Omgoodness thank you SO much. I have traditional locs but really tried to find a tutorial for our daughter! Only doing a few color "highlight" yarn dbl strand twists for her and your tutorial helped tremendously. Thanks and many blessings for 2012!! Peace...e your
This is very pretty and it looks more natural than twisting with synthetic hair. Great tutorial and easy to follow along. I'm going to try this sometime soon.
How do you prep your hair before long-term styles? (like, moisturize-wise) I want to put some yarn twists in this weekend. I'm thinking: deep condition, use leave-in conditioner, and maybe some oil...but I haven't found anything perfect yet. I'd like to hear your response because you've done this style enough times to know (read: I think you're an expert :o} ) Thanks!
Hi there! I wash and condition with an ayurvedic treatment/conditioner. Right before twisting, I apply conditioner (as a leave-in) and a hair butter or grease. After I finish twisting my hair, I spray (and spray) with either an aloe vera juice spritz or my care free curl gold hair and scalp spray. I hope this helped! :-)
i tried the tiwst but it didnt turn out right. is there a certain way your suppose to put your figures so it comes out the right why. please message me any info...or if you could make a video doing step by step in a waay..
Which takes longer to install yarn braids or yarn twist? Also does it work in White peoples hair because i love this style And I really want to try it :)
Yarn twists are quicker to do. I did yarn braids once and it took forever to install and forever to take out! :-(
Good question about being able to do this on Caucasian hair. I think it could; I don't see why it wouldn't work. If you try it, please let me know! :-)
Oh gosh, I have this exact problem and no solution (sorry!). The frizzies are especially bad after wash day. Believe it or not, I have been thinking about what can be done. I plan on rebraiding a few twists this week and have thought about using gel. The shea butter and grease just ain't working! :-)
This video is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I was agonizing over how I could make my hair as long as I want, and have it be in braids, and have it not put a ton of stress on my hair (I perm mine), AND it not cost ten bazillion dollars! I make yarnfalls and yarn dreads already, but I was getting tired of that. Now I have this wonderful video to try something new and amazing. Have you ever used different color yarns? I plan to use red and black for my first try. Thank you so much for this video!
I am glad this vid helped! I have never used different colors. I did buy a chocolate brown to use, but chickened out. I need to be more adventurous! I bet the red and black will look nice!
Hey there! I braided yarn into my hair the very first time I wore it. It took forever to install and forever (and ever and ever and ever) to take out. I vowed, "Never again" and have worn twists ever since! I love my yarn twists! :-)
You tube is amazing, theanility to share tru hair and beautl profressional so easiely. Check or youtube simplext the are001% perscenryl truly deamess 100 uhumajin hair with free sh1pping.
While searching Youtube for videos of women with natural fine hair like mine I found your channel. I love it. I think you are beautiful and your yarn twists tutorial inspired me to put yarn twists in my hair this weekend. It turned out okay. In time I will get better. Keep up the good work!
Sometimes I wonder why I continue putting up videos, and after reading your comment, I suddenly realized why. It is nice knowing you can help people in any small way. Thank you for this beautiful comment.
I am glad you tried the yarn twists! It will get easier and easier the more you install them. I started out using synthetic hair and my first attempts were terrrible (ask my husband :-), but I got better and better the longer I did it.
Thanks! I use yarn for several reasons: it is cheaper than synthetic hair, lighter (less stress on hair strands), and it mimics the look of locs. I will never use synthetic hair again! :-)
Thank you! It takes about 7 hours to put in the yarn twists. Lately, though, I have been putting in "chunky" yarn twists - bigger twists using more sections of hair - and that takes 3.5 hours. I did a vid of this - check it out! :-)
I absolutely love the yarn braids. I have a few questions for you. Is beeswax good to use on your hair when doing the yarn twist? Will the yarn lock your hair?
Yarn is the BEST. I used beeswax only once a few years ago when I was doing two-strand twists. I HATED it - it coated my hair in a really yucky way. So, I am not the one to ask about beeswax. :-) I stay away from it like the plague! :-) I use grease or shea butter.
I think you run the risk of locking your hair if you leave the yarn in too long. I only keep mine in for 4-6 weeks.
Oh no! I am sorry to hear this. I never had a problem with unraveling yarn when knotting and burning the ends. Lately, I have eliminated the knotting and just burn the ends. While I like the way the ends look without the knot, I have experienced more yarn unraveling. But the method I show in the video...no unraveling.
Thanks! I have cut my fingers...it wasn't pretty. But I have gotten much better. :-) I do have smaller scissors, but have no idea why I don't use them! i will have pull them out.
Uh-uh. It takes longer than that! I keep them in for 5-6 weeks, and it takes about 7-8 hours to complete. I love wearing yarn, but - sheesh - the time to do them....awful!
Two days for a beginner doesn't sound bad and you probably made your twists smaller than what I do. I think you will get faster and faster.
I love it. Absolutely beautiful results. I am natural and my hair is about 3 to 4 inches in length at the top and of course shorter in the back...needless to say I have grown tired of the wash and go style and am in need of something new. About how long did it take you to do this? And does it matter the type of Acrylic yarn?
Good Job! How long did it take you to do this and is that Acrylic yarn your using? *Thank you for adding the Shea butter tip, I use Shea butter everyday for my skin but never knew i could use it in my hair*
@Renee, I just love your yarn braids. I am going to save this video in my favorites and see if I can try to do my own. I have never braided my hair at all. I must say, you have a beautiful voice. I think this is the first one of your videos I watched and actually hear your voice. Excellent video. Merry Christmas!
Hey lady! Thank you for much. I love yarn. It is the best. Just be careful not to use too much product or leave them in too long - the buildup is terrible. I leave mine in 4-5 weeks.
@NappyNFree I will make sure I send you a pm before I do them. By the way, how long have you been wearing them and have you notice a diffrence in the length of your hair after taking them out? I h ope you had a great Christmas (hubby too!).
Hey! I wore the yarn twists for over a year (Oct 2009 - Nov 2010). I have had them out all of Dec, and it has been nice rediscovering my hair. :-) My hair didn't grow drastically - I am a slow grower - but it kept my hair protected and my ends strong.
@NappyNFree That is the only thing that I do not like about braids is because I miss my own hair. It is good to have the freedom of not having to do much to your hair, but natural hair, to me, needs so much TLC. I might continue to wear wigs and see what happens.
Yes, I did miss my hair. Now that it has been out for a month, I think I will rebraid soon. I am thinking about trying coffee-colored yarn. I bought some today. :-)
@NappyNFree the coffee-colored yarn sounds yummy! I might go out and look for some this weekend. I did search for some in Walmart over the Christmas vacation and could not find the brand that you mentioned. Did you say you purchase yours at Michaels? I have got to come up with some more protective styles.
I love this video and the out come Ive been wanting to do kinky twist but didnt want to buy the hair. I have had yarn braided and would rather try with yarn before i invest in packs of hair. thank you ill let you know how it goes for me.
Hi! The vaseline didn't do anything good or bad. However, a few weeks ago I used Softee hair grease and was amazed at how soft my hair was when I took out the yarn.
Thanks for your response- I can't find my original comment. But yeah, I will def keep yarn twists in mind since I have loads of yarn left. I am in love eith the finished products of yarn braids.. the locked look! check out my vid to see photos. ;O)
Did you made a loop in your yarn right before putting them in like the rest of the naturals on Youtube? Or did you just got the amount of yarn you wanted, wrappped it around your hair and just started braiding? Because I Found the loop technique to be a little harder causing the yarn to be too far away from my roots. I was wonder if just braiding it in would be acceptable..
Hi there. I loop the yarn around the hair strand and start braiding. I just redid my hair yesterday and it is the first time that I braided my hair really tight...almost too tight. I think the trick is after you loop the yarn, you have to slide it towards your scalp and then begin braiding. I have done a vid on braiding extensions and I have a close up of my technique. Please check it out.
so I dip the ends in hot water, or u can pour the hot water in a mug and do it, becareful you don't burn yourself, it can get steamy, if you want curls you can dip too, have a towel handy, if you look at my video my braids lay down straight so well, try 5 of them to see hoer u like it

Sorry for responding so late, after I burn the ends, I get a small pot and get the water real hot, not boiling hot, if you notice the hair it looks dull like when finished, it's not straight how I like it,.... Cont
No, I have never tried this. What does it do? Do you curl the ends then dip? I am not sure how long that would last since you are dealnig with a fabric and I don't know if it would be worth the time it would take to rod your hair. Tell me more....
Your yarn braids looks really nice! This is the second time I have wore yarn braids, I have them in now took me 10 hours this time and 2 days the first time I did them, I use braid sealers to burn the ends, I made a quick video on that, next time I will try the twist and see how that goes...
10 HOURS! 2 DAYS? Oh my goodness! Girl, that is why I twist. I braided my hair the very first time wearing yarn braids and I said "Nevah again." It took forever to braid and forever to undo. I can twist my hair in about six hours. Let me know how the twists works out for you!
Your hair natural and in yarn braids is very beautiful. I'm transitioning from a relaxer and have only about 1/2 inch new growth. I put twists in, but the marley hair is causing me a considerable amount of pain and itching. Will this yarn braid work for me?
Hey there. Thanks! Synthetic hair made my head itch, too. It is the worse! I think one solution is soaking the hair white vinegar to remove some of the chemicals on the hair or using yarn braids. I have never had an itchy scalp because of the yarn.
Random idea: How do you feel about soaking the yarn in oil first? Does it keep it from absorbing the shea butter you just put in, or is it an unnecessary extra step?
@Setsunako6587 I guess you could do that, but soaking yarn in oil might make the twisting process a little messy. Then since oil doesn't "dry" I don't know how long the excess oil would stay on the yarn because your hair wouldn't absorb all the oil. I coat my hair with shea butter because I am not going to see it for awhile and this is the only opportunity I can make sure I take care of each and every strand...especially since I use very little oil/butter while wearing yarn. I hope this helps.
i am so glad that i found your tutorial because they other ones i watched were doing extra things with the yarn..ur video is very simple...its very useful..
I love your tutorial.....I was sitting here trying to learn from someone else's tutorial but they (yarn twists) were just unraveling (and too loose)...glad I found you the rollling while twisting is what really makes them stay!!!!!!
Thank you! I am taking out my yarn twists this weekend and thought about doing another video that only shows (in slow motion) how to twist yarn into hair. My way in this video isn't necessary the BEST way. Stay tuned!!! :-)
Your hair looks good. I'm trying to find someone in NC that can do them and they look like the ladies on YT. Very nice style, I guess I will have to settle with Kinky Twist I can't do my own hair, wish I could. :)
you did a great job. I did my yarn braids and it's growing already. i think im going to do a big chop but im afraid if i do a big chop that my hair won't be what i want it to be. so im going to take mine down and do them in a shorter style. and maybe twist them. but great job!
@baileydo1 Thanks! I love the yarn twists. I took these out last week. I am going to give my hair a rest for a few weeks before putting them back in my hair. I am going to do a bob. I want to do a shorter style, too.
That looks really nice, I recently purchased yarn to do yarn braids I don't think I will try this just yet, I have a problem twisting my hair now and I have kinky twist hair that is meant to be twisted it unravels which tells me I don't have a clue, I will do yarn braids really soon, I can't wait.
Hey Diva! I wish that I had the patience (or the time - for that matter) to try this. I love this video! I'm thinking of trying this on my Big Girl's hair, but... is the yarn heavy? Her hair won't tolerate weight nor a lot of tension?
I like it and think that I can do my own hair but I dont think that they sell yarn for my hair color. when I bought human hair I had to buy #4 any suggestions?
I have worn 4 when wearing synthetic hair. To me, it is a color between black and brown. I don't know what color yarn you would need to buy. Would black drastically contrast with your hair? If it is subtle difference, maybe you could go with that color.
I like! This video was very precise. I will one day try long braids/twists. You did a good job and they are very cute and neat. Thank you for showcasing my earrings in your videos! Many Blessings....
There is a young woman whose YT name is inspiredcoils. She has a tutorial on yarn braids that I think you would like. She recommends using Homespun brand yarn because it is coiled like our hair tends to be. I also think that her technique for wrapping the yarn and cutting may be easier and faster.
very nice

Did you made a loop in your yarn right before putting them in like the rest of the naturals on Youtube? Or did you just got the amount of yarn you wanted, wrappped it around your hair and just started braiding? Because I Found the loop technique to be a little harder causing the yarn to be too far away from my roots. I was wonder if just braiding it in would be acceptable..

Hi there. I loop the yarn around the hair strand and start braiding. I just redid my hair yesterday and it is the first time that I braided my hair really tight...almost too tight. I think the trick is after you loop the yarn, you have to slide it towards your scalp and then begin braiding. I have done a vid on braiding extensions and I have a close up of my technique. Please check it out.

so I dip the ends in hot water, or u can pour the hot water in a mug and do it, becareful you don't burn yourself, it can get steamy, if you want curls you can dip too, have a towel handy, if you look at my video my braids lay down straight so well, try 5 of them to see hoer u like it

I will have to check out your vid and try this. How long do the curls last?
NappyNFree 1 year ago
Sorry for responding so late, after I burn the ends, I get a small pot and get the water real hot, not boiling hot, if you notice the hair it looks dull like when finished, it's not straight how I like it,.... Cont

Do you by any chance dip your yarn braids into hot water? It looks really good when its dipped...
sonebone7 1 year ago
@sonebone7
No, I have never tried this. What does it do? Do you curl the ends then dip? I am not sure how long that would last since you are dealnig with a fabric and I don't know if it would be worth the time it would take to rod your hair. Tell me more....

Your yarn braids looks really nice! This is the second time I have wore yarn braids, I have them in now took me 10 hours this time and 2 days the first time I did them, I use braid sealers to burn the ends, I made a quick video on that, next time I will try the twist and see how that goes...
sonebone7 1 year ago
@sonebone7
10 HOURS! 2 DAYS? Oh my goodness! Girl, that is why I twist. I braided my hair the very first time wearing yarn braids and I said "Nevah again." It took forever to braid and forever to undo. I can twist my hair in about six hours. Let me know how the twists works out for you!

@NappyNFree Yes girl! I will do the twist next time lol!!!!

Your hair natural and in yarn braids is very beautiful. I'm transitioning from a relaxer and have only about 1/2 inch new growth. I put twists in, but the marley hair is causing me a considerable amount of pain and itching. Will this yarn braid work for me?

@pb9103
Hey there. Thanks! Synthetic hair made my head itch, too. It is the worse! I think one solution is soaking the hair white vinegar to remove some of the chemicals on the hair or using yarn braids. I have never had an itchy scalp because of the yarn.

Random idea: How do you feel about soaking the yarn in oil first? Does it keep it from absorbing the shea butter you just put in, or is it an unnecessary extra step?
Setsunako6587 1 year ago
@Setsunako6587 I guess you could do that, but soaking yarn in oil might make the twisting process a little messy. Then since oil doesn't "dry" I don't know how long the excess oil would stay on the yarn because your hair wouldn't absorb all the oil. I coat my hair with shea butter because I am not going to see it for awhile and this is the only opportunity I can make sure I take care of each and every strand...especially since I use very little oil/butter while wearing yarn. I hope this helps.

I love your tutorial.....I was sitting here trying to learn from someone else's tutorial but they (yarn twists) were just unraveling (and too loose)...glad I found you the rollling while twisting is what really makes them stay!!!!!!

Thank you! I am taking out my yarn twists this weekend and thought about doing another video that only shows (in slow motion) how to twist yarn into hair. My way in this video isn't necessary the BEST way. Stay tuned!!! :-)

Your hair looks good. I'm trying to find someone in NC that can do them and they look like the ladies on YT. Very nice style, I guess I will have to settle with Kinky Twist I can't do my own hair, wish I could. :)

you did a great job. I did my yarn braids and it's growing already. i think im going to do a big chop but im afraid if i do a big chop that my hair won't be what i want it to be. so im going to take mine down and do them in a shorter style. and maybe twist them. but great job!
baileydo1 1 year ago
@baileydo1 Thanks! I love the yarn twists. I took these out last week. I am going to give my hair a rest for a few weeks before putting them back in my hair. I am going to do a bob. I want to do a shorter style, too.
NappyNFree 1 year ago
That looks really nice, I recently purchased yarn to do yarn braids I don't think I will try this just yet, I have a problem twisting my hair now and I have kinky twist hair that is meant to be twisted it unravels which tells me I don't have a clue, I will do yarn braids really soon, I can't wait.

Hey Diva! I wish that I had the patience (or the time - for that matter) to try this. I love this video! I'm thinking of trying this on my Big Girl's hair, but... is the yarn heavy? Her hair won't tolerate weight nor a lot of tension?

I like it and think that I can do my own hair but I dont think that they sell yarn for my hair color. when I bought human hair I had to buy #4 any suggestions?
ghameurn 2 years ago
I have worn 4 when wearing synthetic hair. To me, it is a color between black and brown. I don't know what color yarn you would need to buy. Would black drastically contrast with your hair? If it is subtle difference, maybe you could go with that color.

There is a young woman whose YT name is inspiredcoils. She has a tutorial on yarn braids that I think you would like. She recommends using Homespun brand yarn because it is coiled like our hair tends to be. I also think that her technique for wrapping the yarn and cutting may be easier and faster.
