Pretty hair. I was doing the two-strain twist with water in the 80's. Black women use to stop me on the street but I never thought until they starting popping up to open up a salon.
i left my twists in for a while in hopes they lock up, but iam taking them out tommorrow, ive had them in 3/4 months now, iam going to be able to take them out?
Whoo hoo, yes I'm DEFINITELY trying this like right now. I get so sick just sitting down twisting & twisting & combing & twisting some more. Ugh - love doing my hair but geez it can be VERY annoying! Makes me hesitate to wash my hair sometimes. LOL.
Hello There! WHen u dtngld ur hair in the shwr, did u keep the water on the whole time or did u cut it on only when u needed it? When I try to dtngle in the shwr I always run outta hot water!!
Rustic Beauty, I LOVE your videos! I am a natural, TRANSITIONING from heat damage! But i aspire to those thick, lush 2-strand twists (and twist-outs). Please keep them coming, because you give me hope! PEACE.
You seem so ginuine n funny too. Iam very glad you did this vid. I'm new to the no heat styles n I've been doing the braid out for about a couple of week now. Been wanting to try the two strand twist but was a little nervous about tryn it...wasn't sure I could do it. You really make it look so easy. Definitely going to try it when I wash in a couple of days. Thanks so much!
i decided to go natural a while ago but my hair straighten is only neck length so when it goes back natural it's short, dry and unmanageable so i relaxed it over instead but it still dry n breaking up i want to how do i keep it healthy n make it grow to my bra clasp ?

Hello Rustic Beauty-In the past week, I have started viewing many vids and tutorials on transitioning. This is new to me; I have been relaxer free for approximately eight months and your videos have been very, very informative. I hope you will continue to update those of us who are newbies and looking forward to this journey of healthier hair. Again, thank u.
You are so helpful because I was afraid to take my hair out of braids and wear it loose but you have given me so many tips and I feel comfortable seeing someone else with long AND thick hair doing it. Thank you...and your hair is absolutely beautiful. =] I can't wait to try the twist out for the first time!
I love this! How do you keep your ends from unraveling? I'm trying to learn how to properly twist my hair and I really like the way yours came out! I want to be able to wear the twists for a few days before I undo them and wear it free.
this is absolutely true i did 2 strands for the first time on my hair last night and i just grabbed hair...it didnt even take me an hour..no comb used. i just got in the habit of even detangling my hair bc i have been wearing wash and gos since going natural over a year ago :)
It's faster if you don't use a comb to part it. Just use your fingers and you cut out a lot of time because you're not worried about being perfect. The best thing about this style is that the twists don't have to be uniform.
I just found your videos today for the first time and I am so inspired. I've been natural for about 5 years but my hair keeps breaking because it's DRY and I haven't taken good care of it. I mostly wear a 2 strand twist and I twist it with a loc and twist gel and it lasts for weeks at a time. Is that gel drying my hair? What product do you use when you twist your hair?
i think your current method is great and you're saving lots of time.just one question.with so much product in your hair when you're styling your hair and your hair touches your face,do you get acne from the hair products?
I learnt this method by force because, it's very difficult for me to comb out my hair, plus I believe less breakage. I don't comb my hair out that much...if tangled I will condition it ....It works for me..I hate combs..can you let me know what products you used. Did I mention I hate combs..LOL.
I know that this question has been posed before, but I would REALLLLLLLY appreciate a tutorial on your two-strand twist method. I always wear twist outs, but they just lock up after a day of two and get knotted up so i have to un twist them and start over. i love your method and would love to try it sometime.
Omg.. what is ur secret to ur twist... my twist looks horrible.. i am i am still learning and tryin. I love yr hair sooo much.. very nice.. great vids.. if u have any advice please drop me a line... SOS.. LOL
Rustic Beauty! Thank you so much. You are probably the best example of afro-amer natural hair growth on youtube-trust me, I've seen them all! Of course, I'm at the start of my hair journey, but your advice is practical and the health of your hair, while beautiful, acutally seems attainable for a fledgling hair grower like me-I'm a devout student of hair growth and its always easy to spot an effective teacher-teach on my sister-we need you!!
I love natural hair. I honestly feel that natural sistas have more freedom than relaxed girls. We don't have to run from the rain or worry about our hair when we go swimming. And I think it is just beautiful. It's kind of sad that a lot of black folks can't see it that way. Which is why some people call it self-hate.
That's what it's about. People reaching out to help other people through their journeys. I've been natural for almost 10 years and locked for 8 and things like this (people just posting and showing their hair tips online) are so very helpful. BTW, YOUR HAIR IS GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!
Your hair is so nice. Can two-strand twists last for a month? I want to do them, but scared they'll unravel or get messy/fuzzy in few days because my hair's on the soft side. I want to be able to wash and Dc every two weeks in them, and co-wash or just rinse my hair with water 2x a week in them. How do you do they so they hold well?
lol...I am new to natural hair about 7 months. This is the format I follow because my hair very tangled when I wash it. This sequence for detangling prevents me from combing it all out. I thought I was doing it wrong. Keep up the great videos-I have learned so much watching them as I put two strand twist into my hair.
Oh my gosh, you are to funny, LOL. You sound so excited. I'm glad you were to take some time off doing your hair. That's always a plus. By the way, your hair is just gorgeous. I love the way it just springs back.
I have a TWA that's always tangled. Your method of detangling in the show I will definitely try when rinse out my deep conditioner tomorrow. Thanks!!:)
Wow. You are fast. You should definitely open up your salon. When I was young and my Mom washed my hair she would always detangle it when she put the conditioner in it. So even when I had a relaxer in and especially when I went back to my natural hair I always detangled in the shower with the conditioner still in my hair. Thanks for all of your hair and health tips. Please keep em coming.
I washed my daughter's hair last nite. SOOOOO it took me from washing to finishing the twist 2hr & that has been the best. After watching all your videos the first time it took me 4 1/2. thx
Your videos have been a Godsend! My daughter has the same type of hair as you, and her hair regimen has been so simplified using your techniques. Your hair looks beautiful as usual. Thank you for all of what you do.
LOL. I had ALWAYS knew that it was crazy to spend time untangling my hair more than once (my mama told me so), but it was a habit incredibly hard to break. Now, I mostly untangle with my hands and barely use the comb.
(angeeqt) It has a slight nutty taste, if you use too much it can overpower you dish, but if you put it in oatmeal or cereal you usually can't taste it.
I agree! Aren't they the most beautiful bouncy twists on You Tube! I'm still fighting with the quality of my hair, but hopefully, I'll get 6 hours down to 40 minutes too! It'll give me so much freedom!
lol my hair is not nearly as long as yours and it takes me FOREVER to twist because my hair is not that thick an i have to make them small or i look funny (i think). and you're right about the coily hair thing. i need a trim soooo bad! anyway, love your hair!
Thanks for sharing this! Welcome to my world of 40 min twist sessions. Woot WOO! Thanks for sharing about the knots too. Those slow down the process. You are making people's lives easier. :)
Always great to find a way to simplify and reduce shedding. I had an epiphany moment when I realized that detangling in the shower really does NOT work for my family.
Great video! I'm natural and I recently started only detangling my hair in the shower after a co-wash when styling in twists, also. It is definitely a time saver.
Isn't it wonderful?! I felt the exact same way when I made this discovery in 2006. My life has been so much easier. I've recently discovered that making my twists just a little bit bigger saves me a whole lot of time too. So, i'm working to perfect medium sized twists. Thanks for enlightening others about this. It truly is something that other naturals should try out.
Another fabulous video. It was also great to read in your description area of your eating regimen. I am sooo trying to give up caffeine for a personal 100 challenge. I believe I can change my habits and incorporate more water and tea. Wish me luck!
I love your hair and your videos. This is my second month as a natural and paying more attention to your videos as well as some others has really helped me in my natural journey. I can't wait until my hair is as long as yours.
That's right gurl!! I stopped combing my hair in the morning too and just put enough products in it and put in a ponytail, or when i go to bed i just crab hair and start to put them in large braids ;-) It's sooo much easier and our hair likes it! ;-D
You've really been combing each section? I never did that, but it still takes me 5 hours to properly twist my hair and it's nowhere near as long as yours. But I do make mine much smaller and I keep them in for at least a week. I wish it didn't take me as long!
omg, who you tellin'? that's one reason i can't wait for my hair to get to at least shoulder length. with shorter hair, you have to be meticulous if you want your twists to look tame for a week or two. it's a labor of love though. :-)
YES!!!! I tried this on my last wash and I was like wait, where is my hair fallin gout....lol NOTHING!!!!!!!! Thanks for showing the world. I may do a vid as well.
(SGmom2) I HAVE to, they only get worse. Some strands I may have 3 knots and that is HORRIBLE, I am going to start trimming more frequently because I can't stand them. When I first natural, I had my hair in a fro...I would instantly get them within 24hours, lol. I have to keep my hair twisted or a twist out to minimize them.
You're right about keeping kinky hair in a low menipulation hair style. I have been trying to be good about keeping my hair in flat twists or two strand twists for a week at a time.
I just watched this again so I had to comment again. I am sooo happy! I have 3 girls and 1 more on the way ( god willing). Getting our hair done after washing was our biggest challenge. Keep your epiphanies and new things coming RusticBeauty.
Hi rusticbeauty!! I just started viewing your videos and it has been so educational for me. Your enthusiasm has been the bomb!!! Ive been natural for 4 years and lovin it but it's plenty of work. Where do you get your shea butter ?
(beautydee9)Thank you, yeah natural hair can be plenty of work but I have recently been trying to cut down my work this year,I know there are tricks out there to make stuff easier, and I am going to find them,lol! I get my shea butter from butters-n-bars dotcom. Thanks for watching!
hi rustic...i've been a faithful follower since this summer, and I still luv luv luv your vids...i've learned so much from you...since I first started watching your vids, I've noticed that you've had ALOT of growth...is there anything specific that attribute this too? new products, change in diet, supplements, etc?
i havent combed my hair in what, a year? i just let the shower and conditioner detangle while i finger comb (my comb's in the trash LOL) This just saves so much hair :)
Discovering something new . . . isn't that a great feeling! I used to detangle my dry hair before washing and detangle again w/conditioner. Not anymore, all of the detangling takes place w/conditioner. Talk about saving time!
i noticed u said sometimes drench with shea...does it leave your hair feeling heavy, greasy, or anything like that? I just got me some and was afraid to put too much.
(mbrown113d) I typically drench it in shea butter when my hair is in two strand twists and then I put it in a ponytail or before I go to bed. If I do it that way, I don't have to remoisture for a week or so. However, you would get the same effect if you moisturized it moderately ever other day.
I just love how happy you are about your discovery. I'm learning the same thing, least week I've been using less comb and letting my fingers do the work. If it's already detangled, there's no need for the comb! I just need to incorporate the evil scissors in my regiment.
If I'm not mistaken, didn't you mention once that your hair was 4a or 4b? If so, did you go through a process where you had to train your hair cause that hair type is usually dry. How did you train your hair to retain moisture and become more supple and manageable?
(iroc31407) Yeah, I guess you can say I went through a process. I 'rarely' have my hair feeling dry. Sometimes I drench my hair with shea butter. I do not play with moisture-to me that is the most important thing for my hair health.
How long did it take for you to achieve that length? And when you went through the process, how often did you moisturize until you got to the point you are today? What do you recommend for 4a/4b hair that is extremely thick and has that cottony texture?
(iroc31407)Well my last relaxer was May 2003, So that is about 5 and a half years. I have been doing trimming and a cutting so I don't know exactly when my hair got to this length. Moisturing my hair sometimes depends on the climate...sometimes I would do it every other day, sometimes every three days, and maybe once a week. Everyone is different--if it EVER feels dry don't hesitate to add moisture. I personally have been using shea butter faithfully for about 5 years and it has worked for me.
This is my favorite post of yours!!! I have a question. Did a hot oil treatment on my hair last night and i heard you say you would do a cold wash to yours the next day. What is a cold wash and why do you do it. Do you have a video about it? BTW I feel you on what you said about moisture.
(need2me) Hi, I mentioned a co-wash, which means (conditioner washing) only. Basically sometimes shampoos can be drying so doing co-washes instead can help regain moisture. Just yt search 'co-wash' and a lot of videos will pop up, I am glad you liked the video!
where her channel go? its no longer on youtube :(

Your videos have been a Godsend! My daughter has the same type of hair as you, and her hair regimen has been so simplified using your techniques. Your hair looks beautiful as usual. Thank you for all of what you do.

LOL. I had ALWAYS knew that it was crazy to spend time untangling my hair more than once (my mama told me so), but it was a habit incredibly hard to break. Now, I mostly untangle with my hands and barely use the comb.

I'd been thinking about using wheat germ, what does it taste like?
angeeqt 3 years ago
(angeeqt) It has a slight nutty taste, if you use too much it can overpower you dish, but if you put it in oatmeal or cereal you usually can't taste it.

Hunnydukes 3 years ago
I agree! Aren't they the most beautiful bouncy twists on You Tube! I'm still fighting with the quality of my hair, but hopefully, I'll get 6 hours down to 40 minutes too! It'll give me so much freedom!

lol my hair is not nearly as long as yours and it takes me FOREVER to twist because my hair is not that thick an i have to make them small or i look funny (i think). and you're right about the coily hair thing. i need a trim soooo bad! anyway, love your hair!

Thanks for sharing this! Welcome to my world of 40 min twist sessions. Woot WOO! Thanks for sharing about the knots too. Those slow down the process. You are making people's lives easier. :)

Always great to find a way to simplify and reduce shedding. I had an epiphany moment when I realized that detangling in the shower really does NOT work for my family.

Great video! I'm natural and I recently started only detangling my hair in the shower after a co-wash when styling in twists, also. It is definitely a time saver.

Isn't it wonderful?! I felt the exact same way when I made this discovery in 2006. My life has been so much easier. I've recently discovered that making my twists just a little bit bigger saves me a whole lot of time too. So, i'm working to perfect medium sized twists. Thanks for enlightening others about this. It truly is something that other naturals should try out.

Another fabulous video. It was also great to read in your description area of your eating regimen. I am sooo trying to give up caffeine for a personal 100 challenge. I believe I can change my habits and incorporate more water and tea. Wish me luck!

HOW OFTEN SHOULD U TRIM HAIR
flurtbug 3 years ago
I LOVEEEEE UR HAIR
flurtbug 3 years ago
That's right gurl!! I stopped combing my hair in the morning too and just put enough products in it and put in a ponytail, or when i go to bed i just crab hair and start to put them in large braids ;-) It's sooo much easier and our hair likes it! ;-D
FreyaMarsha 3 years ago
Yes! Now that's what I'm talking about! ^_^ ...Using a comb as little as possible makes menipulation so much easier!
We should start a movement! LOL
hollyhollyrose 3 years ago
You've really been combing each section? I never did that, but it still takes me 5 hours to properly twist my hair and it's nowhere near as long as yours. But I do make mine much smaller and I keep them in for at least a week. I wish it didn't take me as long!
tigerbaby06 3 years ago
omg, who you tellin'? that's one reason i can't wait for my hair to get to at least shoulder length. with shorter hair, you have to be meticulous if you want your twists to look tame for a week or two. it's a labor of love though. :-)

PRETTYDIMPLES01 3 years ago
Rustic, Do you trim the knots on the ends? I get them so often, and I hate to keep nipping them.
SGmom2 3 years ago
(SGmom2) I HAVE to, they only get worse. Some strands I may have 3 knots and that is HORRIBLE, I am going to start trimming more frequently because I can't stand them. When I first natural, I had my hair in a fro...I would instantly get them within 24hours, lol. I have to keep my hair twisted or a twist out to minimize them.
RusticBeauty 3 years ago
You're right about keeping kinky hair in a low menipulation hair style. I have been trying to be good about keeping my hair in flat twists or two strand twists for a week at a time.
hollyhollyrose 3 years ago
I just watched this again so I had to comment again. I am sooo happy! I have 3 girls and 1 more on the way ( god willing). Getting our hair done after washing was our biggest challenge. Keep your epiphanies and new things coming RusticBeauty.

(beautydee9)Thank you, yeah natural hair can be plenty of work but I have recently been trying to cut down my work this year,I know there are tricks out there to make stuff easier, and I am going to find them,lol! I get my shea butter from butters-n-bars dotcom. Thanks for watching!

hi rustic...i've been a faithful follower since this summer, and I still luv luv luv your vids...i've learned so much from you...since I first started watching your vids, I've noticed that you've had ALOT of growth...is there anything specific that attribute this too? new products, change in diet, supplements, etc?

i havent combed my hair in what, a year? i just let the shower and conditioner detangle while i finger comb (my comb's in the trash LOL) This just saves so much hair :)
ntrlbttrfly22 3 years ago
Discovering something new . . . isn't that a great feeling! I used to detangle my dry hair before washing and detangle again w/conditioner. Not anymore, all of the detangling takes place w/conditioner. Talk about saving time!

i noticed u said sometimes drench with shea...does it leave your hair feeling heavy, greasy, or anything like that? I just got me some and was afraid to put too much.
mbrown113d 3 years ago
(mbrown113d) I typically drench it in shea butter when my hair is in two strand twists and then I put it in a ponytail or before I go to bed. If I do it that way, I don't have to remoisture for a week or so. However, you would get the same effect if you moisturized it moderately ever other day.
RusticBeauty 3 years ago
ok thanks!

Suitepuma 3 years ago
I just love how happy you are about your discovery. I'm learning the same thing, least week I've been using less comb and letting my fingers do the work. If it's already detangled, there's no need for the comb! I just need to incorporate the evil scissors in my regiment.
goldpurse 3 years ago
If I'm not mistaken, didn't you mention once that your hair was 4a or 4b? If so, did you go through a process where you had to train your hair cause that hair type is usually dry. How did you train your hair to retain moisture and become more supple and manageable?
iroc31407 3 years ago 3
(iroc31407) Yeah, I guess you can say I went through a process. I 'rarely' have my hair feeling dry. Sometimes I drench my hair with shea butter. I do not play with moisture-to me that is the most important thing for my hair health.
RusticBeauty 3 years ago
How long did it take for you to achieve that length? And when you went through the process, how often did you moisturize until you got to the point you are today? What do you recommend for 4a/4b hair that is extremely thick and has that cottony texture?
iroc31407 3 years ago
(iroc31407)Well my last relaxer was May 2003, So that is about 5 and a half years. I have been doing trimming and a cutting so I don't know exactly when my hair got to this length. Moisturing my hair sometimes depends on the climate...sometimes I would do it every other day, sometimes every three days, and maybe once a week. Everyone is different--if it EVER feels dry don't hesitate to add moisture. I personally have been using shea butter faithfully for about 5 years and it has worked for me.
RusticBeauty 3 years ago
This is my favorite post of yours!!! I have a question. Did a hot oil treatment on my hair last night and i heard you say you would do a cold wash to yours the next day. What is a cold wash and why do you do it. Do you have a video about it? BTW I feel you on what you said about moisture.
need2bme 3 years ago
(need2me) Hi, I mentioned a co-wash, which means (conditioner washing) only. Basically sometimes shampoos can be drying so doing co-washes instead can help regain moisture. Just yt search 'co-wash' and a lot of videos will pop up, I am glad you liked the video!
