Flat Twist Twistout using Twist while Twisting Technique (Tutorial)

[sosyced]

I watched your video recently for 2010 with the bc clip at the end. My second time around to the natural world. I originally went back to perming cause of the dry, brittle breakage I thought I was getting away from by going natural. Loved the really tight curls, how'd you get them and the moisture. Help a sista whos returning to her roots.

Just so I can respond correctly, what is your specific question?

[sweethoney2219]

is glycerin an oil i could seal with?

[ShidaNatural]

Glycerin is not an oil. It is a humectant which attracts moisture.

[sweethoney2219]

ooooh, (makes sense). well thanks for letting me know. i guess im gonna try some olive oil. does it matter if its extra virgin or not?

[ShidaNatural]

I personally like the Extra Virgin Olive Oil since it's in its most purest form.

[meluvself]

who is this singing? is it ruben studdard? if so which cd?

[ShidaNatural]

Nay, that's Dave Hollister

[alsaxon]

so how are these different than regular flat twists (in terms of the end result)?

[ShidaNatural]

In my opinion, I think the twistout comes out more defined when using the "Twist While Twisting" method.

love the hair! I've been trying to do the same hair style to my hair for over an year (I've had natural hair for about a year braids, sew-in, etc. no perms) and the closest I can get to the hairstyle that you have is a braid out which doesn't last very long and i feel as if it takes FOREVER to do haha! I would like to try your method but i'm nervous about the products I put in my hair.

[1PoeticBeauty]

I usually use pantene for dark hair, shampoos and conditoners with jojoba oil. Do you think that this will be enough to maintain the hairstyle that you have or do I need more? And how long does your hair style usually last (I have a satin hair bonnett for the twist out when I try)? Also, do you do the twist while your hair is wet after washing or do you let it dry? My hair is around the length as yours and I want to max the length to look like yours. Again good job and cute hair :-)

[ShidaNatural]

I'm sorry I'm just responding 2 ur comment bout my twistout, but didn't c it til now. I have a product that I sell called Ashea shea butter pomade. This is the product I now use when I do my twists / twistout. I achieve a fabulously elongated, defined, shiny soft twistout. I'm actually just starting up my natural hair beauty supply store & I do retail the pomade for $9 if interested. I'll send u my Ashea product review video so u can see how my twists/twistout turned out after using the product.

Your hair looks great! I love that side shot!! This seems to be quicker and easier than a regular twist out with the same outcome! I have to try this one of these days, but I need to pratice on the flat twists.

[ShidaNatural]

Yea, I need to practice & perfect my flat twists.

[my2boys74]

Word?! Cool. I'm about to wash my hair now and give it a try. I hope I'm not up to late, LOL. Thanks for getting back to me. I'll let you know how it goes.

[my2boys74]

That is so darn cute!! I need to learn how to do flat twist.

[ShidaNatural]

It's real easy once you get the hang of it... This was only my second time doing flat twists on my hair, and I just did a more recent Flat Twistout "BIG HAIR" vid, and got even better with the twist while twisting method and got even better results.

[bigladytf]

can you make a list of the product you use.I am think serious about going Natural .I need advice from what to do first a -z!

[ShidaNatural]

How about you start with viewing my hair products video, and remember these 4 letters HMCN: Hydrate (Water), Moisturize (Moisturizer), Condition (Conditioner), Nourish (Oils)... Incorporate these 4 letters in your daily hair care routine and you'll be on your way to healthy-looking, moist (non-dry, non-brittle) natural hair. I just sent you my hair products video in a personal message to you. Having the product list is one thing... Knowing how & when to incorporate the products is another thing.

[naturally4us]

I need more of Jesus. I love that music. Happy valentine's Day. May God bless you and give you peace today. I love your hair.

[ShidaNatural]

Thank you fam.

[lyndsi1988]

Very cute!!!I can't wink..it looks all retarded when I try...lol..great vid girl!!!Where did u get those ear rings from?

[ShidaNatural]

OMG! I've had those earrings for years and years! I honestly don't remember where I got them from. Sorry boo... and you can't wink!... lol. :-)

[hendev33]

[ShidaNatural]

Thank you Darling.

[HairNails08]

love it

[ShidaNatural]

Thank you girl

[goldpurse]

love it, LOVE IT. I'm all into the twist/braids and twist's outs. they're so cute and it's so much healtier than my blow drying. You look fab!

[ShidaNatural]

Yea, I agree. I can't remember the last time I blowdried my hair. I scared to put any heat in it cuz last time I blowdried and flat ironed my hair, I damaged the ends severely. I can give advice about natural hair care but I def cannot give advice on heat styling.

[FOXYJ84]

[ShidaNatural]

Thanks Foxy, and I will be replying to your personal message very very soon.

[jeco5]

that was nice. that was the ultimate twist out. dont change a thing

[ShidaNatural]

Oh word!... Thanks! I did it again last night but I haven't taken them out yet.

[PRETTYDIMPLES01]

very cute. have you ever tried a side part. gives it a little jazz to it. :)

[ShidaNatural]

Thanks, and yes I have tried a side part but only with my wash/wet & go styles, not the twistout. I'm singing at a CD Release party tomorrow night and I want to wear the flat twist twistout style again but with no parts... gonna wear it to the side with a side bang (if you can picture it).
