful, and I loved the blue contrast against your skin and hair, not to be creepy.
Looks simply amazing! If really pressed for time...2 braids or twist down each side works too.
Cool!!!😇

I just finished them and they look a hot mess, lol. Can't wait to see my twist out tomorrow.
That came out so pretty. As I sit here waiting on my chunky twist out to dry, I'm definitely going to consider flat twist next time.
vitafeb2184 yeay, hope they came out nice. thanks for watching. x
Beautiful results
I just tried the Bantu knots with the flat twist and it made a really big difference because usually by ends frizz up but the Bantu knots help a lot
Your hair is so pretty. Twist out looks really nice too
Thank you for sharing! I love that your fingers got a little stuck in your hair and that the flat twists were a little messy. Mine turn out the same way and I was getting a bit frustrated with myself because other vloggers I've viewed end up with such neat twists. I don't feel so bad now.

I came here for style ideas but I'm currently on your SoundCloud in love with this music...

I love it, it came out pretty. I hate doing flat twists too, I can never seem to get my fingers to work right lol.
It's def worth the time and if u don't pull it out at the roots too much u can actually retwist at nite fairly easy!.
Nice hair! I must confess, the flat twist saved my natural hair journey!!!!!
Jearlean Jenkins I love flat twists. lol

Love your technique. twist out looks great.
Layefa darling! How many years of growth is that on your head? Beautiful.

i realy n truly love ur way of making ur hair to curl.... what oil do u use to make them curl anyway??..*
Favorite-ing!
Nice natural look in the end...I like it...
I love your hair! My hair is shorter than yours and I just want to know how to make my hair just as long as yours. Any tips?
+Kasumichick2772 Honestly, I would say stop thinking about it and possible try some protective styles for a while so that you are not manipulating your hair so much allowing it time and space to grow.
I love watching natural hair videos, but my hair does not come out like anyone eleses that ive seen, regardless of product or technique, but single two strand twists have the most defined curl pattern for me thus far
This was just amazing
Loved the tutorial.. Subscribed x
+dericahJ thank you. it means a lot. x
your hair looks great.

+Tonya D. Powell thanks I'll look into it. x
I love your accent...your hair looks beautiful. :-)
Just beautiful!!!!!!!!!!
I will definitely try this because I tried bantu knots and three strand twist and it was a disaster
Jamaicangirl Tina let me know how it goes. Make sure your hair is completely dry before unravelling.
I'm lazy so this will take me like 2 days lol but you sound like a chipper Garnet from Steven Universe, I love it and I think your result is pretty so I'mma try it out.
Great video! may I ask what you used to edit your thumbnail? x
thank you. I just use photoshop. x
New sub! Your hair is gorgeous. Thanks for the video! Your hair looks like mine. :-)
Never seen my eyes get so big until I saw the scissors 😂😂😂
looool
