#21 - Kinky Twists Tutorial (Part 1)

Okay so we've all seen it, there's like a thousand videos on here on how to do Kinky Twists. Nevertheless, I figured I'd go ahead and show everyone how I do my Kinky Twists.

I did the front in rows so that when the twists start getting old-looking I can flat twist them back and give the style some versatility and keep it from looking too raggedy.

Here are a few tips that I suggest when doing this style:

1. When you're doing any extention braiding style you should stretch your hair out and NEVER do them while your hair is wet. So I suggest that you stretch your hair out with a blowdryer or plait your hair the night before if you don't want to use heat.
- Now in my case I plaited my hair the night before with leave-in conditioner to stretch it out (cuz I don't have a hair dryer).

2. Now you could put some type of gel in your hair when you do them but I don't because it dries my hair out. So if you have some good gel (preferrably some type of Aloe Vera gel) then feel free to use it.

3. When you are actually doing the kinky twists, I suggest you braid tightly (not so tight around your hairline) close to the scalp for at least an inch (I usually do about 5 - 6 passes braiding). When you stop braiding and begin twisting split your hair evenly into the two extention pieces. This give it a much better hold, it looks more natural, and it looks much more consistant so people can't tell where your hair stops. lol

4. Lastly, when you're twisting, twist both hair pieces as you wrap them around each other to create a tight twist. Also, make sure you twist as far down to the ends as you can. If you need to, you can borrow some hair from one piece and add it to the other so that the ends twist evenly.

GnyseGirl has a tutorial on how to do kinky twists without the braid at the top. you should do them that way next time because it's actually easier

[AfrikanHairGod]

@ccwright1990 I know what your talking about, I, personally, actually prefer braiding the roots. To me it gives a more secure, natural, looking hold at the base. Some may find that method to be more easier but I prefer braiding.
